Re: Common Issues With V70s, XC70s? Looking To Purchase Pre-Owned

If you don’t need the wagon also consider the P3 S80 in T6 or T8 Trim. Gives you AWD. Very nice ride with roomy trunk. As mentioned above, once you get to 100k miles you need to ensure all the fluids are replaced, plugs, filters etc. It’s surprising how often you search for a used car and find maint...

Re: 2010 S80 T6 water in passenger side - not sure it’s sunroof

Windshield had to be replaced. For anyone with water issues on the P3 chassis the windshield should be the first thing checked. From the inside of the car push outward and see if it lifts. If you see movement then water/moisture is getting in. Or take a bucket of water and pour along the top seam of...

Re: 2010 S80 T6 water in passenger side - not sure it’s sunroof

That's exactly how I found my leak. I poured water into the sunroof drain and accidentally got water on the windshield. With the A-Pillar cover off and head liner pryed open a bit I saw water rolling along the glass edge towards A-Pillar from the windshield seam! However I did not have water behind...

Re: 2010 S80 T6 water in passenger side - not sure it’s sunroof

So it looks like you found the solution? "the drain up by the roof is off". I recently went through all this with my 2007 S80 3.2, I was replacing parking brake cables on the driver's side and found lots of water under the carpet. After going through what you went through, chasing the dra...

Re: leak in windshield reservoir

On the 2010 S80 you have to remove the bumper cover to get to the top of the tank where the full tube enters the tank. You definitely need to take the cover off to replace the tank. The tubing itself you need to remove the headlight, bottom splash shield that attaches to front cover, and the inner f...

Re: 2010 S80 T6 water in passenger side - not sure it’s sunroof

Sorry I can't help with the locations, but if you need a way to unclog them, I found very long zip ties to be ideal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8-_H8U7ahw I’ve got a wire to use if/when I can find where it comes out. Not a lot of info on the P3 S80 compared the the XC60/90. I did find that th...

Re: 2010 S80 T6 water in passenger side - not sure it’s sunroof

I can’t find the location of the tube on the passenger A pillar once it goes below the dash. It’s also not obvious where is comes out below as I can’t locate it in the cowl. I see damp insulation near the A pillar passenger side so right now leading clue is it’s the right side sunroof drain. But it’...

Re: Volvo Synthetic oil campaign 2016 - warranty requirement?

I do 5k miles synthetic changes. No way would I do 10k on a turbo car.

Now that US cars have gone down the Turbo path the last 8-10 years those vehicles are also seeing PCV issues due to long drain intervals.

For something so cheap and easy to do, short drain intervals are a no brainer.

Re: leak in windshield reservoir

Volvo Sweden has a good YouTube video on removing the front bumper cover when he fixed his headlight wipers. The hoses on the tank to the wipers are high pressure not your regular washer fluid tubing. There are several leak points on the system. Can be the tubing going to the headlight washers or ca...
