Hi Gents
I'm pretty sure the car was updated before I had it. I'm not convinced the dealer I had it off did anything other than polish it - but that's another story - and they're 250mile away. They were supposed to have serviced it and applied any updates which I specifically asked to be done. Not sure if this happened but when I had the car the oil was at or near the max mark, so even a little bit of diesel going in the sump put the oil level too high and I had the "engine system service required" come up. I did ring Volvo as the light came on, on the last day of the 3 year warrantly, and I was only a few months into the Selekt warranty - the only thing I can say is the help I received was non-existent - very, very poor. The car is lovely though, so thats the main thing - and all is good at the moment - but was very surprised there is a high oil level warning - expected low but not high, and having been a petrol boy all my life, I've never seen rising levels until now - DPFs, what a saga!
