|---|---|---|---|
| 98V255000 | 1998-10-14 | suspension:front:springs:air suspension:lines and fittings | VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS 8 HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL VALVE SUPPLY LINE WAS NOT PLUMBED THROUGH AN AIR PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE.

| 96V095000 | 1996-03-23 | service brakes, air | THE TRACTION SOLENOID EXHAUST CAN BE OBSTRUCTED DUE TO INADEQUATE DRAINAGE AND A BUILD-UP OF ROAD CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND THE SOLENOID HOUSING. THE OBSTRUCTED EXHAUST PREVENTS THE RELAY VALVE CONTROL AIR PRESSURE FROM VENTING AFTER A DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING TRACTION EVENT. |

The 1996 Volvo FE: Battery boost
Your 1996 Volvo FE needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the FE. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your FE, have it ready for the shop.
What CarmaCars does here
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
A short checklist
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Make a request
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
