Just got my 2000 c70 back from the dealer service day before yesterday. I spent $2500 to fix the turbocharger that broke on Saturday and the timing belt that was going to break and ruin my engine if I didn't change it RIGHT NOW! I need my AC compressor replaced but I couldn't afford to, it works but the clutch sticks and blows hot air when i accelerate. Any way, I drove to work twice and on my way home today the car started making the whirring sound again and wouldn't go just like Saturday. I have to have it towed in again, rent a car while they fix it and probably pay more money. Is my car even worth all this? They say I have sludge in my oil and want $1700 to take it apart and fix it. not to mention the $ 1200 they want for a compressor. I feel so damn helpless when I have to deal with these service advisers. I just got the darn car paid for in April and now all this.

 

You seriously need to find another place for service work. 2500$ is pretty pricey for the replacement of those 2 items.

 

Find a Volvo specialist (Not a Dealer) and have them look at it.

 

............and the sooner the better! It sounds like your dealer is sending his children to college..............on your dime! TECH is an independent service technitian and if he feels you are being taken for granted.............then you are.

i agree, but i would buy some snap-on tools, do some research, find a u-pull-n-pay and DIY! i bet you'll have alot of bread left to send you own kids to college

i hate going to the dealer for anything unless it's parts.

 

+1....STOP going to the dealer. That 2500 bucks paid for the fancy waiting room at the dealer. Def. find someone who is independent and works on Volvo. You will pay a fraction of money or do it your self! Also use this website for parts! http://www.fcpgroton.com/
