I found a pile of grease on a "air guide" I believe. I didn't notice it there, before the turbo was replaced. It's near the RF CV Axle! Can anyone please tell me if this is normal or should I take it to the dealer? Thanks!!!!

 

That would be the inner C/V boot starting to leak.
I would get it fixed ASAP.

 

Thanks tech!! I've been trying to get a appoinment with the dealer but ilve be busy with school!! I hope they dont scratch my wheels again, I believe they use a regular impact socket to take the lug nuts out instead of chrome. btw do you work on one brand of cars??

this is what i will ask them to replace:

1. rubber hood weatherstripping
2. rear hatch seal
3. leak at RF CV Boot
4. trim deformation at LF near headlight

 

Sounds good.

For a living yes I only work on Volvo's.

But for family and friends I work on everything.

 

That's great!! I am also done with mechanic school and trying to find a shop to work. I'm thinking about asking if the pervious volvo shop i work at will hire me again as long term. I before want to work for BMW after grad. But they need top grades, master ASE, etc. How does Volvo work for trainee?

 

They wil hire you and put you through the Volvo training and you will have to get the ASE's your self.

 

Mckevitt Volvo dealer replaced the right seal, bellows, and RF inner and outer CV Boots.
(i believe they replaced both sides i think, tech shouldnt they?)

Rear Hatch seal on special order, part coming on tuesday

trims under hood stated to be normal

deformation near headlamp stated to be normal by service advisor


2002 XC70 warranty ends 1/29/2006, anything else i should look for to repair before it ends????

 

Also asked the service advisor if they are hiring, he said nope.. and might lay off a few due to slow of business and told me to ask for their other location. *ahh sucks*

the new volvo hands free with bluetooth is to be costed at 600 with labor
and the one without bluetooth cost 2,000 labor not included

 

Glad they are fixing it.
Yes they should have replaced both C/V boots.

Be real picky trying to find things before the warranty runs out.
The dealer can't find things wrong and fix them. The cust has to complain.
