Thanks for sharing! This video saved me when the mysterious whistling noise came up during a recent roadtrip. I was a couple hundred miles from home and couldn't find a shop with any availability, so I bought the part and some tools and was able to fix it myself and get back on the road.
After watching this video, I felt good about doing this myself. AND, I just did this yesterday on my Volvo XC60 -- I bought the original Volvo part from IPD which came with diaphragm and gasket. Took out all 14 T30 bolts (as shown in video), all of which I could touch with my fingers. Highly recommend a couple of extensions on your socket and a u-joint. You WILL need something like carburetor cleaner to clean out all the gunk in the bottom before putting the new one on -- mind the 3 little ports (block them so stuff doesn't go down). ALSO, don't forget the blue thread lock. Thank you for such a great video! Was able to fix this during COVID-19 lockdown without endangering my life taking it to a shop.
You can replace the rubber membrane just by removing the cap on the right. Just heat it with a heatgun and pry it with a screwdriver slowly so you won’t break it, there you go. 5 minutes and $6 later it’s all fixed.
Hi can you please give us a link to the low cost price of oil trap silicone membrane or kit. Thanks for helping us save the $167 for the whole plastic shroud by Ford FoMoCo/Jaguar/Mazda/range rover gang. Unfortunately Volvo & Mack trucks was sold off to the CCP.
Boss I have the same car a 2011 s80 t6 doing the same thing why didn’t you just replace the orange rubber like most people do or you can’t on this car. Cause I want to do it to my car but don’t know if I could change the rubber or I need to change the all thing like you did no lights or oil leak just yet just the noise
Leonardo Alvarez well volvo dont sell seal itself you have to buy whole part, i always preffer original equipment , after market parts can give u hard time by experience
Leonardo Alvarez go to fcp euro website the prices are fair on that website. Make sure says oem, turbo 6cyl use different oil trap with 2 bolts on top of part
@VolvopediaGuy. Thanks for the great analysis. My 2008 3.2L XC70 developed this squeal a couple months ago. My mechanic finally diagnosed this as you have described and he will repair in a couple of days. I haven’t noticed any other adverse issues associated with this. Is it ok to drive for a few more days until I take it in for the repair?
D Monroe I honestly don’t recommend to drive it like that for a long period. The excessive suction can cause rear main seal to leak(worst case scenario) that will cost 20dollars (seal) the part but repair will cost more than 1500dllrs
If I can't at present afford the full PCV cover/oil catch replacement, could I for now simply clean out the reservoir and replace the rubber seals to tie over a full replacement?
It is very hard to find a rubber seal (baffle) that has same characteristics as the original oem, One time I replaced the seal on a s40. Only worked for 2 days
Can a bad pcv cause a CEL p0171? Experiencing a squeak that I thought was a pulley but it goes away when I take the oil cap off and the dipstick was super hard to remove
white fox the high pitch noise is from excessive vacuum, baffle (round thing on top) tears. When is positive pressure the oil dip stick tube will blow fumes
On top of oil trap part there is a round cover about 2 inches that is the part that fails, but Volvo sells you the whole thing . I know people that has buy that part by itself, but haven’t find it online
Will the pcv valve cause the opposite effect in some cases too? Where the breather can plug off and pressure up the crankcase and cause air to escape from the oil cap and dipstick? Or do I have a whole different problem on my hands.
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. Please advise why I could NOT remove the old cover, after I removed all 14 screws. My is 2010 XC90 3.2 and I just do not take out the old cover. Could you please advise on this?
Thank you so much for sharing! I have related questions about my 2009 XC90 3.2 (145,000 kms), which has widespread oil under the engine and a significantly oily/grimy drip tray (the top of the engine is clean/dry): 1) Could failure of oil trap/pcv valve cause my oil leak(s)? If so, is the rear main seal the likely culprit? 2) If I replace the part, will my leaking seal(s) perform as normal or will they be permanently damaged and require replacement? 3) Are there any vacuum lines or peripheral components that should be checked for blockages at the same time? Thanks again!
good morning friend, i have an xc60 2010 3.0 i changed the head gasket and after that it started pouring oil through the intake pipe through the breather on the cover you could help me, you know what could have gone wrong.
First check turbo some bad turbos leak oil inside intake system Also bad oil trap will draw oil into combustion chamber. ( very rare when they do that)
@@VolvopediaGuy The oil rises only when I drive the car at idle does not rise. The turbo is new, I changed it thinking it was the problem, the oil goes up through the spherical valve in the lid in great quantity.
I hear the same noise only after engine warms up and only at idle. A bit suction when opening oil cap. But the noise does not change. Is this due to a bad pcv?
@@VolvopediaGuy I just took off the oil catch. It was dirty but here is my problem, THE SCREWS WERE SO LOOSE I COULD REMOVE THEM WITH MY FINGERS!!! I know they should NOT have been like this. What is the proper torque poundage to tighten them? My new part will be here tomorrow sometime and I am going to install it when it arrives. Thanks for all your help!!!
Hello, my cx 90 2016 wagon sounds like a rough tire rolling when I drive, like a round and round vroom vroom deep raspy sound. It quieted down for a while but not long. Do you think it could be this?
I don’t know who sells the baffle by itself. I searched and searched for that little pice but couldn’t find it. I tried one on an s40 1 time but it went bad 2 days later
@@VolvopediaGuy Thanks for the response. coolant seems to be fine. Although the steering sometimes gets stiff coming from a full stop but as long as the rpms are up it turns fine. For instance when I try to park and put the car in reverse the wheel gets stiff, but if I put it in neutral and give a little gas I’m able to turn the wheel easily. Any ideas?
@@VolvopediaGuy it's very hard to "catch" the sound in the first place, it's mostly audible slightly when im driving through a tight space like a drive way and can hear it with my windows open, and only gets loud rarely for a few seconds, mostly soon after starting the car. But I already ordered the trap. I have 170k km on the car but I'm not the first owner and I'm pretty sure it was never changed.
@@VolvopediaGuy So, now it sounds like a duck calling - quack, quack, quack. when I press on where the gasket is, it stops, when I let go, it starts up. Maybe I got a defective part?
I would not use an air ratchet to fully tighten the screws, I believe the right torque spec is 6nm or 4.4 Ft-LB. I know they sell an aftermarket diaphragm on eBay & Amazon (60)$. I know there are aftermarket covers with the gasket for much less than the dealer ($110). Not sure if the dealer just sells the diaphragm. Just do a back to back to check the screw pattern fir before installing.
I just watched your video and Iam getting same high pitch noise as well as strong vacuum pull on oil cap, and dip stick . Would like your opinion on buying Dealer part OEM or after market OEM part , thank you.
Pls help, I’m having difficulty troubleshooting my 2012 Volvo xc60 3.2l eng. I/M not ready for the oxygen sensor signal with No DTC and no CEL. many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
I wonder what’s the actual part number … I could also hear loud noise from the alternator I’m just gonna replace them both I’ll pull dipstick out in the morning and see if noise goes away
@@PapayanPepper got the part from the Volvo dealership in Savannah Ga running like a champ with no noise now .. did end up having to replace alternator too bearings was very loud I’ll make a video
mine doesn't have the high pitch noise, but when i pull dipstick out, there is pressure coming out, it has looping idle when the dipstick is in, but when i pull the dipstick out the car is normal again. so is it the oil trap, pcv valve problem? Thanks
I have a s80 2004 non turbo model.....now its started the whistling noise....when you pull the oil dipstick or oil cap noise vanishing sometime......what could be the problem? ???
Oil trap had a seal. If the seals tear creates an excessive vacuum inside engine so any little hole inside engine can create whistle. From where I don’t know
I recently got a oil change and shortly after my engine light came on and then this same whistling sound began shortly after. Any chance the mechanic who did the oil change caused this issue??????>
Volvo replaced the oil trap on my 3.0L for me a while ago (didn’t realize how easy it was). Soon after, I got a misfire code on cylinder 6 and she consumed at least a quart every 1k miles but no blue smoke or visible leaks. I put a quart and a half in. 1 week later, same thing. But since the second top off she’s been fine, no misfire or oil consumption. Could they be related issues?...
Tyler Baldauff sorry to hear that. But when car consume excessive oil specially on this car. We end up replacing piston rings. You can try BG products they have one that will restore your piston rings that are collapsed (sticking)
Volvopedia Guy, very interesting. I didn’t have oil consumption issues before the trap was replaced only after. Well hey, as long as the cylinder walls aren’t scored then I can replace the rings and maybe throw billet parts in 😈. Thanks for the reply and awesome channel ✌🏽
I was having cylinder 6 misfire engine code P0306 and after throwing many different parts at the problem (spark plugs, coil & fuel injector) I'm now being told by the dealer that it's the Oil Trap. Reluctantly I had the repair done but haven't gotten it back yet. Any thoughts?
@@TonyStarkDC the oil trap fixed my engine light but I burned lots of oil. Since this post I bought a new car (2012 s60 r-design) these cars are impossible to fix by yourself. I wish you the best of luck!
Hi Volvopedia Guy, thanks for the vid. I diagnosed the same problem with my 2007 XC90 and confirmed it by removing the dipstick which made the sound go away. i replaced it with a $55 BOXI replacement and the noise continued. Is it possible that i didn't tighten the screws properly? I can't believe that the internal diaphragm causing the problem would be bad in the replacement part too!?
got the part from the dealer for 3x the price - problem solved. Thanks! money well spent! now I have a new problem...my radio doesn't work after i disconnected & reconnected the battery per the advise on the video. the screen is now blank. I can press the power knob and it will say "volvo premium sound" only for a few seconds and goes blank again. I can get into the settings menu but thats all. have you seen this before?
Rob Romano I seen that internal radio diodes burn . Solution is to replace CD player that has radio interstates. Other problem is the infrared audio signal . Try to bypass satélite radio or disconnect satellite radio sometimes satellite radio will interrupt light signal
Hiram Gonzalez I recommend to replace oil trap as soon as possible. It will set check engine light because computer thinks there is an air leak but the air leak is internal. The injectors will throw more fuel to compensate but still not enough fuel miture to compensate. That will ruin your catalytic converter that cost more than 1000 dllrs. And may create other failures like oil leak from the weakest area (seals) 3.2 havent see that but other volvos I have seen failure on engine seals
Update. I replaced the oil trap, noice is gone. I purchased an OBD scanner and I read five different codes. Long story short, my MAF was dirty I used a MAF cleaner codes are gone. Thanks for the help you provided.
Hi, I have 2 questions for you, is that unit just the oil trap, or is it two parts all-in-one? (PCV valve/oil trap) Second question, I saw some oil traps on Amazon for about 70$, are these good? Thanks in advance for your clarifications
Thanks alot for your response, I got the part from a Volvo dealership and the installation was very straightforward... Thank you so much for all your help
Chris Chesna sometimes that will consume excessive oil. But also we had many 3.2 and 3.0 oil consumption (piston replacement) Try compression restoration first or engine flush maybe will help. Try bg product
What an annoying music!!!! Try PCV first. All other videos on TH-cam point to PCV. If you are lucky, you can avoid replacing the entire housing and just the valve itself. I heard it could be purchased on eBay cheaply.

Thank ya! I placed my order few mins ago, it’ll arrive Monday and I’ll work on it ASAP. THANK YOU & God bless you!
Update.
I replaced the oil trap, noice is gone. I purchased an OBD scanner and I read five different codes. Long story short, my MAF was dirty I used a MAF cleaner codes are gone. Thanks for the help you provided.
Hiram Gonzalez awesome.
Hiram Gonzalez most of the time it will give u maf code. But oil trap is the cause of it. But congrats for doing it your self and save money
Is this engine reliable?
yes
does this part do the same thing as a PCV valve that costs $7 on other cars?
Yes
Would that problem also throw a code?
Lean code
Hi,
I have 2 questions for you, is that unit just the oil trap, or is it two parts all-in-one? (PCV valve/oil trap)
Second question, I saw some oil traps on Amazon for about 70$, are these good? Thanks in advance for your clarifications
Christian Bana it has both I recommend OEM parts
Thanks alot for your response, I got the part from a Volvo dealership and the installation was very straightforward... Thank you so much for all your help
Christian Bana any question feel free to ask
Is this engine turbocharged?Does anyone know if this engine was available in UK?
It is not turbo charge. But in USA they have turbo charged
@@VolvopediaGuy Thanks.
The PCV valve is integrated with the cover, it cost about 200.00 bucks
Hi buddy. Any chance this is related to this engine also consuming a lot of oil?
Chris Chesna sometimes that will consume excessive oil. But also we had many 3.2 and 3.0 oil consumption (piston replacement)
Try compression restoration first or engine flush maybe will help. Try bg product
please volvopedia guy can u help me how can I replace pcv valve on volvo v50 2017, it has the same noise and oil leak
sudan gorebet. V50 2017?

Esko Enköping. Good
What an annoying music!!!! Try PCV first. All other videos on TH-cam point to PCV. If you are lucky, you can avoid replacing the entire housing and just the valve itself. I heard it could be purchased on eBay cheaply.
Hello, i drive a 2008 xc90 3.2. When I startup my car and let it idle the engine sounds high and low. I don't know if there is a way I can send you a video so you understand what I mean.
