SWM Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 So i have a 98 Volvo T5M with 214,000 miles on it. It is now due for the following repairs. Timing Belt with water pump, belts etc (due NOW) Clutch. Not as urgent, but needs to be done asap. ABS module. Abs and tracs light come on every so often and ABS doesn't work, once car is turned off and on, things are ok til it occurs again. AC, again, not urgent, luxury. pump can be heard kicking on, then immediately off. i tried recharging it but no luck. Two local shops are asking around 2200 for the clutch and timing belt repairs which are the most important. Some of the VS'ers in the repair forums suggested i post here to see if anyone local is willing to do the repairs for a reduced NON raping rate ha ha. I live in Salem, MA so if someone was metro Boston, maybe north of Boston would be ideal and willing to help with the repairs, let me know what you would charge so i can think about it. All this because if i cannot get the repairs done reasonably enough, i will need to sell it and buy a newer vehicle. at 214K, i dont want to gamble putting nearly 2500 into this thing, if it I crapped my pants and I love how it feels out in another way in the near future, id rather put the 2500 toward a newer car. otherwise this car runs great, engine has been strong and trouble free as has the trans...that im aware of. Thanks for your consideration. Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Shadow Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 now this is the best way to ask for help! might ask a mod to change the subject line to narrow down the search to the mass boston area. I am sure some guys can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIZIO AKA 1 HND MEC Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hey Shawn you already have all the parts (clutch,pressure bearing,RMS, TB kit, water pump, etc) so to speak you ready to stop/fix the car?? Do you have any tools and place where to do the repair ( cherry picker, garage/barn)? I have the ABS module and all the tools including the cherry picker, we can arrange something.

volvo940tuner Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hey, if you're willing to come down this way (metrowest), then I'm sure some of the local Volvo crew can get together and help you out. Doing a timing belt/water pump/tensioner/pulley is kind of a PITA on the driveway, but it can be done. You going to the Euros @ Hooters meet in 2 weeks?
