I have been suffering the ‘sticky’ lock problem on my passenger door for about a year now. (Sometimes it wont lock, sometimes it wont unlock). Recently in the cold weather it got much worse. Last week I couldn’t get the door open, and then the next day I couldn't get it to lock. I temporarily fixed this by resetting the door/window computer - only for the problem to return the following day.

I understand from previous threads that the lock mechanisms are recognised as faulty, and Volvo offer a 50% discount on parts and labour (if you get them to admit it – my stealer wants the diagnostic labour fee before he will even talk about it).

Having recently reached the end of my tether with main dealers and independents, I have decided to try and do the job myself.

My question is, is this a technically difficult job? Does it require any specialist tools? Is there any way of getting hold of the part with the discount without having the stealer do the work? Any tips on the job are appreciated…..

PS: Does anybody know the part no. for the passenger lock mechanism??
