Hey there, Gosh, that sounds very similar to what's happening with my S60! Thanks for sharing your experience. It at least gives me an idea of where to start and what I might be in for. Do you remember roughly how much the repairs set you back? And have you noticed any related problems crop up since they fixed it? Any extra info would be a great help! Thanks, and hope your V60 continues to stay trouble-free!

Hey, For sure, I remember that bill! Fixing that defective Servomotor cable connection took about 200€ out of my pocket. Not exactly pocket change, right? But let me tell you, it was a load off when everything was back in the groove again. And I'm glad to report, once they got into the deep workings and sorted out that defroster flap control, things have been smooth sailing. No more unexpected issues or temper tantrums from the blower. The good news? It seems like a solid fix, not just a band-aid solution. Hope your S60's dramas can be sorted as quickly and completely. Spare no expense to keep her purring, that's my mantra! Keep us posted on how it goes! Take care!

Hi again, Thanks a bunch for the insight and shared experience, it definitely made the situation less stressful to think about. 200€ is a bit daunting, but knowing what might be necessary is better prep than going in blind. Happy to know it looks like a solid repair too! Indeed, let's hope my sweet S60 gets back to her best behavior soon. I hate seeing her like this. Will definitely keep you posted on how the repair goes, fingers crossed it's a smooth one. Cheers and thanks for the help!

Hey, Had a similar problem with my 2016 Volvo V60 not too long ago. Sounds like a Servomotor cable connection may be on the blink, as that controls the air flap. When it happened to mine, the defroster flap was acting up just like you said...blower was all over the place. Turned out, the entire cable system was defective and needed a good overhaul. It was a frustrating affair, no doubt, but once those cables were replaced, things were back to normal. It was a fairly significant issue with the internal mechanisms, but nothing that a competent mechanic couldn't sort out. Just wanted to give you a heads up so you know what you might be dealing with. Best of luck with it!
