I bought my Volvo S90 just last year, and it is as great as everyone says. I just recently encountered my first problem, the Air Pump. The air pump bracket broke causing the pump to lean onto the engine. A very hot screw melted a whole into the pump. The pump now makes a very loud whistling sound when the pump turns on. I want to know if it is safe to drive with the pump disconnected, or if there is a quick fix to the problem?

I purchased My 1998 S90 with 150,000 miles on it. I found it parked on the side of the road for sale. Considering the Age I expected there to be a few problems and yes it had the Common problems, found an oil leak though it was a rear main however after further investigation found the Flame Trap (PCV Valve for Domestic Cars) to be the culprit replaced and no more leak, had to add a little freon to AC, new brakes, new struts and bushings in front end. and WOW this car now has 185,000 miles on it, it gets 22 mpg, rides and drives better than most new domestic cars......the great thing about this car is the Pre-Ford influence on Quality and Craftsmanship. I would recommend this car to Everyone, however they do require a little tinkering so if you're not car savy plan to spend a fortune at the Dealership they are proud of their investment to train people to work on these cars. if you ever need replacement parts fcpgroton is a great source for most maintenance parts.......
Volvo = Quality, Safety, Care for the Environment
