Chances are they're including a ton of systems checks and diagnostics that will show everything is working well.
If it's not working well, you'll spend some bucks to fix it. -
Doesn't sound out of normal price. Just pray they do it right.

Seems a little high. I believe a friend of mine with a VNL780 paid about $400 to have his done. I can get it done on mine for 3 hours labor, tax and everything - about $365. Not sure how much room there is once you raise the hood up on a volvo and "how much fun" it is to simply get the valve covers off, possibly a little more labor than on my truck.

Had the overhead done at Volvo denver. By the TA.
$350. also had them do a PM and replace the carrier bearing I found had to much 'play' during my DOT annual inspection.
As for the OH, i can't tell anydifference yet. I was hoping for better pulling power, mpg improvement-
Thisrun should be a good test- We were dh out to LA from denver...and now headed east to indiana.
7.5mpg on the way out--over the CO-UT I70 route.
loaded with 28k. will avg 65-68 on cruise. hoping for 6.8mpg
When I arrived in Cali, I stopped for a wash at the beacon , because the engine looked covered in Oil. found a head cover bolt was loose. No major loss of oil, just look splattered everywhere.
Now, for the carrier bearing.... i, like others on the volvo forum, have this peculiar noise,vibration- that occurs at highway speeds when going downhill , power off- others have thought it's the airbag leveler...otheres the angle of the shaft - others the carrier bearing.
well, with the carrier bearing replaced- my issues continues. I had a bag replaced and the level rod replaced about 4 months ago. at that time(volvo Boise) no mention was made about a faulty level valve. so , i'm kinda stumped, still. -
i have a driver that complains of this same vibration.. let me know if you find out what it is. i think his ride height is a little high myself, i'm going to adjust it down tomorrow and ask him again in a couple of weeks if he still notices it... if i'm not mistaken ride height is supposed to be 2.75" ?

Will do. I'm most likely taking it into Volvo Columbus in the morning. I've got the 'check engine fault' warning's poping up-
with codes mid sid fmi
128 146 13
low oil warning-
and this right after the PM, overhead service. killin me
so, i'll ask about the ride height when i'm gettin this looked at. -
Thanks to Pablo UA for the Volvo code sheet!
however ...the codes I posted last night....
indicate EGR, but I don't see fmi 13
PS: how many times can I clear out the fault code on the lcd and what happens in the interim....Does the fault fix itself..."wishing on a star"Last edited: Oct 15, 2011

FMI 13 is Out of calibration ore cant be calibrated

After the part install 85% of noise and vibration is gone.
I was going to put some motorkote in the rear end to see if that would help.
