Default Do I need a polestar upgrade.? V60 D4

Going in for my 3 month check and they have offered a polestar upgrade for £540. Is it worth doing or should I be happy as the car is?

Does that price include VAT? Check with your insurance company to see how much your premium will increase by. Then once you have those answers you can make a better judgement as to whether you need/want it.

I'm a fan of stage 1 remapping and would normally say go for it. Not so sure with that D4 engine and its history though. I'd be looking for feedback from other D4 owners who have done it and any increase in EGR and cooler related issues.

Do Volvo still offer the 14 day cooling off period? if yes I would say worth it and you just get it taken off if your not happy.

considering it doesn't affect the warranty at all I would at least try it if its an option, I know they used to offer the 14 day thing not sure if its stopped now

Thanks for the replies. Going this Friday. I have been looking at a few reviews and the majority recommend it. I'm on a 4 year pcp so thinking I may as well get the car driving the best it can. Just a money thing as with everything. A few questions to be asked at the dealers first tho.
