Vacuum tester and alternatives available here amzn.to/2JUwETW
A simple way to test this common and important component.
IMPORTANT This particular valve switches and diverts vacuum at 1000 rpm and this is controlled by the ECU so it is important to check for your own vehicle, the circumstances under which your valve is supposed to work.

VNT Turbo Testing video th-cam.com/video/-2Kk6f0OEfk/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have problem with my turbocharger after the workshop replaced my turbocharger. In 6 months I have limb low boost and many errors on my BMW 525D. My car has been at the workshop 3 times and they can not figure out what is wrong. They charged me everytime and the charger has come up over 2300 Dollars. Thank you to guys like you who share knowledge, I have found out which components has faults and replaced them. I had to replace my Booster pressure Solenoid, the pressure converter valve and two hoses which cause leakage. I am aware a vacuum/pressure handpump is very usefull tool and has decided to invest in a Mityvac 8500 serie. The handpump tool is a very handig tool for many tests when you work with cars.
SiRobb this is a brilliant video where i cannot thank you enough (Seriously thank you so much for making this technical demonstration), my BMW 320D m sport on the N47 has an air leak or vacuum problem where the EGR valve that is brand new is staying in a closed position causing fuel issues and a engine warning light (failed MOT) that 5 garages have failed to diagnose. It makes me angry because there are great videos on TH-cam such as yours that show step by step instructions but more so save us so much money, as all the garages want to do is just hit and miss and change parts including BMW dealerships.
PA6 GF30 is the materials it's made from, not a part number. PA6 means it's made of nylon and GF30 means it's 30% glass fiber reinforced.
Sml132 lol
Haha! Beat me to it! Was gonna say the same. (But in less detail!)
Me too lol. (I wouldn't have known this myself but for watching AvE's vids, mind).
dan mackintosh Go fuck your hat😀
@@danmackintosh6325 another aVe fan too? I thought that as soon as I saw comments about the "part no"
Si, PA6 GF30 is the spec for the polymer used for the casing. It is a recycling requirement that manufacturers state the material. PA6 is a polyamide and the GF 30 refers to 30% glass fibre content, for rigidity enhancement.
Yes, I read out the wrong set of numbers but not really worth filming it again.
The part number is the other set you'll find.
lol
Hi SiRobb, first of all thank you for your effort on making these videos . I have a 2003 XC90 D5 163hp and I have done this test on mine, results the needle on the vacuum pump did not even reach half way of the scale, so it must very much shot. I have tested also the engine mounts, the front one is bad, it doesn't even build any pressure, the rear one is fine it seems that it has been changed I've had the car for two years now and in a week I will be on vacation so following you videos I hope to be able to change the front engine mount, boost control valve, and clean the boost valve behind the egr black tube near the starter motor. For the moment i took off the vacuum line from the front engine mount and closed it with a screw, it seems a little better from stop to start for now. Thanks again and keep up your good work..... Regards Carlo.
I now know why the former owner plugged the valve. Thank you. Great video
Great video! Very helpful. Thanks for the time and effort for making it! 👍🏼
Hi SiRobb. Just wanted to say thanks for the Volvo vids. I look forward to each one. I have a a lovely D5, one owner FVSH but I maintain it myself as I am a motorcycle mechanic. That's not to say I know everything, on the contrary! I find your videos informative and love your little free fixes now and again. Keep up the good work. Im really in two minds about doing the Liqui Moly diesel purge. She is running like a dream (having the Polestar remap helps) but I like the idea of doing it none the less, but you know what they say, let sleeping dogs.........
Belated thanks Nathan for this great comment.
It's enjoyable making the vids and knowing people like you find them useful is very satisfying.
There's plenty more coming up including a cheap 305 mm brake disc upgrade video which if you haven't got it already may interest you seeing as you're running with more power.
Thanks again, Simon.

Nice video sir
On my Vivaro ( 2.0 M9R engine), the vacuum can be measured using OBD2 software like Torque and a basic ELM 327 interface.
Mik W You can do that on any obd2 vehicle. It's not a truly accurate reading though as it's calculated from the MAP sensor and doesn't take into account altitude.
It's close enough to be useful though.
Agreed, there is something reassuring about seeing vacuum measured on a physical gauge and your test is more conclusive to testing TCV behaviour, as it immediately connects on to the outgoing port side. These valves pulse to regulate pressure to the wastegate actuator, depending on the duty cycle controlled by the ECM. That pulsing can result in a vibration or audible buzzing, but it could also indicate that the TCV may not be operating correctly. OBD software is useful for measuring boost at the same time as monitoring vacuum ( albeit derived from the MAP ). You cannot see that relationship between boost and TCV operation when you have disconnected the TCV valve. Using an Opcom interface, you can perform a test on the TCV to open/close it, and you can monitor boost pressure and the pulse ratio applied to the TCV.
If you watch the following video
th-cam.com/video/J-ZqgSmGMb8/w-d-xo.html
you can see a normally functioning TCV. Notice how boost pressure follows the boost command from the ECM. If the data looks normal, then I don't need to even bother to try and test the TCV.
Of course, if a TCV is suspected then your test is extremely useful, so appreciate that you took the time to upload your video.
It''s also worth mentioning that the TCV in my system may be implemented differently to how this device works in the D5, so the behaviour and measurements may not be the same. The duty cycle appears to be binary in the D5, so either on or off. I believe the vacuum measurement should be seen to vary on the M9R engine, depending on ECM duty cycle. If I get one of these devices, I'll confirm it and if necessary, create a video.
Thank you for a great informative video. I can do the same test to check the Booster Pressure Solenoid by connecting my vacuum pump to actuator "Out" and I should be possible to read on my pump if the supply vacuum works. I have a N47T Twin turbocharger engine 218 HP. I think I have two Booster Pressure Solenoids and I think one of them is at fault. I think the error 299100 pops up because the turbine flap can not activate. Maybe all the errors I have had in 6 months caused by Solenoids. I was not aware I had 2 Solenoids, after watching a video last night I now understand why. I have replaced the solenoid in front not the one mounted near the torpedo wall. So I have to order one more Pierburg 7.02256.27.0. Solenoid. Cross finger I am right. I have order a hand pump like yours. I am looking forward to complete all test to verify my engine and turbocharger works as it should. Think you again for your inspiration and motivation:-))
Just what I was looking for, great video thanks.
Really informative many thanks
Pa6 gf30 is the type of plastic that component is made from- ie pa6 nylon with 30% glass fibres mixed in.
Great video mate
Hi!
Did you ever test the resistance of the coil? I get 23.9 ohms but I don't know if it's normal. It seems pretty high to me.
Thanks!
Mine was 25 ohms was that the problem?
Thxz for video it was very helpfull, my alfa156 sportwagon its alive again
alexandre grilo Great! Thank you for commenting.
@@sirobb thanks. You showed testing of tcv valve testing. How to test boost valve ?
I have a vectra c 2.0dti. I have 2 fitted, 1 for turbo and 1 for the swirl flaps. (egr is electronically operated) when I connect the tester gauge to my turbo control valve solenoid it give the same reading as yours but when Increase it to 1k rpm it just drops the gauge reading slightly , it doesn't drop to 0. I would say around 600 on the gauge. I've tested this with swopping the 2 solenoids over to see if it was a faulty solenoid but I get the same reading. also on the swirl flap solenoid I get a 0 reading (not sure if that's normal) . reason I'm testing is because there seems to be lack of boost above 2.5k.
Did you sort it out? I have the same problem
Great ...love these very informative.
Thanks-very useful !!!
Just carried out this test, on idle my vacuum gauge is shaking/fluctuating between 200 and 350, when I bring the revs up the vacuum shuts off at 1100 rpm. Any idea where I should be checking next please Rob.
thanks for the video very helpful
Got to try this on mine as i have the popping sound but blocking this pipe made no difference, so hope i have a faulty tcv , also have wastegate solenoid error aswell
Thank you.
thanks for the share mate
good work - cheers!
Great video SiRobb. After wacthing your video I understand my TCV is connected wrong. According to your video the TCV Bottom connector goes to the vacuum pump and T connector to Booster Pressure Solenoid. Correct? The other connector on the TCV goes to the waste gate actuator. Now I have two new Pierburg, a TCV Pierburg PA6-GF30 and a Pierburg 7.02256.27.0 Booster Pressure Solenoid. I want to be 200 percent sure how to connect these two devices. On the Pierburg 7.02256.27.0 there are two connectors, one from the vacuum pump/T connector and one "Out" goes to the TCV. Am I correct now? The workshop has messed up the connectors and the hoses after replacing my turbocharger for 6 months ago. My car has been on the workshop 3 times and they can not figure out what is wrong with my turbocharger. But they charged me each time. Yesterday I have cleaned my Map sensor, it was clogged up with over 1 cm of oil and carbon. After completing cleaning the map sensor the engine runs more quite and smooth and reacts at each acceleration. Drive train errors messages dissappear too. No more drive train error at 2000 Rpm:-)). I appreciate very much your sharing of your knowledges. I love watching your videos:-)). Please help me if you have any comments to help me on the correct way to make my BMW car working again.
Good video. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Still trying to source a front engine mount :P
+Povo I tested the TCV and it works like it should. Strange that blocking the TCV hose up doesn't get rid of the sound when I take off the oil cap though...
+Povo If you have the Euro3 163, you may instead be leaking vacuum at the boost solenoid behind the EGR.
If that's sticking, it won't be controlling vacuum as designed.
Trace back from the TCV to the T connector which goes to the boost solenoid and vacuum pump.
Remove the boost solenoid pipe from the T connector and block the T connector instead.
+SiRobb I will try it tomorrow. Thanks a lot for your help and videos! I have a 2004 XC90 so I guess it's a Euro 3.
+Povo Black engine cover Euro 3.
Silver/Grey Cover Euro 4
+SiRobb Mine is a Euro 3 then. I'll get some carb. cleaner and clean up the boost solenoid just in case then. Might help :)
Awesome video
I always thought when you increase the revs and open up the turbo, the actuator was being sucked (meaning more vacuum). From this i gather that there is more vacuum when the turbo is closed?
Your understanding is correct however the control valve in this video is actually used to divert vacuum to pneumatic engine mounts.
This is why I say you must check the conditions of operation for the valve on your own car as the valve has multiple uses across different cars and engines.
Understanding after both comments:
This video doesn'tt actualy test vacuum control going to the turbo, but tests control to engine mount that has a vacuum line attached to it.
On a turbo setup you should usualy get TCV valve to open more on higher revs, sucking more air, opening the VNT VGT more.
You ever had or heard of a D5 starting up normal. But then going off as if you turn the key to off.
But you didn't turn the key.
Mines has a couple of times. I just thought nothing of it. Assumed it was the effects of a cold battery, tried it again with a bit of revs and it was fine.
Its probably needing some of these cleaning and purging procedures done. But I don't fancy paying a small fortune at a garage or risk feckin up my car doing it myself.
Hi Andrew, sorry for the late response.
There could be a few possible causes.
Most likely could be as you've suggested, a power issue so check your battery, alternator and associated connections.
Crank and cam sensors are normally very reliable on the D5 but aren't immune to failing. They do normally store a fault code though so a diagnostics scan may be needed.
Also, the ignition/immobiliser antenna ring has been known to be problematic so if it loses signal from the key, it cuts your fuel.
I have checked the hoses on my turbocharrger. I can see at once there is a deviation on connections on the Booster Pressure solenoid. From the vacuumT-connection is connected on the vacuum hose connection on the solenoid. The other "OUT" with cyan color connection is connected to an old hose going under the turbocharger. The Turbo Control Valve bottom connector is connected to the Vacuum T-connection. The other connector on the Turbo Control Valve is connected to a hose to the waste gate. Is this correct? Lately I have got error 299100 Pressure converter turbine flap, Activation Open circuit. The same error comes up on test this evening repeatedly.. The other error 29A400 repeatedly pops up Charging pressure actuator position control charging pressure actuator closed too far positive control deviation. I had this error over 6 months .
Dear Sirobb.
I have buy Vacuum pump like u, and have check the Book Control Valve, like u did.
But I have 15-20inHg, u have ~28inHg, is that normal 15-20 ?
What is your car and engine?
+SiRobb Volvo S80, 2004 D5 120kW.
I have chacked my vacuum leak. All was ok, 2 mount is dead =(
On Saturday, I take off the video of my problem, may be u help me with my problem =(
I'll be very happy.
On the Pierburg 7.02256.27.0 Booster Pressure Solenoid, there are two connectors, The one marked with cyan color is OUT, connector to the TCV. The other connector goes to T-connectors and vacuum pump. Correct?
Correct

Hi there I'm wounding if you might be able to diagnose my turbo problem. No one can help me, not even Mazda!
2008 Mazda BT50 3lt turbo diesel 4x2.
Problem: turbo not making boost until engine is warm (10 minutes driving)
After vehicle is warm makes about 80% boost when diving under 80kms. At 100km car feels like the accelerator has a governor on it and has no boost
I've replaced the following.
1. New turbo
2. New hoses
3. 2x boost pressure solenoids
4. New manifold air pressure sensor
5. New fuel filter
Currently running injector cleaner in the diesel but not making and difference.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you
Hello. SiRobb. Thank you for all you videos. I just did your vacuum pump test. When connected to the pump the needle will not stay steady when i connect to the vacuum tester on the the tube that comes from the vacuum pump to the tcv valve the needle is steady???? what am i doing wrong? Do i have a bad vacuum pump?
When i do what you just did on this video. it behaves like that one. But if i connect the tester to the vacuum pump the needle oscillates!!!???
Saved me time & cash over the years! Any ideas about non functioning auto box "W" (wet..winter??) setting?
Cheers.
Not without diagnostics, no. Sorry.
Hello .. they own a volvo s80 2.4 d5. I've had the following error for some time: p0244 turbo/super charger wastegate solenoid A range / performance . somehow the song presented by you in the video is the problem? Thx 🤝
Hey! Did you resolve this?
Hello,Simon,I put finger on thats valve,and sound it's just little bit smaller from engine,have any clue what a problem?
Thank you for these essential tutorials they’re great. When performing this test does it also imply that the vacuum pump is working correctly? If I pull the pipe off my valve and place a finger over the aperture I am getting a weak suction and the engine popping continues when I remove the oil filler cap?
If you want to know if the vacuum pump is working correctly, you test the vacuum directly as per my other video.
@@sirobb thanks si👍
I have a sob nine Dash three. Could you tell me why there is a hose coming from Midway from the air in take hose to this boost control valve? I understand the vacuum part
What line can you get a boost for a boost gauge in that motor
Whatever line goes to your factory "diverter valve." you can cut and use that line, as it generally comes from somewhere on the inlet manifold. That's the best place to get vacuum for a boost gauge. Then block off the part still attached to the diverter valve, so it stops whooshing and starts fluttering.
hi si my xc90 is a euro 4 and i think the turbo actuator arm is electrically operated, but if the tcv didnt put out any vacuum or the vacuum was continuous so broken, could this put the vehicle in limp mode ie cannot go more than 30mph, no warning lights just: engine system service required message? i know you will bollock me to get obd scanner, but struggle to see a iphone compatible one, many thanks Geoff
Thank you
Hi I have just tested my boost valve on my Vauxhall insignia , it's pulling vacuum and operates the actuator but when I raise the rpm it doesn't drop off so not closing the wastegate would this definitely be a faulty valve or possibly something else that controls the valve ?

I billet my turbo all works fine
After two weeks my car go limp mode after top gear , with code of charge pressure regulation is high , shockingly after inflating charge pressure vacuum it just temporary fixed problem can you help me ?
Good video, I'm a new driver trying to learn how to fix my car, many garages quoted extortionate amounts and seem to not want to give me a straight up answer to exactly whats wrong. I have a Focus TDCi MK3 2014 with what I suspect is a Turbo issue, for first few mins driving the turbo boosts up to 14PSI then stops completely after just 2-3 mins and the car feels like a train. EML shows occasionally but not always. No smoke coming from exhaust and no unusual sounds or noises. Checked all hoses and pipes, all seems good as far as I can see. Error code is P2599 "Turbocharger Boost Control Position Performance - High". Is this TCV the part I should be looking to replace or at least test? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, if someone could just point me in a rough direction. Many thanks.
What is work of boster control valve
I'm trying to find it in my 2008 VW passat
Hello.

Thanks
Maybe you know where i can find this valve on volvo c30 1.6d?
That's so clever 😄
Thanks💪❤️🍾
To be honest i didn't think it was so binary on Garrett VNT's, i thought the solenoid metered the vacuum on a more gradual scale so that the vanes changed geometry with more nuance, rather than being fully open or fully closed.
It is more nuanced.
The valve in this video doesn't control the VNT.
@@sirobb Ah okay, what does it control?
@@ek8710 It controls vacuum to the hydro-pneumatic front and rear engine mounts.
HELLO SIR SIRobb
First thank you a lot sharing with us all these detailed videos about our Swedish ladies !!
They made me progress about the diagnostic of the limp mode hurting my s60 but not fixed yet
I checked the boost solenoid , egr , vacuum pipes as you show on yours videos nut nothing
Without vaccum measure tool it seems that my boost Control Valve TCV diverts no vaccum (toward motor mount ) whatever rpm (pipe pulled off , finger on the tcv , no suction )
1/ can the tcv dysfunction make this error possible (service urgent /required)
2/ is there a test to check if the problem comes from a seized turbo ?
Thank you again
Francisco
francis feugas Hi Francis and thank you for your kind words.
With your problem, I would now pull off the bottom hose to the TCV when the engine is running.
There should be constant vacuum.
If there is no vacuum, the TCV may actually be ok.
If there is a good vacuum then yes that does point towards the TCV not working as it should.
Please buy a vacuum tester though.
They are not expensive and can save you a lot of time.
They are also good for many other jobs.
hello Sirobb
you are right , there is constant vacuum at idle power , so tcv is ko if i have undestood (i suppose tvc feed back bad information that make limp mode ? is that true ? )
besides , is it possible to detect a seized turbo ? , because my mecanic told me the problem was coming from a possibly seized turbo , but not speaking about tcv
think you again for your help
sincerely francis
francis feugas It sounds like your TCV has failed closed so the turbo is unlikely to be affected by that.
The main compressor wheel in the turbo will not be seized but the control ring and vanes may be seized.
If this happens, you can have under boost, over boost or almost no boost.
Using a vacuum tester, you can easily test the turbo actuator and see the control ring lever moving.
If it doesn't move correctly, there is a problem.
Testing is explained in my video here th-cam.com/video/NxmjRaiqeAk/w-d-xo.html
Hello SiRobb
Sorry but i need once again your help !
(I m equipped with a vaccum tester this time)
1/ I cleaned the boost control valve ( can I test it ?)
2/ I cleaned the egr
3/ I dismantled the turbo and cleaned off the coke scale - the vnt actuator move freely
4/ I changed the the boost control valve tcv for a new one
But the test of this later don t work on mine despite : no vaccum whatever rpm
Have you got an idea of the issue
Thank you a lot I don’t know what a can do now

Здравствуйте! Ещё бы русский перевод, цены бы не было вашему каналу)))) у меня тоже в Вольво s80 D5, мне бы очень полезен был ваш канал)))
Hey! Can't find answer to my problem anywhere.... Have you ever seen leaking valve which doesn't close properly with symptoms when vacuum is leaking through valve and not stopping when valve sort of closes? Thank you!
Have you tested the valve as shown in this video?
Is this located under the intake manifold?
hey, do you know where its located on the euro 4 2.4D ? i cant seem to find any vacuum hose maps or any tutorials on it, and i cant seem to find it anywhere in the engine bay
Not every D5 has this valve.
I find it hard to take advice from anyone with an EGR. It reduces engine life by at least 50%.
My EGR has lasted 324,500 miles so far so they can’t be all bad! Although I agree they are silly
Mine is ticking is that normal
Its on a saab 9-3 V6 turbo
Hi Sirob I'm having vibration at low revs with a light metalic vibration from g/box side my suspicions areit could be the rear mounting perhaps I have previously replaced the large strut bar mounting and front lower crank and mounting any ideas ? Thanks for an excellent video though
The vacuum mounts can easily be tested and you can also check and fix the lower gearbox torque mount.
See my list of videos for how to do these suggestions.
is this where i put the boost controller??
Please, is the tester similar to that used by vulcanizer?
I don't know. Send me a link to your tester.
@@sirobb I'll snap that when I get to the market where I went to purchase some parts.
Hi, Rob... great video! I just have a problem with my Volvo v70 d5, the turbo isn’t working any more... so they told me to check that “check valve”... but I have a question for you: do I have to buy the instrument you are using? Or will it be enough just to pull of the rubber pipeline (that you pull off) and when the engine is on, feel with a finger if it works? Cause just to spend money, if I buy the instrument or change the valve, the costs are similar...
I hope in your reply! Anyway thanks a lot for the video!!!
Leaking vacuum only affects the turbo on a Euro 3 D5 so it depends on which D5 version and model year you have.
SiRobb hi, thanks for your time and reply!!
It’s an euro 3 from 2003...
You need a vacuum tester like in the video then.
The amount of vacuum and whether it is a stable reading is important to accurately track down the fault.
The same tester can also produce a vacuum for testing pipes or the engine mounts for leaks.
The testers are not expensive so check the link in the video description or search for even cheaper.
my motor mounts on the xc70 2002 lose the vacuum, even though they are new, so as a solution I blocked the hose from the turbo valve to the mounts to prevent a vacuum leak, do I risk something breaking?
Tnx in front sirobb!
You risk breaking something by not having the correct engine mounting working properly.
Hi si, I have surface oil on various pipes at the back of the engine, and gathering on the large turbo pipe at bottom of engine, when I remove oil filler cap air blows out, I’ve been told it should be sucking, do I have a pcv box on my 2007 xc90 euro 4, any info most welcome ,many thanks
You need to monitor boost levels first of all to confirm overboost.
@@sirobb hi si, sorry to be a pain, Looking for your ELM 327 There’s quite a few and they are also called pro scan, Could you please send the link for The tool you recommend from your Amazon shop, many thanks
This is the same as a boost solenoid isn't it? Does this produce the vacuum to pull the turbo actuator?
No that boost solenoid is on the front of the engine block. It's only on Euro 3 D5.
Hi, I’m having trouble with a 1L 3 cylinder ford. The turbo is brand new and I have tried a second hand vacuum pump and a second hand boost solenoid, but the vehicle does not boost at all and a fault code P0245 turbo wastegate solenoid A Low keeps returning. It’s a 3 pipe solenoid, any suggestions?
Try with new MAF and new MAP sensor
How to test it on my desk? Only two wires? Positive and negative 12V, right?
What about glove test?
My solenoid is ticking does it mean it's faulty
A solenoid is an electromagnet so clicking is a normal sound.
I have an Euro 4 D5 (120kW), I did the test. When the car is idling, the vacuum meter flickers heavily at around 200mmHg. Once I rev it to 1000RPM, the vacuum then drops to 0 as it should. Would you be worried about the rather low amount of vacuum it produces at idle?
Vacuum pipes from valve to the vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump itself is working fine.
On this engines the vacuum meter should be around 700-800mmHg,so I guess you should clean or replace turbo solenoid sensor
Hello! I have a problem with my passat 1.9 tdi: sometime after i start driving it looses power and feels like the turbo is not engaging. What cold cause this?
Intensive Car Studio have you fix it ?
I have a diagnostic fault on my Saab 95: "P1110 Turbocharger: recirculating-air solenoid valve. Malfunction." I googled this, and pictures of 10 different items came up. I had the Bypass valve tested and it was OK. So - what solenoid valve is it??
Euan Williams that your egr valve shited up remove it and clean it up with mr muscle oven cleaner then rinse it of with derv i jest did mine check the small rubber pipes for cracks
Thanks. The P1110 and P0705 problems seems to have disappeared for some time now. Replaced some old pipes. Now for the creaky suspension. I can see why Saab owners own 2 or more Saabs. "One for the money, two for the show/ If one Saab won't, the other will go"!
hi mate i have a problem with my xc70 2002 she has gone into limp mode and i cant get it out no codes showing up on obd2 but can get a 039 code on the dash now i think it may be and i do say maybe the MAF i have ordered a new one at £22.50 worth a shot even if to rule it out its done 200,000 miles so do you know of anything else i can check or anything else you may have come across in the past as i am at a loss at the moment its a d5 as well if that helps
thanks peter
If you can get live data on the OBDII, I'd be checking the MAF reading first before buying another one.
Also, a £22 MAF (if it's brand new) is likely to be junk.
but how do you have vacuum if you are not connected to the car vaccum system? how is the turbo making vacuum by him self ?
Muresan Dorian On this car, there is a mechanical vacuum pump driven by the exhaust camshaft so vacuum is always produced when the engine is running.
Soo if you have an underboost concern, can dis valve also cause the issue since it will stay oppen all the time??
Ricardo Garcia If this valve doesn't operate correctly, it can cause underboost and/or overboost.
There can be other causes too though.
So if I get a P0045 error can the solenoid be bad or is it most likely a wiring issue?
You test with a vacuum tester as shown in this video. If it works correctly, the problem is elsewhere.
Hi Sir my xc 90 d5 year 2004 is having a problem with the pipes of the coolant system the gasket is not the problem what can it be hope u can help…. Thanks… greetings from 🇩🇪
Hello. Can you give me a lot more information please?
Are you losing coolant? Is the engine overheating?
The cooling system has many, joins, pipes, seals and gaskets.
@@sirobb hi the engin is constantly 90c… it is not losing cookant
The coolant level is going down when I drive….
when I open the coolant tank and the pressure goes down from the pipes. It fills up between Max and min
@@MuBe-um7rq Check the coolant level when the engine is stone cold.
It must be at maximum on a cold engine.
It does not matter if the coolant level changes with engine running as long as there is no coolant loss and no overheating.
From your description, I can't see a problem with your cooling system.
I have a cooling system flushing video in my list if you still think you have a problem.
Never open a hot cooling system.
@@sirobb why do the pipes get that hard ( the pipes after the thermostat)or is that normal ? Again thank you a lot for your respond.
Pa6 gf30 just means its nylon and has 30% glass reinforced fibers.
So what happens if this fails? Do you get no / little boost? Im trying to diagnose a few issues on mine
Greg Knight What happens depends on what this valve does on your car and how boost is controlled.
Nice Video. What happens if you have no change in vacuum?
You then check if vacuum is available at the pipe feeding the valve.
@@sirobb I have a vacuum, closing the actuator, but its not opening like in your video when I increase the revs.
Do you have a Euro 3 Volvo D5?
just tried it and... Just with a hand. it seems that it does not create any vacuum at all. also pipe to front engine mount is missing. could it influence some lag in performance around 2k revs?
Yes definitely.
+SiRobb Thanks for prompt reply. I will check my engine mounts as well. The engine behaviour is strange. Rough low revs, than it goes ok and that suddenly there is that lag. Once some 2k+ revs are reached, it smokes havily but than it all OK and car goes like stig.
Hi Sirobb, great vids really helped just one thing, i have tested the tcv and vac pipe coming into it, i have the same tester as you but it holds between 20 & 25hg (not 30) is this ok ? 2007 d5
Thanks
Sam
As long as the needle is stable, that should be fine.
SiRobb great stuff thanks.... only idd thing is tht i still hve popping noise ?!? Mounts are fine etc 🤷🏻♂️
Check at different engine temperatures.
Hi do you have a link for where we can buy that vacuum tester thanks
I don't have a specific link.
Just type vacuum tester in ebay and you will see many options.
Hi Simon, i have a xc90 2.4 2004 but on a 2003 plate, it looks an identical engine to yours,im getting the popping with the oil filler cap off, both engine mounts are disconnected (like this when purchased) i cut the pipe direct from the vac pump as close as i could to the pump and still getting the popping i.e no change when blocked with my finger would this mean the pump is naff i can feel a vacuum though but maybe not enough to control everything ??? any advice please Simon !
regards
Gary
gaz m You need a vacuum tester you need to see my specific vacuum pump testing video near the top of my list.
It might also be worth disconnecting the brake booster connection from the vacuum pump and blocking the pump there to see if the popping stops.
WOW!! that was a quick reply, many thanks i will order a tester now and i will try the brake booster bit when i get the tester.....and will report back to you
Regards
Gary
P.S your videos are excellent.. clear and very easy to follow :)
My vacuum is running at 15, should I replace my boost solenoid?
Ye$$$$
What are the symptoms for the boost sensor if its packing up?? I've got a 2009 skoda superb 2.0 tdi cr se 170bhp and it keeps going into limp mode and the glowplug light flashes when I put my foot down and reaches 50mph
Test the glow plugs first.
Can glowplugs cause limp mode then while trying to get upto motorway speed? Around town car drives perfect
@@jon-luis7344 It depends whether they are needed for dpf regeneration so check them.
I will do thanks so much it'll be first thing I do tomorrow I've taken the car to skoda and VW main dealers and they dont even know what's causing it. where are you based lol lol
I'm in Cheshire
Hello. does anybody knows what p1152 code means?
Hi SiRobb, great vids and explanations! I own a D5 from 2004 and it has an issue which you might recognize. When I approach an intersection and press in the clutch, just before I stop, the engine rev's drop to around 600rpm (normal iddle is 700 rpm), which makse the engine vibrate slightly. Then after ~2-3 seconds it goes up to the normal 700 rpm's. Got any clue what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Best,
Marcel
Hi Marcel.
Have you vacuum tested your engine mounts?
the mounts where actually replaced a couple of months ago.
+Marcel Wierts If they weren't genuine Volvo, I would still test them.
I've heard of aftermarket mounts not holding vacuum.
all right, I'll get a vacuum tester and will check them. Get back to you once I did. ALthough I'm pretty sure they used original parts.
Engine vibration came from EGR-whether it is clean or not,I turned mine 180 degrees (lower mechanical part) and upper (electronic part) normally,through the 3 holes...Immediately engine stopped smoking through the exhaust, the machine did not vibrate at certain speeds and worked quieter and better,I I recommend you to check the turbo solenoid sensor, the MAF and the MAP (the little sensor on the intercooler tube),some people also recommend changing the accelerator pedal sensor
Thanks for great videos. However, the name of the part and parts of the video are a bit misleading in understanding how the vacuum system works. Volvo calls it "engine pad valve" and it's all it does. It provides vacuum to the hydraulic engine mounts diaphragm. Nothing turbo related. Since they share same vacuum circuit with the turbo control valve, if there's a vacuum leak or misoperation in the engine mount vacuum circuit, it also causes a drop in vacuum in the variable-nozzle-turbo control circuit. But that's all there is about turbo for this valve.
maksmail The video doesn't have Volvo in the title so I don't understand why you think it's confusing.
It's a general video showing how to test the valve which is fitted to millions of cars and other makes apart from Volvo.
Testing the valve remains the same.
What it is used for is irrelevant.
It's relevant if you want people to understand how their cars work and for them to do minor troubleshooting on their own, not give them step by step bulletins where they don't have to understand the system. I'm only saying that on this video because it has 184k views and your influence on beginner DIY volvo owners including me is big. Many people are referring to this valve as turbo control valve and I personally think it is misleading for someone who want's to understand what this valve is about. Otherwise, I'm a subscriber and always looking for new videos from you, thanks!
maksmail I do want people to understand how their cars work but I'm not going to do an explanatory video for every application of this valve. It's a switch for vacuum and this video very clearly shows how to test if it's working correctly.
For those who want the more detailed context for this valve, there is my D5 Vacuum System Explained video.
As I've said, the title of the video is key. If it doesn't say Volvo or D5 in the title, it isn't a Volvo or D5 specific video so complaining that it lacks Volvo specific detail is a bit silly.
Like you say 180k views and your observation is echoed by maybe 4 people so the intention of the video has been acknowledged overwhelmingly by the majority and that's good enough for me. 👍
Yes, the title of the video here is the key. I have yet seen the valve used for governing the turbo. This could be for reasons that:
1) I am not a car mechanic and have very limited real world knowledge of cars, also misunderstanding the working principles of this valve
2) the valve works as binary on-off switch and can't regulate the amout of vacuum it bypasses so is useless for turbo actuators
Now, is there a motor system, where it's use can be described as turbo/boost control valve? If so, then I'm sorry for wasting your time here.
maksmail On point 2)This kind of on/off valve is fine for some boost control setups as it's just used to move the wastegate actuator at a given boost pressure to avoid overboost.
On point 1)There's nothing wrong with not knowing stuff so if you don't know a subject entirely, perhaps consider opening with a question rather than starting a dialogue by telling me that I'm wrong.
It's more polite and I'm much more likely to help.
