AWD Has Been Disabled -Service Required

[80sman]

Had this fault for the second time yesterday, it's back at the dealers. They have told me that it's the differential electronic module that's failed.

Changed under warranty, it's a my10 xc60 d5 with 20k miles.

That's after many many dstc faults. The car is back at the dealers for the 6th time in less than 3 months.

Hi 80sman,

Can you confirm if the DTSC error clears when you remove the key and then come back and restart the car?

For a vehicle which has done 22086 miles and is three years old, I'm not impressed, anyway the pleasure it gives me on the weekend just about makes up for it.

Now onto finding a decent (if exists) extended warranty plan before the Volvo warranty ends in a couple of weeks - any recent suggestions? - looked at Warranty Direct, Warranty wise, Volvo obviously say Volvo, any recommendations greatly appreciated..........

What was the reason/excuse for not being covered under the warranty?

Edit...Oops sorry i didn't read the thread right through (smacks hand)

Yeah, the dstc service required cleared every time the car was restarted. The awd disabled stayed.
