    I replaced my own battery heater

    Battery heater just went on my 2013 MS (formerly 60kWh, now 75kWh). Going to attempt the surgery in a few weeks. Vehicle does not charge when temperatures are low. Fireman's loop connector is a concern.

Now, both front doors handles do not present and when handles are pulled out manually, neither door can be opened. Have to...

    Vehicle coolant is low—can I replace myself?

    Thanks for posting. My vehicle had the battery changed this past summer and over the past few months have had to add a gallon of coolant. No coolant message had displayed prior to the battery change. Have owned the vehicle since 2013.

    USB Music Needs to Reload Every Time I Get in the Car???

    Ability to upgrade battery capacity later?

    Have an early 2013 S60. Option 2 would be great if upgrading from 60 kWh to 100 kWh was more favorable in terms of cost. On the other hand, a new S would have some of the features not offered/purchased in the vehicle originally (AWD, collision avoidance, blind spot/lane departure warning...
