VOLVO S60 of the first generation. All reviews of owners about Volvo S60 I restyling. Typical problems and malfunctions

Volvo made attempts to get away from the image of the supplier of cars for pensioners and those who are in no hurry. The last attempt, it seems, succeeded, but it was far from the first time. At the beginning of the two thousand years, the main task began to abandon the suitcase design and a little "cheer" cars. Easy restyling of old good volvo 850 and 960 spawned very interesting from the point of view of the image and appearance S70 and S90, but was needed another step towards dynamic appearance and good manageability. In addition, in 1999, the Volvo passenger vehicle was transferred to the property of Ford Corporation, which means that it was possible to radically update the range of models on a newly new and modern platform developed recently for this.

The VOLVO S60 model was based on exactly this, exactly then the fresh Volvo P2 platform. On her, a new flagship was released, model S80, and after him, the entire range of car cars was transferred to it: S60, V70, XC70, XC90. Is that the smallest S40s were made on a completely different database. But wait, it's not all. The development of the Swedes turned out to be so successful that Ford adapts it a little, slightly having, abandoning several wheelbase options, using steel suspension levers and some other changes, and called the D3 platform, and in the version for crossovers - D4. Machines on these platforms are not very famous in Russia, except that it is on it, but in the United States on this "cart" a few more prestigious models of Lincoln are produced, for example, MKS, MKT and others.

It must be said that the task of changing the image of the Swedish constructors was performed only partially. The cars were far away from emphasized square boxes of the 90s, gained much more dynamic appearance and less obforn salons, but here the car controllability still remained sharpened under the "Volvo drivers" - no new multi-dimensional suspensions, rejection of transverse springs and more powerful motors not Made a movement on a gambling machine. Just the excellent calm handling of these cars has become even better, a little more active and much safer. The appearance of the S60 is made in the new corporate style of the development of Peter Horbury, and the characteristic rudies of that design are well noticeable in new generations of all brand cars. We can safely say that the style of "six oxades" set tone for all brand cars for two decades ahead. By the way, it is not surprising that the S60 looks better than the larger S80 - the design was made precisely for the average Volvo, but in favor of marketing "stretched" to a larger flagship, which it was necessary to release first. The appearance of the car, maybe not so defiantly beautiful, like VOLVO C70 or 262 BERTONE, but it is clearly "out of time," is not deprived of the grace and is also very characteristic. Versions until restyling 2004 are pleased with such a characteristic feature of Swedish machines, as the wipers on the headlights and the indispensable elements of black plastic on the bottom of the bumpers - the sharpening for a stern northern climate with its snowdrifts and sludge on the roads. Please note the second Swedish manufacturer - Saab - also has this "Swedishness" in the appearance of cars of those years of release. Restyled cars of these pleasant options are deprived of, they have "ordinary" washers and solo bumpers, which frost and scratch, like everyone else.

As part of the equipment, the Swedes remained within the framework of the earlier model 850. There were applied in line five-cylinder engines, which have already managed to become a business card of the brand, as well as turbochards. Apparently, something in Sweden contributes to the development of turbobs - if you remember, Saab is also a big dock in this part, the motors of both brands are a very popular product for tuning in the category "From three hundred and thousands of forces". But, unlike compatriots, Volvo tremblely treated the release of all-wheel drive versions of machines, which was clearly useful on snow roads, and even in combination with powerful engines. In the new generation of cars made a serious step forward: instead of old-fashioned and slow systems based on the Viscosta, the electronic Haldex coupling of the second generation was used, which allowed not only to improve the permeability, but also to ensure good handling (yes, not racing, it's too volvo!) At all-wheel drive cars .

1 / 3

2 / 3

3 / 3

In general, the car turned out to be very successful, relatively simple in design, but at the same time comfortable, with good calm handling and even quite reliable, which makes it one of the most interesting offers in the secondary market now. True, not in everything, but about it later.

Engines

The fans electric motors are still weak. Here I led Valeo, it clearly had problems with the quality at the beginning of two thousandths, because defective radiators on Saab and Opel and fans for them are also their products. It is recommended to change them to more reliable compatible - for example, from the same Bosch or Hella. Yes, even Chinese Scan-Tech is safer than the original. The weakness of the fuel pumps and the unsuccessful design of the fuel level sensor, but given the age of the machines, the pump is most likely replaced by the non-original, the resource of which can only be guessing - it can be both better and worse than the original, and the level sensor problems Not so critical. The main problem of most aggregates will be a small selection of non-original spare parts of good quality, and not at all of the technical features. And do not believe in the stories about the special high cost of turbocharger: look at the table at the end of the article, and you will notice that we take a turbine from the manufacturer - from Borgwarner or Mitsubishi - several times cheaper than buying it in a reseller box, except that it is more difficult to choose a model. Diesel engines here are mainly its own development, except for the two years of the D5252T motor, which is often considered the engine "with Audi", but in practice it turns out that this motor is very different from all the aggregates that can be found on the Audi machines of those years. The closest in the design of the AEL series, having a similar block of cylinders, the same cylinder head and piston group, and some attachments also coincide, but not all - for example, all the injection equipment here is its own. But after 2002, only the engines of the D5244T, D52444T2 and D5244T4 series were installed, with a capacity of 163, 130 and 185 hp. All these Motors are twentiethly owned (Volkswage Motor tenth-smeared) with the Common Rail injection system, and everyone belongs to the series of motors "D5", in general, very successful. But on early cars, fuel apparatus was famous for unreliable work and especially weak system nozzles. They are recommended to check at least once a year in a special service, otherwise the consequences in the form of molten pistons can lead to a replacement of the motor entirely. Another trouble on the motors after 2004 release is an unsuccessful algorithm for the scene filter, it is too often clogged. It is recommended that either update the engine firmware to the last possible, or delete the problem element. On S60 diesel engines occur very rarely, but they are well known in the services, because the diesel XC70 and XC90 were much larger.

Transmissions

Unfortunately, it was precisely the Hydrocklock Volvo turned out to be a problem: the early wear of linear solesoids as a consequence of the overheating of the box and wear linings of the GDT blocking is very often found. The latest revisions of this automatic transmission have a completely decent resource with a timely replacement of oil, the absence of overheating and regular repair "Bublik" GDT, but if the machine is released until 2004, it is not a fact that the hydraulicock is not among the distressed. In all-wheel drive machines since 2003, an improved version of this automatic transmission model AW 55-51 was established - in fact, this is the same box with the same problems. When buying, it is very carefully taken to the jerk when switching 2-3 transmissions: if the switching happens is rigid, then this is the first sign of future faults, and if on the machine in such a state we went, it is only one of the replacement of the hydroblock can not do. In the zone of increased danger of the machine with turbosways 2,4t and 2.5t. Since 2006, powerful versions of machines with a motor 2.5t and diesel engines have become equipped with a more advanced six-speed AISIN TF80SC automatic transmission, noticeably more reliable and strong.

Chassis

Body and Salon

Good everyone!

Not so long ago, I began to replace my faithful horse Volvo S40 1999. In no case because the sorcet began to raise - his state for his years was excellent, no surprises threw up. I just wanted something fresher, postpartus and with automatic transmission. Although I do not deny that such circumstances, such as the coming replacement of the timing belt, a small audit of the rear suspension and the release system, as well as the need to purchase a summer set of tires, forced events somewhat.

For the future, the car was about the following wishes: the D-class is not over 5 years old with mileage up to 100 TCM, automatic, motor from 150 hp The flour of choice as such was not, considered only three options - Passat B6, Accord and S60. Although Passat for obvious reasons can be said to really not considered. I always liked the B6 very much in design, and in all my consumer qualities, but its reliability and DSG in particular ... Accord was significantly more expensive than the "Shanki" at an equal age and run, also not in his favor played clearance and the wrong price of CASCO. And without insurance was not to do, because In the future, the wife also will ride the car, which at the moment practically does not have driving experience. In general, all the arguments were in favor of S60.

Strengths:

• Ergonomics, quality of performance and comfort salon
• Comfortable chairs
• Not bad handling
• HU-850 audio system sound
• Lack of interest in hijackers
• Feeling confidence and security driving - invaluable!

Weak sides:

• Harsh (maybe due to the dimension of the wheels)
• Large radius reversal
• Tight rear seats

I will start a review from why I chose exactly Volvo S60.

For six months before the acquisition of Volvo, I bought Toyota Camry in the last body, a new one in the cabin ... For 5 months of ownership, she was trying to smoke twice, once a day in broad daylight, but I left Magaz in time and went down the rogues, and for the second time someone was succeed)) started long swing with Casco, and I firmly decided to buy the most unsightmandable car))) The drafts on his pockets, broke a piggy bank and realized that while Casco was lying, and something should be ride something, I can buy a car maximum for 600 thousand ..

He opened the rubber rating for 2013 and at the very bottom of this rating they lay the Chinese Volvo and other Skodes with jaguars .... It was decided to find Volvo S60 in a decent condition and ride for a while until the nervous system calms down from loss of 1.2 million.

Strengths:

• Unsurance
• High-quality car
• Beautiful, IMHO

Weak sides:

• Places for rear passengers frankly enough

Review Volvo S60 2.4 (Volvo ES 60) 2004

For 3000 r, they climbed the entire car and wrote dealership to the thousand thirty or 50 - I do not remember. There was no best sentences, even dorestayling cost from 500, so I took. Repair naturally not at the dealer did, so twice cheaper than calculated. Prior to this car traded Ford Focus 2003 American 2 liter automatic transmission 131 hp hatchback 5 doors. (Och was pleased with them)

Departure to Volvo 4 years, caught up with an odometer until 193500, that is, there are 113,500 about it. All expenses pointed out in the journal. If in general, then Volvo inexpensive in service. Look in the journal. Tax on 170 hp - 8000. Consumption in the city from 13.5 to 16 liters. Highway 8.

Strengths:

• Brand

Office work - an ungrateful case, I will write a review about the car for fellow citizens, I thought \u003d) and rushed))

I never thought to buy this car for myself and was not going, for they were always frightening with insane prices on that and other negative qualities, who owned the car for 2 months was convinced of the opposite. I bought the car exclusively for resale, because I wanted to buy MERSEDES CLS 350. I sold my friend. I knew that he was a miracle racer and a lover to move the car, especially 256 hp (Chip Tuning BSR) and four-wheel drive ... how not to burn. When buying, I took a car for the day, moved to the official, counted repair at 260,000 rubles ... I'm shocked, I'm going to him, I get into the evil and standard traffic jam on the enthusiast highway \u003d)) while I'm going to traffic jam, I decided to read more They counted there ... and become not in a smaller shock. Light bulb 12V in stop signals, dimensions, etc. They have 250 rubles, and the replacement of 500 and higher, depending on the front / ass ... (about the front headlights, I agree to change them easier to replace the bumper and headlight, but if I need to change (2 xenon lamps, 3 dimensions and 1 turn signal), then the amount will turn out about 5000 only for the work! And about 20000r per bulbs) Yes, I almost forgot to say, the price is made at a discount of 50% of the work that kindly provided me with Obukhov)) I call acquaintances, please break the other Volvo service, not official, I find in Medvedkovo, come, I come to the same work in 60 minutes with spare parts .... Solved - I buy, because The car was given for 490,000 rubles.

I will not paint about safety and appearance, because already there is a lot of feedback on this topic, about the driving quality of all-wheel-drive Tourbovaya Volva, I can only say good, I went on it and in winter when the car did not belong to me, everything is great, behaves predictably, the only thing that was unusual for me after all-wheel drive BMW Here, when slipping the front wheels, the moment the moment is smoothly moving to the rear axle, you get used to it quite quickly. For comfort set 4. I do not know, whether I have such a tough suspension in this configuration, or I quit, but -1 score only for the stiffness of the suspension, but I will solve this problem in the spring.

Strengths:

• Appearance
• Dynamics
• Seat. Damn it, this is a certain dignity))
• Safety

Weak sides:

• Low face as a result of the problem with radiators
• Hard suspension for Russia is sadness
• An angle of reversal

Review Volvo S60 2.4 (Volvo ES 60) 2007 Part 2

After the frequent shift of the car to Volvo as a bike. I do not understand why we have in Ukraine on the roads of their few units. The brand delays, but maybe because in the secondary market prices fall strongly. There is a direct reason to operate a brand for at least 5 years, especially since it does not deliver any trouble.

The car is used either by his wife in the city, or me in long business trips. After 1000 km we get up because of the steering wheel as before.

From the noted manner.

Strengths:

• Excellent running quality and comfort

Review Volvo S60 R (Volvo ES 60) 2004

I bought almost a million from Europe from Europe, I think it was an excellent price for such a car at that time. I sold this car before buying my Audyushki in full health and very quickly.

I bought in winter, neatly departed, any-expensive in the courtyards and on the way to the cottage settlement, to travel around the snowdrifts of stuck monophers, rows very high-quality all four, after the rear-wheel drive bays, it was just a winter tale.

Well, with regard to appearance - stylish, Swedish strict forms, a small buffet, as I explained, on all the rocks goes straight from the factory. Minus in it - significantly lowers the ground clearance, centimeter 2 exactly how much drove was always afraid to park the front bumper, on some borders came in principle, after the operation of the living place on the bottom of the bumper was almost no left. In principle, the body kit in the amount with a small spoiler on the trunk lid and 18 native beak discs R and sports calipers with the same R externally distinguished it from the remaining S60 in the crowd. R-design is undoubtedly beautiful and adds a good stake of sportiness plus and without the aggressive outfit. Some familiar said that the brutal view of Volvo on an amateur, but there is no taste and color of the comrades, the RCA in the crowd of other cars looked very burda and the bulk of the mass looked down.

Strengths:

• Slim and graceful
• Burning 5 cylinder turbo engine, every day the thrill
• A decent regular audio system
• Comfort at the level of the Lux
• Spacious trunk, inside the cabin a lot of space for different little things
• Very high quality salon
• Who understands - great opportunities and expanse for tuning

Weak sides:

• Maintenance expensive in comparison with sedans of this class
• Few replacements original spare parts
• "He eats as it should" and does not even lick
• Landing low
• The suspension is not the most reliable, the machine for smooth roads

Review Volvo S60 2.5 T (Volvo ES 60) 2007

I'll start with the fact that all my friends go to Volvo, starting with Lehi * Cosmos *, he has S80, 2008, I drove with him on the passenger seat and realized that it was a car for people), in the cabin perfect Silence, without any additional. Soundproofing, music was also very pleased, again, the regular 8-9 columns, the quality at the level, the chassis smooth on the pits, did not beat off as on my Mazda at that time. Well, in general, I liked the machine.

Then my friend, Maxim * Maximych *, S60, 170L.s. acquired to my wedding for the month And at the wedding in the village of Ardabyevo, Ryazan region, made the local residents to dance to music, since he just used her to use it as a DJ remote - opening the doors to the full one, they drank everything, they began to catch it, then in a shit, Max sat down and drove Behind us, as we were told on the morning, he flew off the bottom on the stone and drove further, all the oil flowed down and pushed the engine, as a result he became in the middle of the road, damn, sorry Brother, got on the grandmother later, towed to Moscow and revenge on Warsaw Dmitry has all the famous. In short, everything is ok, the price of the question 100-130 thousand p. And he since 2010, pah-pah, it chases further on her, right now he has a mileage of 160 thousand, 60 thousand after drove and all Hood.

Now, as for my iron horse. I bought in the fall of 2011, 210 horses, very happy on the road. Firstly, calm when overtaking, everyone will understand me; The second is a safe machine, 8 airbags)) glass is twice as thicker than other machines, check)), in the cabin is very quiet, nor a single sketch and the like, I don't annorate me, as before that in Mazda, for example. I want to immediately destroy myths - it is expensive to maintain it - this is not true ... Well, if you don't think about the officials to go, even the official 1.2to costs 18 thousand, in comparison, for example, with Ford Focus 2011 1 then costs 8 thousand, and the difference classes, I have changed all the front chassis with the same Dmitry, 15 thousand managed with work, adequate, myth is destroyed! In short, business class machine for the price of the middle cl.!

VOLVO S60 2.4 review (Volvo ES 60) 2005

Hello, Owners Volvo or who want to become a volvist.

Pure my opinion. Please, without any stupid answers.

Love for the Swedes woke up in 2005. I started with 850 models on an automatic machine at 170 hp, two years travel, only good emotions left. Then the V70 Cross Country 99, transitional model. Damn, suffered. 193 hp Turbo, mileage was 220 thousand thousand km. During the year, I screwed 20 thousand km and I spent the money: Kardan, clutch, two-time flywheel, turbine, but I knew that I took a tired car led to the order ride and sold spending 100 thousand for the entire crap.

Strengths:

• Beautiful
• Fast

I bought a car after Hyundai NF, with which, in fact, and I can compare my volley.

The driver's seat, as many were said, ergonomically, convenient, etc., and the like. Just everything is in place, accessible and understandable. The only minus is often pressed the switching button of the control cruise, which is located on the steering wheel in its upper part. Excellent mirrors with spherical extreme parts. Noise insulation of the cabin is weaker than in my past Hundai, but it does not cause discomfort.

The automatic transmission operates with noticeable jerks, again worse than Hyundai Nef, and much worse than Hyundai Grander, which I considered before buying a volley. I expected from the box more smooth and inconspicuous work.

Review Volvo S60 2.4 (Volvo ES 60) 2006

I do not know how to write a lot. But still I want to say about this car.

I had a lot of different cars. I started like many, on the domestic car industry, I tried everything: both the classics and the Niva, and the front drive. Rode on Japanese, German. But Volvo !!! Guys, of course it is my purely subjective opinion, but such a combination of price, quality and security you will no longer find anywhere!

Take the quality of the interior decoration. I have black leather, wood trim, wooden steering wheel. At first I thought that everything would be in dust, the hands would slide on the tree. But! Nothing like this. It is enough to wipe dust once a week and everything is clean. Torpedo is also covered with leather and leather, apparently, not cheap, because the dust is not clogged in it, but calmly wipes. To the steering wheel, in my opinion, I got used to the third day !!! Very high quality, comfortable, cool lies in the hands. On the cabin, too, no questions. Excellent side support, high-quality skin, many adjustments. Yes, there is little locations behind, but the S60 is a driver for the driver! Who wants to ride the rear - take the S80.

Strengths:

• Safety

So I went to 160000 Pajero, leaving about myself pleasant memories of reliability and unpleasant for service mainly due to the cost of this (see the feedback here).

The month of the wilders around Mazda 6, Honda Chord, Citroen C5 and the same thing was unnoticed by them. Then the energy of the roughasla and even thought: "There is still a car in the family, wait until the loans be easier and there we will look like a obtained ..."

And here the buddy calls and in conversation, the mention of Volvo was observed. The problem is that in Ukraine Volvo is not so popular and, accordingly, find something worthy of used is extremely difficult. However, as it turned out, miracles still happen - and I am now Volvoveod. The car went in excellent condition, with a slight mileage and with a bunch of inappropriate views and replicas of friends :)

Review Volvo S60 2.4 (Volvo ES 60) 2004 Part 2

Good day to everyone!

I recently had an unpleasant case, threatening or by the speedy deliverance from this machine, or by repairing about 75000 RE. I drove into the service to change the headlight brush motor (4500 RE with work) and asked the main master to listen to a strange knock, which appears when let's release the clutch pedal. In general, this sound appeared when swinging before-back, even if you swing the car with a muffled engine. When I bought this car, this sound was barely captured, then I drove into the service, they said: "Well, the box of the mechanic, it should somehow connect to work." But the last time the sound has become more. In short, the wizard leaving the service box is casting his head out of the window and says: "Sell this car." It is a pity that there are no signs transmitting the condition of full ohnets. Says, the flywheel dies, and it is better to change all the grip immediately. And this is about 80,000.

I come home killed. Day or two I think and come to the conclusion: I will not sell the car with such a defect. It is better to suffer pocket (recovered) than conscience (non-standard). Since this breakdown never happens earlier than 200,000 km, I began to look for a used. And at the same time new too. Found. New for 28800 RE, and used for 15,000. There is also a replacement of 9000. I think, well, crap with him, stacked for 25,000 re. And drove the clutch to see.

Strengths:

• For this money, so much pluses do not buy. Even in the new version

Weak sides:

• Rear to growing (more than 1.85) passengers are inconvenient

Review Volvo S60 2.4 (Volvo ES 60) 2007

Hello, dear!

I want to tell about my car Volvo S60 (170 hp). I do not know what I am a hot july 2007 make this choice? !! I have never been a volvayode and definitely not a volvirch. After the sale of Opel Zafir 1.8 I set forth the goal of acquiring a wagon. Watched Ford Focus (it was long to wait at that time), etc., etc.

Randomly turned out to be behind the wheel of Volvo S40 (Comrade I gave charging), on the same day I drove into the salon and committed a test drive. The manager turned out to be the manager, and not Menager, very sensible, unobtrusive, friendly. I tried it with him (since the time allowed) the whole lineup. At that time, the choice fell on Volvo S60 (it was not enough money for the V70) in the "full mince" - 170 horses, automatic transmission, 17 discs. All this economy cost $ 3,8500 with a discount (discount at that time was $ 5,000) + as a gift rubber mats, a luggage rug, protection.

The design of the Swedish cars of the first decade of 2000, perhaps one of the most successful in history not only the brand itself, but also in the whole car industry. Agree, even the 15-year-old S60 still looks very modern and at the same time originally. For greater coverage of the audience, no less successful cars were represented on the same platform - the V70 wagon and its "minced" modification of XC70. Years, it is safe to say that the Swedes turned out with a worthy competitor to a large German triple: in addition to the dynamic appearance and the newcomer's luxurious salon class was designed to change the reputation of the brand and stereotypical judgment about "Volvo Drivers". And it really managed to create the creators: the young generation would finally pay attention to the Swedish cars. A sedan, built on a shortened S80 platform, in addition to interesting design, turned out to be dynamic and in terms of driving. Of course, safety and comfort remained in the first place, but now it became relevant to talk about the pleasure of driving, especially if we are talking about equipment with powerful power plants.

"Volvo" is traditionally safe, although in 2001, only 4 stars out of 5 received Euro NCAP test.

Engines

Here S60 is unique: I can not remember that any car is equipped with exclusively with 5-cylinder motors. And the choice, I must say, the buyer was granted a considerable one. 2.4-liter atmospheric (140 and 170 liters) were basic aggregates (140 and 170 l.), TURBOMOTORES 2 L (180 liters s.), 2.4 L (200 and 250 liters) and 2 are higher in rank. , 5 liters (210 l. P.) There was a charged all-wheel drive version of S60R, also equipped with a turbo engine with 5 cylinders, but he has already developed a more impressive 300 liter. from. and 400 nm. The model range was 2.4 liters (130, 163 and 185 liters.), But such instances of the S60 were officially not supplied to us. Theoretically, all aggregates can be considered rather reliable, which is valid only under the condition of competent maintenance. Last, as a rule, it is difficult to hope, so it is safer when choosing a complete set to stop your choice on those aggregates that the lack of attention to themselves is best. This is primarily concerned with simpler atmospheric engines: their average resource ranges from 450-500 thousand km without overhaul, although the resource of turbocharged motors is also not bad and is 300-350 thousand km. The main "shoals" flooded in the cars of early copies, especially the first two years of release.

The resource of the turbo vote is 1.5 times less than atmospheric aggregates. To force their service life, it is advisable to carry out procedures before: for example, change the timing belt at 90-100 thousand kM instead of 120, and oils - at 10 thousand km instead of 20. After restyling 2004 and 2007 many technical techniques were eliminated. Problems. The ACP was touched upon twice: from all the nodes, this unit was the most problematic

For example, electrical fans of the radiator fell into the risk zone, the failure of which was often led to overheating. Caprice is considered and the MaGnetti Marelli throttle knot (once every 30 thousand km was regulated by his flushing), since 2002, it was replaced by a more reliable element from Bosch. The weak point is the engine supports, especially the upper, which were wearing literally for 1-2 years, but also this malfunction to the manufacturer soon eliminated, extending the resource of the support. In general, most childhood diseases were eliminated by 2004, which would not be superfluous when choosing a car.

TRANSMISSION

The most reliable were mechanical gearboxes, although S60 with such transmissions in the market is extremely small. It is also worth watching more than fresh copies: after restyling, 2004, the service life of a two-mask flywheel was increased, the resource of which was about 100 thousand km. But the Japanese AISN machines can present a lot of surprises, especially with the rigid operation of the car and ignoring the regular and complete oil replacement in the unit: the ACP does not like sharp accelerations and prone to overheating. Partly the problem was solved by the modernization of 2004, which increased the resource of the aggregates to 110-120 thousand km, and the problem was finally eliminated only in 2008, when the maximum mileage was doubled.

When buying S60, it is worth carefully inspecting the bottom of the car: due to the low clearance, the plastic protection of fuel and brake hoses suffers.

CHASSIS

Partially inherited from the S80 suspension was under the easiest sedan and perfectly proven: S60 is distinguished by an outstanding course stability, stable behavior on any road and lack of a strong wave swing. But many owners complained about excessive stiffness when passing sharp joints and pits, which partly compensated when installing high-profile tires 15 or 16 diameter instead of 17. There were some more serious disadvantages that again relate to dorestayling versions. For example, the resource of the shock absorbers (60-70 thousand km), the ball supports (70-80 thousand km) and stabilizer racks (40-60 thousand km) during the modernization was increased by about twice.

After the modernization of 2004, new headlights appeared, the rear lights and the bumpers in the body color. Unfortunately disappeared, because of the injuries of "wipers" on the headlights.

Body and Salon

Body "Sixtiest" deserve only flattering reviews: you need to try to find frankly rusty copies. If they came across such, then almost certainly before you are a fairly broken "Volvo". No less carefully when buying it is worth looking at the car from below, lifting it up on the lift: due to low clearance, the car owners often damaged some elements, including both pallets of the engine and ACP and plastic protection of fuel pipelines and brake hoses. A pleasant feature that is deprived of both modernized S60 and car competitors are janitor and headlight washers - extremely useful fixture in Russia. But this node must be preserved: after the brushes to the headlights are sampled, the electric motor of the drive can be burned either to cut a teeth in the cleaner gearbox. As for the interior, even after 200-250 thousand km. Salon retains its commodity look: high-quality leather finish turned out to be rather wear-resistant. What you can not say about the plastic of the central console, which is very quickly scratched. Also a positive impression of a pleasant and comfortable interior can be overshadowed by infrequent violets of plastic panels - most cars suffer from this.

Galvanized body is well opposed to corrosion even in paint injuries.

With the exception of plastic central console, the upholstery of the interior is well opposed to great runs

• Balanced chassis, unsolding design, rich equipment, relatively reliable DVS
• Capricious automatic machine, not the most spacious in class rear seats, low ground clearance

On the basis of S60, two related universal was also produced - V70 ...

... and the heightened crossing of Cross Country XC70

Verdict

Concerning the purchase of a Swedish car is clearly exaggerated: in its reliability S60 is definitely not inferior to the nearest competitors - BMW 3 series, Mercedes-Benz C-class and Audi A4. The main weapon of "Swedes" against the "Germans" is lower cost, no less interesting appearance and a high level of comfort. Well, if the scope of repair arrows, then it does not matter here: there are enough spare parts for adequate prices in the market. But without a spoon, it was not worthwhile: the ACP, especially the first years of release, longevity and reliability did not differ.

B Årshest all the hassle in S60 turned out to be transmissia, more precisely - gearboxes. The transmission itself is not bad here, has a large margin of safety, and Haldex clutch in the rear axis drive except that requires regular oil replacement every 30-60 thousand. With the rest, follow the covers of the Sls, cardan and oil level in gearboxes. There will be no big care.

In principle, up to 150 thousand kilometers often do not make any manipulations at all, and nothing breaks. But with the boxes the car was not very lucky. Modern premium machines are offered only with automatic transmission, and Volvo S 60 is no exception. The mechanics can be found except with the most low-power gasoline 1.6, and sometimes with diesel engines.

Most lucky multi-cylinder engines of the modular series, gasoline and diesel. With Motors B5204T8, B5204T9, B5254T12, B6304T4, D5204T3, D5244T15 - With deserved row "fives" and "six", the AISIN TF 80SC / TF 80D automatic AISIN TF 80SC / TF 80D has already been set, the only problem of which after 2010 is too hard thermal and related resource Locking lining GDT and Pollution of hydroblock. This allows you to consider it a very resource, but capricious to the operating conditions. By the way, the thermorement can be easily improved by installing a large outer radiator and the external filter (for example from), which was often done on the machines when the first signs of problems or even immediately after purchase.

Of course, a six-speed box is not cheaper in repair, if it came to it, but in most cases the case ends with cleaning and easy repair of the hydraulic unit, the replacement of the GDT and oil lining. Of the minuses, you can only be called relative "non-intellectuality" - the diagnosis of this box will show not all. Here it is more likely to know the design and an increase. And also - an understanding of the subtleties of the hydraulics.

Occasionally, in addition to overheating, the antifreeze leak in ATF threatens. Unfortunately, this trouble is still relevant. In the case of corrosion of the aluminum heat exchanger or the destruction of fittings, trouble is possible, so when buying, check the connection of the heat exchanger of the box for the leaks, is the correct sign of impending large expenses. Indeed, in this case, there will be a replacement of all friction and the grand cleaning of the hydroblocation, which is equivalent to the overhaul automatic transmission.

A typical resource with a regular cooling system to the first repairs is about 150 thousand kilometers. This typically requires a replacement of two linear pressure solenoids and an automatic transmission solenoid. Now they are on sale separately from the hydraulic slab, which reduces the price of the repair of such a malfunction several times. If the LDT linings are not worn to the limit, then you can expect even hundred or even more than thousands of run to serious interference with the replacement of seals due to the drop in the working pressure. And with a frequent replacement of oil and a more gentle thermal engine, a box can go even more, which is clearly visible on the example of European cars with runs of more than 400 thousand.

Also, the box is very sensitive to wear of sealing teflon rings and gaskets. Before diagnosing a hydraulic unit, it is necessary to check on the actual working pressure in the system: if with fully open linear solenoids the pressure is below the norm, then it is usually not necessary to replace the oil pump (it is relatively reliable), and the bulkhead of all packages with the replacement of seals.

AISIN TF 80SC is relatively well mastered in repair, serious problems with it are solved quite successfully, although it is not 100%. But you can forget about budget repairs, the average price for full repair is not lowered below 150 thousand rubles, this box is one of the favorite "dairy cows" of automatic transmission masters, along with ZF 5HP and 6HP, as well as AW TF 60.

Where is the worse the situation with the "robot" getrag 6DCT 450. This box was installed on all the variants of four-cylinder engines, even the most powerful 300-strong. On Volvo did not put the "younger" version with dry clutches, in the 6DCT 450 clutch in the oil bath, and the engine is simple and reliable flywheel.

Like all preselers, this box provides excellent efficiency and speed of switching. But there are several nuances. Like the Volkswagenovsky "robot" DQ 250 oil bath at the hydroblock, mechanics and block of clutches there is general, which noticeably increases the requirements for the purity of the oil and increases its dependence on the style of movement.

And alas, as it was with Volkswagenian DSG, the goetragi have a slightly unfinished design. An additional factor that greatly affects the work of this particular automatic transmission is too small gear ratio of the first transmission, which means that its small fitness to low-speed modes on motors with insufficient burden on small revolutions.

Owners S 60 are usually encountered with jerks when switching or with thrust disappearance when automatic transmission errors. The latter is usually associated with emergency overheating. What happens to this box? In the absolute majority of cases, high temperature and oil pollution of friction facilities are to blame.

The main supplier of dirt into the oil at the initial stage is a set of clips. It works with a slip when starting the machine and when moving at low speed. Also, a small slip is used for smooth shift gear, but it is insignificant if the machine does not drive 402 meters every day. Dirt from the oil should filter two filters: internal coarse cleaning, with magnets, and external fine cleaning. The second is a replaceable element and does not require disassembling the box to replace. The oil is not completely filtered, the abrasive particles are constantly present in it, but if it is changed in time, they are relatively few of them, and the wear of the remaining elements is slow.

Over time, and especially with an increase in the degree of oil pollution, other nodes of the box begin to wear out. First of all, two linear pressure solenoids. By the way, they are the same as on the Volkswagen box DQ 250. Sometimes the washing helps, but usually stock wear implies serious repair or replacement. Following the plugs of the transmission, they first wear brass slip inserts, and then the magnet of the fork itself can be caught. Of course, the products of wear of frictional, solenoids and forks fall into the oil pump, which is also wearing and supplies wear products. If a coarse filter is clogged, the box work is broken even more. In the launched cases of pressure lacking, the hydraulicock will cause, and large wear products fall into the system, which can damage the toothed pairs and differential.

The wear is noticeably accelerated by increasing the operating temperature of the automatic transmission. The regular cooling system works well only in the absence and in the absence of large loads. And the "native" thermostat, although it is designed for gentle 90 degrees, often defeat. The lowering of the operating temperature up to 60-70 degrees is usually not harmful, and in some cases it is even useful. But the temperature exceeding up to 105-120 degrees already leads to rapid wear of oil and leaks.

In addition to the wear of solenoids and the glands and all the plastic automatic transmission, the oil itself tritely starts to "burn" in frictions, there may be markedly higher than that of the oil in the crankcase. Yes, and peak values \u200b\u200bof oil temperatures in the crankcase go for 150 degrees, oil becomes more fluid. The appearing slippage of frictional in turn leads to even greater wear and even greater heating, finishing the box quickly and with a guarantee.

Natural or not very wear of frictional and gears strongly accelerates the destruction of the damper springs of the compensator of the rolling oscillations. In this case, the box can produce outsider noise on small revolutions, and its entire mechanics will work with enhanced wear. In short, you already realized that the oil should be changed more often, and do not forget about the filter.

In principle, the resource of the friction set is large enough. With a careful handling of the gas pedal, on the sample work with the manual transmission, and the lack of "races" during operation, they are "almost eternal" - there are cars with an original set and mileage for 300 thousand, and in a taxi running machines with diesel engines for half a million.

The key to success is not only the replacement of the oil, but also the health of the electronics and the speed sensors, they must sometimes be changed. So it happens in Europe, but we are all noticeably worse. In Russia, they sin with cold starts, when frictional frictions are sinking more and grapped unevenly. Another robot wear catalyst - traffic jams in which drivers behave like a "classic" automatic transmission. Well, finally finish the box can be driving along the tracks at a speed of 150 and higher.

At the middle driver when running 150-200 thousand kilometers, the main friction will already require a replacement. If the oil changed at least once 45 thousand kilometers, and the filter every 15 thousand (that is, on each then), and the box with the solenoids of the new sample, then most likely it will not have a noticeable wear. But if the oil was not changed, or the filter was changed with oil, only 60 and 120 thousand mileage, then wear will be very significant.

The description of the problems, unfortunately, does not give a complete picture of what is happening. The new design of the box was poorly compatible with our services. They act at Namaum, without understanding the processes occurring in the box and knowledge of the design features. From this number of problems only multiplies. Even the "branded" service often cannot solve the simplest problems associated with the initial staging of wear, damage to linear pressure solenoids, scrap sensors failures and progressive contamination of coarse cleaning filter.

The "large-scale" works are more similar to the client's banal robbery. Non-minor specialized services Against this background, also do not seek to reduce the average price of repair and its volume, although the likelihood of successful "treatment" is noticeably higher. The average repair of "total" for this box is also within 150 thousand rubles. But a large number of repair attempts without success forms a problematic image of an aggregate.

Motors

The last generations of VOLVO machines are connoisseurs of the brand often call the "Fords". And not at all for the platform, it is just not rushed into the eyes. But the replacement of the "classic" motors of the modular series and Si 6 to the Ford EcoBoost aggregates and the new VEA series (V Olvo Engine Architecture) of the experts offend. With all the advantages of new engines, the old have had a much larger margin of safety and their "special" character. Yes, and the story needs to appreciate. On the second generation of Volvo S 60 "Real" engines used mainly until 2015, when the most powerful variants of four-cylinder motors appeared. Moreover, under the hood, it was possible to meet as a favorite five-cylinder and row "six" in gasoline and diesel execution.

First of all, you will mention the feature of the cooling system of the engines. On all motors S 60 II intercooler frontal, and the main radiator and the air conditioner condenser are assembled into a dense "sandwich". Of the advantages of such a solution - the intercooler at the city movement is quite cold, even in traffic jams. But an attempt to make radiators is more compact and spread them with an intercooler makes the system very sensitive to pollution. The "sandwich" is badly clogged, and the intercooler itself is located low, why its cells are not only contaminated, but often they are also damaged by stones. The mesh in the bumper should be necessary. Well, it is necessary to wash the radiators regularly, otherwise they will be born tightly and will help only flushing with removal, which is usually very increasingly.

Radiator

price for the original

18 036 rubles

Specialized "Volvovskiy" services are usually asked from 10 to 15 thousand rubles for the operation, the rest can be persuaded by 5-10 thousand, because according to normal hours it is not such a costly event. Specialized compositions for cleaning aluminum and a good jet of compressed air in skillful hands and when the bumper is removed. The bulk of pollution is not visible, the dirt layer is stuck between the condenser and the main radiator, the distance between them is about 1 cm, and often this centimeter is clogged with mud tightly, and at the intercooler layer of dirt is decent. Just to melting outside it is possible, but it will almost not help. Pollution of the radiators package often becomes the starting point in damage to the automatic transmission and motor. Wash them no less than once a year.

Volvo Modular Engine Motors Series leads its pedigree since 1990, and on S 60 II to 2016 put the last options. These reliable and original camshaft drive engines have deserved the right to be called one of the best in the world. Yes, the latest options with a lightweight piston group and turbocharger can no longer boast of the unlimited feeder for the forcing and resource, but nevertheless, it is easily a 300+ in normal service.

Yes, there is a belt, and it needs to be changed. And besides, there are no hydrocompensators, and instead of the covers, the beds of the camshafts are there the top cover of the GBC, which will not allow the procedure for checking the gaps "in the field". Pretty capricious crankcase ventilation system and .. Yes, in fact, it is almost nothing to do. Of course, turbocharging requires the perfect work of many engine systems. Motor does not like overheating: it can easily be a guarantee, rings lie with a guarantee, and weak valves guide require regular checks of the seals.

The turbocharged row "six" series Si 6 is somewhat newer modulats, but all the warm words can be attributed to them. Unless the chain timing on the turbosways does not please the predictable resource. But the capacity is more than enough, the motor resource is excellent, and there are opportunities for tuning.

But the row "four" of Fords origin here is a dual impression. On the one hand, these are excellent motors, simple and cheap, with a very successful design. And on the other, they clearly do not withstand the extent of the forcing, which is laid in their last options. Hence the numerous problems with the recent cylinders, extending pistons, liners and the early advent of ring generation. It does not contribute to the longevity of motors and recommendations on the use of low-viscosity oils SAE 20 Fords specification.

Motors of 1.6 liters will seem vaguely familiar to all owners. On the Volvo there is a slightly "crushing" of their option, with a capacity of 150 to 180 hp Of course, with a superfluous, immediate injection and phase traffickers. In addition, the engine has a label oil pump of variable performance, very capricious to the degree of oil pollution.

Both versions of the motor are extremely sensitive to overheating and phael preparations of oil. It is necessary to monitor the purity of the radiators, changing the oil is noticeably more often prescribed during active operation and it is desirable to use at least SAE 30 oil, and in summer, at high temperature - and SAE 40. The slightest violation in the operation of fuel equipment, overheating, poor oil ... and now burn Pistons and crankshaft. In the worst versions, the block is sent to the emission.

And the reasons may be weight. Low pressure gasoline pump may notice this pressure, filters can be contaminated, the pump can also create pulsations or nimble pressure, radiators are regularly contaminated, and simply "annealing" after a plug can lead to a depository result. In general, the motors are not bad, but require caution during operation.

One-and-a-liter motor is completely different, it is with a chain drive of the camshafts, it has less hassle with the couplings of the phase studies and tightly the cylinder block, it is less prone to overheating. But in the rest of the problem, they are also connected with a very high degree of forcing. It is nominally belong to the new VEA series, but in fact it is almost a constant Fords engine, which can be found under the hood of half of European Fords.

Timing chain 2.0

price for the original

2,853 rubles

Motors of 2.0 liters are positioned as its own development of Volvo. But if you look at, then the architecture of VEA or E -Drive is very similar to the Motors Ford EcoBoost Mi 4, in any case, the cylinder block is almost the same as the same, and the GBC is unpacable reminded. And even inserts on the newest B4204T7 are great from Mazda, and the crankshaft can be taken from them. So it's still precisely the Ford Heritage, no matter how the company has not sucked "independence" and its developments.

In general, the Mazda L cylinder block is not bad with the power above 300 hp, so there is nothing strange in the appearance of factory options with such forcing. But one thing is the fan Mazda 6 MPS, and quite another - rather heavy and massive cars Volvo. Yes, on low-grade oil, with scored radiators and traffic jams.

As a result, the motors with the degree of forcing in 200-245 hp It turned out to be not reliable enough for everyday exploitation. If they were not pursuing their difficulties with the locking of the valves after hundreds of thousands of run and the unsuccessful control program with detonation on the 95th gasoline, they could well establish themselves. With a normal temperature mode, a frequent replacement of oil and regular "cleaning" valves of the supply of detergent on the inlet, they behave well. And with operation at 98th gasoline and high-quality oils with a viscosity above SAE 30, they can show a very decent piston group resource. In general, the design is quite successful, but very demanding to service after 100-150 thousand mileage and requiring a high operating culture.

Much more interesting Motor options with a capacity of 306 and 367 hp In this case, the supercharger was put on the help of the turbocharger, the boost system was complicated, and the unit was further reinforced. The result was completely outstanding: on the E85 fuel or a good 98th gasoline at the motor, even a good resource, and the most complex system works reliably.

But if in the tank of the 95th, one good pressure on the gas can be enough for a loogier of the piston. Newer firmware for this motor problem "one click" decided, but the design in any case is very extreme, and the age-related machine with such a motor will clearly won't be easy to maintain.

Surprisingly, the problems of the original Mazda L motors did not go anywhere. Here, the same features with the leaks of the cooling system, the leaks of the heat-exchanger, the weakness of seals, the unsuccessful design of the thermostat and the crankcase ventilation system. But so far all these troubles are in the infancy due to relatively small runs and the presence of much more serious trouble.

Diesel motors are presented mainly by the variants of the "classic" five-cylinder motor D5204, which has proven itself perfectly and some special problems other than classic "diesel" with fuel equipment.

Summing up

New technologies do not always go to favor. This is especially well noticeable on the example of Volvo S 60 II. In an option with a row "five" 2.5 or Diesel 2,4 and the classical AISI automatic transmission, this machine is rather unpretentious, it is only worth watching in both of the cooling system. And even the price of maintenance will be less than a German premium.

But it is necessary to break through the fuel economy - and now the chances of getting into the chain paws of fraudsters engaged in the "restoration" of automatic transmission and "masters" on the bulkhead of Fords engines grows to quite probable. In general, choose proven solutions, operate with the mind, and you will be happy.

Would you get VOLVO S60 II?

The Swedish middle class sedan debuted in 2000. Volvo S60 was developed by Peter Barry on the basis of the shortened platform S80 - P2. In 2001-2002, a version with a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine appeared on the list of proposals and automatically connected full drive with Haldex coupling. At the same time, Vulvo presented a sports R-version of the model, which was supposed to compete with BMW M3.

Volvo S 60. 2000-2005 had one solid strip on the bumper.

In 2005, the car has undergone restyling. The changes did not become revolutionary, but quite noticeable when a quick look. The interior, the front headlights and rear lights were updated, the bumpers were slightly corrected, and side mirrors appeared with built-in rotation signs. Volvo S60 of the first generation was collected until 2009 (in Belgium), while the successor did not come to shift.

After restyling, pointers of turns in the side mirrors appeared, and the decorative molding on the bumper was replaced by two small stripes.

Engines

Petrol:

R5 2.0 TURBO (180 hp)

R5 2.3 Turbo (250 hp)

R5 2.4 (140-170 hp)

R5 2.4 TURBO (200-260 hp)

R5 2.5 TURBO (210 hp)

R5 2.5 TURBO (300 hp) r-version

Diesel:

R5 2.4 D5 (126, 140, 163-185 hp)

The choice of engines is quite rich, so it is easy to choose a motor corresponding to personal needs. All gasoline engines have 5 cylinders and a 20-valve block of a block with two camshafts.

The minimum of problems create 2,4-liter atmospheric gasoline units, which can boast of good efficiency - about 10 l / 100 km. However, by choosing this engine, you should take care of regular valve clearance control (up to $ 150).

Not bad and 2-liter turbo engine. It makes it easy to make overtaking, and at the same time quite economical. The turbocharger creates a slight pressure pressure. His task is to improve the characteristics of the torque. The maximum 240 nm is achieved in the range of 1850-5000 rpm. The atmospheric motor is not capable of this.

If you want to get more speakers, you should look at the 2.4-liter turbocharged motors. But in this case will have to be reckoned with a higher fuel consumption and more expensive services.

For those who are ready not to skip on gasoline, the Swedes prepared a R-version. This is a practically a real "athlete."

Turbodiesel areas collected in 2002 are subject to problems with nozzles. Replacing the kit will require about 1,600 dollars.

The diesel engine is only one, but is represented by versions with varying degrees of force. A reasonable choice will be 140 and 163-strong versions. The most powerful diesel is definitely breaking more often. And, nevertheless, D5 is a terrible unit that will calmly be more than 200,000 km without any failures. Unfortunately, the problem is that most of the cars offered in the market already have a mileage of more than 300,000 km.

There were also undiscable cases of damage to the turbo diesel engine due to the robbing of the timing belt.

What malfunctions occur with such a run? Mainly fails the ECM - ECM, delivers the problems of the EGR system valve. In versions with a manual transmission, a replacement of a double-wave flywheel with a clutch is about 700 dollars. May refuse the turbocharger - you have to give at least 300 dollars.

Constructive features

Volvo S60 is predominantly a front-wheel drive car, but some versions were equipped with the AWD full drive system with Haldex coupling. The main gearboxes are two: 5-speed mechanics and automatic. However, the most powerful turbodiesel was equipped with 6-range MCPP and ACCP, and Volvo S60 R - 6-speed MCPP.

The front suspension is built on McPherson racks, and a multi-dimensional diagram is used from behind. Volvo S60 is quite confident turns and at the same time quite comfortable.

As befits Volvo cars, S60 has a high level of security, although it earned in the course of EURONCAP crash tests of only 4 stars.

Behind the place in sufficiency, but without excess.

Typical problems and malfunctions

In 2005 models, silencers rust faster. The original will cost $ 400, and the stainless steel system is 800 dollars.

The degree of reliability of the Swede depends largely on the engine version and the presence of an automatic transmission. The latter - AISIN AW presents surprises in the form of failures in software and malfunction of the planetary mechanism. By the way, the same problems arise in V70 and S80 models. The cost of repair in some cases reaches 1000 dollars.

High operating costs generates and suspension with a regulated degree of rigidity - Four-C (installed serial in the S60 R version). If one of the shock absorbers fail, then the new one will have to lay out from 700 to 1200 dollars. Fortunately, not all Volvo S60 is equipped with a similar gadget. However, the usual suspension is not particularly durable. Most often, silent blocks and hub bearings are faced.

What else to pay attention to when selecting used Volvo S60? First of all, on the tightness of the power steering, which often leaks. Sometimes a backlash and a knock in the rail appears.

Leakage from the steering mechanism is not uncommon.

Other typical problems - wear of the upper engine cushion (idling vibration) and malfunction of the ETM throttle electric drive control unit. Sometimes there is a leakage of oil through the crankshaft gland at the junction of the engine and the gearbox.

The interior received materials not the best quality. After 300,000 km, traces of wear acquire the steering wheel, central tunnel with armrest, door panels with handles and gear lever.

The interior is not very elegant (the quality of materials loses to German competitors). Salon's condition when running 370,000 km.

Approximate cost of spare parts

Under the lining at the bottom of the windshield is the wiring. Sometimes moisture penetrates inside, which leads to a short circuit and the failure of electrical equipment.

Conclusion

In general, Volvo S60 is a sufficiently durable car that is well tolerates big runs. But, unfortunately, sometimes it comes to serious malfunctions, which forces to significantly spend money on repairs. As a rule, substitutes, in comparison with the original spare parts, have a low resource.

Strengths of the Swedes: high level of comfort, elegant design, powerful engines, luxurious equipment, excellent noise insulation and excellent corrosion protection.

If you do not want to get to astronomical expenses after purchased, you should not choose the cheapest copies. The overwhelming majority of them are in a catastrophic state. Prices for used Volvo S60 lie within 230,000 to 700,000 rubles.
