1999 Volvo S80 Bad cylinder#3 and two other cylinder low compression
depends on how many miles are on the engine if its under 100,000 fix it. if its high miles better replace it find a honest mechanic to check it out. Ive done head jobs on high mile engines if the bottom end is tight, but if the bottom end is loose 6 months to a year after a head job the bottom sometimes goes. stay away from the dealers unless you have endless money. you can get a better job done from an honest repair shop with a better price I used to work for the dealers and could not believe the price they charged. I now run my own shop. hope all goes well
thank you very much for all the information, i will go ahead and take it to a shop around here
they work on Volvos as well, but i always to it to the dealer, bad thing to do.
your help have been very much appreciated.
thanks again
