S80 Insufficient Heating

I'm having trouble with the heating in my 2013 Volvo S80 gasoline. It's not putting out enough heat, and there's an error code. I think it might be a bad water valve, maybe a cable or plug issue. Has anyone else run into this?

The heating issue in a 2013 Volvo S80 was linked to insufficient heat output and an error code. The initial suspicion was a faulty water valve or a cable/plug issue. After investigation, the problem was identified as a bad cable connection to the water valve, which was resolved at a cost of 95€.

Low heat and an error code definitely suggest a cooling system problem. Have you checked the coolant level recently? Any signs of overheating, or weird engine behavior besides the heat?

Coolant level is fine. No overheating or other strange behavior, just the heat. Could a partially blocked valve cause this without overheating?

A partial blockage is possible, but without overheating, it's trickier to say. Given the error code, it might be worth having a shop look at the valve and connections. They can figure out if it's a simple fix or something bigger.

Thanks for the help. It was a bad cable connection to the water valve, like I thought. Cost 95€ to fix. Appreciate the input.
