[Arnold Layne]

Hello all,

My S80 has the dynamic chassis, and after 8 years, eventually I've had this error message:

Dynamic chassis service required

I read the codes with my Vida Dice, and it says that the right rear Damper has 3 trouble codes:
SUM- C110F18: Right Rear damper Solenoid general electrical failures - circuit current below threshold

C110F12 - Circuit short to battery
and
C110F13 -Circuit open

So, it seems like the solenoid has died.

Can anyone with any experience here advise me what to buy please?

I'm feeling optimistic that I can buy a replacement on ebay, or perhaps directly from Volvo, and I might even attempt to replace the damper myself (if it's easy enough), otherwise it's a job for my independent garage. He's not a Volvo specialist, but he is good, but I feel if I bring him the correct part and let him get on with it, he'll keep the amount of hours of labour down, and he'll have done the job many times (perhaps not a 4C Volvo shock), but he should do a better job than me.

Thanks for replies.
