All,
Just for info.
I have just had the Swirl valves changed on my 55' S60.

I have had a good read on the forums of people being surprised by the prices quoted to do the change out from both dealers and independants.
I have to say... IT WILL COST!!!
Dont take the cheapest option, find out what work they will do EXACTLY!

So far for me,
Swirl valve assembly £81 (cost)
2 hours labour £100

£181 is cheap i hear you cry.

Cost of the seals going on the injectors and spraying diesel around my engine bay because the mechanic thought he could save me some money....

The car is back in the garage (1 week ago) waiting on new single use fuel pipes (6 off), single use injector seals and specialist volvo tools.

I have yet to hear the price for these parts, but rest assured, I will not be paying the labour since it should have been done in the first place.

Also, If anyone needs the plastic arm, I have one spare now. PM me. (it was one clip on the cup that gave up)
