Okay PVC job... why? Are you getting the "Emission System Service Required" error? We've had that since forever and have done all but the pcv valve. I reset that before inspection because we could never get to the bottom of it after many $$ spent.
We did change out the alternator even though it tested fine. A nightmare job and it did no good.
My battery dies every night too. That's why I put the trickle charge on it every night. I don't think I let it get down to 0 but I'm sure it did many times. Just bought another new battery too. I think I'm on number 4 now.
You didn't tell me what state/climate you live in. I think that really plays a big part in my problem.
I'm not sure what the difference is in the clamp on induction ampmeter and the meter I used to test but I'll find out. Maybe it's the same thing?? but that's how I knew which fuses were drawing current. The one I used takes two people to do the parasitic draw test.
The weather is getting a bit warmer here so in a few weeks I'll be able to work on it again. I am not in a position right now to be able to pay anyone. I've thrown much too much money into the Volvo dealers only to come up without answers just like you.
battery dies every one to two days
