Does a 2000 Volvo S80 2.9 have the same timing belt change rate as the Turbo's?
Just what the title says. Looking at a 2000 Volvo S80 and it has the 2.9L engine. I know that in the S60's with turbo's and the S80 with turbo you're looking at replacing the timing belt at 105K. Is the S80 privy to this work as well?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 1 answer

Yes as it is a service letter for all S60s, S80s with the 2.8 turbo or the 2.9 non turbo. While you are at it, it is suggested to change the tensioner and water pump. Reference:2000 S80T6 owner

Headlight went out so I reseated shunts, but forgot to disconnect batt, now...?
my car won't start, also now both headlights are out, instead of just the one. I know, I'm a fool. I drive a 99 volvo s80. I took out and reinserted the shunts under driver side steering wheel.

On the '99,'00 and '01 S80s the computer system will loose it's memory for just about anything you do. I have an '01 S80 and have had the computer reset about a dozen times because of this damn computer system. Call your local Volvo dealership and tell them what you did and...

Does the new Volvo S80 have a flashing rear windshield brake light?
I saw an S80 where the third brake light - the bar in the rear windshield - flashed like a warning every time the driver hit the brakes. Is this an add-on or something new for Volvo? I have a 1999 S80 and am interested in adding this safety feature to my car. Thanks!

No this is not factory installed. To my knowledge some car companies (mercedes) are starting to look at putting a feature in to strobe the brake lights in emergency braking maneuvers, but this is not the norm. Especially if the brake light flashes every time the vehicle brakes, then this would...

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2010 Volvo S80, at the base level with front-wheel drive and a large, comfortable interior, competes with a wide range of luxury sedans.

The Mercedes E-Class and the BMW 5-Series both offer V-8 versions and all-wheel drive, as well as extensive safety features, while the new Acura RL is a good competitor, and perhaps the closest to the S80.

But oddly, the RL feels sportier than base-model S80.

For those who wish to be a little more flamboyant, the V-8-powered Jaguar XF is worth a serious look; the Jag’s interior is warm and smooth, while the Volvo is a bit cold and stark in its interior design especially.

We’re not saying either is better for design—it’s really a matter of personal taste.
