Okay I will try replacing bulbs and aiming. I've only had the car for just over a year so I don't know how old the bulbs are. I believe the S60 lenses I stumbled upon were glass . . . 2000-2010. ebay and CARiD has a couple aftermarket solutions for entire headlight assembly or new aftermarket lens o...

Opening and re-sealing headlights:

I will need to muster some courage, but this would allow me to buy a slightly more common used halogen housing for the donor lens. Far better would be a new lens. I only found them for the S60.

Okay that sounds pretty reasonable. I have already put LEDs in the high beam position and they're great. The issue I had with the HIDs, believe it or not is they don't seem very bright . . . distance down the road is lacking in my opinion anyway. Maybe I should get them aimed at the dealer. I have n...

Hi All, It's been a while since I posted and actually have a couple of questions regarding the active HID headlights - 2008 S80 V8. First off I have a nasty crack in one headlight lens. I believe someone backed into it and drove off. It's sealed for now with epoxy which of course has started to yell...

Hi All, I had a look at the "major repairs for s80's" topic and looked around and the impression i get is that there are not a lot of concerns about the v8 engines. Am I correct or not ? ? Balance shaft issue seems to be managable and after '06 not a problem. Anything else? I am putting pr...

So what happened with this ? ? I was looking through service receipts for my car the other day and there was a past complaint to the dealer about radio not working. They repaired it at the dealer by installing software. It wasn't that expensive, around $100 (several years ago) so maybe get your deal...

I opted to go to the dealer and pay up - 2007 onward have different parts and that is the point where the availability of aftermarket declines. You're probably right that there are some decent second hand sources but at the moment i wanted to be sure to have a 100% good part. I've been picking at th...

I agree it's strange. I'm not finding aftermarket, just Volvo ones - pre 2007 there are lots of options but not after that year. Yes I was going to bring it to the dealer but would be surprised if they do anything for me. No record of an accident in the used vehicle information package when I bought...

I read somewhere on these forums that they are prone to blowing speakers. Don't know if that's true or not but it would seem that you could pull one of the interior door skins - like the front passenger side and connect a known good speaker if you have one, or swap speakers. The audio system uses fi...

Well here's an update . . . I made some assumptions about what I might be dealing with based on the age of the car and the location of the brake fluid leak. I got ready with flex lines, rear stay and trailing arm bushings for both sides of the car. The passenger side where I had the brake fluid leak...
