Hello,
Does anyone know if the subframe is generic? Ie those that fit on diesel models will fit on petrol? Also, what sort of price would you expect to pay for a new subframe? Thanks |

Got underneath and took some images. Would anyone bother replacing this or just leave it as is? It is worse for not horrendous, but it was something a garage highlighted.

It’s holed near a mounting point or damaged near the gearbox mount? I don’t think that would pass test here in the UK. It’s certainly looks crusty.
Salt use must be heavy where you are so chances of finding a good second hand one might be slim? You might end up having to buy new. I would be looking at protecting the rest of the car with something like fluid film to help prevent any further issues.

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...&postcount=423 Not sure, but it looks like the frame fits all models, maybe even petrol/diesel. New one P/N 31406808 is pricey at 1300-1800 EUR. The bracket P/N 31368100 underneath the radiator is less than 50 EUR. Yours looks bad. I'd go after a good used one and refurbish it the best I could before installation. Used ones start at 150-250 EUR and don't look bad on the pictures. Esp compared to yours...

Yeah quotes for new were insane here. But yes, a lot of road salt over the winter here. Never seen so many rusty cars! Mines is ok, just that subframe has taken a beating. |

Funnily enough I asked Canadian Tire here to do an underbody corrosion spray... as well as peeing in the wind! **** poor job they did, infact did they even?

If you do get a new subframe, make sure you get the car properly treated underneath. You'll end up in the same predicament in future if you don't. I know its not your fault, but they really did do a **** job. Sadly, its not going to be a cheap fix. I don't know how long you plan on keeping the car? A new sub frame, plus fitting and getting it undersealed professionally with a decent product like fluid film would cost you around $3,000+ I don't think you'll have much luck finding a second hand subframe in decent condition. Salt eats cars alive over there! Its worth a try, but I'd be doubtful.

Apart from the above, the car runs great. Had it for almost 6 months now. |
