Had a software update a couple of days ago. They changed my main speedo from mph to km/h and apparently had to reinstall two software modules, including the 'main' one.

It did the job with the main speedo, but one thing I also noticed is that the ECC now tends to blow air at much higher speeds when set at auto (without the A/C on, just the blower). It is almost constantly at highest speed or just slightly slower, even if the temperature difference is one or two degrees between inside and outside. I tried to set the blower to 'low' in the settings, but the difference is negligible.

I find this somewhat annoying, because of the noise and the fact that I have to adjust blower speed manually - I did not have to do it before the update. When the A/C is on, it works as it used to, adapts quickly and turns the blower down.

Anyone noticed anything similar after software updates?

You can change the standard fan settings to low, medium and high.

Did that, the difference is negligible (as I have already written in the original post).

Ah, my mistake.

Ah not just me then, Had service last week. Same thing has happened. Also latest satnav update has stopped TMC in and around M25

He did mean in the menus that sets the fan speed when in auto mode not just with the knob for manual mode:thumbup:

Sorry if that is what mean also

I had the same, there is a bug in the software update. You have to go back in and they update the car again. Cost me 15 minutes. Now everything is ok again.
(this is in the Netherlands)

Don't you just love Volvo, they claim to be high end but are fur coat no knickers in my opinion

Did another update two days ago. The mechanic claimed I already had the most recent software loaded and that there was little he could do except to reinstall it. He did, and the A/C issue was gone! It's back to normal.

I guess my Volvo's knickers are back on
