My Volvo is currently in the shop for an exhaust manifold leak. The repair will be fairly costly.
The dealership has also advised the following:

RECOMMEND INTAKE SYSTEM REFRESH, RESONATORS AND ALL SEALS REPLACE WITH SUPERCHARGER REMOVED, SEALS TEND TO LEAK AND NOT SEAL, RESONATORS FULL OF OIL, RECOMMENDED WITH SUPERCHARGER ALREADY OUT, = 1358.48+TAX

Should I do this?

I was also wondering if I should also replace the whole the supercharger while it is out for an additional $1600.

Thoughts?

I would recommend replacing the resonators and supercharger seals while it is out. Not sure about that price though. Find out how much of that is labor. I can't see charging more than 1.5 or 2 hours to do it while it's already out.

As for the supercharger itself, I've only had to replace one. The good thing about doing it now is you'll get a lifetime warranty on it. So it depends how long you are going to keep the car.

thanks for the advice. It looks like 2 hours of labor plus parts. I can get it down to $1100. I probably will not keep the car one enough to spend money on a new supercharger, especially if they do not go bad that often

Does the lifetime warranty include labor if it fails in the future?

If it was bought and installed at a Volvo dealer, yes. The warranty isn't transferable though.

These are not volvo dealer prices. Volvo literally want 3x as much to do anything so there will only be a 2 yr warrenty
