  • ►A PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) breather system is been designed to regulate hazardous waste from your vehicle. As your engine runs, combustion gases escape from the combustion chamber, finding their way into the crankcase of your engine. This unused combustion gas, also referred to as "blow-by," can be a major cause of smog. A PCV system prevents pollutants from escaping into the environment and vehicle manufacturers started fitting engines with a PCV valve to ensure that gas remains contained within your vehicle.
    *Be sure to re-attach the banjo bolt before mounting the manifold.*
    For more information on the PCV system and why it's so integral to the proper functioning of your engine, click the blog link below for an in-depth writeup on Volvo's PCV system.

    just want you guys to know that i became a customer because of these tutorial videos. i've always worked on my own vehicles (by necessity) and while generally most things are straightforward there is still a huge value to watching someone do it and explain the process, makes things much easier. however, for most vehicles, all you're going to get is maybe a 5 part series of 8 minute long videos of some guy recording with his cell phone, which is still helpful and appreciated, but those have their own drawbacks too. these videos are professional and clear to see what's happening and with good explanations. i was originally going to purchase the parts i needed for slightly less somewhere else, but these videos are so helpful that i'm glad to pay towards getting such great customer service. thank you

    Quick tip for the banjo bolt. Loosen 3 lower intake bolts. Raise up intake 1/2” or so. Re-tighten the center and right bolt. This will hold up the intake just enough to make it easier to reinstall the banjo bolt. Do a few dry runs first so you get the feel of the re-thread. Then do it for real with the top crush washer. Btw, put a towel over the alternator, Murphy loves to drop crush washers into the alternator.

    My family has only driven Volvos for the last 30 years. I have been dealing with FCP for at least 20 yrs and only ONE order was ever wrong (I'm NOT Kidding!) They know their stuff as well as any Factory Trained Volvo Tech. I know because I was taught by 2 ASE Cert. Volvo Factory trained mechanics over the years. FCP has supported the Volvo community and I encourage anyone watching this video to support them in any way that you can. The reason I say that is because it's getting harder finding quality parts for Volvos w/out going to the dealer and paying an arm or a leg, waiting for days for it to be either imported or shipped from a hub. Or even worse No longer available.
    One thing I like about Volvo vs other European manufacturers is that they don't engineer their cars to require only special tools to provide proper service, making it easier for us shade tree/amateur mechanics to drive and maintain our cars for a fraction of dealer service costs. You'd be amazed at how often people tell me that "they can't afford to drive a Volvo" I silently say to myself that I couldn't either with my decent blue-collar wage.
    BTW: I am in NO WAY affiliated with FCP or any other sponsers, sellers or manufacturers.
    I maintain my family's fleet of 6 Volvos, dwindled down from 9. Yes , it's a sickness and I hope you catch it too!

    Excellent video, nice step-by-step. Suggestions: when cleaning out sludge, etc., use a shop vac to remove the debris instead of compressed air so you don't blow debris into ports, etc. Also fill the intake ports with rags before cleaning the gasket surface so you don't get crud into the engine. Helpful videos like this are why I am a loyal FCP customer.

    Adding my two cents worth. Buy the two piece fuel line to rail retaining clip! It will break! Buy the banjo bolt, it will be blocked and the tube WILL be broken. If the bottom hole in the block is clogged, before you remove the sump try to poke through with flexible wire, non flammable brake cleaner, shop vac and a blow gun! The one I've just done took over an hour to unclog that hole but at least I don't have to remove the sump!!! COVER ALL the holes, tubes etc. with rags, paper towels, bags etc. If you don't and you drop anything down an intake tube, for example, you are going to have a REALLY, REALLY bad day! Try not to use an air gun on alloy engines you will eventually strip a thread. If your car is 15 years old with 200k + you will most likely find one or two broken injectors, so plan on buying a set! Old EV1 injectors are notorious for breaking the plastic washers on the tip holding the O ring. The one I'm doing now (05 with 208k miles) has two broken injectors so the whole set is being replaced. Also don't just change the bottom O rings on the injectors, change the top ones as well. They come in the PCV kit from FCP. If I think of anything else I will add to this post.

    Just completely did the PCV system replacement and I am here to help other people
    I have a 05 S60R but same for all the turbo P2s
    This video is a good start but he doesn't do the ENTIRE system, this is essentially a half job, for anyone trying to do the whole job, this is to help you
    Once you get the box off and the pipe disconnected you must now move on to the right and back of the engine by the turbo. There is a slightly larger banjo bolt on the right side of the block, and a PTC connection to the turbo inlet pipe, you must reach in and disconnect the larger banjo bolt with a socket or a box wrench, then once you do youll probably lose the copper crush washers on the old one, thats fine. Next up, coolant is going to go everywhere. Sorry. It's going to go everywhere. the PTC connection is air so youre fine. Then tug the pipe and get it out. At this point comes the hard part, you must disconnect the battery positive terminal and move all the wiring out of the way, coilpacks and all, also your airbox should be off at this point. Now you've got some more room, shove the new pipe back there and connect the PTC line onto the turbo inlet pipe, you can screw the clamp now but i waited til i threaded on and tightened the new banjo bolt. Remember this is the biggest banjo bolt and you must have a copper crush washer before the bolt and after on either side, you know what i mean. Which makes getting this thing on a b****. Not only that but even with the wiring out of the way barely one hand will fit back there. So now push against the pipe behind the engine to force the front of it toward the coolant hose more, you'll get it once you are there. Its difficult but it must be done, finally tighten the banjo bolt and then the clamp on the PTC connection. Once you've got that you're over the hump and its uphill from there its just putting stuff back together.

      @SeaHawk17 Před 4 lety +2

      Also, you should replace that whole banjo pipe assembly with a new updated version for 08+ where few hoses got slightly bigger which could probably lessen the likelihood of those getting clogged again at higher mileage. Then just use synthetic oil ever again!

    Just finished this job on a recently purchased 2006 XC90 with 205,000 miles. Disassembly wasn't too bad, took about 2 hours. Reassembly took much longer (5 hours) though I was going slow and spent some extra time cleaning up the area and replacing broken wire loom. The lower opening on my oil trap was 100% clogged, much much worse than the one in the video here. I sprayed compressed air through the lower opening in the engine block and was unable to hear any oil or feel any air coming out of the filler cap or other holes. I decided to skip dropping the pan and just put it all back together. Once complete, I started it up and did the glove test which it passed with flying colors! The engine sucks in the glove now as it should. So I am not sure if I need to drop the pan after all? Maybe now that I cleared most of the system, the last little bit that was clogged in the pan cleared itself?
    If you are about to tackle this job, spend some time and make sure you have all the parts AND tools you will need. One thing that is easy to skip is hose clamps. You will need a lot of hose clamps. I used a set I bought from Harbor Freight. They are the reusable type, not the one time use ones used in the video.

I owned a S70GLT before and I know even replacing a tiny parts in a Volvo, you have to remove everything in the car to get to it and most of the things in the path were fragile and could break while someone is doing that. Another example is the evaporator for the air conditioning. Volvo parts are not built to fail, that's from my experience.

    Thanks for the video and tips. The kit you guys sent had a smaller version of the short tube that hooks up the engine body on the Breather box. A flexible tube, not the ring gasket thing that attaches rigidly to the breather box and the Engine body. I managed to reuse the old one. It appears it was far too small in diameter to fit the engine. I now have a newfound hatred for the crimp ring gaskets tho so that's a plus.
    Side note tho, it appeared that my PVC box and system were not too gummed up. Not sure if this is because I've run Royal Purple in this engine for the last 5000 miles. My issue still appears to be with the miss-timing of one of the cylinders. 2 or 4 on an I5. Sometimes during acceleration above 40mph the engine will sputter and I will drop engine power. I've run a bottle of Lucas fule injector cleaner through the fule injectors and they look very clean. I did the "Lisen with a screwdriver trick" on the back of the fule injectors and they appear to all be firing. I've tried swapping out new coils, granted I use junkyard salvaged ones. It still does not appear to be these. New spark plugs were just put in 3000 miles ago. Shouldn't be those.

    At 7:30 that is a critical check. Even without a compressed air hose, get a regular hose and blow air by mouth: you should hear the oil bubbling inside the oil pan. If you don't hear it, chances are that oil passage is blocked and 'you must' remove the pan as Jason says, if you don't clean that passage, even with a new PCV box you'll get the engine main and cam seals blown. This is DIY on non turbo engine czcams.com/video/3fEjbMpVSfo/video.html and more details on accessing the bolts czcams.com/video/8CIVJu5E-Sk/video.html

      The passage from the Box to inside the Pan can only be cleaned by removing the Pan. I am far from a pro and pulled the pan. It is very messy like mega messy I love dirty jobs. Invest in paper towels and cleaner.

      In one of your videos you do a plastic bag test on the oil cap opening. My 2004 XC70 does not have suction. So this video is how I fix that right? The whole PCV system?

    Thanks for a great video, Jay does an awesome presentation. My V60 has 240K on it and the trap was plugged. I would suggest replacing the evaporator hoses and valves while I am under there. Also a 10 mm Crowsfoot wrenched taped on the end of a ratchet extension will get the far left lower bolt, of the intake, loose and tight. Cheaper then a Wobble socket

    • @BobKontak
      @BobKontak Před 6 lety +1

      That is a good idea. I struggled for a while with that bolt and fortunately have a set of higher quality 1/4" drive extensions with the semi-wobble end that gave just enough wiggle to get it on. The video poster looks to have stubby wobble sockets. Not something you can pick up at the local parts store.

  • @rstraube2000
    @rstraube2000 Před 5 lety +8

    Great vid, as always. That last bolt on the lower passenger side for the intake seems just about impossible to get off without removing the stat housing but Jay has a better wobble socket extension than me (which makes sense). I just ended up yanking the stat housing and getting a pseudo coolant change out of the deal.

I did take off the oil pan (very easy compared to most other cars) and the breather channel was clogged there too. It is a square shape channel. I believe you need to take off the oil plan to get the whole system unclogged.

    Excellent instruction. You may want to use coconut oil on the fittings if you need to, because silicone base lubricant contaminates AFR and narrow band O2 sensors, and cause mixture control, drivability problems and $$$ for replacement. Many O2 sensor oem suppliers have published data showing this, NTK, Denso, etc. Returned "defective" sensors showed in lab tests to be "silicone poisoned", as the leading cause of early failure. I try to assemble dry any plumbing on an intake system that utilizes oxygen sensors, w/b or n/b. Otherwise, it is one of the best vids that deal with this issue clearly.

      @@donaldzupko7810 Honestly, I had more trouble getting the banjo bolt back on than off. Side note: Ratcheting wrenches and wobble joints are your friends! Be sure to check the box for the new washer, too! The entire job took several hours that I ended up splitting between two days. Not a hard job, even though it digs pretty deep into the engine compartment. Just keep track of what goes where and bolt placement, etc.. FCP Euro's guide is excellent for the step-by-step. When you have the intake manifold off, be sure to check the vacuum hoses that are normally tucked under it. Mine was about the same mileage and had some that were collapsed and crumbly. You should definitely clean your throttle body while you're there, too! It's an excellent opportunity to take care of any kind of normally hidden maintenance. Go step by step, reference the video anytime you have a question or a doubt and you'll be fine.
