had a mild crash into the car in front. the passenger airbag deployed, but the driver airbag did not deploy.

How do i determine if the airbags worked properly? Is there a contact a volvo? how are the airbags reloaded?

Here's the damage - thanks for your

an update, i put on the xemodex etm/throttle body, replaced the solenoid, did the pcv breather box replacement and replaced the twin pipes for turbo exhaust...............cured the surging RPMs. (but, unfortunately, the car was then wrecked a few weeks later)

just an update - the xemodex throttle body / etm plus new solenoid did the trick and cured the surging rpm problem - but, then the car was wrecked - ouch - so, i'm trying to figure out whether to part out the car (including the throttle body) or fix it

thanks - got the hood open, just ended up prying it open. so, now i need to figure out whether to try to fix it or not.

here's the engine post accident

any idea how easy/difficult it would be to repair the damage? (i've located a couple of same model cars being parted-out)

i'm exploring parting out my 2000 s80t6 (171k miles). before the fender bender, i put in xemodex throttle body (etm) and new solenoid to fix pulsating throttle (known defect for this model). it was running great before the accident. i also put on new turbo exhaust plastic pipe (double barrel pipe on...

I'm exploring selling as is, or fixing it up. before the fender bender (see pics), it was running great with recently installed xemodex throttle body (etm) and new solenoid (so the rpms don't modulate - a known defect with this model car). 171k miles. I recently installed new turbo exhaust pipes as ...

we had a small fender bender. i'm trying to take the remaining front bumper off to get the hood up so i can decide whether to part it out or try to fix it. i did a lot of recent work on the s80t6 (like xemodex throttle body, new solenoid - so no pulsating throttle problem), so it was running great. ...

thanks - i bought all oem parts from volvo, so i don't think it's because of a cheap part (i guess a defect is possible). the jump and drop in rpms occurs at cruising speed, not when accelerating.

My 2000 s80t6 was shutting off and the RPMs were unstable at low RPM. I did the following to fix the problem: breather replacement kit (not sure if that's the right name for it), new mass air filter (maf), new cvvt solenoid (rewired as suggested on this site), and replaced the two larges plastic pip...

nice thread! thanks! I replaced mine on my 2000 volvo s80t6, and i rewired it in the process as described above. I did this in conjunction with Mass Air Filter (maf) replacement and breather system redo (not sure that's the right phrase for it), in addition to replacing some top pipes. The RPMs quic...
