SH8KDWN Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I had to show the parts guy the new Volvo rim center caps on my Blackberry. I also had them on a wild goose chase looking for the volvo OEM strut brace. Am I crazy, doesn't that exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH8KDWN Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 They triple checked and told me it was never made. I'd love the part number if anyone has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashif Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 They triple checked and told me it was never made. I'd love the part number if anyone has it.Tell them to check Volvo Accessories. I too ask them about this and they told it would cost $240. Crazy expensive. I would rather go OMP for $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFL83 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 When the new s40t5 came out i went to the dealer to check it out. I asked the guy on the lot if they had any T5`s with the 6 speed gearbox and he kept telling me "they don`t come with a 6 speed" to my reply was "yes they do i just read about it today". So we walk over to the three they have on the lot and they are all the 2.4 model. I tell him "this is the 2.4, do you have the T5?" to his reply " This is the new s40" . So i told him thank you and started to walk away when he gave me his card and wouldn`t you know it....he works for a acura dealership over the hill and was only there cause they were shorthanded. I had the parts guy at the same dealership refuse to make me a copy of my key. He told me "volvo keys are made outta steel and don`t ever break, goto a lock smith and have them cut you one" One of the service writers at a indie volvo shop here told me that 740`s didnt have torque rods and that they only came on 240`s. Then they wanted to charge me $2000 to change some suspension bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
