Thanks very much I saved a bundle.
Should I start using synthetic oil? Can this damage the motor in any way since I have not used it prior?
Should I have the transmission flushed at the dealer? They say NO.
I do all the reccomended service at the delae so the car has been pampered...so to speak.
The dealer claims this motor is the best Volvo ever made. Really?
Tranny flushes depend on the severity of the operating conditions.
Your dealer would know best.
The 5 cyl engine has been in service since 1992 and is an excellent motor.
Don't know exactly what you are talking about.
I have an 07 S80 and it doesn't have any door handle lights.
I will look at one of our 08's.
Any clue to what this loud vibrating noise is when I turn my heat/defrost on?
Thanks Much!
The interior of this car is much too dark at night for my taste. Compared to other cars, the ceiling LED ambiente lights in the S80 are useless. Is it possible to make them bighter?
I also don't have any complaints about the interior illumination.
Sometimes, I turn down the instrument lights.
FAIK, there isn't any way to change the ambient light level.

For 2008 all S80's have a spare.
which engine?
in any case, you might shop around for an S60 instead.

Thanks :P
Best performance?
Best price?
I found refills at Autozone. They are Anco N22R and N24R. $6 for a pkg of 2 of each length. Found an easy way to remove the old refills-use a sharp knife to cut back about 1/2" to where the clip fits in a recess in the blade. I did have to slightly spread the clips on one wiper blade, but not on the other one.
Did Sam's have refills or the blade assembly? On my S80, the drivers side blade is 24" and pass side is 22"
"starting failed, please try again" came up. She tried a second time and nothing. On the third try, it started normally.
I just started the car at home and it started normally. Checked for any stored error codes or messages and it said "0 messages".
It is a 2003 S80 with 30,000 miles and has been trouble free.
Has anyone experienced this or know what would cause it?
Thanks,
Glad to hear of the refills at Autozone. At Sam's they only had the complete wiper. On the lengths I was quoting from memory so I'm sure you are correct. I saved my old wiper blades because they have the wing that helps hold the blade against the glass surface. Thanks for the info.
I gave the wrong part numbers for the wiper refills. They should be W22R and W24R. First, I tried the N refills and they were too loose.
The other stores showed the N series would fit. They will go in but are very loose.
Would really appreciate your thoughts.
Also, is there any reason to buy a 2005 versus a 2006 from a reliabilty stand-point.
I think it was last available in the 04 T6.
Any thoughts on 2005 versus 2006? I know it is the same car but some years do better than others.
Thanks
However, because of their treadwear rating, they tend to wear out in 30,000 miles or so.
They are quiet and provide great ride and handling.
If you want something that lasts longer, try Falkens or Nitto's.
They are noisier however.
There weren't any changes between 05 and 06.
Have to go w/ the new 07 body if you want a much better turning radius.
I am going to do the oil change and plugs. Should I do anything else special?
Thanks

Anyone else had this experience? Fix, rather than complete replacement?
It's not expensive.
Suddenly over the past 3 months, Message of Add Coolant comes on. It seems to run ok. You can smell the raditor when this happens. I add coolant and the light goes off. Coolant is never on the ground??
Does anyone else know what is going on.
Or it could be the radiator has a small leak.
over flow bottle replaced...and then the thermostat..
Still have a small issue....but it still goes....and its paid for!!
One of the options I am considering is the Sports package. Does this really make a great difference in handling or riding comfort?
Wow.
2008 S80 DOES come w/ a spare.
Thanks for your help! doctor dick.
