Object stuck in headlight?

It looks like a clip or something that came loose inside the headlight. Anyone ever experience this or have any insight on how to get it out?

Why volvo s60

I really want an s60 but I'm curious how the car compares to an Audi A4 or BMW 3 series? Any past owners of either car? Why did you choose the s60?

I'm pretty sure I'm never going to get an Audi or BMW but I guess I'm just worried if I spend £20-30k if I'm missing out on anything choosing the s60 over either of its competitors.

Is it worth it?

I'm so close in pulling the trigger on this one. My only concern is the 77,000 miles it has. It was a fleet vehicle that's why the high mileage. It's certified by Volvo plus the dealership offers lifetime warranty

Spa Volvo s60 T6 Custom Intake

Hey guys, I just bought a 2019 s60 and I love it but I want more intake noise. I know there are off the shelf cold air intakes you can buy for the car but they’re stupid expensive to get where I’m at. Does anyone have any experience with making their own intake? I’m thinking about just buying a high quality cone filter and just putting that on the end of the intake pipe. My one predicament is figuring out what to do about the MAF sensor.

Please let me know if y’all have any suggestions.

Thanks!

T8 Center Console and Hwy Range

Hi all,

I’ve been looking at an S60 T8 for a few years now and I’m finally getting close to scoring one, hopefully by the end of the year and I’ve got a couple questions.

In terms of the center console, with it being as deep as basically a pack of playing cards, I’m wondering how T8 owners utilize it, and what you guys do about the lack of storage from the battery.

My commute to work is 20 miles total, primary highway, wondering if using hybrid or pure would be economical for that? I’ve seen it’s a good idea to hold the battery during highway drives but I think they mean more lengthy drives. Surely it’s fine for that commute but I figure I’d see what you guys think.

Also for level 1 charging it comes with, how long give or take does it take to go from 0-100? I feel like it won’t be very often that I deplete the whole battery but I know level 1 is lengthy compared to level 2 but I live in an apartment that I don’t think will accommodate level 2.

Thanks!

V50 to S60 CC; Yes, Oil… I Know

My lovely 07’ V50 with 195,000 miles needed to be turned in for parts. I had the classic sunroof drainage problem, the electrical system was on the fringe and among a number of other issues (happy to talk in more detail there, drove that car 130k miles myself and kept it up!) it had to go.

Due to a number of circumstances, my budget and time, I was lead to a clean title 2016 S60 CC. Yes, it’s the T5, inline 5 cylinder with a chassis number in the piston ring flaw group.

The car has 68,800 miles on it. It was garage kept and the car is clean as can be. It has not had any major work done, and the maintenance record is great (mostly Volvo dealerships).

I know, the piston ring issue can occur at any point. However, I really need to get 20,000 miles out of this car over the next 3-4 years. Is there anything I can do to reduce my chances of having something go majorly wrong? I’ve driven the car about 700 miles with no noticeable reduction in oil level. I’ve checked the tail pipes and no oil.

Thanks for any help!

Cleaning and protection advice

I’ve been wondering what products you guys are using to clean and protect the material located over the center console. I have a 2017 s60 inscription

Anyone oversize their SPA 18's to a 235 50 18?

I live in the northeast of the US and some roads leave little to the imagination. I know its already a sporty tuned suspension but I sometimes wish I had a little more meat to cushion than the stock 235 45 18. Its within 3% but I am curious about rubbing or suspension travel.
