2001 Volvo S60 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your S60 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S60 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my S60's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Volvo S60’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Volvo. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Volvo S60? Yes. Volvo S60 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Volvo S60 transmission repair? When your S60 transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I drive my Volvo S60 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your S60 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
