Anyone ever have to replace the thermostat assembly on an 02 S60 T5? Getting code PO128(Coolant temp lower than thermo reg temp) I found out after purchasing a $13 dollar thermo at the local parts store that you have to buy the whole VOLVO thermostat assembly(housing and all) for this car not just t...

remember me? Well I replaced the Neutral safety switch and that seemed to have fixed the problem, I thought!(I thought all along it was starter but local garage said it was neutral safety switch) The other day my wife got stranded in grocery store parking lot and I gave the starter a blow with a ham...
