Re: 2004 S60 - Best Ride Comfort Advice

Thank you both for your insight. I could consider a different set of tires next year, when I am due. Right now I am sporting uniroyal tiger paws, which were excellent in New England weather and good bang for your buck. Not sure if I will change the springs. as none appear to sag and it's currently o...

2004 S60 - Best Ride Comfort Advice

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. As we are slowly warming up I am thinking of tacking a suspension refresh on my S60. Base model with 15" rims, so plenty of side wall. I had put some KYB shocks a few years ago because they offered a good discount at the time and also the Sachs that I...

Re: '04 S60 - flex issues and middle exhaust

It was salvageable. Ended up getting new bolts and gasket.

Re: '04 S60 - flex issues and middle exhaust

Sorry I didn't see this in time. I did end up having a shop welding a new flex pipe to the old cat. Have had it for a year now and it has been good so far. It's as quiet as it was when new.

Re: 04 S60 - p0420 - catalytic converter

Thank you both for your input. I put even more miles the past couple of days and no code yet. I didn't find the ECM-4801 DTC either. Would that be a permanent code? I did the mistake of clearing the codes when the light popped up. My next step was to get a smoke machine and test it. Been wanting one...

Re: Front Strut Assembly Question?

Mr Detail, If you haven't bought any struts yet, I would recommend you to take a look at the KYBs. I put them on my 04 S60 and the ride is very smooth. Usually folks would put SACHS as they were the OEM supplier for the P2 platform however, some have questioned their quality over the past few years ...

04 S60 - p0420 - catalytic converter

Hi Everyone, I hope all is well. I will get straight to the point. Had a p0420 code the other day, ie cat runs below efficiency threshold. Car runs fine. No increase in engine temp nor signs of backpressure. I reset the code drove at least another 100 miles and it hasn't come back yet. I used a scan...

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

I ended up replacing the middle exhaust with a new OEM one and took it to have the flex pipe replaced; used the OEM cat. Also put the rear new KYB shocks I had bought since I had enough ground clearance. I had done the front shocks 3 months ago. Rear shocks were made in Japan while the front are fro...

Re: '04 S60 - flex issues and middle exhaust

Thank you for the input. I am also a fan of saving the original cat especially since it is working properly.


I did order a new middle OEM exhaust. No good decent aftermarket ones. It also seems that. The supply chain for some parts is out of whack.
