Hi. Both of the keyfobs of my 2012 V40 have been playing up recently, with three or four button presses being needed before the car unlocks/locks. The problem was not improved by changing the fob batteries for new ones. I fitted Energizer batteries with the correct identifier name, which should be a reasonably quality make. A Volvo dealer has told me they have seen keyfob problems when batteries other than “Volvo batteries sold by our parts department” are fitted. The Volvo batteries are £6 each. Can this be true? What are your experiences with “Branded”batteries vs “Volvo” batteries for a keyfob? Thanks.
