Thanks for this I've just replace the nearside headlamp wiper motor on my 2003 Volvo S60. These instructions made it much easier.

Well captcaveman it is now eight years since you original post, and I have just found it invaluable to change my head light washer pump. Thanks very much.

I need to replace a cracked headlamp unit so this is going to be very useful. Thank you from me, even though I have only just arrived here and did this ages ago!

For a 2007 XC70 does anyone know if the front bumper removal is similar?

first remove the black trim on the bumper using a wide blade screw driver or similar tool be gentle!!!!.
Undo the bolts x2 holding the bumper cover (12mm socket)
inside the wheel arches you will see a torx screw ( sorry can't remember the size) undo this untill you have just a few threads left holding it on then push the whole screw in, (this pushes the catch holding the bumper cover) which releases the rear edge.
Now look above the grill you will see 5 I think push button catches.
Push the centres with a small screw driver and remove the catches.
The Bumper cover should now be ready for removal dont forget to undo the fog light wires I think thats about it. ( always be gentle)

If you need to remove the headlight you will now need to undo the black plastic assembly which holds the bumper rear catch, (if you have got this far you will see what I mean) quite hard to explain without a picture, 2 torx (can't remember the size sorry) and 2 bolts (10mm socket).
The head lights are held in by 4 bolts (10mm) I refer to the spanner / socket required and not the bolt diam to make things easier for you.
Again next time I do a job I will photograph it to make it easier for everybody.
As I said at the start this is the way I did the job it is not set in stone but use only as a guide.
As with any job in the motor industry do not attempt if you have any doubts of your own capability.
Having said that its a doddle to do and should take no more then 10 / 15 minutes.
Hope this guide has been of use to somebody.
Wheel hub to do this weekend I will post a guide after if it will be of any use to anybody.
All the best Cpt.....
I think they are T25. Just a word of warning do not over torque the two bolts as the threads are easy to strip. They don't need to be very tight anyway. There are also various push button catches on the bottom which locate in the plastic holdings behind the fog lights close to the wings.

It would be of even greater value if you detailed removing the under guard below the combined coolant radiator and airconditioning condenser.Or doesn't the S60 have them - mine is a MY o1 xc70.
