    EGR cooler for my Volvo D13, 2008 starts leaking slowly. I still have the original ; I was looking for part at Volvo dealers here in Ontario Canada, was priced from 1900-to-2100$ plus 450$ core charge; Soo, I checked the ebay, ; was listed for 590$ or best offer. I offered 400$, they sold it for 400$ plus shipping and some taxes around 600$ to my door this morning. I believe is reman,i hope doesn't leak worst than mine lol :) still worth the risk at this this price. :) There are lots of parts offered at the fraction of dealer price on ebay, I've seen new AC compressor for 120$ and lots more.

    eBay is the bomb. I've bought 4 trucks and even a few trailers off there before. You can tell when the person is full of it. On parts it's pretty straight forward. With bigger purchases just send a small deposit then wire the money once you fly or drive there and lay eyes on the item.

    The one you took off, was it the original? Was it you that broke something like 1.5 million miles on that volvo? I hope it never dies.

    Yep, gokiddogo , i have 1,655,000 miles, still running ,original motor, transmission. I didn't replace the original EGR cooler yet, just got the part today, the leak is minor anyway. I'm going to try to do it myself, Volvo shops are charging 3500--4000$ for parts /labor.
