Unfortunate new Volvo owner! (98 V70 AWD)

I’d take chrome. Thanks!

<EDIT> Polished stainless, even better.

Have you checked for positive crankcase pressure by seeing if a glove inflates when you put it over the hole after removing the oil cap? It if inflates, it's a sign you need to change the EGR trap; positive pressure can cause seals to swell and lead to engine leaks. I have a 1998 Volvo V70 XC and had a mechanic replace it for me.

I am able order new expanders. I guess in USA they not kept in stock.

We can’t get them at all over here. Can you tell us how much they are? We might put together a group buy if you are willing?

Op- if you search my Kat Resurrection thread you will find a source for the OE fuel pump insert, which has to be built into the unique AWD cartridge .they are about $100 as of 2022

Just came here to needlessly agree that quantum fuel systems is a steal. Also had to replace the fuel pump in my AWD 98 R. I elected to drop the rear and the tank just enough to make it work (and work it was). Doesn't seem too difficult now that I've done it maybe 5 or so times in total now as I wound up having to replace some fuel line as well and had to play with routing and snug up any leaks...

Anyway, initial pump I got was so loud I refused to drive it... Feared id have to spring for the insanely priced Volvo replacement when I found quantum and it was so cheap it was worth the cost just to try and see if it worked. 40 bucks or so later and I have yet to hear it running once installed.
