Thanks

Vibration at 55 to 65 MPH?

I have a problem with my 03 S80 that seems beyond solving. I have had everything done to the suspension system possible but still get a vibration at between 50 and 65 MPH. The shop I use balances the wheels off the car, and of course they come up as complying with spec, so I wonder if it could be a ...

Failed inspection

Just had my 03 S80 inspected and it failed the OBD MONITOR READINESS, CATALYST, EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM, AND THE OXYGEN SYSTEM computer checkoff. Is this something that a do-it-yourselfer could repair? If so would really be grateful for advice about fixing it. Have thirty days to get in compliance. Much ...

Fuel pump failure, 03 S80, 45,506 miles

My wife was in dire need of an automobile( I don't dare say Volvo), so we were fo...

Fuel pump failure, 03 S80

Hi, Just had to have my fuel pump replaced to the tune of well over a thousand dollars. Cost and problem fall in to the "unreal" category. Hard to believe that something as simple as a fuel pump has evolved into a piece of equipment that apparently as complicated as something that is vital...

Electric motor sound? 2003 S80

Hope someone can tell me if this is a problem or not. After I shut the engine down there is a sound that sounds like a small electric motor running. It only lasts for a few seconds, is intermittent, and only happens two or three times after each shut down. I thought it was automatic leveling until I...
