I just received the happy news from the local Volvo dealer that my oil leaks are numerous and problematic. The following are the required repairs, along with respective prices therefor, that I was quoted. If there are experts among you who would be willing to provide me with a "price" critique, I would be most appreciative. Needless to say, I am mainly checking to see if we are talking "ball park" as opposed to a flat-out gouge. Thanks for your time.
1. Front engine seals; Flame trap cleanout;
replace timing belt......................$407
2. Distributor "O" Ring; valve gasket.......$135
3. Re-seal water pump.......................$107
or
Water pump ............................$198
P.S. - I was also pitched on new radiator hose ($98) and various other
services (e.g., brake pads a millimeter away from disaster) all
of which I summarily declined. Have made no decision yet as I
would love some expert input.
