Welcome

Welcome to the forum

.

You may not want to cheap out on Volvo parts. If you plan to keep your Volvo for a while, it pays to spend extra to go with OEM parts. We here often buy parts from FCP Groton or eEuroparts, and other shops. They sell OEM parts for about 20-30% less than what the dealers would charge.

Make sure to follow scheduled maintenance.

Good luck,

JPN
