|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

Engine repair for the 1996 Volvo FE
For engine work on your 1996 Volvo FE, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
What we arrange
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
What to ask
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Questions first?
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
