2003 S60 fog light assembly replacement

Sorry if this is a repeat - I can't figure out the search function. Has anyone posted a procedure to replace the left front fog light assembly on a 2003 S60 2.4T? Can this be done without loosening or removing the bumper? I hear that the top torx screw is difficult to reach.
Thanks.

Re: C30 LED Running Lights

Thanks for the deluge of responses. Lo and behold, the dealer found the correct software from Volvo and says a download will solve this issue.

C30 LED Running Lights

I just bought a 2012 C30 T5 Premier Plus. Great car so far; a blast to drive. The Premier Plus package comes with daytime LED running lights in place of the fog lights. Upon delivery, the LED running lights did not work no matter the position of the light switch. The owners manual says that in the &...

2003 S60 Bumper Removal

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I'm having trouble finding a decent procedure for this. I need to replace a passenger side headlight lens on my wife's S60 and it appears that I need to remove the bumper to do this. Does anyone have a procedure (with photos) for doing this? I've seen instructions to r...

2003 S60 Battery Replacement

My battery is getting weak and may need replacement. I notice that the original Volvo battery has a ventilation hose that exits near the top side of the battery and vents through the floorboard. Do aftermarket replacement batteries have this feature? If not, is the hydrogen gas vapor in the trunk a ...

2003 S60 2.4T Coolant 45K miles

My wife's 2003 S60 needs some coolant. It's so freekin hot now in Dallas that I don't think there's a leak. I was wondering what sort of antifreeze besides Volvo's is OK to use for topping off. It's a bit of a drive to the dealer. Sorry if this question is a repeat, but I couldn't find anything in t...

Thanks, MIJ. The quote for the repair was around $600 and they usually use only Volvo parts, so that price sounds reasonable. If aftermarkets are $125 each, we're in the ballpark. Occasionally they use other parts, such as Victor Rocha's ABS rebuilds. I'm getting too old to do much car work. Like I'...

2003 S60 2.4T

I have an '03 S60 2.4T with 44,000 miles. I bought it used from a non-dealer Volvo specialist at 35,000 miles. It came certified for 3 months bumper to bumper. On my last visit for oil change and trans flush, I was informed that it needed new control arm bushings. He said it's common in Dallas with ...

I own an '03 S60T. My non-dealer Volvo guy says the S60 is the finest car Volvo has ever made and would not nickle and dime us like our S70 did. He has a low opinion of early S80s.
