Got it back from the body shop... couple ???
OK, so I just got my 02 S60 AWD back form the body shop after about 8 weeks. (see thread "car vs. deer round 1"in the photos forum)Close to $12K of damage repaired. I have a couple of questions though.
First: The turbo whine seems excessive now... especially under harder acceleration. Almost seems to be a secondary whining noise, like maybe a vacuum leak. I returned it for an overnight stay and they told me the hoses to the intercooler were loose, so they "fixed" it. The noise is obviously still there. Anyone know where I might start looking to identify the source? I can't really reproduce the noise unless its being driven (ie. won't do it in the garage).
Secondly: Prior to the accident, the car only had plastic inserts where the fog lights were. Now, there are actually fog lights in those spots... which is nice, but I don't have a switch to turn them on. My questions is, can I just replace the panel that should have the fog light switch with one that does have the switch, and be able to use the lights? Basically... is the wiring already in the dash for the lights, or will I need more than just the switch to make the fogs work? If i can just replace that panel, how difficult is it to remove? Does the dash cover need to be removed to get the panel off?
Thanks for any helpful responses,
Adam

Well, there is a filter in the air box, and the noise is still there...the soundalmost sounds like when you have a ground loop and get alternator whine through the speakers, but that's not what's happening. It is however RPM dependant, and I cannot hear it unles the vehicle is in gear. I'm really getting worried about this because I know turbo's can be very sensitive. I don't know if it's sucking unfiltered air or maybe being starved for oil that's causing the much more audible whine that what it used to have. Additionally, it seems worse (louder) when it is cold.
Also,it looks like they routed the vacuum line for the brake booster (at least that's what I think it is) incorrectly. They have it coming straight off the firewall into the manifold, but there looks to be way too much hose for that to be the correct routing. From what I could tell, it is supposed to go under the fuse box, then down between the airbox and the fender and around to the manifold. Can anyone confirm this?I wish I had another S60to compare with.

I just added Volvo fog lights to my car, and all I had to do was to add a Relay into the proper location on the driver siderelay box near the pedal, put a fuse in position 18 of the driver side fuse panel (near the dash), have the software added, and change the button and clear 'fiber optic' piece next to the rear fog light switch. The switch is in there, it is just inactive until you get the button, fiber optic piece, fuse, relay, etc. I think these are the part numbers:
Button w/ fiber optic piece (probably) # 8691533
Relay# 9441161
Fuse is a 15 amp ATO type
Software # is: 8619399 (Give or take $40.00 + labor)
The fog lights really are nice to have - it's worth it to have them..

ORIGINAL: tech
2. You will need the switch,Relay,fuse then have the Dealer download the software to make them work.
