This is my AWD s80 with 170,000 miles. Three separate problems that might be related. Please read and give me your opinions or experience.

Fairly uneventful service history. Purchased from dealer with 108,000 and full records. All maintenance done per mfr's service schedule, all volvo parts.

Last year changed had Haldex filter and fluid serviced.

1) Sometime after, I don't know exactly, we got a yellow triangle and ABS failure warning. Brake and ABS lights were on. This was intermittent. Lately it's on more often. Some would say it's on all the time.

2) After the last oil change we have a new yellow warning. Engine service required. I searched here and elsewhere and found a posting where this happened right after an oil change and the owner said he added to much oil. He let out a bit and the message disappeared. our oil level is spot on. It was intermittent. Lately more often and some would say it's on all the time.

3) Last week wife said A/C stopped working. Not blowing cold. I asked her to check the A/C button to make sure it's not off. By the time I could check it the A/C worked. Today it's 90 in MI and she came home without A/C. I was going to add refrigerant. But we let the car sit for a half-hour and now it's blowing cold again. What gives?

Local indy guy says it's probably CEM and expensive. Eventually the car will die. He says the CEM has to be purchased new and programmed at the dealer and there's no way around it.

Looking for a little help and insight on what's going on. It's a beautiful car, especially in the snow.

I need a plan of attack.
