Re: window regulator replacement
With no experience it would be a tough job. The part itself is around $200. You have to take the door apart, drill out a bunch of rivets, place the part, and reinstall the rivets to hold the regulator in place. I did it on a 1999 S80 and it took about 3 hours. I had help from a pretty handy guy and ...

Re: 2002 Volvo S80
It is not a bad job. You have to remove the black shroud that is in front of the instrument cluster. There are 2 torx screws on the top and 2 on the bottom. Then you remove the instrument cluster itself. There are 4 torx screws, one at each corner. Be careful not to drop the bottom 2 when removing ...

Re: 2001 S80 Tool for serpentine belt removal
You can do it yourself. I never did it before and took about 2.5 hours to remove it and 1.5 hours to put it back in. I used a breaker bar and 15 or 16mm socket to move the tension pulley. Once you release the pressure the belt comes right off. They have a supertine belt tool at Harbor Freight for ...

Re: Plastic Rivets holding door panel in place
I picked up a package of universal ones at Discount Auto for 6 for $2.99. I think they have them at Pep Boys also. I took one good one there and picked the universal one that was the same size. They worked great.
I think they are around $3 at the dealer, which is not that bad.
Good Luck, Dr Dootz

Re: S80 Headlamp wipers
Thanks, guys. You are correct. When you use the washer the wipers on the headlights cycle. I tried it and it works.
Thanks for your quick response.

S80 Headlamp wipers
This may be simple but what controls the wipers on the S80 headlamps.
I could not find anything in the manual and they don't seem to ever go on.
Thanks for your help with this.

Re: 2001 S80 T6 - battery dead (again) when car is turned off
It could be the start of an alternator issue. You can do a basic alternator check with a voltmeter. If you don't have one you can get one at Harbor Freight for around $5. The battery is in the trunk but there is a battery "port" under the hood towards the back on the driver side under a red plastic ...

Re: rack n pinion question
There is no software update for the steering rack. Volvo also calls it steering gear. Mine was leaking a quart every 40 miles. I just had it done this week on my S80 by a Indy shop. Dealer wanted $1100 for part and $700 for installation. Indy got used part for $300 and installed it for $450. It is ...

Re: Clock light
There are 6 bulbs that light up different areas. There is one directly behind the clock display. The bulb assembly is around $6.50. On the S80, there are 2 screws that hold the black plastic shroud around the display. Then there are 4 T20 screws that hold the instrument module in. It pulls right out ...
