S70 versus S60 S60

posted by  someone claiming to be Dutchman on  Mon Dec 29 23:54 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I own a S60 2001 140 HP. 2001 is the first MY and that's what I experienced. A lot of relatively simple problems all fixed by the dealership under warranty. So when you purchase a used S60, all those problems have likely been fixed by the previous owner. To mention a few:

- lot of s/w upgrades (ECM and ETM)
- new foam isolation of right mirror to reduce wind noice
- heat shield/ exhaust mounting to avoid resonance (@2900 rpm)
- head light venting
- door locks
- whiper adjustment/ new whiper type
- ...

Nothing real serious. Except something I posted at the "850/ALL" site December 29: "knock/Pinging with RON-95 (this is a midgrade in Europe) in 2nd gear full throttle". Have a look there.

I have 55000 kms on my S60 and I can really recommend it. Note however that it is smaller (in the back) than the S70!

Regards,

Dutch
