- The "Grenaded" Volvo S60 Turbo is back in the shop, and it's BARELY RUNNING.
50k miles ago it "swallowed" it's own PCV valve which caused damage to Cylinder #1:
• Volvo Turbo GRENADES!!...
This time looks like a mean rodent wreaked some damage under the hood...
Let's see if we can get this beast back on the road and keep up the good fight :)

I have a good friend that has a 2007 Volvo S60 T5 and she loves that thing. I've put many hours into fixing all the little problems it had when she first bought it. And for something like a year and a half afterward, she had a rock solid, reliable car. But late last year, it had chipped both exhaust valves on the #4 cylinder. So, for just under $800 in parts and an entire weekend in her driveway, we wound up doing a complete top end rebuild. This car has nearly 230K miles on it and it's still running strong.
did you resurface the heads or not needed for valve issues?
@@scientist100 That wasn't needed for a valve job. If it overheated and burned a head gasket, then sure.
How did the chips happen? It sounds like you guys will have a big appreciation for all the work you put into the car.
@@zzoinks It's hard to say exactly what causes the valves to chip. My guess it's from a combination of a clogged PCV, small oil leak from the turbo and low octane gas causing excess carbon buildup. That in turn can create a compression leak and hot spots on the valve faces. When my friend got the car a little over 2 years ago, it barely ran. It looked like the last owner treated this car like dirt and nearly ran it into the ground. I used to work for a local Volvo dealer for over 12 years. So yeah. My friend has a lot of appreciation for my knowledge and skill with Volvo's. LOL.
@@Sandmansa the PCVs on these are 100% the biggest cause for problems apart from general neglect they need to be rerplaced asap when getting a used Volvo.
I grew up in Germany and we had Martens that loved radiator hoses and plug wires. My girl friend got pretty proficient in changing both. Every morning before you started the car you had to look under the hood to see if you had a visitor the night before.
The b5254t2 engine is a beast. I own a p2 chassis with this exact engine. The power it makes is mind boggling for the cars weight and it’s age. These are great cars.
The 4T2 engine is for sure pretty stout. Engine the 4T4 engine split in half from a hydrolock when cylinder #4 wall cracked I put in a 400$ 4T2 engine in it. Swapped the R KKK24 Turbo onto it, Custom ECM tuning done by self at 24 lbs of boost, Its a riot and very fun with the AWD! Currently have a 4T5 engine out of a 07 T5 that the shortblock is being built for some power. Can't wait to mount the VSR 6262 dual ball bearing turbo to it and really turn it up :)
@@BoostedMoose517 I have a 1999 v70glt with a b5244t that I want to manual swap terribly.
@@zackarymcclain164 Best thing you can do to your cars, I as well have my eye open for a S60R donor to manual swap as well.
Yes 👍🏼 . My family has two of these . Unbelievable how good this engine and transmission is .
Nice to see this car still running. This is the ultimate way not to discard and turn it to waste when there is miles left on it!
One of your shortest videos but no matter, the owner is super happy!
Are you kidding me??? With you taking care of this car, and using Amsoil oil, etc, it will make it to 400,000 miles easily!!! great work again. U really know what to do!
I brought my work van in for a jiffy lube oil change and the tech found a mouse living in the air box. He tried grabbing it with a shop rag but it got out and landed on the tech down in the oil pit . Funny as hell !!!
Nice! Reminds me of a DLP TV I fixed about ten years ago. Got a call the TV was dead, huge TV. Went to look at it and I saw mouse foot prints in the dust on the backside..... Opened it up and that fucker chewed through just about every wire and ribbon cable in it!! I called it machete mouse!! Anyway, ended up repairing all the chewed wires and got their TV back up and running.
i have 2 of these 5 cil 2,4s on LPG 1 has 365.000mls (580.000km) the other also on LPG 300.000mls (480.000km) best car ever. hauling a trailer trough the mountains with a constant misfire for 2500mls. even spitting out nr 3 sparkplug and drove home 10 miles with a cristmastree on the dash. just love my mad swedish vikings
My first Volvo XC70 was a 2006, I took it from 125K to just shy of 200K, doing all of my own repairs, including that crazy PCV system. I loved that car!
Honda makes a Teflon tape with mice printed on it,($44) this is tape that mice don't like to chew. You can buy Teflon tape on Amazon much cheaper, wrap those wires with this tape and it should discourage mice. I also spray the ebay and underside with peppermint essential oil mixed with water which mice don't like. I live in Tucson Az and have to deal with rodents a lot, these work. There is also copper wool MAT that you can cram around the gas tank ant save the wires on top of it. I have had about $20,000 damage before I started using these. Lights sort of work for awhile until they get used to them then it lights up their buffet. The modern wires are coated with insulation that is soy based and they love this.
Ivan, it's nice to see a car that was built to last a long time and is. Quality like that should be a goal, not just a passing thought. I would say today you had the opportunity to work on a fine machine. Thanks for Sharing!
It's amazing it ran at all with key components chewed out of the control loop, I remember the first time you got this car and the future looked pretty grim but it's held together and it certainly wasn't babied
i own 3 Volvos C70 Cupe P80 B5204T4 430 000KM, VOLVO C70 P1 B5254T3 170 000KM AND VOLVO XC90 B5254T2 340 000KM all of them are complete beasts and running strong with no complaints
Rodents liking to chew wires is an axiom in car repair. You can buy and apply some 'Rodent Tape' which has the hot element from Jalopenos in it. The rodents hate this and will stop chewing immediately.
Didn't know there's a product dedicated to this issue. Hope it isn't harsh to human contact?
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 Nope, unless you rub it hard to bring the capsaicin to the surface. Then you better wash your hands VERY well before you touch any sensitive areas....
@@Blazer02LS Thanks.
So this is why I love my S80 - yes it went crazy during lockdown as I run it on LPG as well as Petrol (gas in the USA). The engine was confused with Short Term and Long Term Fuel Trims calibrations. But eventually after longer drives again it settled down and the car now starts on the key turn.
I had a 1999 S70T5 with a manual trans. It lasted 395km, when I sold it to my son's friend and he warped the head towing a heavy boat trailer on boost for 5 hours straight. Heartbreaking, and he still can't look me in the eye. hahaha
The car was a tank, and also sneaky fast. I swear it had radar jamming technology: I blew through the odd speed trap in my day, and I can only assume the officer gave his "hair dryer" a smack, not expecting "unsafe" speeds from a Volvo.
The only mod I did was Bilstein shocks and upgraded sway bars from IPD to reduce the body roll. Excellent mod, highly recommended
WHAT!!!! No bonus footage?
This is awesome 👍. As a owner of a 2009 Volvo C30 myself I can attest to the quality and durability of the T5 engines.
They are much better built than the typical VW/Audi power trains, with a remap and a few tasteful mods the T5's can really be turned into beasts, especially when paired with a M66 manual transmission like in my C30. It has over 150k on it now, uses ZERO oil between 7500 mi oil changes.
One of the best cars I ever bought, I've had several brands over the years.
I had to make repairs to my Dad's Wagoneer this week due to a squirrel attack. I feel your pain.
Sir Ivan, " WATCH YOUR MOUTH ABOUT ROO'S " I've had 2 Roo's from the 90's I bought with 190,000 + miles on. Neither one " USED OIL " TIMING BELTS THOUGH WERE ANOTHER MATTER, Both were 5 speeds. I don't know about other years though ? 2000 & newer.
This guy seems VERY NICE & his car will DEFINITELY MAKE IT TO 2000,000 + MILES, UNLESS THE SQUIRRELS SAY OTHER WISE, NICE FIX. YES, I BLAME SQUIRRELS. 😁
Nice to not only see how you can fix these issues, it so nice to see how you don’t make the customer but everything new and run up a bill.
How long are you in business now? I’m sure you’ll always have plenty of cars to take care off. There’s a guy in NJ that basically just travels and diagnoses electrical problems and let’s the vehicle owner pick the shop after the fault is determined.
Strip the rest of that hood liner out. Mice use it for nesting material and that helps attract them. I took mine out of my XC70 for that very reason.
If the rodents in your neck of the woods are anything like the ones here, they'll be back. And with a vengeance. I can't tell you how many times we've made wiring or fuel line repairs to a customers vehicle and the customer comes back in a few days with the same problem. It's like the rodents are pissed about the repair! Damaged again in the same exact spot. The only thing we've found to help with any consistency is a stainless steel wire loom that we put on the repaired area. We've seen the rodents chew on the wire loom a bit but so far, they've never gotten through.We've tried the Honda rodent tape, spraying body sealer, putting grease or silicone on the fix. None of those have worked well.
Gotta love easy fixes! My sister and her husband swear by Volvo's, they've been buying them individually for over 30 years now Nice work Ivan.
Good to know that at least in those years of Volvo still used their own engines I always presumed they were just rebadged ford's completely.
I feel you brother just get yourself 100% peppermint oil mix it with water in a spray bottle and spray engine compartment... not on engine because it'll burn off quick, that will keep them away and doest as often you need to.
Spray with peppermint oil to repel rodents from returning.
My Volvo S60 base model from 2002 with the 140 horsepowered engine has done 235662 miles(380100 kilometers) and runs so smooth..because i take care of it
Man rodents in the northeast just wreck vehicles like it’s their job. Wonder if there is a “Pine Hollow Auto Buffet” channel for rodents who have a pension for ruining vehicles.
Soy based insulation on wires make a good meal for rodents ...say thanks to kook environmentalists who pushed this issue with braindead politicians
“Penchant”
Better than opening your hood and finding a 6 foot copperhead wrapped around the battery...
West coast too
Let the owner know that 2 oz. of Peppermint Oil extract in a 1 gallon sprayer sprayed every two weeks in engine compartment and undercarriage will help. It has to be done every two weeks to keep them away. In some cases they will come anyway but it does help.
My guess is at least 300k, great job as always Ivan! keep up the good work. Thanks for all your videos
I just did wiring repair job on an o6 Buick lacrosse yesterday they got to the wires at the intake and inside the air cleaner box at the pcm, probably spent about four hours soldering, and they actually drove the car to my shop, can't believe they didn't smoke the starter trying to get it to run it took about a minute of cranking over before it would run.
A trick that I've done when stuck with a soldering iron that just won't get hot enough: Just heat the tip with a lighter and get it good and hot soaked; then it will tend to work well on it's own from there.
Good tip. Thanks
Interesting. Would think it'll just cool down again because the soldering iron is weaksauce lol
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics yeah.. hopefully your iron doesn't suck that bad. lol
I live in the high desert where critters are known to move into engine compartments. Fortunately most are ground squirrels which make a mess but usually leave wires alone; but I had a critter move into my generator and fortunately only chewed through one wire, but have also seen evidence of critters in my cars. Anyway I have installed some anti critter devices, little black boxes that have strobe lights and are supposedly sub sonic. So far no critters since I installed the devices; I'm guessing it's the flashing lights that keep them away.
What a lovely sound makes that 5-cylinder ❤️
Had a mouse that eat parts of the padded material under the hood my self on my previous 2015 Focus but luckily no wires where damaged but the mouse did hide in the car somewhere and it made horrible smell for some months. I never found the mouse. Great repair and video as always Ivan 😊👍
Impressive! Still runs with all those problems! In Europe, Volvos are considered very robust cars, and this one lives to prove it, still powerful and smooth - may it pass the 200k!
I cant wait to see the update when it hits 200K, or even 250K Thanks Ivan!
I have a 2015 V60 T5 with 50k on it. Beautiful car but….. it broke the serpentine belt. You are probably thinking that’s no big deal, serpentine belts break fairly often and are typically easy to replace! Well with this design often when the serpentine belt breaks it gets sucked into the timing cover, wrapping itself around the cam pulleys and throwing the cams out of time and allowing the valves to get up close and personal with the pistons.
I loved this car, spending hours cleaning and polishing it, now I can’t even look at it without being pissed off at that flawed design!
That stinks. It is the same with this older Volvo. My mechanic says that the accessory belt is just as important to replace as the timing belt because if it goes bad there's a good chance of a bunch of chaos and damage coming afterwards! He told me the mechanic who changes my oil should be checking the belts every oil change. Doesnt your car have a timing chain, or did they keep using the belts?
@@zzoinks it’s a timing belt, not a chain. If I had known I would have changed the serpentine belt at 30k, the belt is cheap and easily accessible!
Great video Ivan. While I drive an Equinox and F150 as my daily drivers, My Fav's are in the garage for the harsh Indiana weather. I enjoy all the video's and different manufacturers; but I am partial to the Nissan VQ 3.5.
Long live the Volvo Turbo!❤
I swear that every car repair video has a low tire pressure light on.
Now add some NH Oil Undercoating on the wires.....
Need to put those dryer sented towels under the hood. I once heard Bounce towels work. Also a Ford dealer recommended putting lye powder under the hood. Not on moving parts though.
Good one Ivan.
nice fix, and i bet it does at least 350k! 👍
I wish you could look at my friend's GMC Acadia. She's been having problems with it pretty much since she got it. She had a fuel pump put in it, and now it won't even start. She's been out of a vehicle for a few months now, but these "mechanics" where we live can't figure it out what's wrong with it...
Hey Ivan, I love it when you rub the trolls noses in it.
Amazing that it works so well :-D
That's a very forgiving engine management, shame that all cars were not that good.
Tell the owner to rub a jalapeno pepper on the wires, that might be a surprise for the critters.
That guy might want to remove that hood blanket so mice/rats have no material to make a nest
Volvo Day!!! Easily over 200,000
I had a sort of the same. Take cloth and drop some diesel on it and lay the cloth over the engine cover. Rodents don't like the smell.
But you will smell it too 😅
Did you see Keith D. had a road call the other day? A Jeep.
It'll make it to 200,000 miles, no problem.
Volvo’s are good motors,do appropriate maintenance and ALWAYS use top quality synthetic oil (from new) and they last a very long time.
Tell your customer to use anti Rodent spray in his engine compartment or use the Electronic Anti Rodent device under the hood.
I’m not sure Volvo wants this kind of “free advertisement.”
Good looking car this generation Volvo S60, nice to see it continues to live :)
..i got some Cats if he needs a few..🙄🐈
Volvlo on the new chassi (s60. s80. V70 with 4 and 6 cylinder)between 1999 and 2008 is almost indestructable.
Yes they have their faults like pcv valve(should be checked regulary)
Abs module (can be repaired)
Front end bushings.
And if it has magnet marelli throttle body. (Disapered 2004?)
I thought most of them were 5 cylinder 😅
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics just a brain fart
Nice fix
Your a good Man Ivan.👍👍
I had a BMW E46 Diesel which turned out to have piston slap and low compression on one piston. The knock was the only "problem" it ever had. It consumed no oil, always passed the emissions test, ran 200kmh no problem. I rode it for 60.000km until the turbo blew up.
Wow! I think we don't give engines enough credit for how long they'll run broken then. At least if you changed the oil and stuff
Would the car kept on working it you replaced the turbo?
@@zzoinks Most probably. I sold it to a Lithuanian buyer, and Im sure the car still drives nicely somewhere in the Baltics.
Love Volvos..
My baby (2007 S60R) is under going open heart surgery right now, cracked head being replaced at 200K, fingers crossed, looking for another 200K out of her. Shim'd the block, so looking to mod to 400HP as well.
Seems to be first on comments today. Thank for the good content. 👍
here it is a mistake that you have had a rodent visit
but it is impressive that the car has driven in
Best trick to keep a Volvo running: don’t forget to raise the plough before driving off
Those weren’t little mice! Rats ? Get a couple big cats👍
Wow, don't you hate rats nest!! At least it was easy fix!!! Also no parts required lol!! Great job fixing it Ivan! Surprisingly i see it still alive even with the damage to cyl 1 !!
Ivan that engine was designed as a 6 cylinder for the 960,chop a cylinder off for the 850 and v70,chop another cylinder off for the V40.
Not a lot goes wrong with any of them.
Ivan, great video !!…since I retired and moved from NJ to Southwest Florida I never leave my truck outside…we worry about palm rats down here…LOL !!…was doing Corvette diagnostics on the side back in NJ but trying to pick up more work down here but not a lot…a lot more Corvettes down here !!
Rob I hope you know to never kill black snakes, they help keep those pesky critters in check.
At least this rodent was considerate to eat easy to get to wires!
Hey Ivan, greetings from Greece!
Just an FYI for your customer, this S60 has a recall for the driver's airbarg!
Tell the guy to get this beast to the dealership so that he has a new airbag for free!
Cheers!
haha they will mess something else up in the process for sure xD
My airbag replacement was pretty good but they took forever to get the airbag in stock since the recall notice. But I think it should be easy to get it replaced nowadays.
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics hahahahaha come on 😂
With apologies to Indiana Jones: Rats! Why are there always rats?
I used to have a 2001 V70 T5, it died after 520k km's. Same platform as the S60. Good engine. Pretty quick car too. 250km/h (limited) on the German autobahn. AutoTrans? Not so much. Electronics? Meh... Magneti-Marelli...ETM. ABS, ESP... But nice to drive, great seats and general ergonomics.
That Volvo hood blanket material seems to be quite the snack for rodents -- the hood blanket on my V50 is chewed up in the same way.
Besides that, excellent repair. The TS100 is a pretty indispensible tool to have in any tool case if you deal with electrics a lot.
The definition of Volvo is "Great Big Russian Bear." LOL. Thanks for the video - great job as always.
Very surprised that it starts and runs with no fuel pressure sensor and cmp sensor signal issues.
Probably substituted values and a longer cranking time respectively.
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660they take it a step further with Volvos are as well because it will use other sensors to compensate. Fuel pressure sensor sensor for example, probably either running pump at 100% or measuring pressure at sending unit. No cam shaft sensor probably using crank sensor and because fixd amount between the two well shouldn’t be adjusted out at startup/idel. it can work backwards from there to correct itself. None of these would be able to make it run smooth it would run like dog shit but it would reliably run and get you home.
You can take some little bottles of paint from the artists section of Walmart and paint the wires with the right colors. I've done that. The bottles are only about a dollar.
Test the PCB valve blew up and damage cylinder #1 just kept driving it and he has 50,000Yes since the accident and I need Still drives amazing like it's almost the same power and Huge clumps of blanket On the engine and On the bench now
Do they make an automotive pest preventative product to keep mice and squirrels away from under the hood? You would think The makers of Raid or one of those companies would sell something.
It could have been worse; mice could have chewed through the air cleaner and clogged the mass airflow sensor. Great video!
My official bet is if he keeps maintaining it perfectly it will easily pass 300K miles :)
All my Volvos are now officially over that mark :D
I had a 92 crappy van that got to 257k before i parked it and it was still running so no problem for volvo
Every car owner should have a little basket with nuts under the hood, may be the rodents will prefer to chew on those insted of wires🤣
I love my 2007 Volvo S 60
Nice Job! I hope you covered those new patch wires with some plastic loom or TESA tape and then spray them with some mouse deterrent. cheers
Wow, he drove a long way to get four wires soldered together. Now that's respect for you Ivan!
Actually he's moving back to rural PA... couldn't handle the NJ atmosphere lol
He just had a chance to pump his own gas and won't go back. ;)
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Hahaha, wise choice. I fully understand. Central PA is beautiful and peaceful. He'll just have to deal with a lot of snow and rusty cars. 😂
Dem rodents sure did mighty damage. Wonder does the service manual cover rodent damage and the correct procedure. Customer shows confidence with a return visit. Nice fix and volvo turbo power in action 🎬.
why does everyone leave their tires low or tpms sensors dead? I can't stand the light being on.
I've seen a b230 run with a whole through the engine.
It should easily make it to 200,000 miles. My 04 Dodge Dakota with the 3.7 V6 made it to 305,000 miles and i sold it. Still ran fine. Didnt burn or leak a drop of oil. Many miles were hard miles towing a landscape trailer
Rust was the problem. Body was rotting at an alarming rate along with the frame. It wouldve gone to 400 or 500. ,000 no problem
Good to know. I have an 01 with less than half those miles. 1 water pump and battery so far, but lots of rust at rear wheel wells.
Hate those meces to pieces !! use cotton balls with peppermint oil and replenish.monthly !
00:30 If he didn't live in New Jersey, he could afford a batter car. Right, back to the video.
Well I'm man enough to admit when I'm 100% incorrect, I'm rather amazed that the longevity of that engine with slight cylinder 1 damage is still causing Greta to stay triggered.
Mouses!
The ECU holds parameters in case a emergency occurs. The engine will still run but less good then it should.
Well done Ivan!
So glad we have 6 cats outside!😅
On my gas grill rats etc ate my gas hose to cooker..not cool..
