Replying to: pmwri (Jan 03, 2009 4:17 pm) The dealership honored their deal about paying the cost to replace the transmission, the catch was that they didn't cover the cost of the new radiator! There was metal filing in my radiator/hoses so I really didn't have a choice!. So I got a new/rebuilt transmission, hoses and radiator for $1,800! Kind of on the steep side for the radiator, but great for everything that I got! I now have over 3k miles and everything is going well. I will keep my fingers crossed! My plan is to buy a new car once I can afford it! Anyone want a 2004 with 65k miles? |

Well, we bought the 2003 Volvo T6 two years ago with ~50M miles. Great condition, all secured maintenance. I continued with the scheduled maintenance. We also had the extended warranty through 2008. During the past two years we have had the following work: - steering rack - rear wheel bearings (quite load after new tires) - transmission - occasional fluid loss, which turned out to be bad main gasket on engine - front suspension parts - passenger side rear shock (not covered by warranty but threatened dealer with small claims work, because of shotty installation) - new tires (not on warranty) - new brakes (not on warranty) Now warranty is done and other rear shock is leaking and gone bad. Also fan is starting to squeak during cold weather. When I asked dealer, it's another $1000 replacement. Everyone I tell, I like the styling like the design, but it is a P.O.S.! |

I have been using Royal Purple automatic transmission fluid. I change the fluid once a year. On this transmission, there is actually a pan that can be dropped and a filter or magnet to be cleaned or replaced. Do not do a flush without first dropping the pan and cleaning or changing the filter. If you do a flush, all you are doing is running ATF though the pan and over the magnet; stirring up all these shavings. These units will last if maintaned properly. If only people knew.....
