• Private terrifies me.

    Had I just bought my car privately I’d be very very very unhappy. 18 days into ownership - I’ve been without it for 2 weeks, with another week predicted.

  • Only one damper? Dampers are supposed to be changed in pairs. I'd also make sure that they didn't go for the cheapest repair then say it is something you did

  • @TRA would you believe it was sourced and not traded?! Baffling.

    Yes, one only. They’re technically fully re-buildable. I did query it, and have since checked the VIDA system they use, and with a Volvo master tech that I know, it’s suggested as OK. Without Volvos tech manual saying so they ultimately won’t do anything more than they have to.
    I guess knowing the parts are coming from Sweden and the dealership can only use genuine parts gives some comfort - they have already replaced the top mount as part of investigation so the parts gun has been loaded.
