    Volvo Mechanich here, this is typicall when the aux belt breaks on these, The cylinder head gets all the beating, the hole where t he hydraulic tappers is placed in breaks. the piston and engine block it self "never" breakes. A new head and the engine is back up and running with no problems.
    One of the main reasion for the aux belt to go bad is the freewheel on the alternator. check that carefully before reasembly

      Hi there, recently bought a volvo xc60 2017 R des from copart, 73k on the mile, nice on the outside, couple of issues as I received it, it's a run and drive but with the following error codes on the dash: ESC service required, soot filter full, city safety service required ( idk what this is ) ESC temporarily off.
      Now I knew from the start this car would be needing some maitenance, but I got it for a good deal, so investing in it wont be so bad, it depends how much would it cost me if you'd know? I got my mechanic booked for Thursday but I'm on pins and needles by then!

  • @1066qw
    @1066qw Před rokem +5

    Full credit to the mechanic at Volvo- he diagnosed the situation perfectly and provided advice to the owners (albeit pretty unwelcome guidance) without needing to massively disassemble (and run up more costs). Liked the additional touch of removing starter relay too!
    Rubbish situation allround though.

  • @jamesallen712
    @jamesallen712 Před rokem +12

    Yep. D4/D5 engines do that. 54,000 for the aux belt and 108,000 for the cam belt. If you rebuild the car check the rear suspension bushes (rubber cushions on the rear pivot point) and the front screen isnt leaking as they are a known fault for coming unbonded. Its a pre 2014 model (twin round exhausts) so it's likely to be one that does.

  • @pbb81
    @pbb81 Před rokem +7

    It is important to use Volvo's own belts. They don't fray in the same way, they break straight off instead. The reason that the belts break is that you drive them for too long or that you have bad idlers or freewheels on the generator.

  • @Dalbayob69
    @Dalbayob69 Před rokem +15

    I service my XC70 every year regardless of mileage. Usually 3-4k a year. That belt is less than £20 and takes few min to replace so I replace it as well. Preventative maintenance. I also recommend doing gearbox oil flush and change. Volvo as every other manufacturer says it’s lifetime fluid but it’s not. Same with Haldex and rear diff fluid. Wont be a big project for you guys, but will be more costly than others. Looking forward to next videos on this car.

    • @davidstuart9695
      @davidstuart9695 Před rokem

      It is not the belt, but the tensioner seizing that is the problem. Closer to £100 for a OEM belt and tensioner. Then a couple of hours to fit if you are not a spanner monkey (most people aren’t). Costs rack up. Not saying it is not worth it, just that it isn’t £20. Biggest problem is that when cars get bought and sold and maintenance is done outside of the Volvo network (who uses Volvo at £150+/h once the car is well out of warranty), the catastrophic consequences of changing the belt/tensioner are not known.

    • @Dalbayob69
      @Dalbayob69 Před rokem

      @@davidstuart9695 yes, in most cases it’s either the tensioner or alternator clutch pulley that causes the wear on the belt. I have both of those changed on mine. But even then after about a year I notice sides of belt getting shredded slightly. So for my piece of mind I change it every year with the oil and filter service. The other part of the problem is people who either don’t know or don’t want to know anything. That’s why whenever I buy a car I change all fluids and belts regardless of how extensive the service history is.

    • @Dalbayob69
      @Dalbayob69 Před rokem

      @C H no, because you’re supposed to service it every 10k miles or 12 months. Some people only go by mileage and ignore the age. And since I do it myself full service with original parts cost me £150. That’s nothing for annual service.

  • @byronmills5952
    @byronmills5952 Před rokem +5

    A common issue on D5 Volvo's - its the Alternator clutch pulley seizing that normally causes it. Very strange to see it go at such a low milage though - my own owned from new D5 needed a new alternator pulley at 196k miles.

  • @paulketchupwitheverything767

    Amazed that a failing auxiliary belt caused that much damage. If it had been the cam belt it would be more understandable. Thanks for another interesting video. Good luck with getting another head at a viable price. It looks like there are recon ones out there.

    I stick to old rear wheel drive Volvo redblocks. 2.3 litre petrol. Had 3 over the last 20 years. 1986 740 GLE, B230K, carb, manual estate in 2003, £425. Owned 6years. 1989 240 GLT Auto estate. Daily driver for 8 years, owned 10 years. Paid £350, sold for £500 in 2018 with 233,000 miles. Ran perfect. Now have a 1996 940 auto estate with the B230FK, petrol, Low pressure turbo,auto estate. Again cost £250 6 years ago. On 208,000 miles. All bought cheaply and easy to look after. A good reliable workhorse. My 940 is a non interference design but change the cambelt for a genuine Volvo one and tensioner every 5 years or 50,000miles, whichever comes first.

  • @fivedotsdave9723
    @fivedotsdave9723 Před rokem +5

    This is a common fault on modern engines, usually the first part to fail is the aux belt tensioner (it starts to rattle) it then causes the belt to shred, then the shredded belt gets wrapped around the timing belt crank pulley which then causes the timing belt to slip and jump teeth, very few engines are non interference. So if you here that tensioner rattling get it fixed ASAP

    Seen this time and time again on the d5 engines. Aux belt goes into the cambelt, puts the timing out, piston hits valves, the force goes through the valve, into the hydraulic lifter and shatters it out of the cylinder head. As soon as the rocker cover/inlet is removed you will see the carnage! Replaced a few cylinder heads because of this issue in my time 👍

    I'm a big fan of these cars. I drive one, my wife drives one and I've bought, fixed & sold many over the last few years. I haven't started watching the video yet but if its belt related, the castings in the cylinder head will have sheared off. Autotech Cylinder Heads in Cornwall do exchange heads with UPS delivery, they aren't cheap but you'll definitely make your money back & then some. When I have one of these to sell, the phone rings off the hook and it's normally gone in a couple of days.

    I've got a V70 R design with exactly the same failure.
    For some reason, people don't think it's important to change the accessory belt as per the schedule, and just wait for them to snap.
    You can get a Gates belt for under £20 and it's a 5 minute job to replace.
    Once I get it rebuilt, I'll probably change the belt every 25k instead of the specified 50k

    I suspect that the pressed on cams is really the least of the issues with that one. There was what could rightly be termed carnage in that head, one can only wonder what else has happened. It will be interesting to see, if any parts went on a destructive journey through anywhere else. The pistons might well suffer a headache after partying with the valves, and the valves might well have suffered. It was not stationary when the fan belt let go, but as for speed, I would not like to estimate that based on so little information. More to come, but more to be revealed I feel, I hope I am wrong. An extensive to-do list is incoming. Have a great Easter break.

    Huge carbon build up, torn belt…it may of only done 54k, but unloved and not looked after. So, would you prefer an engine that’s done 150k but impeccable service or 50k no love or attention at all. And now the head it scrap. Just shows how important timely services are.

    It happened to me also, 2008 V70 D5 136kw, the aux belt was changed 10k ago. Allegedly it happened to previous owner also and the seller fixed everything. So this happened to my current car twice in a 10k km period. Fixed it up but i didn´t change hydrotappets and i left the old camshafts, from this day, my car smokes, has bad fuel economy, vibrates a little too much on idle. Just a sad experience overall since the cars has beige ventilated leather seats, distronic, sunroof etc, all the nice extras you could ever want on a family car. Been looking at other brands but.. i can´t sit in a Škoda after owning a Volvo. Rather a older volvo than a newer cheap-plastic Škoda.

    That's a hell of a design flaw when an auxillary belt snapping can cause all that damage, if mine snaps it would just fall on the floor and allow the battery to drain.

    • @marksutherland774
      @marksutherland774 Před rokem +1

      Yep, might even be deliberate because common sense would say but a shield or something in the way so the broken belt just ends up on the road something and not get tangled in moving parts of the engine. Most cars I've seen, no mechanic, the timing belt is pretty well protected from something as simple as this.

      @@marksutherland774 Like you I'm no mechanic but know what I'm looking at when it comes to cars and this design beggars belief, I've never heard of the like before. I think I'd be changing the belt every 12k miles/ 12 months as a huge precaution and visually checking it regularly.

      @@graemew7001 Yep, insane design, be interesting to see what the service interval is on the belt. As you say, you'd be changing it regularly , IF you knew, most drivers of these vehicles won't' ne the tinkering kind and will only know when this happens.

    As already mentioned - shocking amount of damage caused by that belt going. I like that it needs a new head and you guys are utterly not phased... walk in the park for you lads ;) Over to the Rob parts ferret now ;) This is where Rob earns his keep - finding a nice new head for it. Deffo worth saving, as you said - when the engine is back running, that will be a lovely car for someone. PS -that carbon build up !!!! My Q7 is at 58K miles - wonder what lies under the nice engine cover...

    Really good video... even if the outcome was not what we wanted to see. Shocking 'fail unsafe' design there by Volvo. One other thing to bear in mind when you're deciding on what to do is that this SUV isn't ULEZ compliant and that will affect its resale value.

      The aux belt has a change interval of 5 years or 54k miles. I’d bet money it either wasn’t done or someone has used budget parts.
