Re: Starting problems hot weather 2001 S60

It doesn't appear to make a difference where I buy gas from, I still have the same problem. It's a temperature related problem. The engine starts fine in the winter, no problems in the morning either. I just wasted $180 having the RPM sensor repaired. Still the problem persists. I'm thinking maybe t...

Starting problems hot weather 2001 S60

My 2001 Volvo S60 2.4T 148,000 miles starts up fine in the winter and in the morning's in the summer. However, if its 85 degrees or above in the summer and the car is warmed up and I'm running errands, stopping and restarting the engine.

Re: Should I buy a new tranny, have the old one rebuilt, or

Sure is especially when dealer cost is about $1800! Well when you put it that way, sounds like a great deal... for the dealer!

Re: Should I buy a new tranny, have the old one rebuilt, or

Hi, I'm in a similiar transmission situation. Except I drive an S60 and I wasn't lucky enough to get one given to me for free. At the moment I'm leaning towards a rebuilt Volvo transmission from the dealer, about $4000. I have had different quotes from independent transmission shops, one was almost ...
