S80 Problems
 
Hi there!!!

Lately there are a few problems I'd like to address about my 1999 Volvo S80 T6, My car just hit 150,000 miles!! Anyway I'm going to list the problems in order.

1. Water leak. Water seeps into the passenger side when its raining, It will seep in while the car is parked or moving. I have no idea where it's coming from; it all ready flooded the passenger side of the car, it got the mat totally soaked including the carpet underneath. The water comes in under the dash/glove box, the water doesn't drip in, but theres a stream when water does come in.

2. When I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right it makes a grinding sound.... I recently got new tires, I told the mechanics if they could just check it out. At the time I thought it was the tire(s) were rubbing against the tire well. After Firestone installed the tires they said, the tires are not rubbing against the tire well. I don't think it's a power steering problem. Again it only happens when you turn the steering wheel all the way to the right.

3-1. Air conditioning, the air isn't cold.... Well I know this one. I have to recharge the system. 3-2 Also when you do turn on the A/C a foul stench comes from the vents, and it's a very strong smell too, it only lasts a few minutes though. <--- [Could this be linked to problem number 1???]

Thats it..... Any idea's would be greatly appreciated !!!!
