00 S80 t6-AC Clutch Won't Engage

Good day to all. I have a 00 S80 that the AC clutch will not engage. I've owned the car about a year and it has never worked. This weekend, I put a new clutch kit on and made the gap as tight as possible without rubbing the pulley so it should be within spec. I checked the fuses under the hood and ...

Re: Still in Limp Mode

I had major issues with my S80 being in limp mode until I switched the O2 sensor connectors. Not sure this will fix your car though.

00 S80 T6 Cannot Disengage Traction Control

Good day. I have a 2000 S80 T6 and I cannot get the traction control to turn off. Not a huge deal in every day driving, but I need it to be off to have the emissions test done. Is there a fuse or relay I can remove temporarily to get the emissions test done? If pulling a fuse/relay is an option ...

Re: 2000 S80 t6-No Power Brakes, Won't Accelerate, Black Smo

I THINK I figured it out. I had the O2's backwards (sensor 1, bank 2 plugged into bank 1 connector and vise versa). I swapped those plugs around yesterday and drove it today and all is well...so far. Even the power brakes work, which is mind boggling!!

2000 S80 t6-No Power Brakes, Won't Accelerate, Black Smoke

Good day to you all! I am stumped on this one! I've done A LOT of work to this car, and I am ever so slowly getting it to be a functional car. It is a 2000 Volvo S80 t6 and the issue now that is causing me grief is that it has no power brakes, rough idle, black smoke coming out of the exhaust, and ...

Re: 00 s80 Bad ECU?

So...bad ECU. What options do I have? I know I cannot get a used one and throw it in. Is my best bet here: http://www.volvoecm.com?

Re: 00 s80 Bad ECU?

I know everyone is dying for an update so here goes:

Purchased Dice from a supplier off of aliexpress.com for $115. It installed perfectly on my laptop. In working with doublebug, I purchased a used number matching ECU off ebay for $25. He was able to clone the donor ECU and now the temp gauge ...

Re: 00 s80 Bad ECU?

You can get a Dice and have "doublebug" clone your existing ECM. He has done it for me on 2 occasions. You don't need to install Vida. Just need an internet connection and the software he provides.
A used ECM with the same Bosch part number and a removal tool is all you need.


OHHH!!!!! I will ...
