Trying to buy a new Bosch Fuel Pressure Regulator - Can't find it anywhere 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Mon May 25 16:09 CST 2020 [RELATED]

hf63,

Thank you for your reply. With regard to your suggestions:

1) I am exchanging emails with a company called "Nordicar" which is based in the Netherlands. It has an ad in the back of Rolling, the magazine of the Volvo Club of America. They are looking for me now, but the price, based upon my rough calculation from euros to dollars will be nearly $200 about 4 times the cost if the part was available in the U.S. as an aftermarket part and I don't even know what the shipping cost would be.

2) I asked my mechanic if I could "convert to a universal regulator" and he said "No".

3) My 1996 850 non-turbo has the regulator in the same location as your 1998 S70.

Thank you for your help and suggestions. This is such a headache. It would kill me if a part that retailed (from a Volvo dealer) for just over $100 would prevent me from continuing to enjoy driving my car. I am just dumbfounded by the dearth of substitute regulators or even regulators designed to fit my car.

Hugh
