Hi Blandy

How old is the car now and how old was it when issues arose?

It is important that you have constructive communication with all those concerned.Volvo assist are just the breakdown guys btw and nothing else really.

It may be the case all the issues are now 'considered' fixed and hopefully will not return. They will generally say 'well thats why it has a warranty' as an opening line.

Regards
ps Volvo Assist will generally provide an alternative vehicle in the event of a breakdown.

Car is only now 7 months old head gasket went at about 3 months other problems were at 5 and 7 months.As for volvo assist the guy on the phone was just plain rude even the volvo dealer was going to complain about him.

Owned car for 1yr. now it will be 3yrs. old in March '13, so far problem free except for the fuel filler cover and with Diesel the price it is I really need it to lock.

Cranus Wheel corrosion due to failure to clean before coating

The bonnet open warning light has come on, on my 65k mile 59 reg XC60. It started by setting the alarm off and then progressed into the lights on the dash so I ended up driving down the motorway with the dash going mad telling me the bonnet was up when it clearly wasn't!

Went to the garage, the part is £50, fitting is 1 hours labour at £100!!!

Unfortunately they couldn't do the work as the part is on back order... There must be a few more of you out there who have had a similar problem.

A week with ours and I must admit it has more creaking and squeaking than C3PO , the morning after being left out in the rain. I went round prodding panels and bits and everything had its own noise !! Glad I have premium sound to cancel the racket !! Should really be better than it is.

i've just bought a xc60 r-design which is 2 weeks old and has gone back to the dealers as the entertainment system has packed up. The radio, cd player and aux worked to start with. then it started to cut out. eventually after 12 days of having the car it decided to freeze and work when it wants. The cars been with volvo for 5 days now and they are still having problems fixing it.
