Neil.
+1, let the mobile mechanic breeze through so he knows where to go. These are by far the easiest cores to change on a modern car that I have ever seen. Presented right, the mechanic may appreciate the approach, as he /she will not waste time figuring out where things are. Heck make 'em watch the Robert DIY video, on it (on your dime) I bet It will pay back in the overall job time.

I just sent him this & the link showing the ipd+ guys video. Thanks.

Just to update, core was changes today. All went smooth except there was no signs of seepage. Ended up being $280 with parts.

What brand core did you pick? Think Behr is OE on your volvo.

Fair price , fair result. If it was original you were on borrowed time.

It was original. I was concerned about anyway. Glad it's done.
