S80 V8 Power Steering issues P/N 30776395

My 2008 S80 V8 has a failing power steering pump. The failing part number is 30776395, Part 36000748 is identical to 36000267. Most websites say that 3077369...

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 :

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?

Anth Pirtek may be able to make you a replacement, they're down in Rydalmere. You'll need to extract the old one and take it to them. If it has weird hardline bends you may just have to get a new one from Volvo.

It appears the hose on the right (Gates) is the leaking one to me.

Are you asking if a new hose can be bought? yes, cost around $500.

Anth

jamesinc yes its definitely the right one (Gates). Leaking from the top. Not sure how long that would take to make and what issues it may have after installing. Advised they are temperamental. If Ramrod can supply Volvo maybe best to go that way.

I would love to enjoy the car over the holidays

Anth

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

jamesinc

Volvo OE hoses are hard to beat

ramrod

Anth

ramrod hey mate, I PM you my vin

Here is an update for anyone interested

A new high pressure hose for the S80 V8 is NOT available in the country!! Estimated delivery from Sweden 4 weeks minimum. Best price if ordered here $970 including + freight!!

Just for reference RHD part number 31280402 vehicles are NOT compatible to LHD part number 31280401!! So cant order from US.

PITA to remove and install . Had the Longer hose refurbished $200!!

All good now , no more leaks and will enjoy the car over Xmas!

Great info. Who did your hose refurbishment? I wanna be ready when the hose goes in our S80 V8.

Anth

Should have done the smaller hose but just ran out of steam!!

Enzed did the repair - original was toast!!
