Thanks Paul, I was hoping a new spring valve could be obtained. Things like this, replacing a whole casting with machining, seem so wastefull for the want of a gram of formed rubber. I am thinking the rubber in a small syringe i have for vitamin B shots can be adapted by slicing to same thickness, ...

In the past I was using a spark plug socket with a rubber insert to hold on to the insulator during removal and install. This type of socket prevents the application of the dielectric grease on the top of the insulator Because I wanted to put dielectric grease on the insulator I bought the following...

The PDF in this link is a good place to start.

Note: the Turbo Engine is slightly different, the PDF is for the 3.2

MVS readers The S80 is amazing. Heated seats in the front and back. Extremely reliable and dependable. I don't get to drive it that much (My Son drives it every day to work) I do get to fix it (But I haven't been doing much of that because it just keeps going) Cost update 2/26/2020 $7400 --- Purchas...

Congrats on the S80 purchase My Son is driving the 2010 S80 that I bought for him. I do get to fix it. (although it doesn’t require much fixing) Back to the problem at hand First Roberts suggestion is an excellent starting point. I looked on FCP and it seems that there are two pumps one for the wind...

Take a look at this video It’s for a XC70 but I suspect it’s similar to the S80 If it is similar then one of the pumps is accessible by removing the liner from the wheel well But the other one doesn’t seem to be https://youtu.be/zNcD67ib4Tk Thanks Paul PS is you want to watch fun Volvo repair videos...

I own two 3.2s and they both run flawlessly If I were in your position I would start with denso iridium spark plugs Denso 5344 IKH20 Iridium Power - single fine tip (This is what I use for both of my 3.2's a 2008 and a 2010) or Denso 4704 IKH20TT Iridium TT - twin tip (This is what my friend is usin...

Take a look at this eBay transmission for pictures of the breather tube https://www.ebay.com/p/18018998398?iid=202655244949&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=202655244949&targetid=884674349721&device=t&mktype=pla&googleloc=906132...

I believe that you have single piston ATE style calipers. If that's not true then you can ignore the rest of this post. 1. Make sure that the slide pins are very clean 2. Use a Silicone Grease on the bushing that the slide pins are inserted into (I prefer Silaramic by CRC) 3. Replace the bushings if...
