Re: $2,200 to repair leaking power steering rack....

Hey Guys. I know this may sound kinda crazy, but I had the same problem with my s70. It was at the age that the fix wasn't going to be worth doing for the cost. I figured if I could squeeze a week or so out of it, I could find a deal on a new car. At this point the fluid was pouring out of the rack ...

Re: 2000 Volvo S80 IMMOBILIZER

I had a similar problem with my 2000 S70. I found that if I flipped the key over it would usually start. I'm not sure if it is the same issue, but we did determine it was a key issue. Rather than paying to get it fixed or new keys, when it wouldn't start I would just flip the key. Perhaps this will ...

CD not ejecting HU-850

Just a tip that I have found out about releasing a CD in HU-850. My CD player was saying ejecting, but nothing was happening. There was no noise or CD error. I couldn't load another CD. I looked everywhere online and most places said to go to the dealer. I am way too cheap for that, and before I sta...

I really wanted that car

I recently was in the market for an s80. I drive a lot so I always buy used with 40-60,000 miles. I did my research online and went off to Miller Volvo in NH to drive a car. I drove the car and liked it. I also took it to my mechanic to take a look. We found some leaking fluid underneath, looked lik...

Rims

Hi,

Does anyone know if the rims are the same size for a 1999 and a 2005 S80? I am looking for some winter rims and want to make sure they will be the same. My car is a FWD (2005). Not sure what the donor car was. Are there any problems with using these rims? What do I need to know?

Thanks

2005 volvo s80 transmission

Hi All, I'm new to the board but not to Volvos. I have recently purchased a s80 with about 40,000 miles. I noticed today when parking that the vehicle in park acted as neutral. I shifted into reverse and it continued to roll forward. I tried to reproduce this problem, but couldn't. I searched the we...
