Greetings! I hope somebody out there has run into this. My blower motor for the HVAC died and dealer wants over 2K to fix it. Don"t get me wrong-my dealership rocks and I would get s lifetime warranty but I am hoping I can do this one or I can corerce my spouse to do it. is it doable if you are not a mechanic?
Also - any ideas on a good headliner adhesive? I don't want to replace it - it just droops.
Thanks!

the reason it costs $2K to replace the blower is the number of parts in the dash that need to be disassembled to access the motor. Not sure of your husband's skill set - but that's not something to take on without a shop manual even for a skilled mechanic. Sorry to say, that sounds like your choice is the dealer or a factory trained Volvo Indy.
As to the headliner adhesive, I'd stop by a automotive store - particularly one that specializes in paint and body repair parts and see what they recommend, but here's a write up that recommends some well known automotive suppliers

Headliners aren't too bad to replace if you do go that route. I picked up headliner adhesive spray from the parts store and it worked fine. I assume since you don't want to replace it, you wont be taking it out of your car and just stick the nozzle up there and spray around if possible.
I used the 3M brand adhesive on my old 850. Removing the headliner from that car was cake, idk about the C70 though.

So 6 hours @ 150 (900 labor) plus 436 plus tax and extras might cost $1400. There is a special tool shown that Volvo thinks is needed (I've never personally replaced one of those fan motors so I can't say if it's needed or not)
Maybe get a detailed breakdown of exactly what Your dealer is doing for his price. (hours and parts)
"it seems like there is no end to the repairs" - Yep, I can certainly agree -
