Re: Rim compatability question

They have the same five bolt lug bolt pattern and are interchangeable. As long as the wheels are the same size, you should be good to go!

Re: timing belt job

I thought the timing belt replacement schedule was at the 105,000 mile service?

The car will be 17 years old by the time I reach 105,000 miles (!), as I only put on around 3000 miles a year. However,the car is approaching ten years old, so I figure better safe than sorry. It's peace of mind and ...

timing belt job

I have a 2001 S80 2.9 with 74K miles. I'm looking to have the timing belt replaced soon. Does anybody know how much a job like that costs? Should it be done by a Volvo dealer or can I trust an Indy shop to have it done properly? Also, is it recommended that the water pump be replaced at the same ...

Re: Recomend Best Tires

I've been very happy with the Falken Z 912. Good tire, good price.

Re: Rims

They will fit. Just check whether they're the same size wheels. They will either be 16 or 17".

Re: 2002 S80 shock longevity??

Mine were pretty much shot at 73K miles, which is when I had the struts and shocks replaced. Made a helluva difference. She rides like a brand new car now.

Refurbished Wheels

Just thought I'd throw this out -
I just bought a set of refurbished Volvo "Canopus" 17" wheels for my S80 from a firm in Detroit, MI called PRO WHEELS. I found them on eBay, and boy, what a great experience. The wheels look brand new, they were shipped free of charge via FedEx Ground and they were ...

Re: Tire recommendations - S80

I've decided to go with the 17" Falken Ziex ZE-912 s. It was rated #1 spot in Consumer Reports ratings for UHP tires. The reviews I've read online suggest it has a very good ride and grip and it's one of the best priced tires in its catagory as well - about $116 (Discount Tire). Its only critical ...

Tire recommendations - S80

I just bought new Volvo OEM 17"X7" alloy wheels -"Canopus" to replace my factory installed 16" wheels. I wanted to go "up" in size and I just like the clean and simple look of the Canopus wheel style. Looks more Scandinavian to me. Since I have to buy a new set of larger tires, I was wondering if ...

Transmission issues: T6 vs. 2.9

Hi - new here. I noticed quite a few postings about transmission problems with the S80. Are there more problems associated with the T6 transmission (since it's more complex) compared to the 2.9? I just bought a 2.9 with 73K miles. The transmission shifts very smoothly, but I'm just wondering if ...
