Consumer Description

THE FUEL RAIL BEGAN LEAKING FROM PLUG IN FRONT END OF RAIL. I WAS ABLE TO SMELL THE LEAK IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID A FIRE OR OTHER DAMAGE. LOCAL INDEPENDENT PARTS STORE INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 960. BOUGHT A NEW, REDESIGNED FUEL RAIL FROM LOCAL VOLVO DEALER. IT WAS IN STOCK AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY SELL A FAIR NUMBER OF THESE. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PART. THE NEW PART HAS A DIFFERENT DESIGN OF THE END PLUG WHICH LEAKED ON MY CAR. I NO LONGER HAVE THE OLD PART AVAILABLE. *JB
