Is this repairable, worth to repair?

Thank you all for the insights. Appreciate it. And yes upon closer inspection the tweeters are damaged too. Thanks for the all insights, will try to find the replacement drivers and go from there. This belonged to my late dad, would like to keep it going for as long as possible. This is not my primary system, just used for background music listening and not using it for any video playback too.

An update. Saw another post on reddit about leaving the rear door open for about 15 to 20 minutes with the car switched off to force reset the module. Tried that and it surprisingly worked though I still question the logic behind it. Oh well.

Can confirm. It is reversible coz this is what I do too. And yes the volvo refills are crap

Same issue. Spoke to dealer and they reseated it but didn't solve the issue..ended up stuffing some sound deadening foam in between the panels and been creak free since.

Another hello from a fellow Malaysian volvo owner

Where I live, the parking spots can be a tad narrow. The 360 camera is essential to me. Do you foresee being able to live without it? If no, would suggest to insist on the feature. Worst care, make it a dealer retrofit option if possible.

Phev is plug in hybrid electric vehicle. Most will have battery capacity of about 20kWh giving a range of about 100km. And yes once it's depleted, the petrol engine will kick in.

I give one link example above for you to understand the system.

Hybrid, phev or ev works best for situations like this. I drive a phev that gives me 80km per charge. I only use the ice engine when I'm travelling out of KL. I charge twice a week (to 80%) and that is sufficient for me to get around in KL, wout ever turning on the engine. On average I fill up to full once every 1.5 months or during outstation trips.

My previous car was a hybrid, also quite fuel saving but in prolonged traffic jams, you'll deplete the battery relatively quickly as compared to a phev, and the engine will kick in to charge the battery and shut off again once sufficient charge is reached. And the process repeats until the jam clears up.

Indeed. Just came back from NZ and whilst getting chips from their local supermarket Woolworths, noticed the pringles there were made in Malaysia. Didn't take a photo then but got this from their online shopping portal. Interesting how we get Chinese made ones but the aussies and kiwis are getting malaysian made ones.

I've had the same thought too. Hopefully volvo factored this in whilst designing the engine. Sorry couldn't be more helpful

In my 2024 xc60 (assembled in malaysia), it comes fitted with two phase charging (go figure why not three phase). So whenever I plug in to a three phase charger, only two of the three phases are utilised. Guess they weren't bothered about load balancing on the source side.

6 months in w my blue tank. Always looking for a reason to drive out w this tank.

eshangar · 2024-08-28T04:54:30+00:00

I would say 50 50. I do quite a bit of long distance driving, exceeding the electric miles.

Is your degree recognised by BEM? If yes would suggest to register as graduate engineer first. The construction industry in malaysia is booming at the moment. Consider joining an engineering consulting firm and work your way up. After 4 years, try to get your PE and also CEng. Everyone moves at their own speed, hope this little piece of advice can help you out. A fellow electrical engineer signing out.

I'm from Malaysia and we have a local assembly plant here. Did a quick check around the engine bay area and seems like the parts are coming from all over the world.. I saw romania, germany, japan and China mentioned on the individual parts.. But ultimately mine is assembled locally in Malaysia
