I watched this video and I have a comment to speed this up and make it easier. Unbolt the motor mount bracket [two 15 mm bolts on your left as you stand in front of car]. Place a 2 x 6 on top of a floor jack and place every distributed across the oil pan and jack up the engine. This gives you enough room to remove the air box completely. While u have box out spray the mass air filter with mass air filter cleaner. Spray the rubber bushings [4] that the air cleaner mounts to with WD40 so it slides in easier. Took me an hour.
Thank you for your video. My S40 dumped it's coolant yesterday evening from what appears to be the thermostat area just as my wife and I pulled up to a nice restaurant for our 1st anniversary. So looks like I have some work to do. Thank you for you helpful video.
Great video! I have a problem with my 2007 V50 T5 - the temperature gauge used to be in the middle if the engine is waemed up but now it is 1-2 mm righter. Is it ECT sensor or thermostat or what?
I got the airbox out (2005 s40 with a T5 engine) but it was not easy at all. I got the plastic housing for the thermostat off and pulled the old thermostat out. I put it all back together and it leaked like crazy. Had the rubber seal on the new thermostat and the plastic housing bolts tightened. It there a gasket for the housing by chance? Does the new thermostat have to sit in there a certain way (I didn't think so anyway)? I didn't see an old gasket for the plastic housing when I took the housing off. Thanks in advance! Help would be appreciated.
The airbox comes out just push it as far to the right as possible and force it out its completely safe i work on volvos all the time for about 15 years now you're lucky its not the t5 model then you'd be surely cursing up a storm
Like I have been doing. I got the airbox out but it was not easy at all. I got the plastic housing for the thermostat ofd and pulled the old thermostat out. I put it all back together and it leaked like crazy. Had the rubber seal on the new thermostat and the plastic housing bolts tight. It there a gasket for the housing by chance? I didn't see one when I took the plastic housing off. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for the video. I would suggest letting all the coolant run out. perfect time to change the coolant! Coolant can lose its lubricity over time, it can also become contaminated.
My cousins bottom radiator hose is leaking on her Volvo I started to work on it when I realize the airbox would not come out that's when I knew the job was going to be bigger than I ever expected just to replace a hose so I immediately bolted that air box back up and I said well this is a job for a mechanic I'm not even getting involved in this car this is not a shade tree job by no means so I like what you said if you got the money take it to a mechanic and let them fix this job is not for the faint hearted you were right. Since she doesn't have a lot of money but her dad does off to The mechanic it goes .Volvo should be ashamed of their self for doing something like this anyway nice video thanks
