Hi, guys,

Something weird happened to my 98 VOLVO V70XC AWD 2.4. Since 2 days ago, the drive side door could not be opened outside or inside. But when I turn the key in the key hole on the driver...

Can not agree with you more. I am planning to learn loving and caring my VOLVO for fun and saving money. I really do not like those low mechanics treating my VOLVO careless.

I used them once and felt being robbed and cheated. To be honest, they do not know what is VOLVO and have no any knowledge of turbocharger, let alone other delicate stuffs.

For sure, I can not agree with your more. Maybe I should check junk yard around and do DIY.

Thanks, guys![thumbup]

Thanks for the calculation. I did not realize that it.
