Tin Top - Volvo S60
Had a problem yesterday with my Tin Top a Volvo S60. Hit a pot hole and punched a whole in the sump (think there was a stone on the road) Managed to
patch it up to get home eventually. To compound the matter when I contacted the breakdown section of my insurance turned out that my breakdown cover
expired in March (had thought it was renewed when I renewed my insurance but sadly did not (worth checking if yours is similar)
Need to get a new/repair sump so tried to get a Haynes manaual but it seems they do not do one for a S60 (there is for a S40 and S80 but no S60). Has
anyone changed a sump on a S60? Is it straightforward/easy. What is the best sealent to use as there is no gasket?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Arnie.

need volvo sealant , no gasket .
its easy to strip the bolts aswell , altho it is pretty straight forward .
im assuming its a 5 cylinder ? it should be pretty universal .
if you get it welded itll always leak since the oil will contaminate the weld thats in the surface of teh sump .

Thanks for the reply. Yes it is the 5 cylinder. Do you know of any other options to welding. A new one costs in excess of £250 from the dealers or is
it a case of just bite the bullet.
Thanks once again.

take it off and clean it up really good , grind out the affect area and fix with some epoxy quick steel .
a second hand one should cost too much , is it a turbo ?

Yes it a S60 T SE 2002.
Thanks for the help will give it a go. I saw on another link and it mentioned O rings that should be replaced. Would you know if it would be necessary
on this as I hope it is a straight on/off?
Regards,
Arnie.
