Just a quick update. Volvo Waterford offered to pay half the cost or parts, labour and vat. I still have to pay €430. I rang Volvo in Dublin and complained that in my opinion it is unreasonable for a part costing almost €1000 to fail in a car 5 years old. Am I expecting too much from Volvo? She recognised there was a problem with brake control modules on alot of the cars.
She asked me to send her any invoices I had relating to services and repairs to the car to assess my loyalty to the brand. Obviously I have all of those!!!
That's it for now.
This happened to me also. I thought service meant a regular service so I did nothing about it until car was due a service over 3 months later. The garage told me that if the car was 60 months or under Volvo would cover the whole cost, but if it was 61-80 mths old I would have to pay half. Car was 62mths old at this point. The garage were doing what they were directed so I got onto Volvo Ireland. She said if I showed a volvo service history she would do something for me. They ended up paying for the part and we halved the labour cost. The part was the big cost. I end up having to put about 120€ toward it. My car was also bought in UK.
