It's definitely shot. I think the hamster cage fan part has disintegrated. It moves zero air and sounds like a bench grinder and a wood lathe trying to reproduce, at any speed. Do I really have to take the entire dashboard out to replace the blower? Should I be preemptively doing an evaporator and heater core while it's apart? Any other common failures that's a nightmare to get to in there? Statistics: Posted by kcodyjr — Mon May 27, 2024 8:38 pm ..read more

Can you just replace the lines only ? The rack is evaluated as good as is pump. I can buy lines only. Can that be done with subframe and rack in car? How fiddly / possible / impossible is this to do? Thank you! Statistics: Posted by GreenMagicMan — Wed May 08, 2024 9:55 pm ..read more

Follow up 4/8/2024: I narrowed it down to the wiper linkage and replaced it. Due to the age of the vehicle OEM was not an option. I decided to order PROFESSIONAL PARTS SWEDEN from RockAuto. Surprisingly everything fit pretty well. The only thing I noticed was where the wiper motor bolts to the linkage their were no groves just flat metal, picture below for reference of what was missing. The OEM part had the groves on the end of the linkage where it bolted to the wiper motor. Statistics: Posted by VolvoFredNY — Mon Apr 08, 2024 2:02 pm ..read more

I’ve owned both and pretty certain the S60 seats are too wide. You could measure the distance between anchor bolts on the floor to be sure. Also verify the seat airbag connectors are compatible. Statistics: Posted by Krons — Mon Mar 11, 2024 6:21 pm ..read more

I was planning on removing the cowl and replacing the linkage. I've been reading things online that says the rubber bushings are probably shot, and the age of the car is 24 years old. I'm probably going to snap every plastic cowl clip so I'll add that to the list also. I will report back as to my findings. I really hope its not the wiper motor but it seems to be operating fine, just that horrible noise. Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

Hello, I'm left scratching my head on this one. All of a sudden my windshield wipers started making this horrible noise. I assumed it was the wiper blades and changed them, but it's still making the noise. I flipped the wiper blades up in the video to show it's not them. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
