2001 Volvo S60 Engine Q&A

  • Why does my S60’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your S60 testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Volvo engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Volvo S60. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Volvo S60 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Volvo S60 radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause a S60 engine to suddenly stop? If your S60 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
