I just bought a Bosch VR for my wife's 2001 V70 from autopartswarehouse.com for $57.00 and free shipping. You may want to check them out for yours.

I'll check on both. Thx for your info

I am trying to help my Dad get his "workhorse" daily driver repaired for him. It has left him stranded a few times lately. The car will not fire sometimes when it is very warm outside or after it has been running for a while. In the morning when it is cooler outside the car starts and runs...

This even occurs with the ignition switch off. I tried pulling the fuses in the back panel with no luck. She misplaced the m...
