PLEASE HELP!! URGENT S80 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Punxsutwney Phil on  Tue Jun 17 16:35 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I suspect that you can obtain a used S80 motor for a lot less than $12,000. Also, if you had a "head crash" it still shouldn't cost $12,000 to fix.

In any case I don't really understand how one cold break the engine block by breaking the serpentine belt. I can understand that a broken serpentine belt could take out the timing belt cover and timing belt and cause a head crash, though. (That's been reported here before. See http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=138793) Has an indy Volvo mechanic been consulted? They are absolutely essenial for keeping these cars running at a reasonable cost once the warranty expires.

As I read the 2001 Volvo S80 maintainance schedule on the Volvo website, it says "I" (="inspect") the serpentine belt at 60,000 miles and "R" (="replace") the timing belt and belt tensioner at 105,000 miles.
