Hello,
Just saying hi and introducing myself. I'm Bill from Minnesota. I just purchased my first Volvo, and love it. It came with some issues, hopefully nothing major. Here is what I purchased:
2002 S80 T6 with the 2.9L twin turbo. it has 208K miles on it. It needed a battery, tires and has a noisy starter. It runs very strong. I do have the Vacuum pump that runs after the key shuts off issue, which I plan on working on today. I hope its a broken line, and not the brake booster! Wish me luck!!!
I plan on using this forum for lots of help to keep this car on the road for many more miles. I do plan on changing the timing belt, the pulleys and water pump at some time in the near future.
Bill

Welcome to MVS, Bill. Good looking S80 you have there. My dad had a '99, and it seemed to be made for road trips. Long legs, quiet, effortless. He's since sold it, but it was a great cruiser.
