S60RHello All,
Bought my S60R almost two months ago now and have read extensively about the angle gear issues.
One thing that is not clear is at what point (model year?) in time the angle gear was upgraded, does anyone know the answer to this question?
Thanks in advance,
Nick0

just checked my service history and at 101,946miles (when the Angle gear was replaced) MRG Volvo did indeed fit the upgraded service kit.
The service kit was £89 and the Angle gear was £756.
Sorted!
