Re: Engine warning to Hot..

Was it a Volvo dealer that checked it over? If you set the control to "low" it should blow very cold air at high fan speed. Definately not normal being told to turn off the engine?? I bought a fairly cheap scan tool so I could keep an eye on more things on the car, like coolant and oil te...

Rear compartment lights

I know it’s been covered many times just catch up on a few jobs on the car. I find it unbelievable that Volvo can scrimp on things like rear passenger lights. I found these on AliExpress for the grand sum of less than a £1. They last up to 2 1/2 hrs on full charge held in place by a magnet so easily...

Re: seat changeability

Have to say its a no brainer I just looked at the advert £374 for the lot is a cracking price.. It should be a simple job replace the bits over from your seats and its plug and play... Good luck cannot see there being a problem..

The fog light unit is in place with a dummy socket in place with the bulb wire plug in to that. Just reprove the dummy plug and pop a new bulb ...

Twin rear fog lights

It’s been covered before so looked into switching on both rear fog lights, the main reason is we spend a lot of time in Europe.So having the rear fog light only on the right was not the best option. Having looked on the net came across a VW part that’s the same as the fog light bulb plug for very li...
