Hello! ~I own a 2003 S60 AWD with 15K miles on it. The last 3 or 4 months I've noticed that when the brakes are cold and I have to brake suddenly, the car swings to the right severely enough so that I must correct the swing by steering to the left. Once the brakes warm up the car brakes as straight as an arrow. Is this something that can be corrected; what part of the braking system could be causing it? ~Secondly, twice this past winter the clock on the car forgot what time it was (It just displayed -- --). On both occasions it was above freezing (32F) and parked inside my garage, so I don't think the battery or electronics would be too cold. ~Last on my list. The car also has the interior cabin "multifilter" and air quality sensor. The dealer said it's time to change the filter, but I'd like to do it myself. However, I cannot for the life of me locate the damn "multifilter." Does anyone know where it is located? Many Thanks! Lee
The clock issue, does the odometer mileage ever reset itself? There is an update to correct the odometer reset issue. The dealer has to do this update. It will be no charge to you to have the dealer do this update. The cabin filter is under the glove box up against the fire wall area. If the recirculate button says on/off you need the skinny filter. If the recirculate button says auto/"something else", can't remember, then you need the fat filter. The parts dept will know what you need. Ther are 2, 25 torx screws to remove the lower panel under the glove box. Remove panel. You will see a black plastic cover screw to the bottom side of the climate unit. 4 25 torx screws. the front screws are harder to get to. Remove this cover and pull out fillter. Take not as to how the old filter is removed and the angle of removal. It will only go back in the correct way. Install removed parts and all done. Go to this site for pictures. http://www.volvospeed.com/bay13.htm In the filter section choose S80, this will be the same for the 60 and 70 series 2001 and up Everything is the same execpt the the side panel removal. Really you do not need to remove the side panel on the S80. BD ----------------------------------------
