New member with MY22 V60 T8 Polestar

[Brett74]

Hi All

Just wanted to introduce myself. Recently traded my Seat Leon Cupra ST for a V60 T8 and really enjoying it so far. Couple of early issues with a faulty high voltage heater and door handle light but both changed under warranty by Volvo Exeter.

Any other issues I should keep my eyes open for?

Cheers
Brett

Welcome. We are generally a helpful friendly bunch here.

Will let others with V60s comment on any known issues.

Car sounds lovely! Out of interest, how are the polestar wheels fairing up in terms of diamond cut and is there any worming or lacquer marks on them?

Wheels still look like new. Only had 10,000 on the clock so hadn't been driven too much by the previous owner.

Hopefully the picture has been uploaded. Would have preferred it in grey but so few available I just bit the bullet.

They are rare beasts, especially as the 455bhp extended range configuration!!

I was lucky enough to get one of the very last factory build slots for an XC60 PE in Thuder grey before Volvo stopped selling the PE's in the UK.

Enjoy!!

Excellent, you will find it totally different to the build quality of what you have just stepped out of, the diamond cut wheels on my 4 year old non PE S60 are still like new also, if it were a VW they would be corroding !

If you were a tinkerer with vcds etc, you just need to put all that behind you now and just enjoy a car that's high spec to begin with 😁

I would have liked ACC and heads up display but understand there wasn't any chance to spec these options when new any way.

It was the V60 or a 340d MHT. Think I went for the right car!
