T6 Sudden loss of compression :(

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

I wish I had done some more preliminary work before replacing the engine with courtesy of Erie Vo Vo. My symptoms were similar. Sudden lose of power with a skip at idle. I just presumed I sucked a valve. One cylinder just went south. When I researched the price for a rebuilt head and engine replacement it was a wash. Check carefully removing the head, it looked like a bear of a job. All is well since engine replacement. 215,000 miles.

Keep us posted.
