sat in a slow moving Q’ for 3 hrs to get the boat at Dover.. Took 3 hrs to go from the 1st roundabout to the DFDS kiosk last night outside temp 26’ at 9 pm.. Kept on getting messages to turn engine off as hot.. did not hear a cooling fan come on at anytime.. Also the air con is pants it doesn’t blow cold as in chilly air just a cooler air than the outside temp and at 27+ is bloody rubbish.. All my other cars would freeze your feet off if you had sliders on.. Been checked all levels ok no leaks..

Was it a Volvo dealer that checked it over? If you set the control to "low" it should blow very cold air at high fan speed.

Definately not normal being told to turn off the engine??

I bought a fairly cheap scan tool so I could keep an eye on more things on the car, like coolant and oil temperature.

Yep, agree with poleposition, you have an issue or two there.

Have to say came off the boat had a good few hours to cool and just done 650 miles down to the South of France.. Never missed a beat out side temp 28’.. I did stop after 2 hrs popped the bonnet to see if it seemed overly hot but all seemed normal..As for air con will pop into local Dealer and see what their thoughts are.. As for the scanner that’s a good idea.. O for the days when you had gauges etc .. Thanks guys..
