I just gave a call to my local dealer to see if they had any of those tranny coolers lying around, they said they dont keep the stuff, and if its under a tranny is changed under waranty, the parts are shiped back to volvo... :blink:

anyways I got a quote from the dealer just to see, its 450$!!!! :o

I'll call a euro parts guy tomorow, but worst case there are tones of generic coolers available on JEGS for like 120$

B)

they don't call back the coolers, the trannys are the only thing that is shipped back, the lines and cooler are tossed, how else would we have gotten them, no way I'm paying any money for it ;)

I guess the parts guy is a douche... best thing i probably to walk up to the techs i the garage and ask them straight up. Anyway, I like the aftermarket one better because of space constraints... ill post some pics when I install it next week.

We are actually supposed to OPR (old parts return) all warranty parts, mainly so we can prove to volvo we made the repair and the parts were defective. They dont call for all of them but the parts guys are mostly complete and total f-tards and dont know what we have laying around the shop. Having said that, these are all aluminum so most of them get taken to the metal yard by the old scrap metal guys in the shop. I just got bored one day and wanted a trans cooler so i stole one.

how do you like it so far? and how hard was the install?

as easy as 1-2-3, you just use the 4 rad tie-raps provided in the kit to tie the cooler to the AC rad, then you take the return line going back to the PS tank and insert the provided fiting into it, cut a piece of the provided hose from that fitting you just put in the existing hose and bring it to one of the tips on the cooler, add some clamps, that side is done.

Than you take the rest of the provided hose and insert it on the other tip of the cooler and bring it to the nipple on the PS tank. Clamp it as well, with provided clamps.

Thats it...

Its snowing like hell up here in Ottawa... the car is stored for winter, wont know how awesome this works until April :lol:
