S80 2.5 D problems. S80

posted by  someone claiming to be potential S80 owner on  Tue Jun 27 00:20 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I went to look at a 2000 W Reg. S80 SE 2.5D that is for sale .

I have a some specific concerns..

1. thick black smoke on heavy acceleration..

the owner says this was checked out by a local garage and that it's
normal or possibly it requires the injector timing fixing. From reseach
this means recon. injectors. Is there any way to conifrm that this
fault is nothing to do with a turbo failure ? Would it effect the
exhaust catalytic converter ?

2. warning triangle lit on dash.. can anyone tell me what it means or if
there is an online manual ?

3. what would be a good price for it with 120k on clock ? It seems to
have had a basic level of maintenance , however it's obviously slipped
in the last 6 months, the power steering fluid is low and the service
is over due. good tyres, interia OK but not perfect, needs a fog light
replacing

Cheers !

Simon
