Irrespective of the setting of the air recirculation button, outside air

rushes into my 97 850. It has been working properly for about 3 years,

before this. I took it to the local Volvo dealership - on the first trip,

they said nothing was wrong, and this was normal. It was the end of the

day, so I took it back again. This time, they pulled out the glove

compartment and said the flaps were closing correctly. Took the technician

for a ride in my car and a similar 850, and he acknowledged that there was

something wrong with my car. Took it back a third time - they said they

"fixed" it, but still the same problem.

It is annoying in traffic because you cannot keep the smoke / pollution out.

And it used to work for 3 years. Obviously, this Volvo dealership is unable

to resolve this. Any advice before I take it to a different dealership?

Anyone else experience this before, and if so, how was it fixed? Thx in

advance.
