S60 Bi-Fuel 2003

Veefor · Dec 28th, 2015, 10:57

I was hoping somebody in this section has or have had one and would like to know what they thought of it.
I've searched forum and can't come up with anything other than the sales brochures etc.
Done the Google thing but I really wanted opinions from people on here as its not too biased(ok well maybe it is a bit, it's a Volvo forum so not many haters here)
Where they recognised as being a good LPG car as they were factory fitted and not aftermarket?
Any help will be great.
Thanks.

Used to have an S60 bi-fuel, and only got rid of it as I needed an estate when kids came along and couldn't find a good one in V70 form (and a cheap diesel came up).

I've they are looked after and the LPG system kept on top of they are generally reliable, the heavy ends in LPG sees off the stepper motors if the system isn't kept clean internally. It just needs some injector cleaner every 10,000 miles or so. The problem is the stepper motor is unique to Volvo, so you can literally add a zero to the price of similar ones used on ford and Vauxhall variants, assuming you can get them at all.

Other issues with the cars are common to the petrol equivalents.

It's worth asking in the LPG section as well further down the board.

Thanks.I posted on LPG part of forum too so will check for replies there.
I will have to find out a good place to get the system serviced down by me too also.
On a good note I think this area has some of the cheapest LPG in country,today for example it's 47p about less than 10 miles away.
Cheers.
