dmelviØØ7 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have never seen a starter go out on a newer Volvo (93+) but I have only been around for about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGBullit235 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 That's pretty young for that to happen. I've seen them replaced around 200k, but even then it worked, the solenoid was just sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
