S80 V8 Power Steering issues P/N 30776395
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?
- Edited
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!
2 months later
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 :
Help is needed as my mate mechanic has done his back.
I am assuming it is the high pressure hose. Anyone can suggest part number or somewhere around Eastwood NSW that can possibly fix it soon? What is a reasonable cost to replace?
Are you asking if a new hose can be bought? yes, cost around $500.
Thanks Ramrod. Is the part new or reconditioned, assuming its the HP hose?
Can you supply and fit ? I would love to have the car for Xmas
You can PM if you prefer
Volvo OE hoses are hard to beat
