S80 project
Just adopted ($700) a neglected and butchered by mechanics ’99 S80 6T. I have access to a friend auto repair shop, I am handy and I have a good help: a VIDA.
So far in one week I replaced all front suspension , rewired the electronic throttle ( inexplicable had a +12 V on the ground wire) , fixed the SRS ( bad belt pretensioner ),
replaced stolen speakers , patched some air leaks in the intake, Bypass a circuit which still have +8 volts on it ( relay activated by ignition on ), hence 600mA current drain and the car runs decent. I still have a lot of work to do: windows regulators, fog lights, daytime running lights shunt burned in the fuse box ( replaced for now with a fuse/ does not dim but… ) sun roof, a lot.
