Re: S60 Low Oil Pressure warning light

Dear All, What I have learned from my experience with my S60 2001, is that the oil pressure sensor is very sensitive and reacts to minimum variations in oil pressure. First, I took apart the Oil Pan and put a new Gasket (it is a liquid one that gets hard after a while) before puting in place the oil...

Re: S60 Low Oil Pressure warning light

Yeah, you're right Steve; but it is a kind of late. I bought it a month ago and I'm gonna have to live with it for a while. That's why I came to this forum in the first place. All I can do now is share this horror story and listen to all feedback so we all learn from this experience and prevent that...

Re: S60 Low Oil Pressure warning light

J5T, Well, if I go into high RPMs (5,000 or so), for example, by overtaking another car, after a few seconds low pressure light is on and stays on. This is going to sound really crazy: What I have done is, I stop and turn off the car, wait a couple of minutes, turn on the car and.. Voilá!, the light...

Re: S60 Low Oil Pressure warning light

More news:
After the re-seal oil pan job was done, the light never comes on again... if I keep the RPMs below 4,000 !!!. I have done already 400 miles without problems, just by accelerating gently and keeping RPMs below 4,000. It seems that the oil pump is also giving problems....

Re: rough idle

Yes, change Engine Mount; I did it in my 2001-S60 and the vibration was reduced to almost none. (cost: +-USD $200). Also check Control Arm Bushings in Front Suspension.

Re: S60 Low Oil Pressure warning light

Folks, Here you have the answer I got from a Master Volvo Technician through http://www.justanswer.com/: First, it could be as simple as low oil level. I am going to assume that the mechanic checked this but it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to double check... just in case. Also, if the oil viscosit...

Re: S60 Low Oil Pressure warning light

Dear Friends, I have a S60 2001 that I bought two weeks ago with the same problem: the light comes on intermittently. I took the car to a Volvo dealer and they recommended to "reseal oil pan". I took the car to a Volvo mechanic (ex-volvo dealer, 30 years experience) and he gave me a quite ...
