Re: HELP! Cost for Service: Oil Leak, Tranny flush 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be SJ on  Sat Dec 1 03:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Oil leak is easy to do yourself - lots of good tips from Volvospeed etc.

Read up and impress your buddies!

The tranny thing isn't difficult however can be messy and if your not already into this kind of maintenance you do have to buy a few things - not much but unless your going to do this on your buddies car too - why bother. Of course if you do it then you have to get rid of the old stuff.

Go to a shop with a trans flush machine - quick connectors snap on and you watch the old brown dirty fluid pump out and the fresh red fluid pushed in. Very safe with no mess. Now the cost.

The dealers can be a bit predatory ( be polite ) although many volvo specialists ( as in non dealers) do have the equipment. I paid $99.00 CDN including fluid! Not synthetic oil but that is another point of view.

Good Luck
