Lucky me, I have a new problem.
Today when I started the car (cold) it took the engine more then 10 seconds to start!
For the rest of the day it started normally.

It is the second time in a few weeks, but the first time it took only a few seconds to start.

Anybody experienced this issue to a T4?

I am very worried as if that thing goes in to start/stop modus and it does not start immediately while driving...

I've not had this with my T4 in 10 months and 5000 miles. I agree with ChrisLF about contacting the dealer. In the meantime you can avoid any safety concerns by disabling the stop/start function at the beginning of every journey. Remember that if you switch to Eco mode during a journey it will re-enable stop/start which you will have to disable again.

Been to the dealer.
Volvo says it is a known issue!
Something to do with the preheating of the catalyst.
Volvo Sweden is investigating, no solution yet.
I keep everybody posted for new developments...
