2007 Volvo S80 3.2L FWD:

Ok so I've replaced the power steering return line hose & am about to bleed the Regular Standard American Vehicle Power Steering Fluid the idiot who screwed it up at the dealership put in (Not worth bringing it back, Used Car Dealer, Mechanic is an imbecile & would only only damage it further & charge me more, its lawyer or nothing to deal with that, not worth it) but im wondering, to do the flush, how many Liter bottles of the proper fluid will I likely need? Obviously the US Vehicle Power Steer Fluid lacked the required anti foaming agents & was useless... Anyone familiar with a power steering flush on this car able to let me know how much ill likely need to get it done, your knowledge would be greatly appreciated thanks.

(Ps: I have in fact already done the research that was required to identify the proper fluid & verified with nearest Full Volvo Dealership & Their Volvo Certified Mechanics)

 

did you check for capacity in the owners manual? If I were to guess, I'd think its probably in the 2 quart range or about $15 worth of ATF.

 

The capacity of your power steering system is 1.25 qts (1.2L) but like mt6127 said, I would get 2 quarts to flush a little extra through.

FWIT; owners manuals do always have the capacities for all fluids along with required specs towards the end

 

Hi, I'm needing to replace my return hose for my 2010 S80 and was wondering what tools were needed. Especially to remove the rubber hoses.
