It looks like a clip or something that came loose inside the headlight. Anyone ever experience this or have any insight on how to get it out?

New update?

What do you think the second thing means? So, basically it will be flawless, haha.

Anybody have more news?

I am just hugely surprised that they will let us turn on and off start/stop system. It was not on my bingo card this year for sure.

Questions- has anyone purchased the extended warranty from Volvo? Was it worth the money? I have 21,000 miles on my 2024 V60 PE Recharge. The warranty runs out after three years. The extended warranty lasts 8 years / 60,000 miles. $5849 USD. Seems like it should be 100,000 miles…60k miles seems stingy.

I'm so close in pulling the trigger on this one. My only concern is the 77,000 miles it has. It was a fleet vehicle that's why the high mileage. It's certified by Volvo plus the dealership offers lifetime warranty

Hello. Wondering if anyone else notice a thumping sound with their recharge? It happens after pressing down on pedal after a stop. It doesn’t always happen though. It seems to come from the back maybe.

For context, I drive B mode, creep off, and the auto hold brake. I did try changing all 3 of these potential factors but the thump is still there. I changed to drive mode, creep on, auto hold brake off and all the different combos.

Hi all,
I’m driving a 2023 XC60 T8 Recharge.
Has anyone experienced the issue of having no heat despite selecting the heater option ‘on’ when driving in Pure mode. I have tried a reset. Software is at 5.0.5 but I don’t have the option to go to 5.1.9. I don’t know how long the issue has been going on because most of winter I ran it in Hybrid mode, so it used engine heat for the cabin.
Could it be as simple as a fuse? While my service is covered under warranty, I’m trying to avoid the hassle of drop off and pickup from the dealer.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Any "secrets" or useful functions I should know about?

I changed my wheels from the stock 19" rims and Pirelli P Zero Elect tires to a set of 18" Peugeot rims with Michelin Primacy 5 (235/55/18) tires a couple of months ago.

I've seen about a 7% improvement in efficiency but the biggest difference is the comfort (same pressure for both setups) and quietness. Admittedly, the latter will likely worsen over time due to heat degradation of the tire compound.

For what it's worth, I used to get tire slip over drain covers when going downhill on the stock Pirellis, but no longer get that with the Michelins.

Can anyone help reset the brakes?

I started repainting the caliper, unplugged, and plugged one sensor when I was taking them off. Now, the car thinks there is an issue with brakes, so it disabled all safety features, together with brake booster.

XC40 P8, 2021.

Went to a official volvo garage and for this “toc” sound while acellerating in transition to reverse and then acelerate again they said I need to replace full eletric motor ? Around 9k Euros , do you think its rational ? Anyone had this kind of issue ?

23' XC40 P8 Ultimate. I love it.

2023MY XC60 Recharge model.

I have currently driven over 120,000 miles, so I am planning to perform an ERAD oil change myself.

Is this the correct part number for the oil?
I’ve heard from some people that the oil required for the 2023MY XC60 is different.
Should I return it?

If anyone has information on this,
I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Additionally, could you please confirm whether the tools I purchased to detach the ERAD are the correct ones?

I’ve never attempted a task like this on my own before,
but I’ve decided to give the replacement a try myself.
I’m feeling a bit nervous!

Thank you.

Total Odometer Reading: 63,859.2 km.

• Total Electric-Only Distance: 4,786.4 km.

• Insight: This suggests that roughly 7.5% of the car's total mileage has been completed on pure electric power. For a plug-in hybrid, this is relatively low, indicating the car has likely been used for many long-distance motorway trips where the petrol engine is dominant.

• Total Fuel Consumed: 5,510.34 Liters.

• Calculation: Over 63,859 km, this averages out to approximately 8.6 L/100km (or ~32.8 MPG). This is typical for a T8 driven primarily on the motorway with limited charging.

Total Electric Energy Discharged: 1,212.9 kWh.

• Total Energy from Recuperation (Braking): 507.52 Liters (Equivalency) / 4,997.8 km.

• Insight: The car has "recovered" nearly 5,000 km worth of travel through regenerative braking over its lifetime.

• Current Battery Energy: 1,280.4 kWh total lifetime energy throughput.

Summary:

Based on the 1,212.9 kWh total throughput against a 63,859 km odometer, this battery has been "under-utilized." In the world of EVs and Hybrids, this generally points to a very high State of Health, likely in the 90% to 95% range, simply because the battery has spent most of its life in a stable state of charge rather than being cycled daily.

And is this informative?
