I am trying to help my sister in law by fitting a new central locking motor in the tailgate. I have never worked on a Volvo before I cannot see how the back panel comes off. Obviously got the lower panel plastic screws off but failing with the rest - CAN ANYONE HELP ME any attachments of Haynes or etc greatfully received !!

 

Hi there
To remove the tailgate trim to access the motor, open tailgate and there are a number of circular clips - turn trough 90 degrees and they will pop off. Internal tailgate handle, there is a bit of trim which pulls off and there are two screws holding the remaining trim to the actual tailgate. Now Be Carefull and lift the trip upwards towards the roof line in the direction of the glass and you will have the access you need. drop me a line off forum and I will email you the appropriate pages.
Which year is the Wentworth and which engine/ gearbox

 

Many Thanks Wentworth Man. Its an L reg auto 2.0litre ???? I also need a passenger side side light and indicator cluster scrap preferably any contacts who aint gonna rip me off. Last thing will the motor I have just go back into place and work as per the other one or do I have to set it up in any way ??

Hi Rob
Sounds the same as mine btw the Wentworth was only available here in UK as far as I can find out. Elsewise it is similar (note similar!) to the GLE on the US Market.
Re nearside sidelight and indicator cluster, do you mean the rear cluster? If so, expect
to pay about 15-25 at a breakers but they are a frequent replacement item. there are alternatives from German Swedish French http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ (there is one in Walton) and Eurocarparts http://www.eurocarparts.com/ but both these guys are not the quality of the true Volvo bit - but they are cheaper than the dealer. Note a 740 will also fit the 940 and swapping them is very easy.
Re setting up the rear wiper, in theory no, nothing extra to do but plug and pray.
