Default air filter

not very impressed as recently took my 1999 V70 for a major service 240k (24th) and they didn't replace the air filter as they said they couldn't get one locally (main dealer)

They were going to order one from Volvo Sweden and it wouldn't arrive until 23th February

I phoned up another dealer within 30 miles of where I live and the parts guy said it would take him 10 days to get one as they are not readily available considered a "classic" part

In fairness to the dealer who serviced mine they said they would fit it at no charge for my inconvenience once it arrives, but i am not happy they are so hard to get original parts for.....is this going to be an on going concern for any "older" parts...especially as more is likely to have to get replaced as it's getting on.....

yes the old girl does rattle a couple of places, but at 20 years old and now 242k i feel it is just breaking in (still on first clutch too)

I bought a service kit from an eBay seller, who I think is a Volvo dealer, and it all seemed to be in stock. That was last August but they are still listing them.




It's not unknown for dealers to use pattern parts on older models.

Sounds strange to me! If I order an airfilter for my Elks, at my local dealer, he got it on stock, or if not, I get it the next day! But, ok, sorry, living in Bavaria!

Not had any issues myself getting one from Kings Volvo and I have 6 services a year!

I more often than not use MANN filters now, get the entire lot for less than £30 when they have the discounts codes on.
