The Volvo S80 was produced from 1998-2006 and was the successor to the S90, formerly known as the 960. The S80 opened new chapter in the history of the brand, at least in the field of design. The angular car has turned into a neat, beautiful and modern sedan. A new style subsequently borrowed all the models of the brand - from the compact C30 to the large XC90.
Design features
The Volvo S80 was built on the freshly baked P2 platform, which later went to the S60, V70 and XC90. The Swedes abandoned the concept rear wheel drive, and the engine was placed transversely. Under the hood, in-line units with five, maximum six cylinders were installed, while the Germans widely used V-shaped "eights".
AWD all-wheel drive was available as an option. rear wheels connected automatically with a Haldex coupling. The transmission design is nothing phenomenal, but it works quickly and efficiently.
The front axle suspension was based on MacPherson struts. Her interesting feature- the presence of breakers knuckle limiting the angle of rotation of the front wheels. Rear suspension- multi-link type. It has been adapted for all-wheel drive versions.
Volvo longer than competitors from Audi, BMW and Mercedes, but wheelbase loses to the "Bavarian five" and "Stuttgart E-shke". However, the Swedish sedan provides a very comfortable conditions stay. The cabin is well soundproofed, built with quality materials and offers just the right amount of space in given class. The trunk holds up to 480 liters of luggage.
The center console can be intimidating at first big amount buttons. But soon you will see that they are located quite ergonomically. Standard equipment is fully consistent with the premium class. On board there are air conditioning, ABS and traction control system. Top versions have leather upholstery interior, automatic transmission, cruise control, heating windshield and a number of other additives.
It is worth noting that the Volvo S80 at one time could boast high level security. It can be assumed that even after 20 years, the owner of a sedan can feel protected. But only on condition that the body is not rotten. However, corrosion is alien to this model, and its presence indicates body repair in past.
Engines
A web of tubes means there's a turbocharged engine under the hood.
Volvo did not spare the engines for the S80. Range gasoline units was extensive, and each of them has at least 5 cylinders.
The list includes a 2.4-liter aspirated engine with a capacity of 140 and 170 hp. and its 200 hp turbocharged variant. Engines of 2 liters with a return of 163, 180 and 226 hp. offered exclusively with turbocharging and also had 5 cylinders. 2.5 T, developing 210 hp, replaced 2.4 T in 2003.
The 6-cylinder units had the largest capacity. The atmospheric inline "six" with a volume of 2.9 liters generated 200/204 hp, and after 2001 - 196 hp. Its turbocharged version provided 272 hp, as did 2.8 T.
Diesel engines were also present in the asset of the model. Volvo, after the premiere of the S80, still had relations with Volkswagen, so until 2001 only the German 2.5 TDI was used. This 5-cylinder 140 hp unit is known from the Audi A6 C4 and Volkswagen Transporter T4. Later, Volvo began to use turbodiesels own design- 2.4 D and D5 with a return of 130 and 163 hp respectively.
Which engine to choose?
In principle, all Volvo S80 engines can be considered good, and preferences determine the choice. For those who are more concerned about operating costs than performance, better fit 2.4 liter petrol engine. The 140-horsepower modification does not provide superior performance, but simple design guarantees peace of mind. The 170-horsepower version already rides better, but in terms of operation it is no worse. The turbocharged version of the engine does not cause excessive concern, but if the turbocharger fails, you will have to pay at least 30,000 rubles.
The average fuel consumption under normal conditions lies in the range of 12-14 l / 100 km. On the track you can go down even below 10 liters, but you have to go very slowly. The supercharged 2.4L consumes more gasoline.
You can save on fuel by choosing diesel. Consumption will be less than that of gasoline engines, but what if it fails fuel system (typical disease) or turbocharger. The repair won't be cheap.
The golden mean could be Volkswagen diesel, but it was installed at the very beginning of production. Therefore, many units are already very worn out, and the engine itself cannot boast of quiet and soft operation. However, its repair is certainly cheaper than in the case of Volvo turbodiesels. True, the TDI loses a lot to the D5 in terms of smooth operation.
Those who value good performance have big choice. The desired engine is a 6-cylinder 2.9-liter aspirated engine with a capacity of 196 hp. It allows you to enjoy driving, and its design is so simple that you will not have to worry about serious failures or high repair costs. You will have to pay an impressive fuel consumption.
A good alternative would be a 2-liter turbo engine with a low degree of boost. This is done in order to improve torque characteristics. The maximum 240 Nm motor gives in the range of 1850-5000 rpm. Atmospherics don't do that. Wanting to save money, you should choose the 163-horsepower version, and fans fast driving suitable T5 with a return of 226 hp
The S80 T5 model is slightly different from the regular S80 with tighter suspension settings. The T6, on the other hand, was prepared primarily for high-speed highways with gentle curves. Max Speed this model is almost 270 km / h. Here we are already dealing with a very powerful and therefore more demanding engine. It can be expensive to repair, especially with two turbochargers.
A good alternative, if not the best, for the T5 and T6 is the 2.5T version. The motor has a little more torque. Bad news is that this good turbo engine is quite expensive to repair, and its block may even burst.
Thus, best advice worthy of aspirated 2.4 and 2.9 liters. Although Volvo engines are famous for their durability and reliability, this by no means means that when you buy a car with a mileage of 300,000 km, you can only rejoice. Turbo engines T5, T6 and 2.5 T can only be advised to those who are potentially ready for high costs for repairs. The choice of diesel versions must be approached very carefully.
Typical problems and malfunctions
Serious problems are usually automatic transmission gears. Its durability is not too high, and repairs may require from 50 to 100 thousand rubles. It is unlikely that someone will allocate that kind of money for a car that costs only a little more. Therefore, we do not recommend buying a Volvo with an automatic if the seller does not have documentary evidence of repair and a guarantee for this service. The consolation is the fact that after a properly completed repair, you can sleep peacefully for the next few years.
During operation, there are no complaints about the system of full AWD drive. However, it needs a transmission oil change every 60,000 km. Unfortunately, one of the most interesting configurations of the 2.5 T AWD was offered exclusively with automatic transmission.
Not known for durability Volvo suspension S80, and its repair is quite expensive. However, in comparison with the Audi A6 C5, everything is not so bad. The lower aluminum arm costs at least 5,000 rubles, but it does not have to be changed as often as in Audi.
Numerous troubles can also be delivered by rather capricious on-board electronics. Most often, the CAN-bus and engine control units are concerned. Failures in the operation of electrical equipment occur due to soured contacts and loss of mass. Sometimes, the lighting fails.
In case of problems with electronics, it is quite difficult to cope with them on your own. Most likely, the intervention of a specialist will be needed, which, unfortunately, is expensive and not always effective.
It is extremely important to check the operation of the air conditioner, power windows, electric sunroof, seats and steering wheel before buying.
Generator alternating current considered very vulnerable (from 9,000 rubles).
Operating costs
Volvo S80 will be quite affordable in terms of content, if you choose one of the most simple motors. General rule relatively gasoline engines- how more power the more expensive the operation. Concerning diesel engines, then what more modern motor, the fewer problems, but the higher the repair costs.
Contrary to popular belief, the Volvo S80 is not particularly troubled car. But if the motor or gearbox breaks down, repairs will certainly not be cheap. Fortunately, the spare parts market is well developed.
Market situation
With the search and purchase of a used first-generation S80, there are no particular problems. The cheapest of them have a low cost - about 170,000 rubles. Unfortunately, they tend to have certain ailments.
Traditionally, it is better to opt for restyled copies released after 2004. It is worth noting that after the update, some engines were no longer offered. For cars recent years issue will have to pay 400-600 thousand rubles.
On the market, absolute superiority is behind gasoline modifications with a gun. All-wheel drive and diesel versions occupy no more than 10% of the proposals.
Conclusion
The Volvo S80 is rarely bought for rational reasons. But the S80 still captivates with its unique style, quality of materials and level of passive safety. An elderly Swedish sedan is an offer for true connoisseurs who are ready to forgive him a lot.

Understanding this issue, you need to understand that there is a mark on the dipstick of the oil level in the engine
Min and max - the difference between the lower and upper tolerance limits is 1 liter.
Each Volvo engine, and most of the range are turbocharged, consumes oil in different amounts, depending on the operation of the car and its mileage. Even with low mileage and careful operation of Volvo you have to top up 0.5–1 liter every 5,000 thousand km.

It is believed that when changing the oil, the level on a cold engine should be in the middle, but if it is at the upper limit of max, it will not be bad either, but the owner of the car whose oil is filled to the maximum can drive an extra 3-5 thousand without topping up km
Based on the above, on a car with an engine whose oil filling volume is considered to be 5.8 liters, you can fill in 5.5, as well as 6.2 liters, and both values \u200b\u200bwill be acceptable and within tolerance. We believe that when considering the bottom issue, it is worth pouring just below the max mark.

The S80 executive sedan is the flagship model range Volvo. The first generation cars were produced from 1998 to 2006 and had five-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines ranging from 2.0 to 2.5 liters or transversely mounted inline six-cylinder gasoline engines for 2.8 / 2.9 liters. S80s were equipped with 4- or 5-speed automatic and 5- or 6-speed transmissions and could be front- or all-wheel drive. Second-generation vehicles produced since 2006 received updated design, as well as new engines: gasoline and diesel 4-cylinder 2-liter, 3.2-liter 6-cylinder, and developed in conjunction with by Yamaha 4.4 liter V8. New gearboxes also appeared - 6 and later 8-speed Aisin automatics. This generation of S80 with small updates appearance and equipment is produced to the present. In 2016 Volvo company plans to replace the S80 with new model S90, built on the SPA platform. What oil to fill in the Volvo S80 engine depends on the modification and year of manufacture of the car.
