Eyeing the S80 - what to watch out for?

Post by CorgB »

I want to replace my 2005 S60 2.5T in the next 4-6 months and am looking at the 6 cyl. S80s from 2008-2014 that are being offered, often pretty cheap.
Which models and model years are there to avoid?

Thanks

I believe all those have the READ Assembly. It's one reason I have opted not to buy the 3.2 and 3.0 of that vintage. Son and I both like the look but will only consider a V8.

Volvo 09 S80 3.2 i was getting an error code P0190 which is a pressure sensor. I replaced that now i'm getting error code P0180 which is the Temp sensor. The information i'm reading is confusing and is telling me to replace the pressure sensor but i know that is good because i just replaced it. Not sure what i need to do.
thanks Dennis
