[Removing/Repairing Gas Filler Door Hinge: Tip from Bill Peyton]   The gas door hinge will break if pushed forward.  This is usually done by moving around the car with the door open, or by curious children.  The repair job can be done completely from the exterior. 
 
The black plastic hinge is held in place by four plastic rods.  When pushed through the body of the car, they expand four rubber sleeves located on the interior, thereby holding the whole thing in place. 
Remove as follows: 
Open the door, and using a small punch, push the four plastic rods through to the interior of the car.  The door will now come out.  Note the position of the spring and the hinge.  Remove the spring from the old hinge, and either cut or pry our the old hinge.  This is a black plastic piece. 
The ends of the new hinge are tapered to make it easier to insert into the gas door.  Clip the spring back into place. 
Now for the hard part.  You will see on the new hinge four plastic rods.  These are held onto the hinge by four small connections, all molded into a single piece.  On the other side of the hinge are four plastic “flowers” split into four pieces.  You will need to push the plastic rods through the “flowers”, once the “flowers” are pushed through to the interior of the car.   Since the rods are not free floating, they tend to break off and fly away unless you hit them squarely.  If this happens, put a little taper in the ends, place them back in the hold, and push them through.  A punch and a hammer will be essential.  Alternatively, you can break the rods off while the piece is off the car, insert them manually, and drive them in again with the punch.
 

battery boost if still clicks starter needs replcement

This is your link...just click on download...it's shareware. http://www.devicemanuals.com/guide/Automobile/Volvo/2003-Volvo-S60-Owner's-Manual-==TVRBM05UYzU=.html

if the key won"t turn at all ,take it out and put engine oil on it or get some graphic spray and spray into key tumbler ,

It is at the bottom on the front of the transmission. Look down the front of the transmission and you will see a small yellow plastic dipstick at the bottom

Volvo tells you to use there antifreeze from the dealer. But i have a V70 and i us the green 50/50 premixed coolant. It works fine and is cheaper

P0058 HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

P0064 HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 2 Sensor 3)

HO2S MONITOR
The HO2S sensors must be tested thoroughly because they are at the heart of the Fuel and Catalyst monitors.
The operation of the Emissions control in OBD depends on the sensors being at proper operating temperature. Both the catalysts and the HO2S sensors need to be at several hundred degrees C before they are working efficiently, so the latter have heaters built in to get them up to operating temperature as soon as possible. Because the HO2S sensors need to operate at near stoichometry they cannot be used when rich fuel/air mixtures are needed and so:
For 180 seconds from cold start the system is Open Loop - fuelling is arranged as a function of temperature, (ECT, IAT) and air input (MAF) etc, with no reference to stoichometric (lamda) levels. The engine is in open loop during WOT (Wide Open Throttle). When the engine is in negative torque (ie overrun, engine being driven by transmission) fuel may not be delivered via the INJectors at all. During such periods fuelling is in Open Loop. The HO2S sensors are numbered so that the upstream sensor 1 is always on the Bank which contains Cylinder # One. The down stream sensor is numbered 2. Hence the DOHC engine designs contain the HO2S sensors 11 (forward of the Catalyst) and 12 (downstream of the catalyst).
On the V6 24V the driver's side of the engine contains Cylinder 1, so the configuration is shown here:

Any fault code stored in the PCM, scanned to knowe what code is and we could send additional details.

Hope helps (remember to arte this).

Hello. here is the checklist for volvo

They metal in the brake linings have corroded and stuck to the brake drums/discs get a piece of wood and lump hammer give a good bang in the wheel nut area you may need someone in the driving seat giving a bit of gas be carefull as the come off with a jolt

TAKE CAR TO AUTO ZONE THEY WILL SCAN IT FREE AND GIVE YOU THE TROUBLE CODE.

when you turn ac up does it sound like its blowing hard just not out of the vents? if so the blower fan isnt working correctly in the ac box under the dash.

Long crank times like this are most often caused by a defective fuel pump pressure check valve, also called a bleed back valve, when this valve fails in the electric fuel pump it lets the fuel lines and the fuel filer drain back into the tank, when the car is restarted the air must be purged from the system, they only way this can occurr is by the opening and the closing of the fuel injectors, this causes long cranking times and multiple stalls before engine runs smooth, many people think the engine is engine is flooding but that is not the case, the amount of fuel present to maintain ignition is insufficient and builds up in the cylinder, so when the engine does start many times you see smoke come out like it is flooded, the fuel pump. Have a shop hook up a special fuel pressure test gauge and do a fuel pressure leak-down test to verify the problem.
