Volvo S60 2.4 D4 AWD

Volvo S60 2.4 D4 AWD drivetrain

The drivetrain in a Volvo S60 2.4 D4 AWD is a sophisticated setup that requires premium components to cope with the high torque produced by the diesel engine alongside the all-wheel drive system. This specific model places high demands on every single link in the power transmission chain. At CVJoint24, you will find carefully selected parts specifically tailored to this exact configuration. Maintaining the drivetrain is vital not only for performance, but also for long-term economy and operational reliability. By fitting the right components, you minimise the risk of consequential damage to costlier parts such as the gearbox and differential. We understand the technical nuances of the Volvo S60 2.4 D4 AWD and supply only parts that satisfy our strict quality standards to ensure your car stays dependable on the road.

How the Volvo S60 2.4 D4 AWD drivetrain is engineered

The system on this model is designed to distribute torque efficiently between the front and rear axles depending on driving conditions and road surfaces. Drive leaves the gearbox and travels via an angle gear to a central propeller shaft, which in turn delivers power to the rear differential. At the front, drive shafts handle both steering and propulsion, making the outer CV joints particularly vulnerable to stress during tight turns. The rear drive shafts focus purely on transferring power to deliver the car's characteristic AWD stability. The entire setup relies on every joint, from the inner constant velocity joint at the gearbox to the outer CV joint at the wheel hub, operating with minimal friction. A healthy drivetrain on an all-wheel drive car requires every part to work in total harmony to prevent unnecessary wear on the advanced coupling system.

Common faults and symptoms

There are several distinct signs indicating that the drivetrain on your Volvo S60 2.4 D4 AWD requires attention to avoid breakdowns. One of the most typical symptoms is a clicking or knocking sound on full lock, which often points to an outer CV joint that is worn or running dry of grease. Vibrations that occur specifically under acceleration can usually be traced back to an inner CV joint or an out-of-balance driveshaft. On all-wheel-drive models, you should also look out for vibrations felt throughout the cabin at motorway speeds, as this often indicates wear in the prop shaft centre bearing or universal joints. If you spot oil leaks or grease splattered inside the wheel arches, a split CV boot is usually to blame, allowing road grit to penetrate the joint and rapidly ruin the precision bearing surfaces.
