Today I finally got around to doing the transmission flush on my wife s60. The car had 94K miles on it and I'm not sure it's ever been done, so I was a little worried about the urban legends of high mileage flushes. Legend goes that the new fluid loosen "stuff" and could cause issues with ...

I just installed ball joints on my S60 and built this tool to hammer them in. They went in super easy, the secret is to freeze them overnight, this shrinks them just enough to make installation 50% easier :). Parts: 2" PVC Schedule 40 2" PVC Cap 10x1.25 50mm Bolt To insure the ball joints ...

My experience with two different P2 cars, non R, at this mileage there is a definite list of parts that need to be replaced. I suggest checking if they have been replaced before buy. If they have not it's almost 100% chance they will need to be replaced. Upper motor mount Transmission torque mount P...

Finally decided to bring my 2005 into the modern age with a new head unit. I decided on a pure Android head unit from Eonon, model GA2170. It’s was a little more on Amazon but the easy return policy and fast shipping was worth the extra. I went to a local audio shop and played around with the naviga...

I have a set of coils I picked off a 2005 Volvo S60 2.4t but never used and now have a T5. If anyone needs them I'll sell them for what I paid $14.57 each and donate half of the money to MVS. Buy all 5 and I'll cover shipping. I would like to see them used rather then sitting in my attic parts bin. ...

It's pretty common on these cars to have the side bolster tear. I've been on the look out for decent seats from the Pick-Your-Parts in the area but haven't had much luck. So today before the situation gets out of hand I decided to attempt to stitch up the tear before it grows to large. JoAnn Fabrics...

Few months ago I installed an Android HeadUnit radio with all the modern infotainment features, including hands free calling. Problem is the microphone hangs from the headliner and looks bad. I remembered early versions of the S60 had a built in phone option and the doom light still has a mic grill,...

Great. Also I'm guessing it's inherently unit-neutral so that as long as I use the same units all the time the app doesn't really care what they are? For us SI guys. Wouldn't be an issue unless you started saving schedules for different cars as presets, I'm guessing. Good point. The system is mostl...

The acetone worked amazing, made easy work of the tape!! I'm working on the drivers side rear trim piece first. The acetone also soften the factory paint a little so I had to let if harden before sanding it. The first coat is on and in the morning I'll spray a second, then clear in the evening. It's...

I believe some models did not come with rear sway bars.
