I just cant seem to get a pump that will fit on this car.
Part 36000267 and 36000748 is NOT interchangeable . It simply wont fit unless the pipework to the steering rack is replaced?
The only option is order new pump from Volvo-$1250 or rebuild existing
Rockauto wont fit either
From the link above it obviously an issue
Surely someone has an answer or solution
Go on ebay , find a site , they will ask for your VIN and say if it fits.
Or ask Mark at Berry Motor Group. ( he is back from UK , Volvo Museum trip thank goodness , normal help back at BMG...)
As an aside to steering problem, I had great success with carefully flushing fluid tank filter with brake cleaner.

Yeah , the flushing my guy did cleaned it out.
i had no trouble geting correct pump at all so this is weird.

IDK !!Yeah I called BMG. They didn't have any but gave them my vin and they came
back with 36000267. $1185 +gst + exchange.
So I ordered same online it simply won’t fit and I have had to return 36000267
It seems I am not the only one!

Only one that will fit is NEW from Volvo at big price if in stock and available.
The online people like it seems ...
Lucky you could send back.
Gee I did well with mine then!
1185 is cheap if you now have car off the road and labour costs....
Plus Volvo give 2 year warranty...
Mark gets the best Volvo supplied prices too.....
Just wait till fuel pump/s go.....
It's a modern Euro car, parts ain't cheap. Buy genuine and your more than 10 years old complicated car will last another 10 years or more.

NO surprises here guaranteed. I can tell you 100% it is different!
If you have an S80 V8 with a 30776395 pump, the XC90V8 pump
Part 36000748 is which is identical to 36000267 WILL NOT FIT.
Volvo in there wisdom changed it for whatever reason???
The pressure port interface is a different size and the retaining bolt position
is much closer on the XC90V8 pump.
This has been a frustrating experience to say the least.
They FORCE you to spend the dough and buy new which is $1304 inc gst+ delivery
or try to refurbish it or find a second hand one.
Anyone got a second hand one? I am interested
I obtained pump for xc90v8 from rock auto for a lot less. Seems strange pump in sedan is different. The motorworld is a strange place.

Yeah I know
They are a MAVAL 96696M unit for $237 AUD + $68aud delivery.
Comes with a 2 year warranty like VOLVO . LOL
Shame it wont fit .
Could have bought four of them for the same money . OMG
Make it fit!
Can you swap out the hose for the one that suits this pump, or is that not a thing?
Get a used one from Mark Iceton and build the old one , he probably has a rebuilder as well.
As he has two XC90V8s and i have one he will know for sure.
This experience has produced the following result.
Aftermarket manufacturers simply do not make a power steering pump for s80v8 !!
The only way to replace pump is to buy new from Volvo part 30776395 or get existing repaired/ refurbished.
The s80V8 and XC90V8 steering pumps are NOT compatible.
If you own a S80V8 be aware of it. DO NOT waste your time and money.
I am in the process of refurbishing original and see what happens!
Well its been almost two months of enjoying the S80 V8 and my power steering issues have come back!!
This car is just a great drive when all is well!! After a nice outing yesterday I noticed a familiar noise. Luckily was just around the corner from home. Santa has given me an early Xmas present :
