Volvo dealership - utterly unhelpful (any workshop that looks as clean should be a major warning/mechanics with clean fingernails are NOT mechanics). They sold me 4 yellow O rings (pictured above) - $41. If that isn't a reason to avoid Volvo spare parts, I don't know what is. Even they couldn't beli...

Merde, merde, merde.

Thanks guys. Not what I wanted to hear.

I would assume that it's a matter of changing the connector hoses, surely? I'll get it to the Volvo dealership and have my wallet nicely reamed.

Hey there, I just changed the radiator over on my V70 2001 24T, using an off-market AutoKool radiator . The radiator is installed - however, the auto transmission lines male connectors are too big for the built in female connections on the new radiator. Distributor has tried to help - saying that th...

I agree - I originally suggested that a dealer undertake the repairs, but they actually said that they'd end up finding too many things wrong and charging them through the roof - which begs the question.

I'll let you know how I go.

I just read the reset instructions for the CEL https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/reset. ... lly%20now.

An update - I got the car back after the warranty 'repairs' - nothing fixed and engine light still on. I was told that a gearbox mount had to be replaced (they didn't update the software, BTW) - but there's still a pause and clunk (as bad, if not worse, than before). The Emissions Service light is s...

Just my luck - I wish I could just swap the lens - as that's the only bit that's cracked on the already mounted one.

Anyway - I'll update should I figure it out (if I don't manage to break the older one)

thanks.

Great advice - thanks.. I noticed there's an additional fastening point at the very top of the reflector, which is actually busted on the replacement part (I assume the dismantler wasn't aware that it existed either) - fairly mickey mouse pice of plastic with a hole through it. Here's an image of it...

I just bought a second hand blinker lens assembly (rop rear left) - old one was cracked when I bought the car. Am I going to have to remove the cabin trim to access all the nuts to remove and replace? Or is it just a matter of following the same procedure for replacing bulbs (accessing the bolts thr...

All good info..

The gearbox is pretty smooth despite this issue - unless the tranny craps out in next 2 months it will be my problem - I'll mention the software.

After blow makes sense - the aircon was on prior.

There are a million and one things to flatten the battery, it seems.
