Premium Coupling Oil Pump for Volvo S60 S80 XC70 V70 XC60 XC90 (2003-2014 Models) - AWD Transmission Fluid Pump Replacement - Perfect for Off-Roading & Winter Driving Conditions

This pump had NO reviews when I bought it. A friend already told me A-Premium parts were like gambling rolling a dice, he had won and had lost, I lost big time. I would consider A-premium brand again as pricewise is very competitive, but I'm only taking the gamble on a product with reviews and that the labor involved in replacing it is not extensive as in this case, for those, I'm biting the bullet and getting some known brand name parts. Got it for almost half the price I ended up paying for Vaico pump at another site 3 days later but I paid those savings big time with my own labor.Pump seemed OK out of the box, resistance across the winding was normal. Replacing it is not an easy job (noting to do with the pump itself but with the vehicle design). I noticed the pump was considerably LOUDER than the original that died after 13 years, I could hear it humming standing next to the car, whereas the other one you can only hear it while under the car (that is how my other car with 17 years and the original pump runs). Had to drop the propeller shaft twice in a week, not happy at all about it, and I do all my work, imagine paying double labor if you had supplied your own parts to your mechanic (not their fault at all, that's why almost every shop will refuse to install customer supplied parts). Replacement Vaico pump was scaringly identical just with the Vaico logo engraved, but runs very quiet like the original and after 2 months and some thousand kms still holding. Refund was issued right away no problems.
