The problem is with the garage.

A home mechanic with a misfire replaces the spark plugs (£25), then the coils (£75) then the ignition pack etc etc. They do this with £20 to £75 parts.

When you go to a garage they run proper diagnostics (you can test each parking sensor with a laptop!). They then replace the 2nd coil pack only.

What you have is a garage that have replaced the faulty item, then the next part in the chain will fail, then they won’t locate the water leak and it will all happen in 6 months.

Unless you are very confident of the garage my advice is to pay them and leave and take it to a proper Volvo garage.

You could spend a fortune on a fitter replacing each bit daisy chain like piece by piece.

Edit: Volvo specialist, not Volvo garage.
