What is your question?
My mechanic told me that the Heater/AC Climate Controls need replacing. The heat does not work and the AC on light stays light even if it not blowing. Only cold air will blow. The cost? $1100! I can see why because the part lists for $900+ new. However, I found them used on Ebay for $50-$100 but the part numbers do not match exactly although they look exactly the same and from the same year. Could this be an issue? Does it matter if the controls are from a V70 wagon that it is not XC? Thank you.

part numbers must match. no exceptions. i am not of fan of junkyard parts because they have come out of junk. i sure hope your mechanis is right. Roy
Alot of times the only problem is a burnt diode inside the climate control unit. We have repaired this issue in the past. It is also possible to have the unit sent out to be repaired which is considerably less than replacement. Be carefuel with non-matching part#'s. Although, sometimes the only difference is that the part numbers sometimes supercede to a new number.
Thanks for the quick response. You are correct, I sure hope my mechanic is right.
