Turbs3000 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 my little brother has a 2009 Volvo s80, water pump just went out on it and of course the dealer wants some stupid amount to fix it. 230k on it and ran well before this. body has some dents but thought it might be in someone's wheelhouse here? $1500? he bought a new car so looking to cut it loose soon. thanks Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchi Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Does make it a lil harder to try and sell a car (even a cheap one) when limited details and no pics.... just saying. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I know some mechanically inclined folks... I figure someone can probably fix it for a few hundred bucks and a Saturday and make it a college/ high school car or have a comfy dd.

STEVE-O Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 If I recall this is no simple water pump swap job. Timing belt and all has to come off to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk as the volvo retard, thats going to be the 3.2 I6, or the T6 which is the turbo 3.0 I6. The water pump is somewhat a common issue on these. I'd 100% buy at that price if it was the Yamaha V8. If I recall this is no simple water pump swap job. Timing belt and all has to come off to be done.

Turbs3000 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 it's fwd so it must be the 3.2 I6 Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 man, too bad I don't want to mess with that a timing belt because I could really use a driver until my Mach E comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 is this the motor in his car? I'm considering possibly picking this up and doing the water pump as I need a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
