I’ve got this exact same issue. Any follow up info would be great. Thanks!

I should have come back and posted an update. There were a few unknowns that caused me to ask the dealer to install the replacement parts. There is a spring with a lot of tension that I was not certain I could disengage ...

For a 98- P80, it has been a while, do you not just remove the headlight wiper arms, remove the rivets from the fender liner on the bumper side, and then undo the 2 large bolts (likely rusted) and then pull the whole bumper off?

Like I say, it has been a while...........

Hello. You are ...

About five years ago, I tried to remove my front bumper cover while the bumper was on the car. I found 11 Torx screws along the bottom of the bumper support where tabs of the cover attached. I removed the 4 rivets in each wheel well that attach to the bumper cover, and pried the cover the best I ...

I took the seat out today, to see if the job looks doable as well as see if I could find damage or confirm a loose joint.

It isnt obvious how the mechanism works, but I was able to get about halfway through the R&R procedure before satisfying myself of both objectives. I found looseness at what ...

lrock - Thank you so much for this information! The parts guy at Volvo, who has been there forever, remembered that they did this job about a year ago. He said he had the 019 part on the shelf, but not the 018. He had the same issue with not knowing what "collapsable" and "extendable" meant. Then he ...

Glad I could help a little. At the end of the day the part is designed to fail at a certain force. The seatback literally lies flat in the triggered state. I would (wildly) guess that the part on the loose side has worked its way into this failure posture (no pun intended).

I got a more ...

I'd call the parts department of your dealer and ask which you need. This is a fairly obscure part. I've found just hanging out at the dealer and chit-chatting with Parts can lead to great info on fixes that comes straight from the horse's mouth.

But yea, from what I can tell one is for a ...

Hi -

My 2014 XC70 T6 came used with a defect in the powered driver's seat back I was unaware of. When accelerating, the left side of the seat back will move perhaps 1/8" backwards, due to looseness in what I assumed is a hinge. In searching, I find similar complaints,the WHIPS protection system ...

I spent some time reviewing videos and forums, to find out how to replace the timing belt on my 1998 S70T. Mine has the same tensioner/pulley as the 850s did - this how-to is not for the late '98 through 2000 cars. One of the things I learned is, water pump and tensioner are suggested to replace ...

Neil - I detect a slight pun in your reply - ha ha. Interesting. I would have never thought "hey, I might have a loose plug." On the other hand, logic might say any joint should be considered, and it would be an eligible source.
