How to remove the Power Steering Pump auxiliary drivebelt on Volvo S80?

To remove the auxiliary drivebelt, you first need to improve access to it by removing the cold air inlet duct from the ECU box if it is fitted, and releasing the fluid supply hose from the clip on the pump pulley. To minimize the fluid loss, clamp the fluid supply hose near the pump and then loosen the pressure pipe union lock bracket bolt a few turns and take off the lock bracket. Place absorbent rags underneath the pump, unscrew the pressure pipe union and recover the O-ring. Carefully disconnect the fluid supply hose from the pipe stub on the pump without using excessive force so as not to damage it. Access the pulley and undo the three mounting bolts from the pump and for diesel models to remove the bracket from the back of the pump. If contamination of power steering fluid is suspected, the car should be raised and supported at the front so that the wheels are just off the ground, and then a suitable container should be placed beneath the car to catch the fluid from the hoses while the steering is turned from lock to lock. If a new pump is being fitted, transfer the pulley and reservoir should be done by a dealer or qualified repairer because of the special tools required. For refitting, follow the reverse order of removal while using a new O-ring on the pressure pipe union, tightening the mounting bolts to the specified torque, refitting the auxiliary drivebelt, ensuring pressure pipe union locking bracket fits around the hexagon section of the union and refilling or topping up the fluid reservoir while bleeding the system.

Volvo S80 Power Steering Pump

The main advantage of the Volvo S80 Power Steering Pump is that it provides the hydraulic muscle that allows a driver to swing the wheel with one hand rather than struggle with two hands, particularly when doing a parking exercise. The pump is driven by a belt attached to the crankshaft and forces the fluid out of its reservoir into the control valve within the steering rack through a high-pressure hose. Central placement of the wheel means the fluid force is applied equally on both sides of the rack piston to enable the car to follow a straight line. Rotate the wheel and the valve causes the flow to move only to one side of the piston to provide hydraulic assistance in the desired direction and quickly moves the fluid back to the reservoir via a low-pressure line. Initial S80 models applied a purely hydraulic and belt-driven Power Steering Pump with fixed output, while later models of the Volvo sedan applied a hydraulic unit with electronic control of flow, creating a light feel at urban speeds and a firmer feel at highway speeds. The new design, available in particular Volvo models, uses an all-electric motor-driven pump instead of a belt and pulley, which reduces fuel consumption and offers more free space under the hood. Irrespective of version, spillages, noises from a loose belt, or whining due to depleted fluid can be indications that the Power Steering Pump requires checking. Volvo balances comfort and road feel by providing less steering effort while maintaining a mechanical connection to the wheels.
