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

Towing for the 1996 Volvo FE
For a tow on the 1996 Volvo FE, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
About your FE
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the FE. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
The steps
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. 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.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
What to ask
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Between shop visits
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Make a request
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request towing
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
