could be worse! edit - just thought of it, imagine they implemented something similar to inkjet printers where when new ink cartrige has chip that tells printer "hey, im new" and only works after pairing? Volvo could have implemented this idea in their "Volvo Genuine Windscreen washer fluid p/n 123 456 666, available at your local dealer for only 9.99 per liter " THAT would be an idea for future Volvos!!!!!

Then there’s that yellow light, looks like a petrol pump... means “Fuel system low”: drive immediately to your Volvo dealer where a Volvo trained and certified technician can install a new genuine Volvo fuel system full of Volvo approved fuel.

Hence my suggestion of just getting a car with it all there to start with.

Hi!
Did you manage to install self-dimming mirror? |

I haven't fitted the rain sensor but I did retro fit the automatic rearview mirror no bother in my 55 plate V50 1.8. The cables are already there and are hiding under the headlining neatly tucked away at the area of the roof control and requires no programming, as it's basically just plug and play. There's two set of cables, a black pair and a grey pair. If I remember correctly, the cables are keyed so the one for the mirror fits the mirror. The grey cable is most likely for the rain sensor. However, as the rain sensor cars has a bigger blacked out area on the windscreen itself, compared to non rain sensor cars, you also have to fit a new windscreen to accommodate the rain sensor. I got a rearview mirror from eBay a couple of years ago for about £25 and it works brilliantly. The only thing is that some LED cars headlights are quite bright even when the mirror is fly dimmed so I might get some light green solar film which will make it darker at night like the old 240 cars used to have. Hope that helped. Last edited by PeteTheSwede; May 14th, 2022 at 19:30. |
