1994 Volvo 850 Gas Door Stolen, pick and pull?

Post by Baptiste1106 »

I purchased my 94' Volvo 850 Turbo and noticed the gas door was missing. Previous owner told me he came out one day and it was gone. The thief obviously is a volvo stealer because it was a clean swipe. My question is why they steal it and where can i get another ?

You need help from someone who lives near the ubiquitous Pick and Pull (PNP). We called them junk yards when I was a kid, but if you google junkyard now, you get images of grass and Chinese ships.

What colour do you need? Maybe post your paint code from under the hood?

I need a headlight wiper arm assembly for a 99 v70 btw, everything held on by the small screw on the wiper arm.

The gas door wasn't stolen, it fell off.

I visit jy all the time. Which arm do you need?

Same for the fuel door. They fall off all the time. Sad thing is that the replacement hinges sold at most suppliers are NOW defective. Push pins do not work.

RHS for my 1999. I need some trim pieces if you think you have a grey interior at the lot. I'm away from the car until tonight though.
