About Roger Patricio Expertise Can answer all Volvo car questions. European and Canada spec cars are different but I can try to help you.
Experience I am a Certified Volvo Tech at in Independent Volvo Repair shop. I grew up around Volvos and decided I wanted to do it professionally. I worked at the dealer for about a year then I went to work at an Independent shop which I have been with for 10 years.
Question We recently purchased a 1994 Volvo 850 Wagon. It came with no keys. (DMV accepted the title transfer!) My husband purchased a replacement set off ebay (doorlocks and ignition) but is unable to get the original lock cylinders out of the door to replace them. Is there a trick?
Answer Marilyn, not really a trick but he does have to take the lock actuator out to access the clip that holds the lock cylinders in place. The trick is putting things back together. If the one rod doesnt go back into the hole properly on the lock actuator, the lock will not work. Hope this helped. Roger
