An educated guess:

By the time you buy and WAIT to get parts from Volvo, it will probably
be more cost effective to repower with anything but Volvo.

Volvo is definitely not bashful about the prices they ask for
replacement parts.

Be prepared to wait till the gates of Hell freeze shut to get the
parts.

Might take a look at Beta.
