AC Compressor 1998 V90

Trying to find a replacement AC compressor for my 1998 V90, equipped with a DKS15CH (Diesel-Kiki / Zexel). Wondering if a Sanden SD7H15-7930 can be used as replacement, or should I search out the somewhat harder to find DK version (only found an aftermarket replacement by UAC that also cost more tha...

B6304 head job manual

Trying to find a copy of this manual:

B6304 Engine 960 1991- (TP-31714-2)

Would like to read up before starting head gasket replacement on my 1998 V90. I found a similar
TP2103201 online, but recall the procedure described more directly in the other book.

Thanks so much for any help!

Re: head gasket and valve seals

Sweet! $80 is less than half of what these things would cost me individually, so I guess I could splurge and get the real thing. Thanks!

Re: head gasket and valve seals

The blue V90 is my project car, and the expected mileage is ~ 5,000 miles/year. I've been a V90 owner and a shadetree mechanic for the past 10 years though, and I have another V90 with 234K on the odo, which will also need head gasket and some transmission work... I guess I just like working on thes...

head gasket and valve seals

I posted the same question on 240/740/940/960 forum but received no reply, and since my question is more of a whiteblock engine specific, I thought I'd try here... I'm about to change the head gasket for my car and want to leave the head for a valve job (valves are fine, but the valve stem seals wou...

Re: 1996 Volvo 960 Fuel Rail

A used fuel rail from a So Cal salvage yard chain (LKQ) costs about $15. A 30-day warranty would cost you another $5 or so. They have a bunch of 960/S/V90 cars in stock on their yards. It takes about 5 min work, a few basic tools (T25 and Phillips #2 screwrivers, 10mm socket, ratchet and extension a...

Re: 1998 Volvo S90 wiring/ecm integrity check?

What's the mileage on the car? Has O2 sensor been replaced recently? Any other issues, general maintenance history of the car? In my case a new to me 1998 V90 had obviously been neglected for a period of time, used on short trips etc. The oxygen sensor went south, replacing it with a new Bosch one (...

head gasket and valve seals

Opinions are sought on AJUSA head gasket set (comes with valve seals). Been happy with the quality of AJUSA intake manifold gasket... The whole set was $84 delivered, as compared to some $175 dealer price for just the valve seals... There's also Victor Reinz seals P/N 3517893 that go for about 50 ce...
