Why does the check engine light come on when I start my V60?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your V60 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Volvo engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Volvo V60 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by 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 V60 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Volvo V60 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 could cause my V60 engine to suddenly stop?

Your V60 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
