A couple suggestions. Before you take the steering wheel off, mark both the wheel and the column so you know exactly which splines line up. Also before you take off your wheel, lock it in the straight position so it does not have a chance of moving on you.
I just got my Volvo back from the shop for alignment after replacing the steering rack with the help of your video, now i have to change some sensors in the steering wheel aswell, and here you are. Thank you very much sir
Thank you for detail explaining all steps. I did the same but the after I replaced mine as “SRS-airbag service urgent” pops up”. Maybe you know how to fix it. The airbag physically I installed back. It’s there as used to be
For sure. I think the four spoke wheel requires a different removal though. I think it’s a couple of T30 torx that you need to unscrew. Be sure not to strip!
@@Bigtime_mcalpine many thanks ! my steering wheel si change today, not R for me, a wooden from xc ^^ ! but Steering Angle Sensor make a little noise now, but all is ok,anything don't move ....
I have a question, You have a volvo s60 before facelifting with the chrono gauges. How You do that? Old gauges and chrono gauges have different connectors.
You are correct in that if you have an 01/02, you must replace DIM/gauges with an 01/02, same for 03/04, and for 05+. DIM/gauges cannot be interchanged between these three time periods. The DIM I have on mine is from an executive S80 2004. They have the black anodized bezels. Connector is same. You can also exchange for an R style gauge with blue background but it also must be from 03/04. To get the LEAd lights in it working you have to do a small amount of soldering on the board. No big deal. Good instructions are provided on Swedespeed.
Hello, I watched your steering wheel disassembly video, thank you. It's a very nice video or I want to put a key on my Volvo S60 20 T 2003 model car. Does it fit our vehicles like yours? How can you help me?
the car i have is v70 t5 2001 year i want to change the 4 spoke wheel with the modern looking 3 spoke but will it be a problem if i buy a steering wheel from a car with a telephone function because there are 2 additional buttons to answer and hang the phone and my car doesnt have telephone? Does the connectors from the old volvo will be the same with the ones from the new?
I think the wheel will be fine but if the replacement is 2005+ you may need to switch the connectors from your old wheel OR you may be stuck getting replacement connectors from an 2001-2004.
I'm trying to upgrade my 4 spoke v70 steering wheel to a 3 spoke r steering wheel. where can I get the center piece necessary if I already have the replacement wheel? will I need to replace the airbag?
The airbag IS the center piece. Your best bets are eBay or your local wreckyard. Some places do not permit the resale of airbags. No such restrictions where I am.
You must unplug battery before unplugging wheel. This will ensure you don’t get error codes. If you change command buttons you must match them 01-02, 03-04?and 05+. If you don’t cruise, etc won’t work.

Eirik Rødsmoen hah, funny. Nice work. Did you break the clockspring? Been there done that.
@@Bigtime_mcalpine Haha yes i did, the guy at the shop thought it was funny, although he gave me props for trying myself :D
Thanks for doing this video. The part at the end regarding the 4 spoke with the 2 screws was just what I needed.
Very well explained. Thanks for creating this video.
superb video and clear instructions , thank you
You can buy the Volvo emblem for your steering wheel r air bag
Where??
Cool, today i am going to make the same thing) i have bought wheel from v70r to my s60 d5 :)

I don't remember the part number but volvo parts has the replacement volvo logos for that specific problem.
Best ever. Thanks for the help
Thanks for the good video. Very helpful
Very well created video! But do you think is it possible to switch the steering wheel of the newer volvos with at least the horm working as it should?
What size is the hole in the middle of the steering wheel?
I have a 02 S60 and I’m wanting to switch the steering wheel to a s80 that has the wood wrapped around. Is the steering wheel process similar on that?
Thanks
Thank you so much for your information, very helpful 😊 ...
Helpful video. Thanks
Very well explained!
Can you also switch an S60 wheel to a V70 wheel? personally i like the V70 wheel better
For sure. I think the four spoke wheel requires a different removal though. I think it’s a couple of T30 torx that you need to unscrew. Be sure not to strip!

If you are talking about getting a replacement key for ignition the ONLY way to get one made and programmed is to visit a Volvo dealership.
I wonder if I can swap these type of steering wheels on my 940

@@Bigtime_mcalpine Ok thanks, i will just change steering wheel, and airbag, command will replace with old wheel.
@@markod.6235 correct
What are the torque settings
Barry Britcher I believe 30nm + 30deg. I just hit it with my mid-range impact.
Im doing this to 2005 v70 so can i take the airbag from 2004 s60
Don’t think so - connectors are different. But, may work if you cut the connectors and replace them with 04 style green connectors. Let us know.
Is the connector still diffrend if the airbag has the newer emblem on it
