Re: LTE Connection

As eugen61 says, LTE (meaning Long Term Evolution) is 4G. Your connection is OK.

Re: Three days old!!

Just spotted that my thread has been resurrected and thought it worth updating my ongoing situation. Next week I have my B4 booked in to the local Volvo dealership for two days for them to try to rectify the problem. When they last had it in June, all that appeared to have been done was a software ...

Re: XC 40 car cover

Sounds like fun. I've been around boats for all my life but now it's mainly building RC model ones. I see your predicament. I suppose ideally you could do with someone driving it home? And there's keeping the battery charged. Home is 145 miles away so not really possible . I Just left it for 5 mont...

Since the heyday of the Roman Empire, we over here on the continent use our entire car as a dust storage compartment.
Well, yeah OK, we didn’t really have cars back then. But we sure had lots of dust.

Re: Tiny storage place on the left side of center console

The manual calls it "storage compartment at leg area".
It's not much of a storage compartment if you ask me, but it's what Volvo calls it.

Re: No more PHEV?

The worst thing is for us who tow... I can't imagine the EV range towing 1500kg of van... I have a theory on this Whilst we are being told that the move to EV is all about climate change and saving the dolphins, I have to wonder if this is simply just part of a global conspiracy to get caravans off...

Re: No more PHEV?

The gap between XC30 and XC60 would be too large I would have thought and so some form of XC40 replacement would be required. Though the XC30 is roomy so maybe not and the platform that the XC60 uses will become all electric as well so there will be a lot of changes across the range and the existin...

Re: Buying a Xc40 2020

My wife, used to Audi, wanted something different in 2019, so she got a 2020 Volvo XC40 8-speed automatic (long story short : she actually wanted an Alfa Romeo Stelvio, but Alfa couldn’t grant the conditions our company always has, while Volvo did, so …). Anyway, as it turned out, she didn’t like th...

Re: No more PHEV?

Gradually, the Volvo XC40 has become a poor and incomplete copy of what was once European Car of the Year 2018. However, the XC40 was and still is a partly European car indeed, and it’s even to some degree a real Volvo. With the EX30, that’s all gone, and it’s gone for good. The only thing « Volvo »...

Re: Sensus Map 1380 now available...

Sensus version 1426 now available... I'm downloading as we speak Yes, but a new update planned on or around July 6th, say in a little over two weeks. Yes, but this one is some three weeks late, so who knows when the next version will be released ;) Having the navigation map(s) updated regularly is ...
