Not very clear and not really fair. Some may suggest a bit misleading?

Maybe sawyer should write back and quote this . although the letter from the dealer's point of view is very honest and frank . it is volvos issue not the dealers who will have to pay for over an hours labour .( the time it takes to do a small service )

Great, I wish I had read this thread again before my car went in for service!

I first read it back in July and was looking forward to the new service to fix a fault where by my iPhone can not play music for more than about 30 seconds when connected to the Bluetooth phone system and also the new Trip Stats

I switch on the car this AM and lo and behold, no Trip Stats so I assume I'm still on the older version!

This is hugely annoying and Im obviously gonna have to call them up as Im not waiting another whole year!!!

I just had the XC60 in for its first service, the receptionist said that the software will be updated if its required, I said I had sensus V3 and she said they will check it while doing the work. When I collected the car I noticed the mirrors were out though the car was locked so I knew it had been changed.

I also noticed that the seat belt alarm was now much quieter and not so instant. The problem is, I'm sure my MPG has dropped quite a lot, could that be possible. I won't be able to tell for sure till I fill it up again and get it out for a proper run.

The usual experience post first service seems to be that the mpg has dropped slightly (not "quite a lot"), perhaps around 2 to 3 mpg. It is presumably something to do with a "running-in" as opposed to a "normal" configuration, but I don't know. MPG should then gradually pick up again as the car gains more mileage up to around 10,000 miles.

Mine dropped by the usual 2 - 3 mpg after the first service, problem is that after 40,000 miles it still hasn't 'loosened up' and given me back the figure that I had when the car was new

Bob.
Sounds like your "upgrade" has put settings back to default - so check in "My Car" settings that the UOM's are correct & it is not recording USA gallons rather than Imperial gallons which will be reflected in an overnight increase in mpg...........

Good idea Simon, I checked and it was still at Imp Gal, the car is doing much better already returning 45 on a country road trip and 39 in the city so its sorting its self out already.

Thanks for the help
