They said that the block had gotten so hot it "melted" (their words) the bottom third of the stud into the block causing it to break. Because of this they could not remove the remainder of the stud. It broke about two inches into the block...not flush. They took me back to have a look myself. The threads on the part of the stud that they got out did look abnormal...of course they could have done that themslves. My first question was if they used an air wrench...they said they did not. I generally trust this dealership, but based on the reaction of the people I tell about this, I am beginning to wonder. Maybe the real moral of my story is to avoid the service department at Point West Volvo in Irving Texas!
