Does Autoglass have the proper equipment to recalibrate the camera and radar placed in the top centre of the windscreen?

Re: Top Mount for front struts

Does this issue affect MY18 to MY20? Starting with MY21, Volvo introduced various changes to the first generation XC40 SPA platform, which may have contributed to or exacerbated suspension related issues, including those involving the top mounts.

Re: Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Issue

Felindre makes a good point, you could put the 4mm tires on the front and the 7mm tires on the back axle. If the tires are all-season with directional tread pattern they have to be removed from the rims and reinstalled properly for the new rotational direction.

Re: Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Issue

Having newer and older tires on opposite sides of the same axle creates uneven grip, which can affect both emergency braking efficiency and overall stability. During hard braking, the side with less grip will trigger ABS intervention earlier than the side with more grip, leading to reduced braking p...
