I see your location now. You are in another country. I believe the trunk escape feature is only on US cars.

I think that the temperature damper motor on the passenger side has stopped working. Pretty common problem. Sounds like your dealer is blowing freon,oh , I mean smoke at you! Temp on both sides is controlled by 1 damper motor on each side. I wonder at times where these dealerships get their people ...

It does not sound like the throttle body was cleaned. Classic symptom of a dirty throttle body on a non-turbo car.

Play around with the trunk release on the inner trunk lid, the one that you would use to escape from the trunk if you were locked in. They will stick sometimes and the trunk will not latch shut.

There is not a history of turbo failure on this vehicle. In fact, I have only replaced 2 turbos on Volvos in 6 years. They are fine. I do not believe that the return lines are clogged. I have NEVER seen that. Sounds like a line of BS. What color smoke is it? If there is a serious problem going on ...

In answer to both questions. There is a chassis break as regards the illuminated radio controls. The early cars do not. I believe that mid 2000 on is the point at which they were illuminated. You do not have a problem. As regards the glovebox squeak, there is a fix. We would wrap the striker hook on ...

You cannot program a remote without the code that is supplied with each new remote. If you do not have the code and a VIDA, you cannot do it. I work as a Volvo tech and your dealer is not jerking you around.

You still have 4 bolts to remove. Acess the battery area in the trunk. On the back panel, possibly under small foam covers, you will find 4 13mm nuts to remove. you will have to remove the battery to get one I believe. If the rivits are out, just slide it back. One more thing, do not forget to ...
