  •  Can Volvo drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need Volvo XC60 differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my XC60? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your XC60’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can you reset your XC60’s malfunction warning light at home? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your XC60’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my XC60 serious? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your XC60, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.
  • Does my XC60 transmission belong to the drivetrain system? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your XC60’s drivetrain.
