New cars come with a letter from Volvo Assistance which states:
"Volvo Assistance is a comprehensive, highly competitive breakdown package created to give you peace of mind as you drive and it comes as standard for the first 3 years". It doesn't say anything in the letter about needing it serviced to continue to qualify but I would think that it has to be a pre-condition. |

On a slightly different topic, as usual, after the service the car feels better - smoother and powerful (although this could just be in comparison to the nice little Nissan Micra they loaned me...........).
However, I am convinced the heater fan is now more noisy than it was pre-service. Is that possible/likely or am I imagining it?

Hi, I've got the same problem, but at the moment it is not constantly. Would you know exactly what they actually did to fix it? Did they replace it, and if so, is it the newer version? Many thanks. |

A few moments later - I just had a closer look and there is now some white grease spreading along the inner part. It is also smeared on the outer casing and needs a bit of a clean up. tut tut.

Had the first service today, at 15000 miles, just short of 1 year old. Software updated to cover problem with starter, now works first time, instead of 3rd. or 4th. time. Tested fuel consumption over 20 miles, and they report an average of 44 mpg on motorway and 32 mpg around town - time will tell ? One worry though, they say that the tyres only have 2-3,000 miles left in them - that would be the worst performance from any of my Volvo's , previous Volvo's have returned way over 20,000 miles per tyre. The engine seems more noisy since the service, or am I comparing it unfairly with the new S80 SE D3 DRIVE auto, that they gave me for the day whilst mine was being serviced ?

Sorry to say but that would be inline with what I got from the Pirelli that were fitted. I rotated them at around 15k as the fronts were down, yet rear had lots left and I changed the lot at 22k - and they really needed changing then
