Blimey. In that case I see why frequent changes of coppers could make sense. When I had the 98 S70 T5 I used the copper. In the other cars, both Honda at the time I used the Iridium.

Alright. Thanks you guys! After reading all this I decide to go with synthetic and I was able to do the oil change. Fairly simple except the oil filter housing, which was stuck on.

I didn't respond as my mind quickly thought no to the steering wheel removal. Still reluctant to tackle it. The steering wheel is easy, it pops off, no puller required.

It is. Not sure if it depends on trim level, but the S80 is similar to the NedCar S40 in that there were many headlight variants.

Yeah...a couple of other members here have said "don't worry about it...it's just a volvo relay alignment thing". So you may be right. And by the way, I think "Pelican Parts" is a pretty interesting company. I've bookmarked them for important information that they consistently have available. And a...

I recently read somewhere that some Volvo boots are round on the outside but is square on the inside. If you can imagine an exaggerated four point socket. After being unable to resolve the leak the person purchased a Volvo boot and no problems thereafter.

- Take a look it may be the brake booster. Our 2008 had the same buzzing from the booster but it resolved itself. Careful super hot. Almost replaced it. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Volvo-C30/60-BRAKES-Brake_Booster_Vacuum_Pump_Replacement/60-BRAKES-Brake_Booster_Vacuum_Pump_Replacement...

I would just unscrew it and if it starts to seep tighten it back up and evacuate the system and recycle the refrigerant. https://repairpal.com/estimator/volvo/s60/air-conditioning-refrigerant-pressure-switch-replacem...

I believe every car should have a drive cycle where the computer checks for faults. As Super says if the computer sees that the reading is Okay it will remove the light / fault code.

Power steering fluid quality:ATF. http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1998/1998_sv70/98sv70_133.htm#pg134 - Thanks for the information. Sorry, I was thinking of Type F which is also red and by Ford. I knew there was a Ford red transmission that was not compatible with others and couldn't think of i...

...I believe the 98 calls for DEX III (transmission fluid) in the powersteering so the Havoline covers the DEX III and 3309 for the transmission also. ATF spec doesn't matter for power steering. The most important thing is that it's red ATF. Just regular red ATF is fine. I think Mercon and others a...

The parts dept at Volvo dealer said DOT 3 ps fluid should work. True or not true? No one uses the term DOT 3 for transmission fluid. The term is used for brake fluids DOT 3, DOT 4 or both. The 98's should use DEX III. I've used Havoline (EDIT: Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF) in the following for ...

I thought the 1st Gen S80 were P2's. My C30 is a P1?

You are correct. 1st generation (1998-2006) S80 is the first P2 car Volvo produced. June

Had me confused there for a bit. Thanks June.

The so called 'Professional' parts are the worst quality out there, same as no name chinese brands. The genuine bushing is top quality. I can tell I used one for XC90 on my 2003 S60, and Volvo lists it good for XC70 as well, not sure if P1 S80 is different or not. From Georgeandkira's post it looks...

The poly bushings I had pressed into my control arms remains the BEST thing I ever did to a car.

Glad you shared!
How long in use?
No squeaks?
Which brand?
How about the LCA rear bushing?

I may be changing the bushings on the 03 S80 T6. Thanks.
