2002 S60 adding stereo steering wheel controls

Hello,

On mine 2002 S60 I want to add the steering wheel stereo control buttons. I've a HU 603. Do I just need to install the control buttons or will I need some kind of programming? Is the wiring already there? Has anyone already done that? I couldn't find a related topic...

Thx for your help ...

02 S60, removal front traverse

Hi,

I need to remove the front traverse (see picture) on my S60. I removed the 4 bolts I could find, but the traverse is still in place. I tried to hit it lightly but it doesn't move at all. Is there any other kind of fixing?
Some tips?

Thx

02 S60 2.4 ABS/DSTC warning light on at +/- 195kph (121 mph)

Hi guys,

Last week as I was driving my 2002 2.4 S60 about 195 kph (120mph) I got the warning message ABS/DSTC failure, with both lights on the dashboard on. I slowed down a bit, cut the motor off while driving and put it back on. Warning lights were gone. I tried again to speed up, and again about ...

Re: Cannot put more than 3.5 liters of coolant in 97' V70 2.5LPT

Hi there!

To my big surprise, when I opened the thermostat housing, I couldn't find any! Yes There wasn't any thermostat in the system, it has been removed!
Anyway, now I think my waterpump doesn't work correctly...
As the car needs a new headgasket, I'll have that fixed at the same time.

It is ...

Re: Cannot put more than 3.5 liters of coolant in 97' V70 2.5LPT

Hi!
Thank you for the tip.
What I've done now:
I started the engine and let it warm up, the coolant level dropped down to the MIN mark, but no further. I added coolant (ca. 1liter) to the MAX mark again and started the engine again. But by now I only have about 4,5liters in the system instead of ...

Cannot put more than 3.5 liters of coolant in 97' V70 2.5LPT

Hi there,

Last week I fixed the leaky turbo (one freeze plug was gone) on my recently acquired 97' V70 AWD 2.5 LPT. See this thread:
https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26596

Now it's time to fill the engine again with coolant, and strangely, I cannot get to put more ...

Re: 1997 V70 AWD coolant leak...

Hello!

My turbo is fixed, but not the way I expected it (thread+plug), but reusing the freeze plug, as the turbo wouldn't separate from the exhaust side. So we preferred not to break anything and reused the freeze plug. We cleaned the hole and reshaped the plug to make it fit tight and strong in ...

Re: 1997 V70 AWD coolant leak...

JDS60R, you were right! The freeze plug is gone...I found it on top of the transfer box...Tomorrow I'll take the turbocharger to the machine shop and get it ...

Re: 1997 V70 AWD coolant leak...

Already tried a mirror, I can't get a better view from the hole...
But when I went to feel the hole with a piece of wire, it seemed blocked about 1cm deep, but on the left side of the hole, I can push the wire further in...

Re: 1997 V70 AWD coolant leak...

Can't take a picture, its impossible to get there with the turbo still mounted.
The picture is good, its just a mirror view.
The thread seems to be the same size as the hollow screw for the coolant. I'll try to get a plug with the same size/thread and see how it works...
Maybe I'll just put it on a ...
