Re: 2006 s60 2.5t looking to buy

I found these notes in my file. Probably from this or another owner's forum site: "Front suspension bushings, sway bar links, and the spring seat/shockabsorber isolator, and fuel pressure sensor failures affect all P2s. 2004 R and non turbo models were first with the fuel pressure sensor but in...

2007 S60 Sideview mirror vibration

Hello, friends. I was riding shotgun in my wife's 2007 S60 yesterday and noticed that at 50mph and above, the passenger-side sideview mirror vibrates quite a bit. It seems to be the glass and not the entire mirror assembly that is moving. Any suggestions on what is going on, and how to fix it, would...

Re: 2005 V70 2.5T buying advice

I had a 1996 850 with 200,000 miles, now have a 2005 V70 with 85000 miles. Hate to say it but the handling, roominess, and style of the 850 was superior. If I could have found an 850 in good condition when I needed to buy a new car (my 850 was victim of hit/run), I would have.

2007 S60 Headlamp lens coating query

My wife bought a used 2007 S60 from a dealer last summer. It had about 75000 miles on it. I notice that the headlamp lenses seem to be flaking off an outer coating, revealing a cloudy surface below. My suspicion is that the lenses were scratched up at some point, and a coating added to fix/mask this...

2007 S60 replace sidemarker lightbulbs

Seems like this would be a simple one but I can't figure out how much stuff -- including windshield fluid reservoir? -- I need to remove to get to the side marker lightbulb. This is the orange bulb behind the orange-tinted lens at the very end of the headlamp clusters.
Thanks for any tips!

Thanks for that, Mike. I was not checking with engine running; will do so. Are you supposed to check it running for the "Cold" measurement as well as the "Hot"?

Re: 2001 V70 2.4T ATF simple Drain and Fill...

I read all the posts and have done two drain & fills on my 2005 V70. My question relates to the accuracy of the dipstick reading. On the first drain,I drained about 4 qts of ATF, and put 4 in, and the dipstick indicated it was grossly overfilled. The second drain, I got out about 4 qts, put in o...
