Vehicle just came off extended warranty. Low mileage and extremely well kept. All servicing done with Volvo.
A vacuum noise developed when hard accelerating or climbing. Fuel efficiency dropped. Took vehicle to Volvo , and they ssaid the Turbos are failing and need to be replaced. Both of them at a cost of $3800.
This is just one in a long list of major repairs this vehicle has had in its life. Unfortunately for me from the date of purchase. But until now the warranty covered everything.
Can I replace the Turbos myself? Where can I purchase A less expensive set, rather than from Volvo? Are there any instructions available out there for this particular job?
