After a very discouraging trip to a local PNP, I resorted to phone ordering a couple of parts from our local Volvo dealer. The first order was for a gasket for the oil fill cap (P/N 940096). Not in stock, but ordered, and arrived within 2 business days as promised. Less than $5!
Later, ordered the tool kit holder clip (in stock) for the wagon, P/N 1224832-4 ($0.50) and the clamp for the console armrest (not in stock) P/N 6847246-3 ($1.12). Again, arrived as promised. $1.72 is a cheap fix for two annoying rattles.
Thanks to the BB for the part number on the tool kit clamp. Maybe the other numbers will help someone else.
Anyway, I can't call my local dealer anything but courteous and cooperative.
OTOH, my son just bought an '89 Mercedes 190...the local dealership would only quote a price to order a speedometer cable, wanted payment in advance, and would NOT give him the part number, "as a matter of company policy." He found the correct part at a local import car parts store for half the dealership price!
Once again, YMMV, I guess.
