Volvo parts prices

[zazu]

I know that Volvo spare parts are not cheap but this is taking the mickey.

D6 350hp: I needed a new supercharger pressure switch. £325 !

From Europarts £51.74. It turns out it is a standard Bosch part.

Far easier to use a company such as Keypart........

I've no connection BTW but good prices and great service

I second keypart, use then alot for seals and gaskets. I also use costal rides for odds and ends, £10 for a good second hand flame arrestor, £60 quid in one of the VP Dealers near me. I've just replaced the trim relays, £20 each, or £5 from the local auto spares, you can guess where I went !!!!

My advice, shop around !

Found Keypart getting expensive so switched to Aquapart, much better website and keener prices. No connection other than happy customer.

I'll second that!

on non VP spares Keypart have a tendency to remove original part numbers and put a VP part number instead, example voltage regulator, made by Valeo, part number cut out of box and a labeled VP number stuck over cutout! keypart price £109 Valeo £25. and I believe it's illegal to do so, but I haven't looked into it too deeply.and it's not libelous as I have the part, invoice and packaging to prove it.
