We have been informed that our 2003 XC90 needs a new angle gear. I understand this to be the external component on the transmission that transmits power to the rear axle enabling the AWD feature. Re-sealing is not an option as the damage is too extensive.
The repair is very expensive $3,300 CDN and the car has only 69,000Kms. We purchased the car used and do not have an extended warranty.
What are the implications of not doing this repair?
I am disappointed that this seems to be a flaw Volvo is aware of as the part from the manufacturer seems to fail early. Any luck with a recall or having this repaired free/reduced cost?
Thanks.
