  1. General FWD & AWD
    I have a 05 S60 2.5T FWD. I wanted to create this thread to offer some insight to anybody who might be suffering from a misfire condition under acceleration. For a while now I have been going back and forth in this forum looking for answers to the reason why my car might be misfiring under...

    Hello everyone, I was just wondering if it’s worth it to do the rotors and pads myself on my 2005 s60 2.5t? I let my brakes get very bad, which was irresponsible because money is so tight right now (I keep up to date on engine maintenance), and now I haven’t been able to drive my car due to the...

    Hello everyone, A couple of months ago I had my resonator and muffler cut out and had a pipe welded in place. I am very satisfied with the sound, however I recently saw a video of the exact car as mine (no tune), that could create decent pops. I don’t know if there’s a way I can make it pop in...

    My 2009 Volvo S60 2.5T FWD is a hand-me-down from my grandfather, and it has 185k miles. It was hit in the rear passenger door a year and a half ago, got more than what the car is worth from insurance which is why he gave it to me. Got a good deal on fixing & painting the quarter and got a new...

    Hello, as the title suggests these are just the symptoms. I've replaced the coils and plugs less than a thousand miles ago when I had mistakenly hooked up the vvt solenoids backwards. All that did was cause a misfire, but I figured I'd mention it. This is my throttle-body however. The car has...

    I have a 2007 Volvo S60 2.5t and installed a mbc and itll boost to 10 for a few seconds and hold it there but then it drops down to about 4 or something like that. I heard that the fuel cut off and highest you should go is about 14 psi for the 2.5t. I'd like to go to about 11-12 but it seems...

    I have a 04 s60 2.5t that I bought in january of this year and I wrestled with the cam hubs for months but after fixing it and driving it for a few months the transmission is starting to shift a little rough, It has 120,000 miles on it and I don't believe the transmission has been serviced. I...

    Forgive me as I am new to the volvo scene. I recently purchased a 2005 S60 2.5T. The battery was dead when I bought it, so I brought it to the shop to get the entire car checked. They went through the car, tested the alternator and came to the conclusion that the alternator was bad. I replaced...

    I have an 07 S60 2.5t FWD that I would like to lower, planned on going with H&R springs. I had heard previously that lowering these cars can cause alignment issues, particularly rear camber and toe. I started looking around on the forum and see lots of people saying you only need springs to...

    So, my 2012 Volvo S60 T5 has a TF 80 SC Aisin transmission. I know the Polestar tune is supposed to make it shift quicker? Was wondering if Hilton or IPD tunes can do the same. It takes a good half a second for it to shift in manual mode, anything I could do myself to improve this? Also was...

    So this car has about 70k miles on it, relatively on the dot. Just changed the oil, about to change the spark plugs. Wondering if I have to change coil packs with it??? Does it have coil packs?? That aside, should I be purposefully changing out the PCV breather box if it has no issues currently...

    Hi all, didn’t see a thread on this but I thought i’d ask… When swapping R interior bits into your 2.5t, what hiccups can you run into? I have a 2008 2.5t, Im a fan of the Light Taupe but the Blue Nordkap is calling to me lol Initially I thought it would be a simple clip here, bolt here...

    I'm super excited to do some real modifications to my 07 2.5T FWD and am looking at BC coilovers (linked below). I found a great youtube video from Octane Overdrive installing what I think is the same kit on his 05 2.5T. My question is whether or not the suspension systems are exactly the same...

    Today while stopped at a light the engine on my 2007 s60 2.5T started to rumble and shake more than normal (kinda like a hiccup), then it just stopped. I turned off the engine and started it again and it worked fine. I have felt the same rumble while at idle or very low speeds in the past, but...

    Hi I have a 2013 s60 t5 that I just did all of my preventative maintenance on, timing belt, oil changes every 2k miles trans flush as well as everything else to keep the car in top optional running condition. I’m very mechanically educated and understand that tuning/modding these motors can...

    Last week I received news that the reason my Volvo's engine had been misfiring was due to a burnt and partially melted valve on cylinder 2 causing the cylinder to no longer make compression and the mechanic noted sporadic dwell and firing times for that cylinder. I've heard that I could opt to...

    Hi all, looking to get some more bite to my brakes. I have an 07 S60 2.5T w/ 17in wheels. I've heard about a possible XC90 conversion, but I think that may be a little more involved than I'm interested. I was hoping someone could make a good recommendation for a more plug and play upgrade for me...
