Due to the hateful and caustic nature of the participants on this board, I no longer provide advice.

I was a dealer for 20 years and serviced thousands of these vehicles and know their issues and ease of repairs. However, the forum is full of people who know everything, so I bid you best of luck.

I sold the dealership and now reside in Sunny Florida - best wishes in your pursuits.

 

Please don't leave. We need experienced advice. Hateful comments should be removed. I value this forum and have learned so much. I make a few comments from my experiences. I never presume I am a professional. I am sorry you have had bad experiences here. I have three Volvos and look to this forum on how they should be fixed and ,maintained. Thanks.
