Car Forum / Volvo Cars / September 2005Does a Volvo V70 Tdi reequire specialist servicing?
Does the late 90's volvo v70 Tdi (UK) require specialist servicing (ie Volvo main dealer)or can a decent independent do it? Do independents have the equipment/skills to plug into the engine for diagnostics? Independent volvo specialists seem much rarer for some reason compared to other makes. Having to use volvo main dealers for 5 yr+ car will be expensive as they charge a very high labour rate. How do independent/back street garages cope working on all these different makes of cars with all the different chips and computers inside modern cars these days? > Does the late 90's volvo v70 Tdi (UK) require specialist servicing (ie > Volvo main dealer)or can a decent independent do it?

Unless you have a electronic fault, the garage you use doesnt necessarily need to have the test gear.

The safest bet is to find another volvo owner who can recommend an independent repair shop. Other than that, perhaps one that specializes in foreign cars will do. >> Does the late 90's volvo v70 Tdi (UK) require specialist servicing (ie >> Volvo main dealer)or can a decent independent do it?

There are several specialists in the north west, such as 'Jump leads' independant volvo specialists. These guys are great and cheap :) HAve a look around your area, if in doubt go and ask at the main dealer, tell them your wife has an old 240 or something and do they know of any good independants in your area.

They either buy a unit to do it themselves, or contract it back to the main dealer.  Signaturere-configure the solar matrix in parallel for endothermic propulsion When you need to change cambelts, diesel pump adjustment, injector service, water pump change, exchaust and turbo and electronics you can use Bosch Diesel Centres as most of the fuel system and the related electronics is from Bosch - so they know what they are doing. Drivetrain repairs and body stuff can be made from the garage that your friends also use, this require no special knowledge. > Does the late 90's volvo v70 Tdi (UK) require specialist servicing (ie > Volvo main dealer)or can a decent independent do it?
