Brake Booster shop time? Engine surging-

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

Brake Booster shop time? Engine surging-

Post by hheaton »

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the shop time is on replacing the brake booster on a 2000 S80? Also, the engine is still surging intermittently even after cleaning the throttle body module; any ideas?

For a LHD car shop time is 2.5 hours. For RHD it is 3.4 hours.

If you are having booster problems it could be that it is creating a vacuum problem which could cause engine surge.

Makes perfect sense on the surging, thank you Bill!!!
I am going to have someone else do the booster; it is way over my head to try and tackle. I appreciate having a guide on what to expect to pay for labor-
