Brilliant vid thank you. I had a 2019 D3R and now a 2022 B4awd, and they both have had the under bonnet insulation fitted.

Hi,
Just checked and my MY2022 T3 RD Pro has it fitted.

Not sure how accurate eBay's filtering is.

They also list a new on at £194 via a Lithuanian seller.

My current XC40 has the under bonnet insulation. I wonder, should I remove it before handing the car over when I pick up my new XC40 when it’s ready, just in case….

If I'd know I would have taken mine off before getting the new one. In my defence who would think about checking for bonnet pad on delivery.

Call out specifically to MY22 B4 drivers.

In relation to my complaint, Volvo have asked my dealer to supply VINs for similar cars with the pad/without the pad.

The VIn can be easily copied from the car details section of the app.

I wonder if MY22 B4 drivers could post (or DM if you'd prefer) yes/no to a fitted pad, and their VIN?

They would be quoted in an email between me and the dealer, and the dealer and Volvo.

It may simply be Volvo trying to lose it in the long grass, but it's worth a go, although I'd completely understand if you'd prefer to keep your VIN private.

Either way, thanks for reading.

Sorry Mike, I wouldn't feel safe giving out my VIN No. but can say that I do NOT have the insulation .. can't say I notice any obtrusive noise or any detemental symptoms.

Understood completely Steve.

Alternatively, is yours a MY22, and delivered in Q421onwards?

I'd agree, in the car/engine on, it's very refined. My main issue is remote starting. I can hear it inside the house.
