Description of the problem | Following a loud "bang", the engine started making a very loud and suspicious noise. Mooers volvo in richmond, virginia claimed that they "could not recreate the noise" and therefore would not perform any warranty repairs. A local mechanic agreed that the engine was indeed making a very loud noise and found that the pcv vacuum tube assembly was cracked. Further investigation found that a service bulletin (#2-25-0038) had been issued for this problem, but mooers volvo refused to make the repairs under warranty. *jb |
