Debris and standing water in front fenders on Volvo? Let's check.

- Strange design on our Volvos lets all kind of debris to collect inside the front fenders. This can rot and even let water stand in there. Advice is to remove the front wheel arches and clean well at lease every two years.

Wow... just last week I noticed standing water in my fenders and was still wondering what to do about it. And there you come out of the woods with this video! THANK YOU!
Well this is rare: Two guys who dont know eachother both with the same rare surname that both own XC70s and posted comments in succession three years apart.
You are the best resource for a used XC70 owner.
Thank you!
I'm glad you bought a '09 XC70. I'm also glad you like to show others how to fix/mod stuff. Love how you use 'very strange" in place of 'not smart'. Great video's, I've subscribed!
Thank you for all your videos. It has been a real help and a go to.
By following your advise and removal of the plastic arch, I discovered foam(impossible to remove without breaking it)also on the top part too. So by using a small milwaukee leaf blower and metal wire I have managed to clean completely both cavities.
And added my solution for this problem reoccurring- a little mesh to stop the leaves from falling inside.
Thank you again for your content!
You are my hero , the best Volvo source on the internet . Thank you so much for everything up you do 🙏🙏🙏
Nice one. I usually clean this bit with my hoover once a year but looks like your idea is painless and should be even better. Thanks
Thanks for sharing this. Noticed the leaves and decaying matter at the top the other day and cleaned it out both sides. Poured warm water down which Def flushed out some crud, but now I have to investigate further after watching your video... many thanks again.
Thank you, for this great video, we happen to live near an area with the same leaf problem. I have to check my 09 S80 and my 12 XC 60.
I love your how you take care of your volvo!
Did this tonight on my 2014 xc70. Slightly different setup (more foam, and no issues with the cables). Could not remove the foam completely, but managed to clean it fully. Removed a lot of rotting leaves. Putting back the plastic turned out to be not so easy, but eventually it worked. And lifting the 18 inch wheels and placing the bolts without someone helping is not the best choice either :-) Anyways, water flows again (slowly, because of the bigger foam inserts), and I'm happy. The video is only 6 minutes, it took me 2,5 hours! :-D
Great tip! I have the same issue on my XC60.
Noticed it last summer when detailing the car. When i removed the inner wheel cover a big lump of leafs fell down and there was some left in there that needed to be cleaned out. I have a big tree in front of my parking place that is causing alot of this and aldo leafs under the hood.
Obviously not only a Volvo problem.I also noticed a similar construction on my SsangYong Tivoli.(and many other cars) Very helpful video.
Very good tips and good that you point out possible sources of error in the future. Other cars also have questionable solutions and constructions, and seem to be built as disposable products, and not to last and be repaired in a good and easy way. In Japan, for example, the idea seems to be to drive smoothly for 5 years and then scrap the car. I hope I am wrong, but...
I have never thought about this thanks! I will be sure to check it out!
Hey Yuri,
You’ve done it again, without taking care of it, a big problem.
I checked mine and you are right, no leaves or water but a lot of dirt. Cleaned it right away so this XC70 will stay in a good shape.
Thanks again!!
+Bart van Cappellen great to hear I could help. Working on another video which is also useful for all owners of XC70 and V70. Keep an eye.
Yuri
Nice job - thank you
Nice contents. Thanks
Hi Yuri another good video tip will be doing this soon. Atb. Jay.U.K.
Uncanny I didnt search this but I spent an hour cleaning both with just a hose, hose pipe to push the dirt out after dozens of tries and a long thin metal grabber, the metal hands of the grabber tore the rubber of the foam insulation, really atrociuos design what were they thinking.
Another great video thanks thumbs up and subbed
Thanks for that. Need to check mine. Cannot believe the poor design.
Nice video my friend! Thanks!
I will also check my car!
Love all you videos and plan to use them to care for my car and bypass the dealer. However, could you do a video showing the jacking points of the car, and where to place jack stands, where to place the jack, front, sides and back? Thanks.
Good stuff, thx
Woow Thanks for video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇸🇪
Love your videos, my 2009 XC70 D5 Oyster Grey Pearl has a leak from the washer bottle area, is it possible to get the arch liner out without removing the road wheel?
On my V60 the holes are covered with plastic. It is necessary to clean plastic cover under the windscreen, when you see leaves.
I used compressed air to blow off crud, crap and dirt from there. It had really accumulated a lot and leaves flew everywhere on the engine.
Hi Yuri, did you do a video on the application of rust proofing on your car ....? Could you advise your process and materials type used ?
Great channel , very useful ....!
My local Volvo dealer must be wondering why all these new parts are on order .......and all with part numbers already supplied to them by me ( thanks to your videos!)
Thank you so much for this video. Since I bought my 2016 XC90, I have constantly battled tree debris under the hood. My wife is very sensitive to mold and mildew, and becomes ill when she rides in the car - especially in the summer when the AC is running. Although I try to keep up with the detailing, I usually need to wait until the debris dries out so I can use my leaf blower to clear the hidden areas (in the area you mention plus the divider in front of the windshield, and the air intake). After the stuff is removed, I clean the area with an APC and disinfect it to remove the mold. Not perfect - but a lot better. Of course the dealer shrugs and says he has never heard of such a thing. Right.
My previous wife had this issue ......she went mouldy too but I just part ex’s her for a younger model .......
😎😎😎
Just kiddin really .....
You should also change the pollen filter for a good quality carbon one and use a air con cleanser/disinfectant which will clean the air ducts inside the dash. Will cost you about £30 for both things and will take about 20mins to fit the filter and another 10/20 mins for the Air con disinfectant cleaner spray to work, get one for air con not just any old spray.
@@Alexander_l322 I spray a disinfecting foam into the ducts about every 6 months and it does help.
@@Alexander_l322I buy a product here in the US: Lubegard 96030 Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner. I costs less than $20, and comes with a plastic tube that allows it to reach all the way into the evap box and ductwork. Because I have such a bad problem,, I use it about every 6 months - works great and thew car smells like new.
@@crabbyhayes1076 yep that’s the stuff I mean! Works really well and yep the car will smell great after but remember to change the pollen filter too
My 03 S60 also collects leafs at the bottom of the fender in front of the doors, no water issues tho. I have heard that the sunroof drain pipes can clog up and water gets into the cabin on p2 s60s but my sunroof always over shoots the closed position and opens again so I never use it
Where do you order all the parts?
I was wondering if anyone would know why and where a leak on the passenger side foot area for a 2009 XC70 with no sunroof. I don't think the windshield was ever replaced.
Good tip..... I dont think the P2 models are that bad but ill check :) thanks
There is suppose to be another foam insulator for the wires just so you know
My MY2012 got sound protecting Material at the top of the fender and that one is really wet. Is that a problem or is it normal ? It‘s difficult to take ist out ...
Is this where the hoses for the washers run? I had a facelift 2009 V70 that was leaking washer fluid. Garage replaced some of the hoses. Thinking of getting another v70 and this time try and catch it before happens.
Thank you I love your videos. I have a 2010 xc60
I'm curious what your thoughts would be in filling the gap from below with spray foam insulation such as "GREAT STUFF Big Gap Filler 12 oz Insulating Foam Sealant". It would probably have to be cut and perhaps painted to look good. Maybe covering the hole from above with blue painter's tape covered with something flat and heavy to leave a clean edge that would hopefully be painted black or something and look nice once cured.
Sound better to fabricate some type of plastic cover with a gasket. You really don't want to trap moisture in any way. If it's not under vacuum it will collect moisture from the air and become dew when it cools.
Anyone have solutions to wet right side floor after rain. 2010 xc70
Hello, in my V70 MY14 I have the diesel heater on the right side of the car and it’s making it impossible to clean the fender on my car...
Is it possible to access front o2 sensor through front wheel well? It is so difficult to access from top and bottom.
I just noticed that the passenger side doorhinge was beginning rust like crazy and i suspect this might be the cause of it.. thanks for the video
Do you think its difficult to get a new one installed? Its the one welded to the body...
i used a really powerful leaf blower to blast it out the fenders / wings
Hi I was hoping that you will do a video on replacing idle pulley,main belt idle tensions . I have a 2011 xc60 Volvo.
It has to be done every 10 years regardless of millage, so my T6 is due. Will do that this Summer for sure.
Thanks a bunch and look forward to a video on replacing idle pulley, main belt and tensioner.
oh really. I'm dead sure my Xc70 had felt material on top of the plastic arch or at least somewhere in there. I was very worrying.
Any way of sealing up those holes at the top to prevent that crap going down in to the arches in the first place?
no because they act as an overflow for rain water unfortunately
How about a grate that lets water through but not leafs?
Hello, The black, anti-corrosion coat is your made?
Yep
volvosweden nice work
👌👌👌👍👍👍
What year is your car ? I have just bought a 2011 Volvo S80 . Would that have the same problems ?
+moniqueking5 mine is 2009. Your S80 is the same.
volvosweden do you know how to change the language in the car ? Mine is set to French and my French is not good enough to know the finer points of what it is saying to me .
volvosweden
What about a 2015 s80 I love the car to bits it's cleand all over every week end under the bonnet and everything but it's parked in my garden under a tree
Hello i really like your videos! I have a Volvo v60 and i love it! But i really think you sould change you headlights to the one’s with the lens and the xenon. I think it makes the car look 10 Times’ better. Keep up the great job!
Frans Adwani cant do it! Software will not allow. I realy think you should change your lights to THOR 😂
Agree. But too much $
The rear wheels have no problem?
No....
volvosweden thank you do you know why?
+J A S P E R no idea
No hole bro
My v70 2012 has foam on the upper spot. were on your car we can see thru. Water leaves in front of fender if u pour it upp there.
Have you ever found any rust on you Volvo?
+Peter Dibbets on top of the windshield where stones hit the edge of the roof. Little rust spots from stones damage. I touch it up with a paint pen.
Please, can i buy your car? Perfect condition
Just seen this video and im just thinking plaese paint the calapes
Same problem with skoda and Volkswagen
Fenders are guitars. I think you mean bumpers!!!
If you have such a big problem with leafs just put some ducktape over the hole
Ludwig Sjö . Or a piece of foam like the one he took out.
Факинг свидиш конструктиш! 😅
Май инглиш вери бед, конечно... но суть понятна.
Привет из Москвы
Спасибо. С праздником наступающим, привет из Канады.
What a piece of crap design! When it rains I have water in the cabin.
I can't wait for my stainless steel Cybertruck to eliminate ICE cars from my life forever.
Never buy a Volvo.
I have never thought about this thanks! I will be sure to check it out!
