Replacing Broken XC70 Tailgate & Bumper Cover After Low Speed Battle In Starbucks Parking Lot
Grabbing a quick coffee at Starbucks led to a backing incident with a much larger pickup truck - apparently he couldn't see the XC70 from his higher pickup perch.
The slow-speed incident destroyed the XC70 tailgate window and cracked the tailgate material significantly. We already had the damaged rear bumper cover from our initial purchase July 2019.

I'm doing this job on my 2006 V70. OEM here too. Now I'm going to be extra careful replacing those o-rings. What I don't get is that the oem o-rings I bought come in a set of 2 for each injector. Where does the other one go? Nice to see it all apart like you have it here. Funny that we have to cut a notch out of the new gasket! Also nice to see the back of the engine opened up. I'm doing all the cam seals so I'll be in there soon. Watching other videos, yeah that banjo bolt looks to be a bi*ch, but seeing it here all open really helps me frame what's going on. Thanks for sharing all this. Nice job.
I’m glad to see this job is doable for the average Joe. I replaced the neglected 200k engine in my Previa with a low miles JDM engine years ago. Prior owner thought running straight water in the cooling system was a good idea 🤦♂️
On a side note. Finding cracked/worn seals is to be expected at high mileage. You can replace them as you go along since most will still operate. But unfortunately when you move a part with worn seals/rings, they will fall apart when removing. That's universal in all cars.
Thank you for the video and your want to create this content. I found it very helpful as I'm about to tackle the breather system in my S60R. It's a love and passion. But it's also fun to self diagnose. I'm looking forward to updating my breather system. Also thanks for bringing up the spacer for the throttle body.
I find it so fun how you drive with a OBD2 reader! Have you ever tried a smoke machine???
No. Not all the time - just curious watching fuel trims while it was throwing P0171 lean condition recently. Starting to feel I fixed it this time...
Where do you get or buy your books or manuals??
Bought them as a set from eBay - they are year and N/A v SC specific. I've sent them on local Craigslist occasionally too.
Great YT! Where do you find those hoses?
IPD blue silicone hoses :)
Hi. I have the this code in a kuga. 2.5. i need help. From Ushuaia Tks
I do not have any experience with a Ford Kuga / Escape - best of luck on your project.
if you know how it really is as easy as the book says, reach in with a long flat screwdriver and slide it under the red tab, twist the screwdriver to lift the tab, the grey lever is easier with a short screwdriver so you can lever it. They are designed so you don't need to remove them from the bracket. Yours is fwd, thats a lot easier than the awd with the angle gearbox in the way. But either way you still have to pull the airbox and pipes. get yourself a lift, i put a maxjax M7K mid rise 2 post on credit card this spring, i have 2 more payments left to go. Prices are going up $500 every year.
I was afraid to break something not really sure how to get them unclipped. Decided to pull them out for easier viewing access to show how each clip works. Definitely need to get a lift at some point... :) Jamie
Good job. I dropped the pan on my V70 last year and it was bags of fun. All on my channel too. Take care and good luck with your old Volvo.
I will check it out
nice score man I just got an m56 manual for an 850 at Colorado auto and parts for $400
The best part is just knowing that you did it all yourself. I've done 4 sets of headgaskets in my life. 3 of them were Fords🤣 They all run great. The only aftermarket radiators that I have found that dont explode after 3 months are from 1800 Radiators. They have a huge warehouse in Austin and they ship fast.
Congratulations 🎉 👏 Glad you got all the gaskets done.
Me too!
Glad you found the problem and found it was easier than you thought. Haha I thought your bolt you were holding was for the cams when you set the split cam gear! I found the bolts funns with all that red lock tite like you cut off your thumb😅😅😅😅
What you should have done was put the thinner in first then fill the tank so it mixes.. unless you like 50 mph curves 😊
It is a Super Car... :)

"Your door is ajar..." "No it's not. It's a door!"
You have the same exhaust i have, i have a 02 v70xc though, i like that exhaust, everyone else hates it lol. I been getting same problems, my throttle body is only 4 years old though but one cold morning i went to go to work and i heard a crack like glass cracking, i didn't think anything of it but then the yellow light came on saying reduced engine performance and i could only go 15 mph and i got to a parking lot and just parked it and walked to work, got back and started car and everything was fine and i shrugged it off as it was just the cold, then i went to store and seen a bunch of white smoke coming from my exhaust and got to store and shut off and seen white smoking just coming out of exhaust, it was weird, i thought my head gasket blew or something and i kept my car at store and had my friends help me get it, drove home without any smoke. Now i get the P2131 code in the background and my throttle behaves oddly, my mechanic is telling me my throttle body is failing but its only 4 years old and it is a bosch and so im thinking it just needs cleaned but i think he just doesn't want to do all the work getting it out and it actually does need replaced and him putting it back in and id have to get a new one anyways. I am trying to talk him into cleaning it though.
There's a follow up video where I replaced my throttle body and sensors after the codes returned - posted back in January :)

What symptoms did it have when it failed ?

Hi. My friend When the PCV valve fails does any fault code occur? How do I know if the PCV valve is failing?
I'm not sure if it sets a fault code. I could see the oil pan / cooler seals were leaking indicating the system was pressurized - can also use a glove test on the oil fill. You can see in the video how much oil trap leakage was on the front of the block.
@@jamiecars Ok. Thanks
There is different lacquer thinner, automotive is a purer grade used for body shops rather than the store grade stuff.
Thanks for your video, it really helped me fixed my 2003 XC70, I'm also a volvo enthusiast. Quick question, how were you able to get the Vida software, and where did you buy the DICE hardware. I can't seem to be able to find a reliable place to purchase them. Thank you again. I love your content.
I purchased a laptop & Mongoose Cable (not DICE) here: diaglaptops.com/wp/ I'm still learning to use it. I keep a cheap OBD2 unit in the car for immediate use - when needed. :)
i don't know if the spacer is strictly necessary. i have a 302 f150 with a carburetor, and i put on an aluminum intake and a phenolic spacer. it's necessary for that because with ethanol in the gas nowadays the carburetor can get vapor locked and stop sucking gas, so it has to stay cool. it's also in the middle of a v8 with a big air cleaner above it, so it's in a fairly heat prone area - on purpose, because the engine was originally designed with a cast iron intake that took forever to heat up in the winter, so much so that they piped exhaust into the intake manifold to gather up some heat. that being said, on these turbo volvos with an intercooler, there is cold, high volume air piped directly into the intake through the throttle body. that's going to remove a lot of the heat. also, aluminum is conductive enough that it's good at collecting heat, but it's also good at dispersing heat. the throttle body is located somewhat far away from the valve train and the exhaust, so it's not likely to get too warm, i would guess. the heat also has to travel through 2 gaskets and 12" of metal to get there. the computer, meanwhile, is probably built to withstand 350 degrees anyway, as that's the average temperature under the hood during operation. the spacer won't hurt anything either but just wanted to say in case anyone watching this gets worried about it. personally i think the original design is ok as it is, though a little cumbersome to work on
1996 OBDII was required. Roughly half the cars had it in 1995. Some cars models in 1995 had both such as the Mustang 3.8l was obd II but the 5.0l was obd I. Some 1993 Nissans had a OBD II port but I don't know if they worked and followed the protocol. Some cars had both OBD I and II ports depending what system you needed to access like trans, airbag or pcm.
My volvo xc70 popped up the bad thermostat... no over heating etc yet... but I'll be taking it to my mechanic. This is too much of a headache
Ok..First you fix exhaust properly..Then add one gallon L Thinner to 4.5 gallons gas..Clear OBD2 codes/ Erase..Then drive 175 miles roundtrip..Map out gas stations along way..Dont allow the thought that Check Engine Lights turn off by itself..Emergency Mobile Mechanic ASEP Cert...Here to help....
See follow-up video :)
did you have to remove the high pressure line to remove the pump?
I did remove the high pressure line to completely removed be the power steering pump. Might be able to keep it connected to access that bolt on the thermostat unit...
I wonder... I'm probably crazy, but I bet I can do it without taking off the manifold and just lay under the car to get at the stuff needed taking out. The kit at my local online shop here in Sweden has the whole kit, gasket, piping, clamps, oil retainer box. I'll need to really get under it and get a good look.
Maybe. There was a post that said you can reach the difficult manifold banjo bolt from underneath with extension / knuckles but I haven't tried it.
Let us know how that goes please. I'm performing this maintenance over July 4th weekend
Hey Jamie,when I took the fuel rail off I had two of those “plastic o ring retainers” missing. Do I have to replace the whole injector now?
Put mine back together without the plastic broken retainer clip - it's been fine but I need to be careful not to lose an o-ring next time I pull it out. I think there are replacement o-ring kits that include the plastic retainers. believe I saw it on Amazon?

Great Video! I'm about to do the PCV job on my 2003 XC70 and I know I will have to drop the pan after too :(.
Oh yeah, did you torque the pan bolts to a specific spec or just did you just tighten them?
Yes - I set to the torque spec from Haynes Manual. I think I mentioned 13 ft-lb in video but not remembering specifics.
How many miles does yours have? Im at 230k , and the top portion was clogged. I know i need to drop the pan but might just poke at the port with wire 😅
@@tierodend Just hit 186k miles last week. It was pretty clogged up and the PCV / Oil Trap was in bad shape last NOV/DEC when I replaced the entire system. So far so good after replacing the oil cooler, oil cooler seals, as well as the oil pan seals from this video. Crossing my fingers all is well - it's been driving great / smoother.
@@tierodend I'm at 205K miles. The top port wasn't that bad. the bottom port was really clogged. Spent about an hour cleaning it, poking at it, and inserting a bendable tube I had laying around in my basement. I managed to get it in about 11" inches and blew some air in that bottom port and I can hear the oil bubbling. I might still drop the pan for peace of mind. Next up is replacing the crankcase breather pipe assembly. Worried about those damn banjo bolts :)
yep, its the headgasket. sorry.
thank for sharing video, friend
What you're pointing to is not the variable valve intake timing. The VVT is on the front, or the opposite end of the engine. I have a 2004 XC70 AWD T5 and mine has both an intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors. I'm not how your vehicle can drive without them. Also; please use caution driving from Dallas back to Colorado. Highway 287 is a known spot for cops to bust people for drugs.
Correct - Working on the Cam Position Sensor (Exhaust) - which allows the computer to know where the cam is positioned with the corresponding VVT (Exhaust). This 2002 V70 2.4 T only has VVT / Cam Position Sensor on the exhaust side of the engine. Hwy 287 Simple Solution: don't drive with drugs in the car :)
Nice content! I just subscribed! Also, my car won’t unlock from the inside aswell using the switch on the ddm. But locks just fine like you said. You think cleaning the module will fix it?
Maybe. I'm waiting to locate a V70R Nordkap driver door card before I tear into the ddm cleaning project. I think it should help...
Have they fixed the banjo bolts that had a little pin that would fall of and ruin the engine.
Yes - redesigned pcv banjo bolt on the intake connection. No longer an issue.
Those silicone hoses aren't doing you any favors. When hoses cannot expand, they find the weakest point to leak at. Or in your case, at the clamp. Genuine rubber hoses are designed to expand and constrict as the engine heats up and cools down. For this particular hose, that worm-gear style clamp is okay. However, in other areas, it is not recommended because it does not allow the hoses to expand, and digs into the hoses, thereby weakening them. The OEM hoses are known as Oetiker clamps. These do allow the hoses to have somewhat flexibility, yet still prevent leaking.
I have a 2001 s40 1.9 turbo 4 cylinder. And I’m in the process of replacing the pvc valve system. And what I ordered is longer than the stock pvc valve line. Do you fix Volvos?
I'm not a mechanic - just working on our older cars. Go to IPD to see parts for your 1.9 engine - or FCP Euro. That's where I buy my Volvo parts.
Volvo 1.9T is a 4 cylinder block. Sounds like you received for a larger Volvi 5 cylinder block: 2.3T, 2.4T, or 2.5T - or even possibly one of the larger 6 cylinder blocks: 2.8 or 3.2...

banjo bolts have torque specs that you can find online, itd probably be somewhere around 25-35nM for the bigger pressurized 19mm one and maybe 15-25nM for the 17mm one, i could be wrong ab the specifications im just guessing based on some knowledge please correct me if im wrong

injector pintle caps. replace them all.
Will have to wait until next time I pull off the fuel rail / injectors...
coolant drain plug doesn't come out, you just turn it 90 degs and then open the coolant pressure tank cap and it will drain quickly. Injector O rings and pintle caps should be replaced, you already broke one so swap them all.
o ring in the oil pan on the oil feed galley to the solenoid is clogged or pinched. Vida can run a cycle test to show cvvt solenoid reaction time. In vida, go to the vvt solenoid, it will show a picture of the solenoid, click on the picture to launch the test menu. When using vida you should keep a charger on the battery, it activates all the modules and gobbles the battery power in short order. You need a very healthy fully charged battery to run the volvo 5 cyl, it doesn't like low volts, the computer won't play. The engine will run but set a CEL if off 2 teeth,.
