They're often easy to notice. 2003 Volvo S60 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

2003 Volvo S60 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Volvo S60? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S60’s towing capacity. 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 S60’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 Volvo S60 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Volvo S60 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

  • Should I avoid driving my Volvo S60 if there is 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.
