Hello i have a 2006 xc90 2.5T....long story short i, i got this really cheap from a friend that can not fix it ..... the car threw a rod and i would like to know what connecting rods i can use form any other volvos or the fitment any info will be apreciated

 

Just put a used motor in it. It will likely be cheaper in the long run and you don't have to worry about throwing some used rods that might be wrong in the engine just to save a few bucks.

 

well the thing is.... I live down here in TJ in Mexico and well volvos down here are rare to find....and a new block runs about 500 bucks..... and a full one about 1000.....i paid 1400 for the xc90 so i really dont want to pay more...... there are a few s60 and a few s70 in a yunk yard here so i just want to if i could use the rods. or what can a splice in there. there must be something..

 

Ah I see.

Well there is an engine break, with two different rods based on engine serial number. That is for US models anyway. Your best bet would be to call the dealer and have the VIN handy. They can give you a part number and you can cross reference that.

 

thanks man. will do every one is saying all other connecting rods only fit the 2005 model... so ill go there

 

The B5254T2 engine 2.5T is used in many models (S60, S80, XC90 etc.).
If you can cross the border, San Diego should have some used engine, about $500.

 

That does not guarantee the rods are all the same though. The parts catalog I have access to from home indicates two different rods, based on engine number. That is also a US catalog and I don't know if the engine numbers span multiple years or not.

 

What other parts are you going to need ?
What caused this connecting rod failure ?
Is the cost going to exceed the price of a used engine ?
Have you done this type of work before ?
These are not smarta$$ questions , I am just wanting you to consider what you are getting into instead of getting a used engine .

 

well guys i got everything i need..... its not that easy bringing and engine into mexico .....you have to import it and that cost about 450 plus the price of the new engine its not worth it..... and yes i know exactly what im doing i gots all the tools to put the car back in timming and the rest of the parts ill just order from rockatuo.com ... i got some rod bearing and crank bearing from my old s70 i never used ill i would need is a new headgasket ....machine the crank and the head.....these volvos are pretty fun to work on easy to take the engine out so thks for all the input... on and yes i gots the rods off another xc90 same year and all the marbles...

 

Good deal..good luck & keep us posted !
