Re: Coolant overflow

Vegas has the mojo. Replaced cap and problem appears to be solved. Can't explain it, but I simply replaced to evap tank cap and coolant level remains steady. Go figure.

Re: Coolant overflow

Thanks Vegas. I'll try that. There are some hairline cracks in the underside of the cap (black portion) - my mechanic said not to worry about them. How does the cap work? It looks like the white portion of the underside can be pushed up if the pressure gets too high. When that happens, where does th...

Coolant overflow

Need some opinions please....within a minute or so of stopping in my driveway this afternoon, the coolant began belching up into the expansion tank. Within another couple of minutes it began spewing out from under the tank cap. While on the way home, the temp gage did not indicate overheating, but t...

Coolant disappearing

My 99 S80 runs hot within in just a few miles of driving. The coolant bottle will be completely empty and take maybe a 1/2 gallon to refill. I have not found any visible leaking, no white smoke, and the oil does not appear to be milky. Any suggestions?

Re: S80 T6 Overheating

Where is the fan module? Did you repalce it and did this solve the problem? My 1999 is doing something similar.

Remote won't work

Here's a problem for all you pros - I replaced two items on my 99 S80. The inside rear view mirror and the drivers door lock actuator. Both parts came from a dismantler - they were not new parts. Now my remote will not unlock/lock the doors, trunk, nothing. I was told by the dealer the actuator was ...

Window regulator arm

The front passenger window on my 99 S80 is out of whack. I pulled the panel off and it appears that the front regulator arm is out of alignment. It appears to be 20 to 30 degrees lower than it should be. In other words, when the rear arm pushes the window up all the way, the front arm is well below ...
