Had my car loked at by a Volvo specialist. Was told the ABS controller is bad hence the ABS and Tracs lights on sometimes. Who repairs these, where are they, can I contact them for pricing?

Also I have a crack in the exhaust manifold near a flex joint? I'm getting exhaust smell in the car whilr driving in town. Is this a difficult job? Sounds like a manifold is expensive.

The heater hoses from the block to the firewall are bulging. how do I remove the hose from the coupler on the firewall, special tool or just by hand. I know that the couplers sometimes break but don't know exactly how to remove and re-install them.

Air Conditioning compressor, mine is making noise but working. Are these expensive to replace, difficult? What other components should be changed out when doing the compressor?

Again, my first Volvo so forgive my questions that may seem basic. I am an aircraft mechanic by trade and have my share of car repairs over the years and I'm not afraid to tackle tough jobs. Thanks for any help here!

First, be sure that it IS the exhaust manifold that has cracked. THe manifold is not THAT expensive, but labour prolly is. But see if you can get a used manifold for that.





There's a pinned up thread by Tech on reshimming the compressor. Take a look and see.





No problem, dude. An AIRCRAFT mechanic? Wow. When you get the Volvo FLYING, call us, eh?
