Hello: Just rejoined the VOLVO family with the purchase of a 2009 S60 AWD. Have had 122S, 240, and 240 Turbo in the past.
Now looking for repair manual for S60...have not been very successful..any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thank You!!

Haynes was the only physical manual I could find. It assumes a certain level of experience that includes you being able to fill in some potentially ugly holes if you're doing something big for the first time.

E.G.

They tell you the general disassembly steps to remove a rear shock but they don't give you detailed steps for dealing with the tension from the rear control arm when reinstalling. It's up to you to sort that out.

Same could be said for replacing a ball joint or lower control arm on the front end, dropping the subframe, or replacing the driver side driveshaft.

There are details missing that can make things quite interesting but thankfully this site helps fill in the blanks. I normally read the manual, do some searching on this site, crawl under / over my car to compare notes, and then ask a few stupid questions before I loosen the first bolt.

 

Thanks Jerick 1976...I found that as well however it only goes to 2008 and not AWD...however I am very well acquainted with filling in "ugly holes" since it's certainly not my first time!! Either way it's worth the $20-30 to get the Haynes at least for some of the basic info..I am surprised not much else exists for the S60!

 

Most people go the VIDA/DICE route for (cloned) manuals. Cheaper and far more accurate.

I would highly recommend VIDA if you can find a copy that works. It has everything you'll need to know. DiCE is only needed if you want to communicate with the car to check codes.

 

Thank you one and all..nice to know that one gets replies and assistance in this forum..have not had the same experience with other vehicle forums.

 

I can not find a copy that works !!
