Cvvt sensor change
Re: Cvvt sensor change
Now they want to change the adjuster/hub.looking at $1000 just for parts and labor..too much for this car. Being that its just a spare now, thinking we may just sell it cheap as is, should be able to get 500 for it

Looks like you have found the problem.
You can try putting in a used part. Pull up the part number, see what other model Volvo uses it, and search for a low mileage one.
This should provide the information: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... 62#fitment
As it is only $320 - I would go with a new part if I was paying someone to fix it (although they may charge full retail on the part). If you are going to do the work yourself then a used part would be my route.
FYI - Although it is not a hard job to do, it has potential problems. First it is like a timing belt change. You need to have the Volvo timing tool set, then you need to remove the VVT hub, which has caused some problems because of the torque. Then retiming the VVT has caused many a head ache. I would say if you knew what you were doing it is a 2 hour job. I would change both of the cam seals on that side if they have not been replaced. 98% of the work has been done and the seals are cheap.
Doing the numbers you can pay $1000 and get it fixed and then unload it for at least $2,000 if it is in nice shape if you decide you really no longer need it.
