8cushion quote me $1500 for full car.

with 2 years left on the road, i didn't want to spend such $$.

recently the door panel one came off and I paid $20 to have it back in its original location(stick)

You may wanna consider JB but a bit troublesome.

That is quite a lot of problems on a car. The old series 5 cylinder engines are well built, maybe the newer 4 cylinder engines are not sorted out yet. Best just to change engine oil and filter only, try not to touch other things unless mandatory replacement. I have never replaced the atf. Recently I kay kiang replaced my 5 spark plugs ended up damaging 2 coils.....

 

Normal servicing, belt, brake pads replacement, normal workshops can do. You may want to spend 20 dollars and get yourself one of those OBD2 diagnostic tools. Volvo parts can be purchased online or from unico motor in sin ming.

but spark plugs will need to be replaced at some point. was it because WS din do a good job hence the coils damage?

[Accordvtec]

I think the lifespan for the coils is about 100k-150k, another 2 were replaced 1plus year ago. Unplugging/plugging just expedited the failure.... so I cannot blame the WS (Autobaccs)
