_HighVoltage_ Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 After years of happy 850 ownership, I believe it is time for me to step up a little and upgrade. I have been dreaming about an S60R ever since I drove one, but it is hard to find one within my budget and in a convenient location. Plus, I am not such a performance freak so a regular S60 will just as well. Here is what I have decided so far. I will be looking at 2002-2004 S60's (not 2001's - I don't want to deal with faulty, underdeveloped Italian electronics in the throttle! The 2002's use Bosch, correct?). Whether it will be 2.4T, 2.5T, or a T-5 isn't such a big deal to me. I would like to stay away from the AWD models, because of the notorious angle gear problems. (I actually wanted to ask - are they as prone to failure as they are in the S60R?) A T5M will be great, but I realize how hard these are to find. So realistically, I will be looking at cars with the geartronic system. Is there anything specific that I need to look for in these cars? Are there any big problems with them that I should be aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iloveboost Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 May not be an answer but just listed my brothers s60 t5m on swedespeed. No issues whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_HighVoltage_ Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Oh yes, I saw it yesterday, but I am afraid it is too far away for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
