Video

Thanks so much for this video! Based upon your outline I turned down a MY18 XC90 T6 today. It had a leaking sunroof seal, evident oil leak at the crankshaft side, jerky gearbox with oil residues (of note, 2 flushes within 70K kilometers…) and faulty emission codes pointing to the supercharger seal problem. This prevented me from buying a way overpriced car that glittered, but was not all golden. Thanks again!

Great channel,Great tutorials. Bought my wife a dis-inflationary 10-XC90 3.2 .The 10th day of ownwershio it started the upset that would be identifiedas typical bad Alternator.

Hello, can you give me the reference for the pistons and rings for the Volvo v40 2.0?

Anyone here ever get an answer form this guy or is that reserved for his Patreon subscribers?

When manufacturers do what gooberment tells them without consideration to results you know they do not understand their own tech which is why none of the new stuff is worth buying; the west is in self destruct mode...

can i do the timing without taking the valve cover off ??

Hi VolvoGuy, I have a 2011 Volvo S80 with the B4204T6 2.0L turbo engine, and I’m facing a potential issue with detonation that might be affecting the fourth cylinder. From what I’ve researched, the engine is prone to piston damage due to detonation, and I’m wondering if it could be caused by miscalibration or an outdated ECU firmware. Could you provide any advice on how to check if my ECU firmware is up to date, and whether this could be linked to the detonation issue? Also, have you seen any similar issues with this engine, and what might be the best way to fix or prevent this? Thanks for your help!

Could you please provide me with the part number for the piston? I am unable to locate it in the clip.

Got my wife a vovo xc 60. Long story short it says 80000 on dash. After we bought the vehicle for we realized that my wife got one of those lnow of carfax so we got a reg carfax and the mileage is 18000,i didn't even realize that was possible. The car didn't start on fri and said low voltage so i had a shop put a battery in. I didn't think the engine sounded quite right and asked them about it and the woman told me u did not ask us to diagnose the engine. I was just asking for an option if i needed that but she just blew me off. I'm trying to get it into another shop but there all weeks out. If i sent you a video of it running could u just tell me if it sounds right,i know its hard on video but it would be something til i get it in. Any help would be much appreciated,im just trying to keep the wife happy

Do you have to remove the engine to do this, we have the engine in the car everything ready to go together but we cannot set time

If i order pistons for IT, IT will came modified pistons, or there îs chance to came same old problematics pistons? Thankyou

volvo never called V8 previously as T8.

Hey Volvo Guy ... I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction with my 2019 XC60 D4 2ltr Diesel. I've got fault code P20C968. Any info you can give will arm me for when it goes to the dealers. Thank you.

how the fuck do you remove the coolant pipe \

Mr Volvo Guy, do you make videos on 4 cylinder diesel engines 2016 to 2018? If so, please provide links to them. Thanks, enjoy ver much your insights.

YEP...we were a victim of #6 on our 2013 S60 T6. Due to tight spaces, and an exceptionally uncooperative hose connection, it was a nightmare to replace. But I only spent $255 (including buying a new floor jack) to do it myself versus $1,200 to have the local dealership do the work!

Thank you Volvo guy!!! Am doing the job now, so helpful.. Alternator.

Can you please tell us what is the price of the replacement pistons and from where?

Hello , I want ask where can download new map ? Thank you.

Hi, this video is very clear and detailed. I am about to buy a V60 made in 2017 with a 4 cylinder diesel engine 2.0 150 Hp VEA, do you think this engine burns oil? Thank you.

Would you recommend a 2007 s80 2.5t petrol front wheel drive with 289 000km?

Thank you. I had a completely flat battery and was panicked because the tow truck driver was on his way and I couldn't get the car out the garage. Your video was direct and to the point, and excellent information. BTW, I assume the tow truck driver also knows this trick, but I appreciate knowing it too. Thumbs up!

New sub here from Quebec !

Why is the dealer dragging there feet it is known problem on the oil consumption on the 15 s60 I’m going through a quart ok oil less than 500 miles

Hi @TheVolvoGuy, sorry to repost. My 2015 V60 T6 is burning oil so I purchased new pistons. Trouble is, they supplied the same ones as those I removed. The oil control ring is bigger then the one you show but smaller then the new replacement you show. I'd be very interested to know the Volvo part number for the piston and rings you purchased to replace the original piston. Thank you.

Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a Volvo D3 2.0 136 hp with 60k miles from 2015, it has the engine code (D5204T7) I would like to know if it has any of the problems you mentioned about the drive belt or other worrisome things. Thanks

Can a 3.2 engine assembly be removed from the top? 2011 xc60 front wheel drive. Thanks.

Hi VolvoGuy, thank you for this awesome video! This is the first proper summary I've seen so far. Unfortunately my XC90 T6 2016 blows out blueish, greyish smoke randomly. I swapped the engine last year: shitty piston rings and faulty oil level sensor lead to fatal engine failure. The used engine that was installed has a maximum mileage of 50.000. First guess was turbo seals, axle, etc...but turbo seems to be fine...no oil in the hoses...no noise...no power leakage etc. Second guess: piston rings - again. But borings look fine (engine was endoscoped)...Compression test perfect....spark plugs clean. Now my third guess is the PCV: Although I heard that some vacuum is normal / good (glove test) I experience that my oil cap is literally sucked in like hell, when I try to open it with the engine running. If I disconnect the main PCV hose, the oil cap starts "dancing" on top of the PCV and I get a low to medium vacuum. The air filter is more or less clean. Do you think my PCV is failing or starting to fail? Or do you have any other solution? Best regards and thank you very much in advance!

XC70 T6 has an oil leak on the cams. Oil residue found on the belt. Timing cover, water pump with labor $ 2,270.00 bucks. Crazy.. getting second opinion.

Can anyone recommend an oil to prolong the oil . Meaning having to add lees. Love my s60 just don’t want to put 8000$ in it.

Are you talking about B4204T11 and B4204T9 2014-2017 ? Diesel or petrol?

would you know why i dont have any compression in my volvo xc60 3.2l v6 2011. i took the head off and replace the head gasket. i follwed all your instructions on how to do the timing, but now i have no compression. I have new starter, new spark splugs, new coil packs, new injectors.

is the v60 rings and pistons the same as in the s60 loved the vid

Hello how about late v60 2016-09 that is made whith this engine, 2,0 d5 d4204t11(171) ? Should it be safe whith the springs or maybe not ? The car is registrated 2017, but made 2016-09

Is it possible to mis-align the head so that the READ, long upper bolt and water pump pipe don't line up? My head only had one location dowel on the left hand side so the head could have rotated around this and moved out of square slightly I have an issue with the chain guide top (long bolt )is not centred in the inner cover hole not sure what to do...? Any suggestions??

Where can I find information on changing the gear when putting it on drive for a 2010 Volvo?

Can I just replace the original rings with original parts, but without replacing the pistons? Cost/Benefit analysis...

Thank you for the awesome clear explanation. Does this issue affect the 2011 C30 with the 5 cylinder turbo?

Thanks for the tutorial; worked for my 2029 Volvo V60 CC. A couple of things to note : - after turning the clips to release the cover with the hose, there are snap-in clips on each end that can/should be undone by inserting a flat head screwdriver and pushing them out - it’s much easier to put the new filter in if the cover is removed from the hose. It’s the same Torx bit to unscrew it.

the special tools i guess only available fr volvo?
