Friends don't let friends buy MTC!

I feel like I need to broadcast this-- Don't buy MTC parts!

First, a replacement headlight switch for my 245-- fit poorly and lasted several days...

Second-- a splash pan for my 245-- the back 3 bolt holes aren't even close to fitting-- at least 3/4" off. For now it is held on by the front and side bolts only...

Third-- motor mounts for the 245-- the passenger side mount lasted about 2 months-- the original lasted 13 years! It was leaning like the Tower of Pisa when I pulled it and replaced it with genuine Volvo!

Fourth-- windshield washer nozzles for my 945-- they squirt as if they suffer from an enlarged prostate. I cleaned up the old ones and put them back in...

So far the only MTC "success story" I have to report is the brake pedal pad in my 945. Let's see if it lasts through the winter.

This crap makes Scantech seem over-engineered-- resist the urge to save a few bucks unless you like doing the same repairs over and over again!
