Experience with non Volvo parts?

(1/3) > >>

Stuart:
Hi just wondering if anyone out there has tried non Volvo parts re. impellers belts etc. For the D2 55 I was told the impeller is now $37 not $27 re a number change :o. They streamlined it for other engines, added 3 other gaskets I don't need and upped the price. The belt is over $50 I went to a local auto supply and got a match for $10 :tbu. I know there are some things re parts you should not skimp on but does anyone else have alternatives as far as consumables for their engine.


Cheers

Check on the Jabsco website. Volvo use Jabsco pumps/Impellors, brand them and up the price.

Hi All,
Does anyone know where you can get after market parts for Volvo engines ? except for basic items mentioned above. There pricing is discusting and horrific really they should be ashamed of the prices they charge. I can understand a little extra for product development and profit but not the prices they charge. These days there are a lot of good quality suppliers for belts, filters, bearings, seals etc and you will find Volvo will be re branding or the supplier will be making a batch for Volvo with the Volvo name on it but they will be the same parts. I have used after market parts for years on a variety of equipment with no problems.
