UPDATE: I attempted to take the motor mount out that is located at the crank. I got the front bolt off but the rear one would not come out despite many efforts and penetrating oil. It just was not going to come out. I called in some extra help and we came up with a unique solution. Right above where ...

If you have a volt meter you can check the battery in the car. Otherwise you can take it out and to any number of parts stores and they can put it on their machine and see if it is good or not. If it is good that points to other issues like the alternator. Since you just bought it I would contact ...

I managed to get a hold of a Volvo tech. On the S80 the engine has to be unbolted form the mounts and either lifted or lowered to get the bolt to slide out.

09 S80 V8. I had the lower idler pulley go bad. When I tried to take it out to change it the bolt hits the frame rail. Any ideas on how to get this out?

I am contemplating buying this car. I am very familiar with the old reliable 5cyl fwd. I have not been able to find any information about the AWD drive train and 4.4L V8. Anyone have anything they could tell me about this?

After tracing every hose on the system looking for leaks and replacing a few suspicious lines. I reset the codes and noticed something odd. After clearing codes again I noticed the check engine light came on instantly on start up. That made me a think it could have been electrical since in was ...

I have the same v70 base. I got a recall notice a few years ago that there was a software problem that would cause the car in to limp mode for no reason. It never did it while I was driving thankfully. The dealer will reprogram all affected cars at no charge. In case some one is facing this problem ...
