Parting out 1999 S80 T6

Hello, everyone! I am parting out my 1999 S80 T6. The color is Moondust Metallic -443 with a tan interior. The engine, ABS module, and ECU are all likely bad, but most of the other parts are in good condition. Many of the parts are new, such as a barely-used Xemodex throttle module, some new turbo ...

Re: control-unit abs/stc part nm 8619538

I also found an auction on Ebay and there it is $60 for a repair to any part, including the one you list. The only problem is that they're often not happy with pre-opened units.

Re: 1999 S80 electrical shut down while driving.

I would second the Battery comment, but it could also be the alternator. If it's the alternator, I just did mine on a 1999 S80 T6 and it was not a terrible job. The battery is pretty simple to replace.

Re: Car does not respond when I press gas (sometimes....))

It really sounds like your throttle is bad. Even if the dealer has cleaned it and reinstalled it, they often don't work, and will result in very similar symptoms to what you are having. I got a unit from Xemodex (http://www.xemodex.com/) and it has worked like a charm after my throttle failed. They ...

Re: Relacing the serpentine belt on 99 non-turbo

I just did this on my 99 T6 as part of another repair. You basically loosen it by slacking off the tensioner with a 14mm wrench or something similar. After it's loose you apparently have to take of the harmonic balancer, according to this. https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t ...

Re: 1999 S80 2.9L cutting out at 2000 RPM

In terms of the ETM, those certainly go bad, even when replaced by Volvo with the new unit and the updated software. Really the only (mostly) permanent solution for these is to buy a redesigned ETM from Xemodex.

In terms of the transmission, even if it's not the problem I would look into replacing ...

Yet another Lifter Problem!

Hello, all! I recently bought a 1999 S80 T6 that was non-running. I replaced the ETM with a Xemodex model (which seems great so far!) and now it starts and runs every time. It does, however, have some loud lifter tick on the passenger side of the engine. It sounds like it may be only coming from one ...

Re: 1999 S80 T6 with 147k almost starts

Ok, so after an oil change etc, I've figured out I need to do the oil pan o-rings job to stop the clicking of my lifters. Anyway, I guess this thread was about needing to get my car to start and I did. To recap: ETM needed replaced. Car now starts!

Re: 1999 S80 T6 with 147k almost starts

So today I finally got it running! I replaced the throttle with a Xemodex model and it starts right up! The MAP sensor does not appear to actually have gone bad, from what I can tell having replaced it with a new one. There is, however, still some sort of loud clicking coming from the engine. When ...

Re: S80 so close, won't start. Help me please!

Well, the thing just started (only once) after i dried out the Air temp sensor and put it back in. I have a scan tool that should show the MAP reading, and it didn't come up with anything, so I think that may be bad after all. When the engine started it had a fairly loud clicking/knocking that ...
