Re: 02 Volvo s60 custom subwoofer build
Final finish could be improved but is acceptable and cheap. If the sub wasn't designed to be removed could be finished better I'm sure too

Re: 02 Volvo s60 custom subwoofer build
To make tidy in the car I simply cut a larger section of the remaining carpet and used velcrow strips to secure in place on various parts of the boot structure. This seemed to work well and was very cheap. I wanted to have something that made removal easy as I use my boot for bikes etc but blend it ...

02 Volvo s60 custom subwoofer build
Hi all
I just thought I would share my recent experience of building and fitting a slightly more space friendly subwoofer enclosure into the boot of the s60 in case anyone was interested.

Re: Volvo s60 t5 oil loss no leak or smoke
Update ...
Oil consumption has improved and a rev from idle shows less to no smoke, however still using a fair bit of oil so I'm not sure now. Guess valve stem seals or stuck oil control ring?

Re: Volvo s60 t5 oil loss no leak or smoke
Not specifically no. The car has 80k miles and had a terribly blocked pcv when I got it 1k ago so I think it has had a bad history of oil changing and used for short runs so never really warmed up properly and probably driven harshly from cold etc. that's my guess anyway.

Re: Volvo s60 t5 oil loss no leak or smoke
If anyone is interested I Have repeated the earlier video having done the change and there seems to be a slight improvement with less blue smoke puffed out... Time will tell I guess!

Re: Volvo s60 t5 oil loss no leak or smoke
Thank you for your suggestion but yes I have looked here and all is dry. I had a leak there in the past but that was coming from a missing bolt in the top of the head!
