"...got a terrible feeling about the Pump..."

Why? What symptoms?

"...buy a pressure gauge and do the job myself (testing)..."

Yes, and you'll need a flexible line and also a pipe thread fitting to fit your '90 block (think it's a metric thread but bet it's available).

Still, if you're a brickhead and really want to dive in, and if you have other Volvos, then it's probably a good investment and a valuable learning experience.

"...local dealer wants $75.00 just to test the oil pressure. That's a LOT ridiculous..."

Well, yes and no. On one hand, $75 is probably an hour's labor charge. On the other hand, most dealers' hourly rates ARE ridiculous.

I'd guess you could buy your own pressure gauge 'n hardware for less than the dealer's hourly charge.
