2009 and Below S60 -

Hi folks,

First post.

I was hoping there may be a manufacturer putting out LED rear lights now as the S60 & 40's have been out a while.
Has anyone come across them yet?

My first volvo. Extremly happy with pace and comfort.

If anyone is on from Ireland would they know of a specialist as T-belt and front bushings need change. Main dealer...

Hi all, hope you can help ? I've recently bought a S60 T SE (UK Model) and noticed over the last couple of days a knocking noise which sounds like it's coming from the rear when you go over bumps. I assume it's the antir roll bar bushes that are shot Car has only covered 40,000 mls with Full VMDSH, is this a common problem.

Cheers

This is an ongoing thing and it has been in the garage a couple of times but they were unable to replicate the problem.

When driving along (only really noticable when the windows are open) there is a slight rattling noise that I can only describe as being similar to engine 'pinking'
However if you happpen to go over a slight bump a definite rattle seems to come fron the...

Hi everyone,

Hello,

I have a beautiful S60 that has truly been the best car I have owned. There is one problem, though and it is one that I caused by being foolhardy One cold, winter morning here in Colorado (and Colorado has some very cold, winter mornings!), I got into the car to drive to work. I had let it warm a bit and decided to open the sunroof. It clicked several times because it...

I am new here and I recently became a fan of S60. Wondering if anybody here is selling one.

Hey guys, I have a 01 S60 2.4T and it has problem. I began to feel vibration when accelerating the car a while ago and heard some scratch noise from the front wheel since about 2 weeks ago after a trip to death valley.

I took the car to the dealership and I was told the transmission has problem. I was told I need to replace a new transmission and both drive shafts. Plus...

New S60 owner! Recent convert from 2004 S40. Just purchased '05 S60 2.4 model with factory 15" wheels. Want to put OEM Volvo Nebula Wheels in 18" with 235/40/18 tires. Anyone know if there will be any problems fitting due to the fact that this model doesn't have any of the sport suspension and such??
Tried to search for this on 2.4 and didn't find anything in...

Hello,

I bought my first Volvo last week - a 2002 D5 S60 SE with R alloys. It's a lovely car and very comfortable, just needs a service and some new tyres on the front.

My only gripes so far are the vibrating clutch, which from what i can see is a common fault - any ideas how much it will cost to get fixed?

My other gripe is the gear knob - the stitching is...

Does anyone know where I can get the spring mechanism that keeps the glove box from flopping down? I've been looking at parts web sites, but this piece is impossible to find. It is on the right side of the glove box, behind it. I also need to figure out how to take the glove box out if I do find this spring. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm new the forums and was looking for some info.

I filled my car to the brim with diesel this morning and pulled out of the petrol station up a big hill with my foot down. The warning display came up with "engine system service urgent" and the management system seems to have limited the power to 2500 rpm as it won't rev any higher than that.

If I switch it off the error goes away until I put the engine under load at...

The Goodyear tires on my S60 R are rubbing when I pull out of my driveway or make a sharp turn. I removed the small aluminum plates mounted in the wheel well but the rub is still there. I did a search and found that Vivaperformance.com has spacer kits. Has anyone installed these and eliminated the rubbing problem?

I went to Volvo dealer in Maryland; I was told I need to have the PCV system replaced because it's clogged.... Volvo want 520 bucks!
(It was causing the whistling sound i thought was the serpteine belt!!! they said this could cause the car to cut off)

My question is can I take it too Midas? or Precision Tune? and get it done for like 350 bucks!

Ok I'll have to admit up front that I made a dumb azz mistake.

I bought it used had it since April and didn't know until today i was supposed to use PREMIUM gas.... I have been using regular grade fuel in my car and it has affected my H2o sensor and i guess its blown so my car cuts off on me but will start right back up....

Hi everyone, Im Bill, new here..Have a "driving me crazy" problem....I have a 2004 S60R w/50k miles, i dont know what happened, but one day i felt a sputter, and the check engine light came on. NOW, everytime I idle, or drive slow, the car jumps and feels like its not getting fuel, like it turns off and on, but still barely running. I changed the fuel filter, the light shut off for 10...

Does anyone know how to change the catch in the glove box ? Mine has broken today and i need to get it fixed asap ?

Does anybody know any sites that i can find upgrades/mods for my ride? looking for new headlights, taillights, intake systems, exhaust, grilles, etc.

Hey guys,

I have terrible AM radio reception in my 04 S60 R. I read similar posts stating the same issue and went and got the "brass strip" from the dealer. The helpful guy at the counter had no idea where it should be installed. Has anyone done this? Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am looking to buy an used 2001 S60 Turbo (not the T5, but the mid-tier one). I'm reading the threads here and am getting educated on the different issues common to the S60.
I really like the S60, however my biggest concern is reliability... I do not want to spend a lot of money on repairs, esp. on repairs that may be common to the S60 in general.

So...

Today my 2004 S60 made some type of loud humming noise. It was almost like a siren. It was raining outside and it happened as I was coasting at about 50 miles per hour. As I came to a stop the noise stopped and hasn't happened again. Any ideas?

Help is needed! I have trouble code for a leak in the evaporative emission system.
Problem is, i can't find the test port to allow me to test and fill the system to fiind the leak.

Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

I heard that there was a recall on the software for the emissions that sent a trouble code where no trouble existed also.

My 2002 S60 has a trouble code for an evaporative emissions leak.

Does anyone know where the test port is to allow me to find the leak?

Please help if you can.

Does anybody know how to replace the low beam bulb for the driver's side?

It is really tight in that spot with tubes and the air filter housing taking all the room. I can't get my hand in there to pop off the cap let alone remove and install.

Please advise. (One of several frustrations already with this car that I've had for just over a year)

I purchased a Garmon 260W on the weekend for my 2004 S60. The Garmin vehicle power cable will not fit properly in the accessory socket. It will pop out every time I go over a bump. My wife had to hold it in place while we were driving. I went back to where I bought the Garmin and they told me that Volvo & BMW have smaller than normal accessory sockets and this was a car problem and not a...

Dear All

New to the site but have had my Volvo S60 D5 SE (185) - 48,000 Miles July 2005 for approx 1 year now. Couple of weeks ago, just before I was booking it in for its annual service, I noticed that the engine was not getting up to temperature properly (Temp Gauge used to get up to the middle and stay there -even in heavy traffic). The Temp Gauge is only registering either the...

Bought a 2001 S60 2.4T Certified Pre Owned from Volvo with 46,321 miles on 5/27/05. Went out of warranty 4/07. As of 5/16/08 I now have 69,300 miles and am being told by my servicing volvo dealer that I need a remanufacturer Volvo transmission, right axle, right CV joint, rear seal and motor mounts.

I've never had any service messages come up. I'm complained about sluggish...

I've posted on here before about this, but got no clear answer.

A little history: over the last month my S60 has intermittently refused to start. I would turn the key forward, all the electrical items would work, but the motor would not turn. The first three times it happened it was fine, as I was at home, and could take a bus where I needed to go. But on Friday, I was stranded on...

good day: seems like the lower control arm bushings going in these cars are common. i would like to attempt to put these in myself. if any one has done this before, did you pound them out or take them to a shop to have them removed and the new bushings installed.
thanks , dnd

I recently purchased a 2001 S60 Volvo and have filled it with fuel many time. Today, however the fuel cap door would not unlock to allow me to fuel the vehicle. Coudl someone please give me some advice on how I can disengage this lock?

Hey all, my dad's 2004 2.5T AWD gets real strong vibration sometimes on the highway, Volvo said it was a loose exhaust mount that makes the tubing rub the driveshaft. A new, "trustworthy" (longtime friend of family member) says that SECOND, or more rearward driveshaft is actually slightly warped, and at higher speeds this is starts to cause stronger and stronger vibrations. Has...

Hi everyone,

First of all, I have a 2002 S60, base model I think, but automatic.

I purchased the car in 2007 with 95K miles on it and now it has close to 115K miles; I drive a LOT.

Here's the weird issue:
Today I was driving in moderate weather (55F) and all of a sudden the CHECK ENGINE light started to BLINK and the message in the...

This issue with my 2002 S60 AWD started over a year ago, very occasional at first, now growing more frequent and troublesome.

Basically, at times I will be making a hard turn (steering wheel all the way left or right) and giving the car gas (either forward or reverse) and I will notice there is some sort of "tension" sensation, and that the car is very hard to move. Within a...

Well i was in the market for a GPS and didn't want to deal with the hassle of removing the factory stereo (which I like anyways) so I went with the new Volvo system. Let me start off by saying the install directions are great and mount is pretty good. MY only complaint is the unit is sitting at a slight angle. I used the template provided but the angle of the mount is just a little askew. ...

Just had my MOT and although it passed, they noted that the N/S rear anti-roll bar bush was deteriorating (I have noticed some annoying knocking noises). I imagined it would be a couple of £ but my dealer says you have to change the entire anti-roll bar (£133!). Is that correct or has anyone found an alternative?

Hey all

My friend and I were replacing the drivers side ball joint (2001 S60 tse) but looks as though we've pulled the driveshaft out a touch too much. we;ve took the boot joint back and seen the bearings have come out of the central ring (im not too car friendly!). My friend knows about cars and knows in principal what we need to do but he's not seen a design...

I own a 2001 Cypress Green S60 2.4T and the bumpers, the side guards, etc have all lost their luster and look old and oxidized.

My question is, do the "Forever Black" or the other bumper dyes out there work?
And if so, is it really black that I want or the dark grey?

I've tried the "Black Again" stuff, which looked great for a couple weeks, but...

Has anyone taken the bulbs out of the lights on the rearview mirrors i want to change the bulbs to some silver bulbs im just sick of looking at the egg yolk in the clear lens. If anyone knows how to take the bulb out and the replacement bulbs i would apreciate all the help i can get. i checked the owners manual and it just says to have the dealer do it but i dont feel like paying 50 bucks to have...

I've looked in the manual and under the hood, and I can't find the dipstick for auto transmission fluid. Does it exist? Where is it? I have no pressing need to get to it, I just wanted to see if there was enough fluid, and if it had gone yucky yet (probably not, I have a 2002 S60 with 46,500 miles).

Help!

I'm going to feel like one of the biggest idiots on the earth for asking, but where is the dipstick to check my transmission fluid? 02 S60 awd...

Hi, today I went out for a drive on m 2003 S60 2.4T, and noticed that when turning left the car start vibrating, after 2 or 3 turns, it started making noices, and then It simply stopped moving.

The engine was on, and I heard a rattling noise when accelerating. I've just changed a bad driveshaft about 4 months ago. Even when the car is on "Parking" it moves like it was on...

So I recently purchased an 01 260 2.4T with 43,000 miles on it. It was a 1-owner, I think summer car, located in Florida with impeccable service history. The car is pretty much pristine minus some minor blemishes I plan on fixing.

What I want to know is if anybody has had similar problems, what they did, and what parts they ordered, and cost of course.

My fuel door hinge,...
