SO I had the codes revealed on our V70 thru a retired mechanic I know it showed a few, but mainly that my throttle body was stuck open. I did not have the time to work on it, I would of cleaned it, instead I brought to a local shop with a retired volvo mechanic . He stated he has had more trouble with cleaning TBs than replacements so I agreed to replace the TB. I found a bosch online for $324 and volvo wanted 525+. When the shop called me back they told me the had to charge over 100 to test codes thru volvo cloud. And to boot He would have to charge another $125 for profit that he lost on me supplying my own part.
I am a little more upset on the fact that he also claimed that since I was a first time customer, Which we were not! we had them flush out our transmission fluid a few years earlier.
Just venting and most likely wont be going back there in the near future.!
Any helpful advise in debating this when I pay the bill would be grateful.
