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

Fluid and Filter Change

Post by Jah-Sun »

Good Day Mates! I just recently did a fluid and filter change because my S80 would stop shifting after a few minutes and I would have to park the vehicle for a coulple of minutes before it would shift again.
Well after the fluid and filter change it was shifting "beautifully" and the "Service Transmission Urgent" error went away. Wowever this morning during my commute I noticed some slipping. The rpm is going higher than normal with the vehicle having less power.
And now the code is back.
Any suggestions?

Find out what the code is. You will need to go to someone that has a VIDA or VADIS interface, so Volvo dealer or indy. It might be something as simple as a lockup solenoid, or a clutch pack going. Impossible to say.

How is the current fluid level and condition? What fluid did you use?
Also need to know year of your car and the motor that's in it!
