Thank you again. First, let me say, I'm very impressed with your writing skills. With that and your mechanic skills I'm very lucky to have you both guiding me. Lee, it might take a day or 3, but I'm going to follow your directions re removing the control unit for inspection. I also now know I must h...

Ben, How would I find the particular E-Bay guy you mentioned with the $100 reburbished unit with the 2 year guarantee? I don't want to break Matthew's website rules. I don't know if it's acceptable for you to post that info here

Hi guys, Thanks for getting back to me. I didn't understand most of what you both said. Ben, when you say ECC is that what I think is the Control Module? I always used ECC to mean the entire electronic control system-meaning all of it's parts--sensors, fans, relays etc-- not one major part. Where is...

I finally read the codes according to instructions on this website. Port B-1 reads (after clearing codes, reading codes, driving the car, then re-reading the codes: 418, 419, 126. To remind you, the indy replaced the resistor with one I bought from one of your sponsors. As per his instructions, I us...

Thank you. Blower never made and still does not make squeaking noises or any noises that I can recall. I believe the codes I gave you from the Volvo specialist indy were after he cleared it--but before he installed the new resistor (which I purchased from one of your sponsors)-I'm not positive. He u...

NOW-orange lights flashing. I have no heat or A/C. MONTHS AGO an indy (from a known car accessories/parts chain) installed new heater core. It still leaked. (I thought) He said "leaking" was only residue. (Nothing is leaking now and my carpet is finally dry.) He "tested" his work...

I saved the draft of my post with same subject line and now I don't know how to retrieve it so I can submit. Can someone help me with that? Thank you.

Hi, I don't have a mechanic to recommend, but I can tell you what I did a couple of years ago which worked out well. I happened upon a non-volvo mechanic who specialized in electrical aspects of car repair. He rented a bay from a mechanic/used car lot in Queens, NY. I told him about MVS and the repa...

Hi, Do you have "how to" photo instructions for replacing the heater core? Also, If I wanted to replace all the coolant hoses at the same time, which I believe was recommended by your website on someone else's post, which hoses are they exactly and how many are there? Do you have photo or ...

Hi, Thanks for your input. The plot thickens. I had the camber kit done today. I wanted to skip the other minor adjustment and just pay for the camber kit (front rt. tire) but the mechanic said once they do the camber kit it throws everything else off and I had to do the whole thing. Cost $120.00 It...
