View S60 (P2) DirectoryBuying Tips for the Volvo S60 (P2)
- ✓Geartronic cars should shift cleanly from cold and stay smooth once hot; flare or a thump into drive is a proper warning sign
- ✓Five-cylinder petrols need proof the PCV system has been renewed before crankcase pressure pushes oil out of seals
- ✓Watch the instrument cluster carefully during the whole drive because intermittent DIM faults are common and annoying
- ✓A well-kept D5 or 2.4T with evidence of suspension work is usually a better used buy than a cheap performance-looking car on old parts
