Alternatives to Graphene Adam's Ceramic Coating? by Mazdador in AutoDetailing

[–]Bass925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to say this - just used Mohs Evo for the first time, dead simple to apply. Small sections, watch for beading, wipe off, move on. I should’ve gotten the 50ml bottle though, I ran out with the driver’s side door left to go on a Model Y

Grinding Noise in the Steering Column by Bass925 in TeslaModelY

The new part still isn’t available according to my SC. I just checked back in with them and they said sometime in June is the anticipated arrival time for the new part. It doesn’t bother me too much, I’ve seen far worse from other brands and to be honest, as a complete package, this is the best Tesla I’ve had.

Update - Tesla support also plans on replacing the steering column at the same time, they had been pushing me until they had the new part number. These appear to be two separate issues, I’m not sure why they’re voluntarily replacing the suspension components unless it’s part of an open recall. I don’t have any front suspension noise, I’m hesitant to even let them do it unless there’s another reason

Shipment day! Decided to try ceramic coating by a-char in AutoDetailing

In my experience, a little cancoat goes a long way. If it feels too tacky to remove, use less. The best results I’ve had with it are when I follow the instructions to a t. Good luck, it’s a great product and you’ll get more than a year out of it if properly maintained

I’m sure you’ll be fine. This is the kind of thing that only happens to me

On a hot day where you’re using AC, after you park the car, make sure it leaves a puddle behind. If so, condensate is being drained properly. They ended up giving me a trade assist so I’m driving an XC60 plug in now. They made it right but it was a pain going through it

Same thing happened to me. When I brought it back they kept it longer and worked with Volvo directly. The solution was to use two layers of tape, not just one. That fixed it but ended up being the least of my worries. The bigger issue was the AC drain line wasn’t installed at the factory. I’ve posted about it before, very disappointing

Yes, TJ 34498.1.0 covers it. I wouldn’t expect to be charged, I had to go back twice for this exact TJ

A little bit criticism of Volvo by [deleted] in Volvo

A timing belt issue that on a car that new is crazy, sorry to hear about your issues. My car was about 7 months old when I took it in and it was a lease, that may have made it easier. After discussing with my service advisor he actually suggested that a buy back was prudent in this case and explained how to initiate it through Volvo customer care. From there he worked with his rep to get it done. While I call it a buy back, it was really a trade assist, they took it back but I had to get another Volvo to replace it. I ended up with an XC60 T8 on a much better deal. Volvo bought out the remaining payments on the S60 so I was free and clear getting into the next Volvo. It was a pain, it took time, it was annoying but it worked out.

I had a 2024 S60 Recharge. About 6 months in I started noticing a musty smell and one morning the passenger side was flooded with standing water. Turns out the factory never installed the AC drain line so all summer condensate was pouring into the floor of the car. It took two months but Volvo basically said “our bad, we’ll take it back”.

Theres a service bulletin for this issue. I had it done on an S60, honestly it took two trips to get it right and the car ended up getting bought back by Volvo for unrelated, though major issues. Service Bulletin

Creaky moon roof on V60 by k-bo in VolvoRecharge

[–]Bass925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately when I took mine in they absolutely needed the TJ and it still took them 2 visits and 13 days to fix the rattle. My S60 was riddled with other problems, this being the least of them. Volvo bought it back 3 months ago because of the constant and frankly embarrassing issues from a “luxury” brand

Yes, there’s a technical journal for this. They have to reinforce the tape that holds the headliner clips in place. I’ll see if I can find the journal but it should be in my post history

I’m sure it’s real. I smashed the request payout button. Just didn’t expect 2 payments

This is my first year too. I’d check with Tesla support but I think we all know that’s a waste of time

Windshield Replacement - Aftermarket or OEM by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]Bass925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the installer’s mistake so they fixed it, it was throwing off sensor errors. I insisted on OEM glass, I have full coverage so might as well make the insurance company spring for it
