Beechwood probably refers to wood from the beech tree, rather than driftwood found on a beach.

The blower motor can be fixed in about five minutes with a spritz of lubricant from the cowl side under the wipers. Look it up, many instructions on KZfaq and elsewhere. Lasts for years, then redo.

More of this type of content please. Thanks!

good info. I am just getting one of these so im glad to hear overall good things.

Love the video. I have the same exact car. I had my ECU modded to stage 1 by Hilton. The car screams now like an R design.

Had an V60 D6 2015 a few years, gave me a lot of joy and 6000 miles(metric) in 3 years before I sold it for a Cupra. Love the comfort in the seat´s, handling and the space when 4 people travels threw Europe.

Just bought a p3 s60 on November 2021, it's excellent. Glad to see this video come out though.

Great video! I have a red V60 T4F from 2014. Main reason i bought it was because it looks really good and fairly aggressive/sporty too but nothing too much, while it also being a very safe car. It’s a really great and smooth car to drive, just hope I’ll have a fairly troublefree ownership haha!

I have a 2016 S60 T5 Inscription Platinum 2.0L. Great content - more please! I am looking for content that is DIY related - changing cabin filters/air filters, cleaning air system, etc. 😀

This is the greatest car I've ever owned 👏 I had a t5,t6 and id do it again idc only car id ever want

These seats are amazing but previous generation had also very comfortable seats- loved these semi leather- in my opinion you can complain about some thing in Volvo cars but you can't say bad word about seats. I do trips 423 miles long every month without any stops and I leave a car without any pain. There is one thing to S60/V60 worth noting, driving position is quite high so if you like to sit closer to the ground like in BMW then you can be disappointed about how low you can go. I have ocean race package with 18" rims and I also went for standard profile tyres and changed to 235/45R18 XL. So for anyone wondering if they can fit I have none problems. I also had problem with bent rims but it might because of low profile tyres or how previous owner driven.

Thanks for the video - as nice as the car looks the number of problems caused by design flaws would rule it out as a good buy imho. Also would be great if you mentioned the year and noted that the T6 is the 4 cylinder version...

This video was great 👍🏻.

2016 V60 T5 premier. Bought last year, put over 25K miles on it and besides oil changes virtually zero maintenance (and I look out for issues). This is a very comfortable, reasonably fast and nice-looking car. I hope I don't jinx myself by saying all that, but sincerely I'm very happy with this car so far.

Earned a sub. +like! Love it!

I bought a CPO 2015.5 V60 T5 Cross Country just over 2 years ago to replace my '07 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi. I love the V60 but I miss my Saab and will get another 9-5 as a weekend car one day. I got the Cross Country because I wanted the extra ride height and thought the grill was more aesthetic. The legacy 5 cylinder engine was a must as well & MPG wasn't a big deal stepping out of a 9-5. I average 23+ MPG though my husband can achieve over 25 MPG when he drives it loll LOVE how the engine sounds on a cold start and love it almost as much as the 2.3T 4 cylinder in my Saab. Only had a few issues replaced under warranty, gears stripped in drivers side mirror - wouldn't fold in/out, EVAP leak detection pump assembly, & the backlit window switches in drivers door started to go dark button by button until the whole unit would no longer be illuminated at night. Just discovered the height adjustable passenger side seat belt will no longer go up or down & need to get it looked at before my warranty expires in June. Just replaced my tires with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and love them so far! It is hard to keep this car under 90 MPH on the highway!! I plan on keeping this car for a very long time. My husband custom ordered a XC60 B5 AWD with wool seats and Bowers & Wilkins audio. It should be here any week now!! My next car will be electric.....maybe a Polestar??

Got the 2012 V60 T6 here in Aus, over 200k kms on the clock, going strong, only issue had to replace an alternator. Can attest the suspension feels so stiff on the 19s, have buckled a rim going over a pothole!

Been watching your P3 vids :) I've had my 2017 V60 CC for just over a year it's been a great upgrade from the old XC90 lug. Just one quick question, the sticker in my engine bay says to use 5w30 but online it shows 0w20?? I'm in Canada but park inside so cold starts aren't happening alot. Thx.

The auto reverse function works very well, but is quite unnerving to use at first. My wife hates it and refuses to use it. 😉 She says the reversing camera does just fine.

I'll be getting one soon...I love my 06 XC70

Just a quick gut reaction here but I'm sure blis is just the acronym for blind spot I dictator system. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not lol Anywhere I love the ride and this had inspired me to pull the trigger on one.

Good walkthrough of the V60. Found a base model 2016 (only option is keyless start) with 19k. Was curious to see if I was missing out on other options and it sounds like even with the better suspension and wheels you have to live with a harsher ride. I personally think the base 17s with the stock suspension is already a bit on the firm side, but I’m just used to floaty cars!

I have the same car, except that it's dark gray and has light colored leather, with the performance suspension. I love it. It feels the same at 120 mph as it does at 60 mph so I have to remember to use that cruise control. Best mileage I've seen on a tank is 39 mpg, but with my lead foot I average 35 mpg.

Is there anyone in the comments here who have owned a p3 v70 and a v60 that could tell me how they compare in terms of comfort (like road bumps, noise etc..) and driveability, id imagine the v60 feels more sportier. I currently own a 2012 xc60 with the d3 twin turbo engine and it is an absolute riot to drive since it also has a stage 2 tune but it is by far the most uncomfortable ride of all the volvos ive owned, every single imperfection let alone bump in the road really "rackets" the car about, in comparison to the 2011 s80 i had the chance to drive for about 10 minutes, that thing absorbed bumps without issue and barely had any road noise with 17" wheels. Id like to get a p3 v70 next but im also eyeing the v60 since it's a tad smaller and i live alone so the v70 would be a bit needlessly large but if the v70 is as premium feeling as the p2 gen v70 then id be inclined to go with that. My xc60 feels like a tin can when closing the doors, it has that ugly echoey sound to it which the p2 v70 didnt.

I have a 2013 V60 D3 Teknik, 5 cylinder diesel that produces 160Hp and 400nm torque, came with 17" x 8" wheels with 235/45 Michelin tyres. I have 78,000 Miles on the clock and I replaced the timing belt and water pump at the 75,000 mile mark. No other problems with the car considering its 11 years old.

I've got a 2014 S60 T6, working on having the fastest daily driven P3 in Texas, or at least in the DFW area.

Just bought nearly the same car, except mine is the T5 Premier. I'm already seeing oil consumption issues though and am really concerned it's the piston ring issue. I love the car though and don't want to turn it around already.

I guess I'm might try and make some videos of my s60 P3 t6. Not much going on YT.

We have a p80, p1 (1st and 2nd gen), p2 and a p3. Our p3 will go into a sort of limp mode randomly, it shifts through all the gears it’s just sluggish and surgy with no boost. Restart and it is perfect again. Under no certain circumstances. No codes in any of the modules. Have y’all heard about this?

I thought the P3 piston issue was resolved around 2011 and not 12, 13 …..? Was that non turbo 3.2?

I recently purchased a P3 2017 VOLVO XC60 T6 r design. I accidentally left the map light on and now my power drivers seat doesn’t work and my glove box light doesn’t turn on. What do you think happened to my Volvo??

@FCP Euro, I love your content all the way from Kenya. I have the 2011 S60 T4, DrivE 1.6 Ltr Ecoboost Petrol engine. Black Fabric interior. Haven't really seen this particular model online. Would love some more insights on it. Currently at 100k miles after driving for two years ex-Japan. Would appreciate a reply on some questions. 1. When should I replace the timing belt and pulleys? 2. When should I change the gearbox Transmission fluid, also which one should I use, Motul DCTF or Aisin? 3. What else do I need to look out for with my specific model?

I have a 2017 combo XC60 T-6 R design with the dual motor engine. I purchased it 4 months ago with 50,149 miles and currently have 67,777 miles. I’m noticing a clink, clink, clink sound as if it’s from the turbo. Does that sound correct? Is it safe to drive? I just returned from Jackson, Mississippi to my home in New Mexico. Thank you

Please review the S60 Polestar (4-cylinder)

The only think I dislike about my r design is the limiter at 130

I own a 2015 v60 t5 base fwd model. It’s an awesome car! I got almost 80k and never had an issue with it except for a failed ac compressor, I did put one from a salvaged v60. Just recently put new brake pads on all 4 wheels. I never had it fixed under the excessive oil consumption tech bill and it doe eat about 1-1.5qt in about 10k miles, but I always use liqui moly Volvo spec oil ever since I bought it with 25k miles in 2016. BTW I do get my oil change kit from FCP Euro. I recently added a 2018. Xc90 t6 to the fleet as well.

I recently bought s60 2012 1.6 drivE Diesel 88kw engine and compared to my 2014 1.6 iDtec Honda CRV Volvo lacks a lot of pulling Power in 1st and 2nd gear, it fells like it has a Trailer attached to it when I start. Is this general case with this engine od should I have my engine checked?

is it possible to get a dynamic with the harmon kardon system in the dynamic trim? or do i have to go to the rdesign? Cause im not really sure how reliable the twin charged engines are and i plan to keep my car well past the 150k mark.

Hi, FCP team.Have you ever record remove cowl grille of volvo s60 2016 video?

I have a quick question about the V60/S60. According to the manufacturer, the windshield has a protective film to block UV Rays but this affects the toll tag. I have positioned it where the manufacturer suggests, 1 inch next to the housing of the rearview mirror and 1 inch from the top, but still sometimes does not work. Do you experience this same issue?

It’s not beech wood or beach wood (drift wood), but it is sandal wood color leather. It is much more attractive than the beige or palomino (tan) leather that is so often seen in older Mercedes cars. Sandal wood Has a much richer hue!

I LOVE this V60

Its a shame the V70 was discontinued so abruptly in the US, and its also a shame you guys didnt get the D5 engine. Its a peach! Torque for days.

That blower motor is going bad and will need replacement. Believe me, I know.

I would like to ask you for advice. I would buy a Volvo V60 and currently there are in the offer from 2018 D3 150hp with 145,000 miles and from 2016 D2 120hp with 95,000 miles. Can you recommend which one would be a better choice? Thank you!

Just so you know, if you know what you are dooing, you dont need to take the dash out to swap the fan. You do need the spesial tool to release the fan thoug. I know this, because i have done this many many times. Adrian Volvo master tech 😁

Can you provide a link to that forum about piston rings and engine oil consumption. I own a 2014 Volvo S60 and wouldn't mind having this on hand. My engine does consume a little bit of oil. If and when I have to replace my piston rings, do you know if I'd be able to fit the newer, updated ones? Thanks!

"Want to drive?" "Uh... I'll let you drive" Re-watching this after discovering my oil consumption issue and reading between the lines, I'm realizing you guys are saying you don't like this car.

I just had that code pop up, check coolant, does that mean my water pump is fucked

Thats my doubts Here a S60 T5 with a Ecoboost 2.0T its almost the same price as a C30 T5. I have the feeling the P1 its more reliable and cheaper to maintain. Whats your thoughts? Cheers from Brazil

Dang, the 336 mm only feel adequate? My 3.0L RD only came with 316 mm, am I cooked?

That blower motor isn't bad with 2 people If one has long arms. You can get away with just taking out the glove box and speedometer/display.

2015.5 V60 T5 with the oil consumption issue.

I like his taste in cars

Im in college but Im looking at a 2015-18 Volvo S60 bcuz Volvo saved my life and I will always like them but which engine do you recommend? The 2.0 4 cyl the 3.0 t6 or 2.5 cyl t5

i wouldve thought the 8speed that came in the p3 are borgwarner dual clutch transmissions?

My volvo s60 t4 2.0 L 190 hp 2016 has a high oil consumption... Around 1 liter every 4,000 km... Dealer says all is fine, no leaks, no emissions haha... Is this related to the piston rings?

Are these cars safe compared to newer models? I guess they probably have a strong safety cage.....

Also I have the Premier Plus like the one in the video best interior ever. 19" wheels etc. One of my wheels has a small crack and leaks air. I have to fill it every few days.

It’s not beach wood it’s beech wood which is a type of tree.

Got a 2007 S60 2.5t and I wish I had the money for a P3 😭

Every Volvo I’ve had the blower has squeaked when cold

you want to see a long term test? contact me about my 2008 v70 wagon. 262k miles. minor maint only.

Wait, american V60 T6 has only 240 hp?! 😮

Beechwood not Beach wood.

I love my car but ... engine oil consumption issues... It has lost compression in cylinder 3. I can not afford to fix it and still owe money on it... I wish there was a video on how to change the piston rings...

Do you really believe that car is a good car? 10 years from now that car will not be supported by Volvo. Has the oil consumption coming along?

Have a V60. I will never buy a Volvo again. The quality and reliability is no long in the brand. Plus the 2nd highest depreciation rate in the industry. Huge disappointment.

FIRST

It's BEECH wood! Smh

Washed up wood on the beach 🤣🤣 Christ

One thing I know is volvo suck. So expensive to repair. They charge you like it's a Lamborghini for Pete sake. The repairs are so expensive you could buy that car twice because of that. I hate these things so much. They are loud from road noise, wind, clunky, jerky, rattle in bumps so on.

Tell me you have bad taste in cars without telling me you have bad taste in cars ?

I love my P3 V60 but i could not bring myself to get the 4 cyl turbo I waited a while to find a 5cyl turbo
