Re: S60 starts, but shuts down after a few secons

Does it idle any? How does it act when it's running? Do you have any messages or a CEL?

Re: One of my wheels fell off

I've been a machinist for 15+ years so I think I can help. If the stud you have screws in both M12/1.75 and 1/2-13 nut then I'm bout 90%+ sure that you have a M12/1.75 stud.

Re: Purchasing 2001 S80

I have a 2001 S80 T6 Executive and did a lot research before I made the purchase. It seems that most of the tranny problems were on the 99-00 models. It seems that every time someone put one in the shop to have the tranny fixed the dealership replaced the upper motor mount and front lower right. Due...

Re: S-80 Transmission Service URGENT! message

A Volvo mechanic told me once that there are several things that can cause transmission service urgent message to apear. I would get the codes pulled to see what they say. First thing I would think is the shift solenoid may have a problem. Have you shifted it manually, if so how does it act then. Th...

Re: Recommend tires for a 2000 S80

Recently I have been doing some research and It looks like the Hankook Ventus I mentioned are being phased out. The problem with that is if anyone buys them you could run into problems if you have a warranty issue. After more digging and some accumulative opinions I am going with a touring tire on m...

Re: Recommend tires for a 2000 S80

This site has been a help to me in the past so I'm just trying to return it when I can. If you do have 17" wheels here's a link for you.

Re: Help!! Recommend tires for a 2000 S80

I have a 2001 S80 T6 Executive and my brother has a 2000 S80 T6. I would recommend Hankook Ventus HRII 405 tires. 225/50R17 if you have the factory 17" wheels. I had a set of these on my 2001 Eclispse GT for about a week and loved them till I hit a deer and totaled the car. I sold the tires to ...
