Volvo S60 Overheating Slow Warm Up

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my 2009 Volvo S60 diesel. Lately, the engine has been overheating, and it takes ages to warm up. My local garage thinks it might be the thermostat cooling circuit motor. Does this sound right?

Hey, I had a similar problem with my Volvo S60. Not sure which year mine is, but symptoms sound similar. Could be a sticky thermostat. Like a door that won't quite close properly, it might be stuck open, causing those issues.

Thanks for the quick response! When you say 'sticky thermostat,' what exactly do you mean? Is that something I could check myself, or is it best left to a professional?

Well, you could have a look, but honestly, thermostats can be tricky. If it's anything like mine was, the thermostat housing is a pain to get to. Save yourself the trouble and take it to a shop.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll take it to a workshop and get them to check the thermostat. Appreciate the help!
