It's Volvo policy that dealers update a car to the latest s/w versions on each visit. Sounds like your dealer isn't complying.

I've heard that dealers aren't too keen on doing big updates as it can take up to 2 hours and during this time the car is occupying a service bay that can't be used for anything else. (Updates aren't done over wifi, the car has to be plugged in.)

I had my first service carried out on the 3rd October and was not updated to Sensus 2.

Does this mean you don't have the new Sensus interface? My assumption (and I could be wrong) is that Sensus 2 is being rolled out but minus the checklist.

Sorry, I don't have CarPlay fitted.

Both my XC90s have suffered from water getting into the doors and not draining away until the door is opened. It's a poor design in that the drain holes are effectively blocked by the rubber surround to the door frame until the door opens. As some of my doors can remain shut for days at a time I don't like water sitting there; long term it can't be good. The pic shows water draining from the driver's door of my first car. The current car isn't so bad but it still happens.

It must be happening to others unless I've been really unlucky to have two cars which are both affected.

I didn't specifically ask for the Sensus update, just assuming it would happen.

The 72 minutes may be how long Volvo specify the update to take. But I've heard it often takes longer and that's why dealers don't like doing it.

Can't say I have but I'll listen out and report back.

I've had the PP pipe replaced previously after noticing I could here the pump when the car was started at idle and a hissing sound from the engine compartment after the engine stopped, so not so sure why they did this recall. Perhaps its a replacement part now rather than a repair or replacement of the same part previously.

The new hose is a modified design so your previous replacement may have been with the old part before the modification?

Time for a coffee now after all that!

Not 100% sure.
I got the May update done and this was to update to the new Home Screen interface, etc.
This update was also to fix Sensus crashing.

Early September, Sensus started to crash again and when the car went in for its service on the 3rd October, it was listed as a warranty check.
On getting the car back, the service sheet states: Carried out software update for Sensus fault.

I am happy with things just now, but wondered about the ‘Pilots Check list’, when you mentioned the Sensus 2 update.

That's what I'm thinking.

Wow, that's strange...not seen that with my car.
