Test drive Volvo S80 2003 - 2006 sedan
Volvo S80
The other day, Volvo S80 has been hit for five years. Solid age, solid passengers, solid parking lots near banks and entrances of the Moscow City Hall. The main share of repair experience falls on the first couple of years of production S80. This is explained by the fact that the model was launched into the market somewhat damp and her childhood illness began to suddenly be found. Their history, of course, was caught, they made diagnoses-and somewhere by 2000-2001 they successfully cured. True, not everything managed to overcome once and for all, like chickenpox or measles - sometimes relapses happen. In three -year -olds - rarely. For more new ones, it is extremely rare - these, as they say, are already vaccinated.
By the way, there are not so many children's ailments in the Volvo S80 - to count them, there are enough fingers on their hands.
DISEASE HISTORY. Children's disease N1: Stabilizers' racks began to knock sometimes to the first, in other words, to 15 thousand km of run, but more often-to 30-40 thousand km. As a rule, this happened in T6 machines with a 2.8-liter 272-horsepower turbocharged engine, and, for example, in those equipped with 2.4-litrous, such trouble was almost not observed. In general, childhood diseases of the chassis and motor parts are more characteristic of T6, as for the most severe and loaded version. The treatment of this ailments is not difficult: the front stand of the stabilizer costs $ 75, the back is $ 81 and $ 15 will be taken from you for replacing each.
Children's disease N2. The mechanisms of the windows - mainly the front ones. Now it is almost never found, but until 2000 someone was lucky so that I had to change the windows twice back in warranty age. The reasons are as follows: firstly, the glasses are strongly curved and require a large, in a hollow/exhaust force; Secondly, the features of the body aerodynamics are such that the side windows are quickly polluted, and the dirt, of course, does not contribute to the glide of the glass according to sealing elements. The driver's windows costs $ 200, and its replacement - $ 45.
Children's disease N3 - ball supports. There are no special comments here - everything is explained by our roads and inaccurate riding of individual drivers. For iron it is necessary to pay $ 81, for work - $ 49. It is worth noting that the S80 ball supports in recent years have been significantly strengthened - experience has been taken into account.
Children's disease N4. Automatic transmission software - software, as programmers call it. If it fails, the automatic box behaves inadequately - in particular, the car suddenly begins to twitch not only in torn city driving modes, but even in stable tracks. With the lightest failure, the software pump will cost $ 15. But if the case is heavy, then Total RELOAD may be required (general rebooting) - this is done through a large Volvo computer in goetborg. Of course, you don’t need to go there, but for the request of the matrix and for all the necessary operations you will have to lay out on the service up to $ 250. Along the way, we note that the most massive soft pumps are not associated at all with the gearbox and not with something just as serious, but with a banal replacement of the lost key fobs. It costs $ 40-50.
Children's disease N5. Mass-meter-air flow sensor. It is a weak link in it, according to the electrical resistance of which the required amount of air supplied to the engine is determined. Replacing the mass-meter is a bloom, the work is estimated only at $ 15. But the mass-meters themselves are very expensive. For the T6 version, this thing costs $ 563 if the car is produced until 2002, and $ 578 - if after. As for the mass-meter for the 2.4-liter eighties, the numbers here are as follows: $ 103-for production machines until 2002 (it was much more expensive, but recently the official service sharply reduced the price of this unit for old cars) and $ 563-at those made after 2002. One consolation, although considerable: this misfortune is no longer a misfortune, but a rare case.
Children's disease N6. The fuel pump breaks. Almost always this is due to poor-quality gasoline-as a rule, a mesh is clogged, which quickly leads to the complete failure of the pump. The T6 machine itself costs $ 425, for others - $ 362. Work on replacing the pump - $ 74.
Children's disease N7. Internal defects in the automatic gearbox. If they are so serious that the machine is subject to replacement, then most likely you will be offered a branded Exchange Curiant, that is, a belly box, but completely selected. Agree, there is nothing to be afraid of. The bulkheads of such large nodes are engaged in goetborg at the factory - it happens that up to 90 percent of the automatic transmission details are changed to new ones, so the betaurant here is purely formal. It costs an exchange box of $ 5790, and pay $ 422-456 for the exching, depending on the type of engine.
Children's disease N8 is the last and rarest. The flow of automatic transmission radiator is usually due to poor-quality blocking in the places of its connection with the tubes or due to defects in the material of the radiator itself. The unit costs $ 375, replacement - $ 35.
Non -intensive therapy. All other sores (if, of course, they appear - in general, the machine is quite healthy) is of a general automobile character - that is, there are any brands in cars, there is no typically Volovian specificity in them. So, the original Volvo candles go 10-30 thousand km, depending, as the service engineers say, from the current state of the fuel and energy complex of Russia. Usually the fuel and energy complex in Russia allows the candles to live more or less calmly 20 thousand km. They themselves for a 2.4-liter engine cost $ 36, and replacement-$ 45. The T6 version, as the most loaded, is more sensitive to fuel quality. And candles for her are more expensive - $ 107 per set, and $ 69 per replacement.
Shock absorbers live normally 80-100 thousand km if the driver gives them to live. As they die out, you have to fork out $ 180 for the front (stand), $ 145 - for the rear and, accordingly, $ 79 and $ 59 per replacement. Well, plus $ 75 for adjusting the collapse/convergence of the front wheels and $ 88 - rear.
The bushings (silent blocks) of the front suspension levers usually serve 60 thousand km (2.4 l) or 40 thousand km (T6). Details cost $ 71 for each lever, replacing everyone will cost either $ 157 (2.4 liters) or $ 196 (T6). Plus collapse/convergence.
Prevention. And some operation tips. The high-pressure turbine (on T6) really does not like it when she is in a cold state with a kik-dowan-remember this. After a long powerful ride, do not kill the motor right away, let it work for 1-3 minutes on idle to cool the turbine-when the oil stops circulating, there is a strong local overheating, which is very harmful to its health. The low pressure turbine (2.4 liters) is almost not applied.
Follow the ventilation of the crankcase - when it clogs, the pressure of the oil increases, and the oil seals can flow. Cleaning ventilation costs $ 69, and it must be done every 70-100 thousand km.
Despite the fact that the interval established by the plant is 15 thousand km, serve every 10 thousand km, if you have a T6 car, they advise on the Russian service. The basic then-$ 140-150 plus consumables.
It is considered normal if the costs of maintaining not too new (say, three-year-olds or a little older) Volvo S80 are about $ 1,500 per year with an annual run of 30-40 thousand km and timely maintenance. But, of course, this is how lucky - it happens, and $ 3000, although rare. This is a lot or little for a car at a price of $ 20-35 thousand-decide for yourself.
