    hey pablo-

    I'm resigned to taking it into the dealer.

    Hey , remmeber those problems i mentioned last week about the coolant smell coming from engine after both egr's were replaced?

    Well, the problem was , one of the clamps was loose. it actually came completely off.... sounded really loud....like the turbo blowing apart. had that fixed at a local shop($140)- volvo warranty won't apply, cause i would have to risk running it like that, or have it towed.

    If that's how it works Ill buy your Volvo after you have taken it in for a major service.

    about the wet tank. we had technical buluten about VN, FH and FM tank inspection. Especially VN. Tank may be corroded, especially on VN and VM becouse batteries are the source of acid, so if we see tank rusty we must change it (no warranty) as safety issue.

    to avoid it I advice you check batteries, alternator for overvoltage and wash tanks with water ore with some soap ore soda.
