These are the most common documented problems for the Volvo S60 (P2), sorted by their typical impact and frequency.

AW55 automatic gearbox flare and valve-body wear

PCV system blockage and oil leaks

medium severity

Five-cylinder petrol engines build crankcase pressure when the breather system blocks, pushing oil out of seals and making the engine smoky or sweaty.
