Ok, I'm having a bad week, my S80 blew up, there is a hole in the engine case, maybe a thrown rod, but regardless, a new engine is needed(if you have one let me know). About 200 miles ago I had the ECM update done(Service Campaign 155) next thing I know I'm eatin white smoke(not the good kind) and parked on the side of I-74, with my black S80 looking great, but dead as Summer roadkill.

Question 1. Has anyone else heard of negative effect to the ECM update, maybe I just have bad luck, but the car lasted 107K with no problems, until the dealer touched it.

Question 2. If you know where I can buy a used engine cheap let me know, yes I've checked car-part but nothing under $1200.

Question 3. My car also has electrical problems, the gages go out, door locks, windows, etc. go out randomly, anyone else have this issue? any ideas? I'm guessing the electrical box under the dash, with all the relays and such, but I'm not too sure.

Question 4. Would you like to buy an S80 with a blown engine? $4700firm.

any help would be great, email me at taco3@indystart.com
