In slow moving traffic, I've started to notice annoying noises, mainly because the autostop kicks in so the engine goes silent. Didn't take me long to work out that it is the fuel in the tank sloshing about. I know people have had this as an issue before, but was hoping the 16.5 MY wouldn't have this issue.

It sounds like a buoy splashing around in a marina after a big boat has gone past, now I've heard it it is becoming really annoying.

To what degree is this "normal", are others finding the same?

The problem has existed since MY14 when the new shape came out. They didn't fix it until MY16 so why would they change for MY16.5? LR simply hopes you don't notice it. When you do notice and complain, you're just expected to take it to the dealer for the update that should really have been part of the factory build by now  Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Thanks. Have you had this done? Any idea how much time/work is involved?

Yes, had this done. Improved a lot but I can still hear it when everything else is really quiet. Not loud enough anymore to warrant raising it again with them. A couple of other things needed to be investigated also so my car stayed at the garage for 2/3 days and I don't know exactly how long they spent on the fuel tank. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Yes had this done on mine only had the car for 1 day however make sure car is empty of fuel as they drained the tank and I had to paid for refill

I got mine back with the same amount of fuel as it went in with. Either they didn't need to drain the fuel or they filled it back in my case. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I get the tank slosh when the tank is about a third full but only notice it when reversing into the garage. As I live in a remote area I keep the tank fairly full so its not really a problem to me. Also I don't want the 250 mile round trip to the dealer only to have them screw it up.

Still does not alter the fact that it should not happen on a vehicles costing £70k+
