I have a 2013 D3 v40. Stop/start kept saying charging and would never work, after leaving the car for stand for a week it wouldn't start so I took the opportunity to replace the battery. 180 amp direct replacement fitted and the stop start worked for a short time.
It has since constantly reported battery charging, even after long motorway drives. I've had all the errors reset, and the alternator tested.
I have seen posts about a sec battery near the bumper, does anyone know about this? or any ideas what might be going on?
The bigger cars do have a second battery but not sure about the V40. Clan probably knows his way around most Volvos but, in general, you are probably better off posting in the v40 section for specific issues with your car or in the General Motoring and Volvo section for more generic stuff.
