1G (1998-2006) S80 Forum -

I own an 01' T6, 172 000 Kms (like 90k miles or so i guess?)
Yesterday i was driving along and a message popped up stating "Transmission service urgent".
The worse part, car got stuck in third gear. I switched to manual, still can't get out of third - i flip the gearshift, but nothing happens. I was in a bit of a shock to be honest. Got to a light, turned the car off,...

Hi, I have been a member in this forum as long as I bought a S80. I got a lot of helps here as much as the helps I got from Lexus forum (I use GS300 before). I really thank all of you for giving some useful suggestion. Today I also like to share something with you.

My S80 is 1999 2.5tdi, run 190,000miles already. The problem I had was the engine management light was showed in the dash...

2004 s80. In the past I was able to open the trunk without the keyfob.. just by lifting up on the trunk lock. I double checked the valet setting. Now... with the doors unlocked the only way to open the trunk is with the keyfob. I also noticed that if I come out in the am the trunk is open. Not everytime but I have seen it several times. Do I have a lock problem or problem with a setting? Thanks

Hi Everyone.

Can anyone tell me if there is any problems/differences between USA S80 left hand drive parts (new/used) for installing into right hand drive S80's - ie; air conditioning compressor, etc.

cheers and regards.

Has anyone in here purchased an extended warranty for their Volvo and if so, who were they and are you happy with them...?

Thanks for any help...

I would like to upgrade my radio in my 1999 S80 from the HU611 to the HU 801.

I can buy a used HU801 for $275.00 but I do not know if it is that simple. Are the two systems completely different? Ie. do they use different speakers, do I need to buy the center speaker, does it utilize external amps???? I would like to keep the same factory look and not use an aftermarket head...

I currently have a coolant leak on my 1999 Volvo S80 T6. I have struggled to find a picture so far, but can describe the location. I have investigated this hose and it is the one leaking every now and then Currently Volvo want to charge me for the full hose which will cost $107 (Australian). A bit steep for a hose especially when I only need to extend the hose.

Is it possible to interchange just the sender part of the MAF . I have a S80 D5 and I have put the MAF from an Opal Vectra on it . It works OK , But will they have different values ?

I've got a S80 1999 2.9 which seems to require extended cranking to get it fired into life. If the car has been running and is stopped for a short while it will start again pretty much on the first crank, but if left for a while / overnight will take a good 6+ seconds of cranking before it starts.

I am told by my local dealership that the throttle body housing has been replaced and...

Looking at getting a S80, what kind of mileage can I expect. Looking at all models of S80...

TIA, Tom

I have a S80 with 65,000 miles on it and I am unsure of what services should be done at this time?
also what is recommended at 100,000 miles and when should the timing belt be replaced?
thanks,

just bought a used 99 Volvo S80, T6.

one month after i got it, all gages on car stop working, Service Air bag Urgent Message comes on, and the Brake light and ABS light come on. windows stop working.

Dealership said it was the climate control module and would be $1200 to repair it.

does this sound right?

Having a high quality car, I am very surprised to encounter a low quality bluetooth interface for the mobile telephone. Moreover a NOKIA E70 does not connect to the bluetooth interface. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

My daughter cracked the front passenger side marker assembly light and the dealer quote us $125 for the parts (I can buy the light assembly for $45) and labor to replace it.

Can anyone here tell me step by step how to replace it myself. This price from the dealer seems very high, unless there is a lot of work involved in replacing the light
assembly.

If anyone...

The 99 T6 displays this message. "Position Bulb Failure"

What and where is the Position Bulb? There is no mention in the manual.

Thanks,

I have what I assume is a coolant leak, but I cannot find out where the link is occuring. I read other posts that indicated if the leak was pooling under the floor mats on either the driver or passenger side then it is probably a heater core issue, but I don't have any pooling inside the cabin. When I inspect the engine I can't seem to see any residue on the block or around the overflow...

So I took my '99 s80 into the shop to see if they could figure out where my coolant leak was and they came back to me to say they think it is the water pump not functioning correctly. Of course they mentioned that since it will take a lot of work to get to the water pump, I should replace my timing belt and thermostat as well. That makes sense to me since I have over 130k miles on the car...

Let me start by saying thanks for looking at my post, I am at my wits end. I have a 1999 Volvo s80 T6, 130K miles, it was running fine, then one day it starts up, idles for a few seconds then dies, tried cranking it again to no avail, motor would turn over, but would not start, tried to start a couple times, but would never fire, I ran the battery down, so I hooked my jump box to it and it would...

Hi, im coming up to the 105,000 mile service on the car (on 102) now... I got the car with 97,000 or so on it so iv done nearly 5000 since, and i think its time for my first major servicing of the car...

I figured while im doing work, I can possibly get a headstart on some of the parts I need to change for the 105,000 service... eg. il have the mech inspect the timing belt and so on,...

HELP!! Trunk/Boot light not working, Is there a way of resetting them? ie like when you reset Service light etc?

ALL SORTED, IT WAS THE MICRO SWITCH IN THE BOOT LOCK.

Im trying to install an after market deck in my 99 volvo s80 but there isnt a wiring harness made for that year. ive been told over and over again that i just have to rewire the system, but im not too sure as to which wires to rewire. i know its color coated, but the wires in the car are braided.

I just bought a 2000 Volvo S80 T6. My first Volvo. I'm normally a Honda guy, but I wanted something sorta on the luxury side with a little speed still. My questions are, first:

The power door locks on drivers side front and rear doors don't work. They make noise when I hit the lock button, but they don't lock or unlock (but pass side does). What do you think this could be?...

I need any advice on R and R headlight lenses on my 2004 S80 T6.I have zenon bulbs.I took it to a dealership,but they told me they are only authorized to replace the entire unit,for a cost of $1200 per light plus new software for them.$2800-$3000 total.I bought after market lenses,now I could use any tips I can get.Thank's in advance.

I'm probably going to be buying an S80 this weekend... used, not new. I was looking at the engine specs... 10+:1 compression ratio on the 2.8 twin turbo... I take it that means I'll have to run premium fuel, right?

Thanks,

Ben

My 2002 S80 T6 has a 4sp auto that'll also shift as if it had a manual valve body.

1) Anyone know what model / manufacturer this tranny is?

2) Source for Filter/gasket/seal kit?

3) Refill capacity?

4) Required fluid standards?

Thanks in advance.

Have poor reception on radio. FM does not appear to have a great reception range and Medium (AM?) and Long wave are not received at all, just a lot of background noise. Appears to be a problem with aerial. I am not aware of where it is located and the route fot connections to the radio.

Hi, is there anyone who met this problem before?

My 1999 S80 2.5TDI got problem which the power steering fluids came out due to a leak on a connected pipe. Today RAC came and found it and fixed. When we refilled the power steering fluid into, and turn on engine and try the steer, I can heard noise from the power steering pump. The guy told me to fix the pump problem as soon as posible....

Okay I have a 99 S80 T6 and I have a HU-801 installed with a single in-dash CD. Now I have seen it a couple of times on the web (i.e. cardomain.com) and I have seen on ebay a wiring harness for the car and I am now seriously considering getting a double-din unit for my car. The stereo that I want will be a double-din touchscreen with sat nav and so forth.

Please help me with this problem: My S80 starts and drives fine on autogas - even in very cold 3-4 degrees outside. Then after a while its stalls by cutting off the engine compleletly.
When I switch immediatly to petrol; it continues to work fine. I have tried switching back to auto-gas to find out the engine cuts off me completly.

Can any one tell me what to do with it; before I...

Hi. Recently my 2004 S80 have been acting strangely.
When I turned the ignition on the Boot Open warning would come on, and indeed the boot was open. It seemed initially that using the remote key to open the doors was the problem, but then I noted that it would happen if I used the key itself, or the extra key, so the unlocking mechanism seemed to be the problem.
To make matters even...

Volvo of Orange County is offering a great deal on ebay on a complete fog light kit (both fog lights with bulbs, relay, fuse, switch button & hardware BRAND NEW) for a heck of a deal! Less than what a single light costs. I ordered them & had them the next day! Just FYI, the only difference on a 99 is apparently the color of the switch button. If you don't want to do ebay,...

Yesterday I was driving in Boston and was squeezed to the right by another driver and swiped a barrier that hit my passenger side mirror. The mirror folded in, the glass poped out but stayed attached by the wires, the front facing plastic body part disappeared. I was able to pop the glass mirror back into position and the electronic adjustment works OK in all directions. Where can I get the...

I just bought an '04 S80 and the car idles at around 7000 to 8000 RPM, is this normal. I normally drive a Chevy Pickup which idles at under 5000 RPMs, so it seems high to me.

Hi, (1999 S80 T6)

I've tried to search for the following problem in this forum without luck. Maybe I'm the only one with this problem. When applying a slight pressure to the brakes I get a squiky/chirping noise from the area underneath the dashboard near the climate fan. If I brake heavily, the sound is not there. The sound only happens when the fan is on. The sound does not...
