Re: Little known XC40 Factoids?
Hi All
As I thought could be 60%-80% Chinese content, is there anything from Sweden (maybe the wee Swedish flag some don't get) !
Maybe that's a good thing when we are out of the EU we can get all the parts from China direct not through the
stealers with all the new Tariffs added LOL

Diesel DPF recall

There is a very informative read on the official Volvo forum going on at present and past with the highly controversia...
