Replying to: badger22 (Nov 19, 2008 8:26 am) Not sure this is going to help a great deal but.............Xenons' are a much brighter blue/white light. Unless you have midget/triple jointed fingers, getting a bulb out to look-see can be tricky, (at least from late '06 on). There may be a more definite way to ascertain which type you have. Look at this forum; quite possibly the best Volvo forum on the 'net. Great bunch of people and answers for just about everything - either in previous posts or by asking the question. Try a topic search first. There is an S60 section.   Volvo Owners Replies to this message: frankctx1 (Nov 19, 2008 5:00 pm) badger22 (Nov 28, 2008 11:52 am)

Replying to: alltorque (Nov 19, 2008 9:26 am) Very helpful, thanks. I was nearly certain they were not Xenons, and was correct.
#2912 of 2937 Re: transmission work in las vegas?? [alextung] by cdpar2000 Dec 16, 2008 (9:10 pm)
Replying to: alextung (Jun 09, 2008 7:58 am) Hello Alex. I've researched a lot. The trouble with the 2001 S60 is a feature Volvo built into the transmission. You can discuss this with the dealer. The idea was, when idling at a stoplight the transmission disengages from the engine, thus saving fuel. Unfortunately the constant disengagement / engagement causes the transmission to fail prematurely, but after warranty! You might feel the trans slip or something called flare up (engine revs) or even a clunking while the trans downshifts. Neither Volvo of North America or the dealership will repair this under extended warranty although this is a COMMON issue. It cost me $4,000 to have mine replaced. Careful about the drive shafts, another common issue is suspension components (bearings, spring seats) that fail. This could be misdiagnosed as drive shafts. Plead your case to Volvo of NA, maybe you'll have better luck than me. I will never own another Volvo as a result of this experience.

Volvo has replaced transmissions under extended warranty. I have NEVER heard of Volvo failing to do this unless there was a clear case of abuse involved. I HAVE heard of aftermarket warranty companies jerking people around, but Volvo VIP doesn't do that.

I bought a used 2004 S60 which had the message screen output in French. I need to change it to English for my wife. How can I do this, or must I go to a Volvo dealer? It seems simple enough. Catman01 Replies to this message: volvomax (Dec 27, 2008 7:53 am)

Replying to: catman01 (Dec 26, 2008 6:26 pm) Almost certain that has to be done by the dealer.

Thanks, Volvomax! I will try going to the dealer but I can't help thinking that a few maneuvers of the buttons will do it. Perhaps similar to the info for re-setting the service interval light? ( swedespeed.com of 02/24/05) Going to the dealer would mean they would have to use the proprietary Volvo software to do it, and I doubt that this would be required. If you can find out about this I would appreciate it. Thanks! Replies to this message: volvomax (Dec 30, 2008 10:15 am)
#2917 of 2937 Should I buy: 2004 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD? by stockitome Dec 28, 2008 (4:52 pm)
We have driven Volvo's for almost 40 years. Our first was a 1970 that we had for 14 years until my husband lost control of the car when a bee flew in front of his face and ran into a 2 ft high concrete curb (for lack of a better word). He had 4 students in the car with him. He thought he had just ruined the tired but instead the entire passenger side frame was totalled. Fortunately, NO one hurt. We owned four 240's (one wagon that my husband rolled over in and climbed out without a scratch.) We now own a 1998 which seems to be getting to the point of needing too many expensive repairs, yet our 1991- 240 station wagon is hanging in there. I've heard since Ford bought Volvo's, they aren't what they use to be. The 240's can turn on a dime. I'm reading the 06 has terrible turning radius. Are the newer Volvo's worth the money? I'm looking to spend less than $15,000 and I found 2 dealer that has an 04 AWD S60 2.5T for $14,500.
