Last week they finally gave me a check for $2600, and I had to haggle with them and produce receipts and it took forever to get them up from $1700. Everytime I talked to them they were like "oh, I didn't notice the leather seats" and "you had a glass moon roof?" I had to have the...

I think its a vacuum leak too. I had that and it was the plastic hose / tube between the air cleaner and engine. Easy to fix yourself if you buy the part. There were multiple cracks way down under it where you can't see them.

good luck

Yeah, sadly, that's what I figured. I will see what I can do with all the bills and all, but I guess I'll be getting out of owning Volvo's for a while
I'll post what I find out to help other's, won't find out till sometime tomorrow or the next day

I was rear ended at a yield sign, and the other driver has insurance, but everytime someone hits one of my used cars, I end up loosing out when they total it, because the value or whatever is low due to age and miles on an otherwise great car. I have put a lot of money in this car over the years, mo...

yeah, I've frozen a few beers by accident. Put a couple of bottles of Lone Star (the national beer of Texas) in the freezer, was already drunk, and forgot they were up there for a few days as I went back to the fridge instead to get those beers, totally forgetting until a few days later I found a cr...

I would also check the hose between the air cleaner and the throttle body. I had a similar problem and there was a crumbled hole in an out of sight part of that hose. I drive a standard and sometimes coming off the highway it would die on a feeder road when the clutch was put in. It wasn't getting t...

I am having similar problems, as I have posted on here before. It is very baffling. I have gone over most everything myself as well. I have topped it up , cleaned out temp sensors, last year replaced the entire ****** compressor for around $1000, and here a similar problem is back. When I save up so...

*update - more problems* It works for a while (~15 minutes) then stops. If I turn it off, after several minutes I can turn the Ac back on and it will work again for a few minutes. My question - could it be water freezing in the system and then melting, or the expansion valve . I have read of this in...

I had the same problem, and after seeing the hint on volvospeed, and it didn't quite do what I wanted I got a little ticked off, accepted that I would have to buy a new arm, took the non working one off and crammed it in between the gap of the tailgate of an inlaw's truck and bent that sucker in tin...

*results from today's testing* Ok, now: 1. The temp sensors all work (supposedly) and are throwing no codes. 2. I put in as much coolant as it will take. 3. I jumpered the compressor and could hear it click and engage, and my wife could feel ice cold air come out. Here is where the problem arises. N...
