Hi All,

Watch this video I made. I have the exact same issue with Volvo original parts. There must be a bad batch of Volvo coolant tanks.

I compared two new tanks and saw that the first new one I bought was bad. Watch the vid here where I test it by placing the tank up side down to trick the car ...

Hi All, check this video out I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HcOwWHtxTA

Even though the float may go all the way up, the mechanism might be bad. I tested a bad tank (new one) with another coolant tank I bought. I compared the two in the video and found that the first new tank I bought was ...

This thread is so old but I thought I'd comment anyway. Check out my video here:

I bought this new tank online and it was a Volvo genuine coolant tank. After 10 days it went bad. I did this test where I compared it to a new tank and I realized the tanks ...

If anyone out there wants an s80, make sure you get one where the turbos are ...

Hi abdomar528,

Thank you for the great write up. What lead to the turbo replacement and how did you diagnose it? How many miles do you have on your S80T6?

Don't waste your time rebuilding these tiny turbos if they are bad. Just replace them both.

Well ...

It sounds like you are having a very big air leak. You should look for leaking anywhere there is a clamp or rubber hose.

Hello buddy,

I have a very similar problem with my car. There are times when I put the indicator on and it doesn't work. Then it double clicks faster than normal then cuts off again. I think I know how to fix this.

Pretty much what you gotta do is dismantle the indicator assembly and clean out all ...

Dear fellow S80 owners. I am doing this write up because there are not many write up's on turbo related posts. I will post some links that were helpful to me, which lead me to do this complete turbo replacement write up.

This link is useful if you only need to replace the return line seals: http ...

I was wondering if there was a way to strip the turbos on this car without significant issues. As everyone knows, they are the TD03-08G's.

My concerns:
Will I loose fuel economy? Im thinking I will gain as there will be no turbo lag.
Will the ECU freak out?
What to do with the turbo control valve ...
