Beware of the Scan-Tech branded parts you may purchase for your Volvo. I've
bought three bad or improperly provided parts from them over the last year.
Be sure you check your parts carefully because some you won't be able
to return. I wrote to them via email and they won't reply to my email.
Here are the parts problems I had.
1.
Bought 2 front wheel bearing kits. Both sets don't fit the front spindle. They
won't slide over the spindle. Inner diameter is too small. Probably for an
earlier model Volvo. But BOTH boxes are marked with the correct part numbers.
2.
Replacement front hood release cable. Cable seems to be quality enough. However it is supplied without the locking clip to lock it to the hole through
the firewall. The clip is not sold by Scan-Tech. You must get the clip from
a Volvo dealer. What good is supplying a cable that you can't install? This
is a 2 cent piece of hardware that should be supplied with the cable. You
always need a new clip for this installation. Shame on you Scan-Tech.
3.
New style heater valve. I install this heater valve kit which includes most of
the parts I need to adapt the valve to my car. The installation goes OK. But,
after a couple of weeks of use I find out that the valve doesn't shut off the
heat. It will make it a very low setting but never completely shuts off the
flow. Now, I have to replace this thing again. Yes, the cable adjustment is corect. Bummer...going to have to do it again in the warmer weather.

I have bought good parts from them but this is really a shame. My fixes
for these problems are:1, 2 New SKF bearing kits which fit. 2 I'm going to
buy 2, 2 cent locking clips from dealer. 3, I have to buy another new heater
valve. I'll probably go back to the old style one but I'm not sure yet.
Hope this helps someone avoid any similiar problems.
