RickHaleParker's suggestions would be helpful. My guess is that your transmission needs to be rebuilt. Your initial fix sounds like the filter was getting clogged with worn material and once this happened the transmission did not have enough pressure to move the car. When you replaced the filter and...

That is the Volvo Special. It is sold with hoses for a special price around $110, part No. 1270480. I am thinking you may just be able to get a check valve, part No. 1275226, but it is listed for the S/V40 2000-2004. Looks the same, but I don't know more than that. Any other part numbers on the chec...

Jonboy- I think that is a great kit fcp has assembled. I like the fact they added the sway bar end links. It is a pretty straight forward job unless the bolts are corroded. End link removal can be a major pain, but you can use a vice-grip to grab them from behind as they are being replaced. I have h...

I did not read the entire post you linked regarding the GM VB swap. So I will ask - did you adjust any of the solenoids before install or did you install them as provided? I ask this b/c when I rebuilt my 2001 XC70 VB with the TransGo kit there were adjustments on the solenoids which are used to fin...

The big question is how much is she selling it for. First things I would look at is overall physical condition of the car - if it looks like a beater do you want to drive it (not to mention it reflects maintenance). Next I would look at the tires as replacement is a larger ticket item cost wise. The...

You need to provide better detail. What and when was done to the car. Also what and when were the symptoms before and after each servicing, plus mileage and time gaps. What kind of noise was the car making when it died? A turbo in that condition would make a tremendous racket before failing and woul...

In your other post you mentioned numerous items. My response was for you to provide more information. As June states if the oil feed line to the turbo fails and the oil is pumped out the failure point a failed turbo line could cause the problem you mention. But - the turbo is not the cause. Without ...

Well your code says you have a crank shaft sensor issue. A failed unit will cause a non-start. I would track the harness back - look for a compromised wire/harness/junction. Not sure if there is a fuse. If you have a VOM you can use that to help. Any information on the vehicle before you bought it (...

I will post what I recall based off my memory for my 2004 XC90 with same engine. Working from the turbo - passenger side - from the diaphragm a short vacuum line goes to hard line hose pipe that runs on the back of the upper part of the engine. This hose rarely fails. From here it starts again with ...

Try this Volvo dealership: https://parts.volvocarsofmarietta.com/ punch in your information and go to the engine section - scroll down and look up both turbo charger and intercooler sub-sections. In the intercooler section - you will find this part number listed: 1275883 - it is called "Overflo...
