What did I break?

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

What did I break?

Post by shailey »

Hi,

I'm attempting my first timing belt change on a 2005 S80 T6. I was removing the timing belt cover, heard a "pop" and saw coolant dripping out of this thing, (see image). What did I break? How do I replace it?

Temp sensor possibly. If its not done already, I would do thermstat while you are in there. Plus while you are doing the thermostat you will likely get a better view of what's broken.

FYI,

It was some cheap plastic elbow that connects the t-stat housing to the coolant reservoir via a hose.
