Are you talking about the XC60? That hasn't had a facelift yet..

The old version had the small DRLs either side of the grill.

The new one has wider headlights.

33mpg? Eek.

Yep.

A 4WD 2.2 RAV4 showed me 42mpg on a test drive so I wasn't too impressed with this

Ah. My bad. I usually keep up to date with Volvos as my best mate is the equivalent of BossFox keeping Preston motors in business. He keeps the local Volvo dealer in business lol.

What are you expecting, realistically, from the CX5?

People seem to be getting high 40s from them from what I've read.

It lives up to the hype then.

'Component protection enabled' after Columbus MIB2 firmware update

Dave77 · 12 July, 20232 yr

Hi all, I've just updated my MIB2 Columbus from MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3330 to MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343. The installation completed okay and shows the new version installed but it seems to have enabled component protection. Now the unit has had component protection disabled and SmartLink (AA) enabled before, my car is a 2014 Octavia so originally had a MIB1 in it. Would a firmware update have reset those?

Removing the glove compartment

AMartinD · 31 August, 20169 yr

Hi folks, me again... Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the hinged moving section of the glove compartment from its outer enclosure without having to remove the entire glove compartment assembly from the dash? Something has 'escaped' over the back of the glove compartment and is trapped between the movable section and the outer enclosure with the result that it's preventing the glove compartment from opening fully, so I want to extricate the offending object before anything get

Spurious Emergency Stops

iamdrew · 4 February4 Feb

I owned a 2017 Superb Mk III and recently swapped to a Mk IV and love the car apart from one very dangerous fault. Occasionally, the car decides I’m about to hit something and slams on the brakes - so hard, that you think you have hit something! It has happened several times whilst manoeuvering at low speed in reverse which is somewhat disquieting. But it has also recently done it whilst driving forwards - in no way on any occasion was there a risk of collision with either stationary or mobile

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts c

DMF concerns

Lare111 · 6 June6 Jun

Two months ago I bought a MY2023 Skoda Octavia with 2.0 TDI engine and 6 speed manual transmission. It now has 184000 kilometers in it. To my knowledge, DMF and clutch are still original. There is no knocking or tapping sound coming from the DMF when the engine is cold. There are also no vibrations even when driving at too low RPMs. Gears change very smooth and clutch doesn't feel worn at all. There is, however, a clunking noise if I turn the engine without pressing the clutch. Can this solely
