Major problems - Help! V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Rick (rickansaldo@yahoo.com) on  Mon Nov 15 10:47 CST 2004 [RELATED]

A couple of things...thermostats should be replaced at about 70,000 mile intervals,,,,whether they seem to be working or not. I don't think that's on Volvos maintenance list. Second...a bit late now, but I would have gone for a junk yard engine.

There is a lot of electronic stuff under the hood...and you cooked this car pretty good. When they get hot, something is seriously wrong...they already run hot.

I think you should get some satisfaction from the dealer who did the $3700 repair.
