Catalytic Converter S40-V40 2000

Volvo dealer said about $575 plus labor to replace a flex pipe and catalytic converter because it's all 1 piece. Is this covered under emissions warranty?
Car is 49950 miles and 51 months old. Any similar experiences with other models?
Thanks

    Do you have your warranty booklet? S40-V40 2000

    If not you can find it at www.volvocars.com

    Go to the US site and register in the owners circle. It has links to the owners manual and other literature.

    The warranty manual for my 2002 S40 lists the catalytic converter as one of the major emission items that is covered by warranty to 8 years or 80,000mi. So unless there is cause for the dealer to say you abused or neglected the car, it aught to be covered.

    Good Luck,

      Chris, I also have a 95 850 GLT with 98,000 miles. I can understand paying out of my own pocket. My S 40 has 49900 miles and is 51 months old. What is covered under the emissions extended warranty? I sent an email to Volvo customer care on their website. They said thanks for the inquiry and will get back to me shortly. That was Tuesday morning. Today is Thursday and no reply.
      Any other thoughts out there?
      Thanks

          Thank you all for your help. Mt Kisco Volvo in NY said the catalytic converter is a warranty item. They installed the part at no charge. I am very pleased with their service and no bill.

            What are the symptoms you are encountering to determine that it is the Catalytic Converter to the fault? Is it poor emission tests, poor performance or vibration? I have a problem with my V40 that is leading me in this direction.

            Thanx
