LEAVE SCAN TECH ALONE!

Buy the Volvo ones or something other than SCAN TECH.

I'm sorry to hear that, that is a very poor customer service. I've been happy with FCP Groton but have only contacted them over the phone. Customer service has gone south in many industries & many parts of the world. They often act as if they are the customers[8D].

As an alternative, try eEuroparts:

I wish you the best of luck. Again, I would stick to OEM as much as possible.
