Various Volvo S80 Questions

Hello Everyone....first time posting here.

I have a number of questons regarding my 2000 S80 2.9 liter engine,
non-turbo.

Questions:

1. Where can I get a good after market repair manual? (my local auto
parts stores don't seem to carry any for newer Volvo's)

2. Where can I find out what engine my car has? (I've been to a lot of
internet parts sites, and they list the engine type for the 2000 Volvo S80
2.8 liter with turbo as a B6482T, but they don't list an engine type for my
2000 Volvo S80 2.9 liter non-turbo)

3. Where can I find a timing belt for my 2000 Volvo S80 2.9 liter
non-turbo? (none of the online sites I have been to have them)

4. My ABS warning light was on, so I took my Volvo S80 2.9 liter
non-turbo to my local Volvo dealer to have it checked out, I forgot what
it was they said was wrong...but they did say that it was going to cost
$950 to repair. Can anyone hazzard a guess at what is wrong, or what
usually is the most common thing to go wrong with an ABS braking sysytem?

Thanks, sorry for all of the questions in one post.

Regarding your problen with the ABS you migth be interested in the post made
by Randy Mckenna,
try out the link about the ABS and read on their site.
the designation for your engine would be B6294S, and though it sounds
interesting the Turbo engine is not designated B6482T but B6284T, otherwise
it would be a 4.8 liter engine.

I do believe the timing belt for the model year 2000 B6294S engine is the
same as for the B6284T, which you should be able to locate at different
webshops, example:

http://www.maximumautoparts.com/VO_T...001_items.html

I admit that it's strange that several online shops doesn't seem to have
neither designation for the 2.9 L non turbo nor parts like the timing belt.
You might wan't to contact Volvo dealer to ask if the belt is the same.
I believe Volvo part no. is 274184 for both engines.

Hi,

Visit http://www.brickboard.com and click on the link for S80. You
will find lot of knowledgeable people there who can answer questions.

I buy parts for my 1997 Volvo 960 at http://www.fcpgroton.com. Talk to
Nick for the best prices. They carry OEM and aftermarket parts, and
offered lower prices than I have seen in other places.
