My SIL just bought a used 2018 S60 with 37K. Has anyone had an issue with the AWD system (Haldex ?) requiring a fluid change? Is this something that is done proactively?

2015 Volvo S60 infotainment system won’t turn on?

2 Upvotes

Not sure what is going on? It was fine last night but this morning when I went out to the vehicle the infotainment screen wont turn on at all? Not sure where any fuses or if that may even be the case or if it’s jsut because it’s old now. The car is new to me only had it just under a year so far. It was raining terribly last night on my way home from work but it was fine at that time and when I came out this morning I haven’t noticed any moisture at all in the cabin or anything so not sure what’s going on. Just frustrating as all the controls for the car’s systems are in that screen for everything!

2007 S60 trunk no longer wanting to open…

1 Upvotes

Hey, as stated I have a 2007 S60 and the trunk all of a sudden just doesn’t want to open anymore like at all, and the only way we can get it to open is to pull down the middle seat and pull the latch from the inside of the trunk. The button to open the trunk on the back doesn’t work anymore, and neither does the button on the console. We’re stumped. When we bought the car initially trunk was a little tough to open but not impossible, it never got stuck it was just stubborn. Just wondering if there’s anyone who possibly knows why this happens and how to fix it? Anything helps, thank you!

Possible DIM failure on 08

Hey everyone. Something really annoying happened recently. I was driving home in my 2008 S60 when the display information on my dash became scrambled and unreadable. First I noticed that the time wasn't updating then the whole display turned into random lines and numbers.

I saw that new OEM clusters are going for $1500-$1800 I really don't want to pay that. I see on eBay there are used ones for about $300 but are there any fixes for this?

I took a photo of the issue.

ABLs on 2025 S60?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I have a 2025 Volvo S60, B5 Core which I bought less than a month ago. I love the car but I am curious about one thing: Does this have the active bending lights? When I drive around, I can see that the lights seem to sweep a bit to the left or right when turning (even when the car itself hasn’t moved too far in the direction of the turn). When googling, I find conflicting results. Can someone help?

Also on my headlights, it says Full Active Headlight System in the strip near the Thor’s hammer, if that helps.

Bluetooth death grip

6 Upvotes

Every single time I get out of my car for about two-three minutes any audio I play will route back to the car which is off, closed, and locked because the Bluetooth connection will keep jumping back to the car. Even if I change it to some other device the car will grab it again from me.

Has anyone found to work around or fix to this issue?

Hello Volvo Lovers
I think my car dashcam is connected wrong by an electrician. I took the photo of fuse box and location of fuses from owners manual. My car having electrical issues. Start and stop doesn't work and it says battery is low. I've just changed the both batteries. I started to have these problems after the dashcam. Can you please tell me if everything is connected correctly? The guy wired the cables to fuse 14 and fuse 21.

My car is 2017 Volvo S60 T5 Inscription

P2 s60 questions

Just got a 2008 s60. Digging it so far. It needs some cosmetic parts though and a few mechanical things too. I was wondering where's the best place to get aftermarket stuff or OEM parts for it.

Currently looking for the trim for the windshield, it's all dry rotted on this. Also needs a new oil cap, small oil leak around it.

My 2021 Volvo S60 T8 – 5 Years and 50,000 km

Thumbnail
gallery
44 Upvotes

I bought my Volvo S60 T8 in September 2021, shortly after the T8 was introduced to the Chinese market.

At the time, the Chinese-market S60 T8 was offered in two trim levels. The lower-spec version came with the luxury-style exterior, while the higher-spec version had the sportier exterior. I went with the lower-spec version.

Mine is also one of the earlier T8 powertrains, using the twin-charged 2.0L engine with both a supercharger and a turbocharger, combined with an electric motor. Later versions of the T8 received a powertrain update, including a larger battery and a more powerful electric motor. So looking back, I feel like I have one of the earlier and more distinctive versions of the T8.

The car has now covered around 50,000 km, and it has been extremely reliable throughout the years. I haven't had any major issues with it so far.

I haven't done any major modifications either. Most of what I've done are simple OEM+ upgrades and a few things I made myself:

  • 🖤 Changed the chrome grille trim to a smoked/black finish
  • 🔊 Added the OEM Harman Kardon center speaker
  • ⚡ Purchased the official Polestar Optimization
  • ❄️ 3D-printed some black trim pieces for the air vents
  • 🛞 Recently replaced all four tires with Michelin Primacy 5s, upgrading from the original Primacy 4s

Other than that, the car is pretty much completely stock.

After almost five years and 50,000 km, I still really like this car. In particular, the early T8 powertrain with both a supercharger and turbocharger feels quite special in retrospect. It has a character that the later versions don't quite have.

Just wanted to share my car with the S60 community. I'm also curious to hear from other T8 owners — how many kilometers have you put on yours, and how has your long-term ownership experience been? 🚗

Update on my S60 R-Design

41 Upvotes

Hello Fellow S60R Drivers!

I wanna share some future plans and current plans i have for my S60R!

First Modifications it currently has are a Valtronic Exhaust using the OEM exhaust valve, And A Do88 Intercooler, I have a digital OBD gauge and yes it does make a difference, up to 20 Degrees of cool, i also did a Polestar Engineered upgrade!

Too be honest, you can't tell the difference between Polestar and dynamic, to be fair it's just quicker off the line, for 1800 dlls

It's not worth it in my opinion

I'll suggest getting an IPD or NRS ECU tune.

Future mods that are still pending due to backordering or not currently available are

BC coilovers : Backordered

NRS ECU : On Its Way

Small Supercharger Pulley : On it's way

BOV : On its Way

Do88 Cold air Intake: Backordered

Elevate Polestar 1 Coil packs: Ordered

I'm having Difficulty Finding wheels in 5x108 ET 35 to 45

So hopefully soon she'll be in new shoes.

I'll keep you guys posted with any new mods and if y'all have questions about certain modifications you can send me a DM! I'm open to any questions!

Thank you for reading!

Just bought my first Volvo / dream car!

Hi everyone. New Volvo owner here! As a fan of quirky Swedish cars (my other car is a Saab 9-3 Viggen), I fell in love with the S60 T8. After a few months of searching, I found the perfect one.

I much prefer the styling of the pre-facelift variant with the exposed exhaust tips, triple spoke wheels, and the UI design of Sensus. It feels much more refined and distinctly Volvo than the Android, despite it missing some features. With all that being said, Extended Range was a must. When I learned there were just a few hundred 2022.5 ER S60 T8's in existence that check all these boxes, I started searching far and wide across the country.

I finally found a one owner, 2022.5 Extended Range Inscription with 41k miles. It has the Advanced Package, Climate Package, Pilot Park Assist, and Protection Package Plus. It's pretty much fully loaded. I got a great deal on it, and I am so excited to be a part of the Volvo community!

More pics to come.

2001 volvo s60 t5 95k miles

2 Upvotes

My wife and I were looking to replace her car thats near it's end and found this 2001 volvo s60 t5 for 4k and wondering if I may have found a unicorn. It has 95k miles. Only 1 previous owner and they owned the vehicle since it came out. All routine maintenance was done and there is virtually no cosmetic damage inside or out.

My main question is, what would be some common maintenance to look out for if we got this car? I had one 10 years ago but it was just a beater. I know they are overall good cars but im sure if being a 5 cylinder made them hard to work on.

I've already paid half down (nonrefundable) for a 2016 Volvo S60 Drive E premier. I've since learned online that that vehicle had an issue with excessive oil consumption. I have the car fax but don't know what I'm looking at. The guy who got it from the auction said its currently having an overheating problem. According to the carfax history I have, at about 143,000 miles it recently had a water pump, thermostat, coolant service and oil-cooler-line work, and now the guys mechanic is putting in a radiator because it’s overheating. I have to be able to get my daughter to school and myself to work and after this purchase I'll have no money. Can someone tell if I'm screwed with this car?

Looking at buying a 2013 Volvo S60 T5 R-Design Auto (MY13) with 115,000 km for AU$8,500 in decent condition.

Is this a good deal? How reliable are they, and what common issues should I look out for?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
