Default Great maintenance info...

All,

I'm new to this site. Just bought an S60T with 96K from the original owner (someone I've known for a long time). I do all or most of my own maintenance, so I was discouraged to discover no Haynes manual was available for the car. However, after reviewing the posts on this site, I found all of the right information to do the trans fluid replacement (the 3 drain/fill method) using Mobil AFT 3309 ordered from a recommended source on this site. Also replaced the timing belt, tensioner and idler pulley ALSO by recommendation from this site. All of the tips from the moderators and others have been great. No new input to add for either job... the direction and tips for both are dead on. Thanks!!!

Good, I also Noticed I learn a lot more helpful hints/tips on these forums

If you would like a repair manual look for VADIS on Ebay or Torrent

Torrent? What's that?

This next question would probably be best answered in another post and I'm sure it's already answered in an existing thread... but... What is the MOST LIKELY suspect for the clunking noise I hear in the front end when I go over a bump, lip of my driveway, etc.? 2002 S60, original struts and other front end equipment. No other symptoms. Thanks!
