New Volvo S80 T6 project keep or sale?
Hi everyone, I finally picked up the 2000 Volvo S80 T6.
Well I should've been more thorough on looking it over . Never, I repeat never take a person on their word when they are selling a vehicle. But anyway I have a bit of work to do. It was advertised as needing a oil pump. Not the case, upon further inspection found that the crankcase had a lot of gas mixed in with the oil. Changed the oil and put fresh oil in and never saw oil pressure light come on. Other than replacing the autolite spark plugs with Bosch. I guess I have to check for bad injectors and or a pressure control valve. Hopefully no damage was done to the engine. So I'll post the videos of what I did so far. |
Congratulations on getting it running. The exhaust leak fix will suck if it`s the manifold gasket. I would say dump it.

The engine is shot ( metallic stuff in oil filter) And it has a blown head gasket. So soon as the title comes in I'm taking the extra parts it came with keeping what I need and selling the rest ( maybe u pull and pay will get it.) I can't save them all. thanks for the advice. |
Worthy try!

Drove this up from LA to Seattle last week. The V8 is amazing. Previous owner kept it under blankets in his garage 67,000 miles

Project car may have been a flop but I got parts.

P.s. these extras didn't come off either of these cars https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/volvofo...93c3665760.jpg |
Took the throttle body off the failed project S80.

It was a short lived victory , but all is well.

Like I said I'm trying to make the best of this bad purchase. So I knew that the throttle body was good on the white Volvo so I decided to give it a shot. Both cars are identical except for paint. So I figured I had a 50 50 chance. I'll show you the video. |
good deal!

Forgot to mention that I have extra turbos for sale.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have two turbos for sale . (Right and left side) any reasonable offer will be accepted. They were included with the car as well as some other extras. |
I doubt that anyone wants to buy a 20 year old Volvo that isn't running.
It is unfortunate that this turned out to be more than you expected. You might want to consider replacing the head gasket and at least getting the car to a running state. |
