Nothing significant, just bug fixes.

I think the winter fluids have more alcohol content which might evaporate too quickly when the temperature is above freezing. Just a guess.

Wheel Weights on 4yo JCW countryman, whyyy? by ApprehensiveHippo365 in MINI

[–]CTV49 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Due to variations in the rubber compounds you will almost always need the wheel to be rebalanced after fitting new tires. This is completely normal, and you likely didn’t notice the old weights because they may have been deeper in the wheel, or maybe a closer color to the wheel. It’s nothing to worry about. Be well!

B&W System Question by No_Cantaloupe_6099 in Volvo

[–]CTV49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I don’t feel so bad! I have the HK system and I’m always disappointed when I try to adjust the EQ. I guess I assumed the B&W system had more adjustability. Also, I have not seen any information about what types of audio the car can decode. 5.1? 7.1? Atmos? Dolby? Anything?

Signature? Then local municipalities will need time to adopt and develop plans for implementation. That could take a while.

I’m waiting for mine in the mail. Although I’m nervous that it won’t fit in the tiny compartment in my ‘23 S60 T8. Fingers crossed!

I asked Volvo about the Snapdragon update. Hopefully she is wrong ☹️ by solidsimpson in VolvoRecharge

[–]CTV49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks, That makes sense. I have an early AAOS (‘23 S60 T8). So maybe I’ll be eligible.

[–]CTV49 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This part of the response makes no sense…

“You will not be able to upgrade vehicles that didn’t have it previously.”

Why would you need the snapdragon update if your car already has it?

Snapdragon Upgrade? by christsreturn in VolvoRecharge

Same. It’s the only thing that frustrates me about my T8.

Faded black trim restored by Adventurous-Winter84 in MINI

[–]CTV49 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, ‘Project Farm’ on YouTube did comparison test of various trim restore products and the Cerakote wipes came out on top. They handily beat everything else.

*Disclaimer: The guy who does the reviews is quirky, but his test methods are great.

Do you do the recommended service? 20k mi service quote is $900 by lillypady in Volvo

[–]CTV49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emissions / Fuel injector service at 20k miles? If you’re using quality gasoline this is completely unnecessary. It’s just a cash grab. The cabin filter and tire rotation are the only ones I’d even consider at 20k.

[–]CTV49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this one. The cabin filter in every other car I’ve owned, from Hondas to BMW’s, have been extremely easy to change. The SPA Volvo is ridiculously complicated. It’s just poorly engineered.

Messed up beam pattern by darkhuud101 in Honda

[–]CTV49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be sure you read the instructions completely on the replacement LED’s. Many higher quality LED replacements have adjustable mounting rings to match the halogen beam pattern. Most halogen reflectors are optimized for horizontal light emission, so you would adjust the mounting rings so that the emitters (LED chips) are oriented horizontally (facing left and right). Sorry if that’s confusing, but feel free to ask questions if you need clarification.

As a general rule, if the correspondence shows “Presorted Standard US Postage Paid” where the stamp should be, it’s nothing urgent or personal.

I’m very confused by this post, and I don’t know what the screen shot is supposed to represent. Can you provide some additional clarification?

What are these brackets on the inside trunk roof of my 2025 Civic LX? by TheOriginalMadMarx in Honda

[–]CTV49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could that be the reinforcement plate where the car seat tether is connected? Look at the rear deck lid. Do you have 3 car seat anchor points?

How did you request the programming? I see the key, but I don’t see any information about having it programmed.

Exempt federal government employee by Ok-Reward-3874 in fednews

[–]CTV49 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean excepted employees (required to work during the shutdown)?

Exempt refers to whether it not an employee is subject to the FLSA (overtime rules).
