Looking for a source of catalytic convertor
Must be Volvo
Xc70 2011
Might be months if ordered from Sweden and I need a state sticker soon

I had a cat code accompanied with a fuel rail pressure sensor code. I replaced the pressure sensor and still had the cat code. I ran a bottle of Caticlean (auto parts store) through the tank and my cat code has been off since. You MUST follow the directions to the letter. - get below of 1/4 tank add the caticlean, drive until you are almost empty then fill the tank. By the second tank my light went off and has been off for 6 months.
I usually don’t trust the “fix in a bottle” but my cousin used it on his old Honda and it’s been good for several years, so for $20.00 it was worth a try.

Yeah the Volvo cat/ down pipe is a $1,900 part from Volvo and it’s a shitty job to replace it because the bolts are impossible to get to.

A junk yard will not sell you one. But, you might find a down pipe with a cat still attached.

A dealer costs a lot.

What makes you think you need a new one? Was yours stolen? Or is it just the codes you are getting?

Which state you live in?

Yes a code for throttle body and cat
Just replaced the throttle body and now awaiting for the 100 mile drive before going back to my Volvo mechanic(not dealer) and hope the engine light stays off and the codes are clear for a sticker.”keeping it running is better than buying new”

Codes are meant to help mechanics get pointed in the right direction when there is a fault. It is not meant to be gospel truth. An error on the throttle body suggests cleaning first, checking electrical connections second, and replacing last.

Same goes for cat codes. The Volvo cats are well designed and normally last over 300,000 miles. They do give out when abused, like ignoring O2 sensor codes, burning a lot of antifreeze or engine oil, or pouring leaded Mexican gasoline into the tank.

I get a code that my cat is dead if I let the car idle in gear for more than 10 minutes - like stop and go rush hour. I have replaced both O2 sensors, but I suspect the previous owner neglected the car badly.

Engine light on again after 20 miles after dumping $900 for new throttle body!
Any suggestions before I have to spend 3k for convertor
I hate to junk it no dents rust or rips in interior

Stop by an autoparts store and get the codes read. Then post them here! If it is a throttle body code, your repair should be free.

Mass does not require dealer branded cat converter. But, then a 2011 built car shouldn't need a cat replacement anyway.

Code was read @auto parts and my Volvo mechanic……throttle body
3k was for both cat and throttle body.
I should of addressed the throttle body issue 6 months ago when it periodically went into ‘limp’ mode sporadically. Could that of ruined the cat??
My mechanic has had no luck with after market cats except a source in Canada that is now out of business
Ordered a Volvo cat and awaiting shipment and replacement
Thx for above suggestions

Who is your Volvo mechanic? Is he in Boston, Comm Ave by any chance?

Spacer between rear O2 sensor (V70 2004 2.4) and cat. Made cat code that compares both O2 values go away. Creates an airspace. Cheap to try.

Not a dealer!

3K for a cat? Where are you getting your prices? FCP has OEM for half of that.
I used after market e-bay cat on my 850 that worked out fine. If You're near Boston, go to a Lou's Custom Exhaust near you. I used the one in Lynn,
Call for a quote- ask if they'll install your ebay cat.

3K? Ouch! Who quoted that? Go elsewhere!

I just got a cat for my 1996 850 from swedishcarparts.com about $500. They have several different units from $475 to $747, with variations on forward flange, and twists and turns in shape. No brand names, but an inked name on the unit is "Fisher", Canada. When I called to follow up on discrepancy between website photo and my own flange shape, they assured me it would be the correct flange and threw the gasket into the order. It does appear to be the correct flange now that I received the cat. Normal shipping was about a 10 days. Haven't installed it yet, so the final verdict is not in.
