Replying to: autoboy16 (Mar 24, 2007 5:07 am) autobody16, thanks for posting the link!   From what little is shown, I'm liking the new body style, but will be sticking with my '06 S60 until it poops out . . . Volvo will probably be onto yet another new body style by then.   The 2010 S60 looks a million times better than the latest Acura TL -- what where they thinking with that awful rear design???
#2929 of 2937 Sunroof Shade Distraction by goddess_1 Jul 22, 2009 (2:49 pm)
The sliding shade for my 2006 S60 sunroof has the distracting habit of making squeak noises when I slide it to a fully open position due to road vibrations. It's still under warranty and I have had the dealer investigate 3 times - the previous 2 times, they said they fixed it (first, broken tabs, second, off alignment.) Today, they say can't find the problem - I'm pretty sure it's the Phoenix 110-dgree heat temporarily "melting" the squeak into submission.   Anyway, this has been a relatively non-stop issue that drives me nuts. My remedy has been to pull the shade back out about 2 inches upon which it quiets down. But, I always have to get it "just right."   Anyone else deal with this issue - and get it resolved?

#2931 of 2937 Volvo s60 head rests by gregd1 Jul 12, 2008 (12:00 pm)
I really like the Volvo s60. However the headrests are not adjustable. And during my test drive, my neck really started to hurt. I know they are not adjustable. So this is taking the Volvo off my list.   But do others have this problem also?   I know its for safety in a crash. But the position just seems wrong. making your neck jet forward. and your head stick out in front of your body. Its the old adage, about holding a bowling ball close to your body. As opposed to holding it out way in front of your body. You know? Replies to this message: goddess_1 (Jul 22, 2009 2:24 pm)

Replying to: gregd1 (Jul 12, 2008 12:00 pm) A year later and you finally get a response . . .   The headrest was designed to be ergonomic/keep you safe in the event of an accident, so either you have a goofy one or your neck is out of alignment (and should see a chiropractor). I find the immobile headrest comfortable most of the time . . . being female, it definitely causes neck tension if I wear my hair up. This would be one of my few gripes with the S60.
#2933 of 2937 Headrest? by rapidrick Aug 09, 2009 (8:24 pm)
They are head restraints and are a safety feature to help you from getting whiplash. If an automaker can make head restraints comfortable so folks can use them as "headrests," more power to them. Nothing personal, but basing a car buying decision on that makes as much sense as the number of cup holders a car has...
#2934 of 2937 Transmission by seabass22 Oct 06, 2009 (12:34 pm)
I have a 2004 S60R with an auto transmission and I would like to replace it with a manual one. Has anyone attempted this or is this an impossible feat? Replies to this message: volvomax (Oct 06, 2009 1:40 pm) seabass22 (Oct 07, 2009 7:12 am)

Replying to: seabass22 (Oct 06, 2009 12:34 pm) Not impossible, but not cheap. In addition to all the hardware you will need a new ECU. The auto trans car is detuned from manual trans spec. Merely changing the tranny won't change that. You will need to change the engine programming. Replies to this message: seabass22 (Oct 07, 2009 7:12 am)

Replying to: volvomax (Oct 06, 2009 1:40 pm) Thanks. After reading up on the auto tranny, I have been bound and determined to replace it for the more durable manual. I just wasn't sure if it could be done or if the cost would be more than I want to invest for the pleasure.

Replying to: herblevy (May 13, 2008 12:09 pm) I have the same problem. I have spent alot of money trying to get it fixed by Volvo with no luck. They told me it wasn't anything serious, but the popping drives me crazy. I love my Volvo but I want the popping to stop. Did you ever find out what caused it.
