tuffyluffy 76 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 If you have no joy finding a second hand part, I can highly recommend the company below for Volvo parts. They were about 1/3 - 1/2 the price of the local guys (including freight) and the parts arrived in days. I saved thousands on a engine rebuild by using them. Local guys wanted my first born child and its future earnings as payment, or that's how it felt.

Island Time 1,230 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Rawhide, what's wrong with the old one? If the case is OK, they can be re-cored for way less $... Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've got a 2003T sitting in the shed that's only good for parts Not sure if they have the same HE though. Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 59 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Unfortunately it is the casting that is gone, corroded beyond repair, had a look at the schematics for the 2003T and it looks quite different. Will give the guys in the UK a go Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 You could use a generic heat exchanger, does not have to be a factory one. You could try http://autoradiators.co.nz/marine/ Or similar.... Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 59 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I think I am stuck because the housing also is the exhaust manifold, here is the details Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hmm, I like the 2003t more and more! Yep, looks like you are stuck, unless the old one can be welded, but I'm sure you've thought of that... Link to post Share on other sites
Chill Pill 1 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey Craig, As others have said. Look offshore for pricing for Volvo branded stuff. I got a fresh water pump in from the USA for less than half local price. It took 2 days to get to Auckland Airport and then 5 day from there to Penrose. Anyhow I think the motor (2020 and 2030 series) is actually a Perkins, so maybe a search under that brand would be worth while. Welcome to the world of Volvo ownership.

rossd 16 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If getting stuff from UK do you have to pay the VAT Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 No, but you will have to pay gst if its over 400 nzd when it comes thru NZ customs. Link to post Share on other sites
