Hey guys,

Hoping to get some opinions on the 2002 S60 AWD as far as reliability is concerned.
Also was wondering if anyone knows if I could put LPG on this model?
By the way I'm in Australia if thats of any consequence.

Thanks

Welcome to MVS.
Not sure about the Australian models but in Europe model years tend to be one year ahead of us here in the U.S. Therefore a European '02 is really a U.S. '03. From '03, the AWD system changed to Haldex, which is a much sturdier system. Don't get the model that proceeds this as it tends to have issues. Other than this, I know very little about the S60.

02 S60s are HALDEX, they were made one year earlier than the V70
I had one, generally a very decent car
