305mm Brake Caliper brackets

Hey all,

I pulled these 305mm brake calipers off a junkyard S60 a while ago thinking I would swap these on and upgrade my 2.5T's rotor size. I ended up going another route so I don't need these any more but can mail them for the cost of shipping plus a little bit for my time, maybe $20? Negotiable ...

Re: Radiator replacement

I did this not too long ago myself, on my own, also using a floor jack and working slowly. It would have been easier to bring a friend over. Ziptie the intercooler and radiator together into a sandwich. Swing the ac coil out of the way and hang it off a bungee or something. Maneuver the radiator up ...

Re: Bad bearing noise and vibration under drivers feet at 30mph and up

I'd second Blacklab's guess at the prop shaft, only because I had the forward joint go bad and it started vibrating at exactly 30mph. But it was a much more severe, car-shaking vibration than the howling under-driver's-feet vibration you describe. Perhaps it is the same thing manifesting differently ...

Help Locating/Stopping an Oil Leak

Hey all. I went to replace the lower transmission torque mount on my 2006 S60 2.5T AWD and noticed a few liquid drops of oil hanging out on the mount, as well as some evidence of leakage over time (pooling on the top of the splash guard, evidence of oil on the bottom of the oil pan).

Re: 2006 S60 2.5T AWD - Radiator advice

Neil,

Think I answered your other questions in the other thread, but regarding the thermostat, there's more to that than the radiator connection. On my car it was a moderate pita but I was doing a whole bunch of overlapping maintenance so it all kind of worked out (like I think I loosened up the ...

Re: 06 S60 AWD radiator swap + trans refill info please

1. There is a yellow dipstick on top of the trans. Pop the air intake pipe out and you can more easily reach down in there. There's a retaining clip that you'll need to pull out of the way before you can remove the dipstick, just the regular bent metal kind that you move a bit to the side. Buy the ...

I put mine in the line marked "return cooled ATF."

If you don't have an aux cooler, this diagram still works, just imagine the aux cooler isn't there, or that the aux cooler in the diagram is your in-line filter.

Re: Shopping for new rims for 2008 S60 2.5T


FCP sells a spacer set & longer lug bolts. Check your length. When I put spacers on my V70R my lug bolts weren’t quite long enough.



If I remember right, there's also a minimum number of rotations that the lug bolts are supposed to go into the threads.. I think 7 is that magic number? I may ...

Re: How to fix coolant getting into the oil.

Might also be a good idea to check both fluids after running for a bit, and potentially do another swap after putting some miles on following the flushes.

If you check them and both are indistinguishable from normal, then you can probably skip the early fluid changes. The check is the important ...
