Re: 2004 S80 goes into limp mode with the following codes,

Volvo does a lot of different stuff than what I'm used to and I wouldn't put it past them to require a new ETB to need programming.
I think they only require programming on things like the Alarm for obvious reasons, and major electronic systems like a ECU or CEM and stuff like that were they have ...

Re: 1999 S80 T6 low/rough idle

Ok guys, So today the car still requires gas to start it and as before I still have to make sure that after its on it gets up around 1k before I can let off the gas and then it will go down to 500rpm and idle on its own.
A cold start should be idling around 1200rpm or so and it wont budge past ...

Re: New member searching for advice on first car

The S80 2.5T 5cyl is a much better engine than the older ones, Nothing against that.
The S80 is 100% safer than a Toyota, As far as the reliability on that specific S80 I don't know.

The S80 is guaranteed more complicated and expensive than any Toyota.
Now, my Volvo is going to make me biased here ...

Re: Best DIY scantool software for 03 S80?

DICE+VIDA onkine are all just pirated discs of the program and a copy of the machine.

It's all a gamble though ...

1999 S80 T6 low/rough idle

As the title says, the car at idle is very rough and shakes the interior.
The rpm also seems low @ 500rpm

To start the car I have to press the gas pedal and make sure it starts and let it rev up to 1k before I can let off the gas. Once I let off its back down to 500rpm on its own and that's both ...

Re: 1999 S80-T6 Removing Alternator

Im hoping one of the two or anyone else who's already done this can reply.

How the hell did you get the 17mm bolt out.
I have every last part off and Im about ready to cut the damn clips instead of going after that bolt. But I know in the long run cutting the clips makes my life harder so I won't ...
