Being followed by a small engine plane

It sounds as though I am being followed by a small engine plane. I assume my car's rear wheel bearings are going. If this is the case, how long can it go on like this? How much does this repair typically cost from a private volvo mechanic? We just poured thousands into this darn car and I will not h...

Re: Need help ... RESOLVED (hopefully)

So I brought the wagon back to original dealer today.
It was in fact the ETM again and they replaced it at no charge.

Thanks again.

Re: Need help

So should I go back to the original dealer, pay another 88 for them to just plug it in? In the past I have used another dealer ... would it be better to bring it back to the dealer that actually replaced the module or try the other dealer? If it's the second ETM gone bad (been known to happen), the ...

Re: Bringing XC in for the 1st time ... any "quirks" I ought to

Bringing XC in for the 1st time ... any "quirks" I ought to

I bought a 2001 XC wagon the end of last summer. So far it runs pretty good. The check engine light is on and I will be bringing on Friday. I had a great volvo mechanic for volvos I have had in the past ... unfortunately his shop burnt down last summer and I will be taking the car to a dealer and I ...
