Audifans,
My son, at school in Fairfax VA (outside DC, near Dulles), is having
trouble with his '99 Volvo V70 wagon. It started vibrating, not through
the steering. He took it to a Volvo stealership, who quoted $2400 to fix
it -- all the spark plugs, all the coil packs, the engine mounts, pvc
valve, and some other stuff.
My guess is it's just one spark plug or coil pack. I told him to find
a FLAPS and have them run an OBD-II check on it to pinpoint the cause.
Since he's at school with no tools and hasn't done mechanical things,
even changing a spark plug would be a challenge.
Can anyone recommend an independent Volvo specialist in the area?
Or even a trustworthy generic auto service place?
Thanks in advance.
