Hi. I’m trying to find the part of the hood latch which has the spring and screws into the hood. Mine was barely functional and now gets stuck so bad every time no matter what I do. The latch mechanism works fine, the part I need to replace is simply bent and should have been replaced back in the day when the hood got replaced.

Any one got a not-bent spare, know where could find it or just know what the actual part number is? I’ve found it in parts diagrams only to find the actual list just skips it completely with no details. Dug up nothing online so far and my neck of the woods has no good matching parts cars in the local you-pull it type parts.

Hey, so I’m tight on funds and decided to try replacing my cracked radiator myself. Anyway as I’m in the middle of hooking up the new one I noticed this part that’s wrapped up in duck/speed tape.

Should I be concerned about this? I think I may have noticed this years ago before I knew that this kind of tape is pretty combustible/flammable.

I got a hitch installed by the dealer on my XC40 Recharge. Details were a little hard to find beforehand, so I'll share: 2" opening, class II hitch (despite most class II having a 1-1/4" opening), non retractable (though some other Volvo models do have one that retracts), and both a 4-pin and 7-pin wiring connector. Definitely not as slick looking as without the hitch, but looking forward to putting the U in SUV!

This is my company car - the sweet XC40 T4 PHEV Recharge that I receive in May.

She replaced my 2017 V60 D3.

Loving the new model!
