I think you will find that most independent shops don't have the tools or proprietary software to work on Volvo. Good Luck

The downside of Volvo truck with Volvo engine is only the dealer can work on them from what I hear. Pittsburgh Power was looking into working on Volvo engines they said they would have but like 2 pallets of special tools. Even they said it was not worth it for the amount of trucks they would work on.

Let me tell you something those guys have tools they have proper software but they dont know how to use them i have misfire on cylinder number 5 and low compresicom 46% diagnose bad injector replace them charged $2000 after that I drove 5 miles and I got exactly the same problem but now computer doesn't show any codes so they say must be something else we have to keep looking I'm sick and tired to spend money for guessing

@mike0321 not true. You absolutely need a Volvo tool to install the injector cups properly.

How many miles? Sometimes they like to drop a valve......depending on how many miles.
QUALITYTRUCK and Snailexpress Thank this. -

If you have low compression on cylinder #5 then you have a mechanical issue with the cylinder or piston.
You can throw injectors and sensors at it all day long and you won’t go anywhere till you address the mechanical issues and get your compression back where it belongs.OLDSKOOLERnWV and AModelCat Thank this. -
