  • Volvo PCV Replacement 2001-2009 2 5L Engine. If you own a Volvo, eventually, you're going to have to replace the PCV system, and realize these don't have that little PCV Valve that takes 5 minutes to replace and costs $20. Oh no! These are MUCH worse! The Volvo's use an oil trap system that is a more complex design. It allows the engine to run cleaner, but at the cost of having to replace the system regularly. I think most people suggest about every 100,000 miles or so. My Volvo has 176,000 miles on it and was just barely starting show signs it needed replacing. So, on a cold, winter day when I couldn't do anything else, I put the heater in the garage and got busy replacing my PCV system with one I got from IPD Volvo. Since the throttle body was easily accessible during this, I also took the time to clean that. I also went a step farther and replaced my fuel injectors. Those are super cheap these days so, since I had to remove the fuel rail, it was a good time. I use remanufactured ones from a good source and the car runs noticeably smoother.
    This install is NOT for someone who isn't very well acquainted with working on the engine of a car. It is a very time consuming process, with lots of "gotcha's" and fiddly bits along the way that require you to be patient, stay calm, and think your way thru the problem. You will be working bent over a lot of the time, in tight spaces too. If you have no problems with that, then you can save a ton of money doing it yourself. My garage wanted roughly $1,300 to replace the PCV system. Even with the extra bits, lube, fuel injectors, and an oil change afterwards, my cost was under $300. It took 8 hours, part of which was taking time to record video, but it's all done and ready for another 100,000+ miles now. I documented some of MY steps along the way. Come along and hopefully some of this can help you too.

    after a pain staking 14 hrs later I eventually finished my pcv system. man o man no amount of hearing "this is difficult" prepared me for how hard it was. once I got everything back together. My car ran like complete crap. I disconnected the battery for 10 min and then it ran fine after a reset. But when I went to drive it again the next time it was still acting weird. I got new coils and spark plugs OTW so hoping that clears it up. I won't be a fan of having to disconnect the battery every time lmao. I don't think this would of been possible without your video thank you!

    Floyd, thank you for making this video as it provides so many people with the procedure in replacing this system to the public. Your effort and time are appreciated. When you reconnected hoses to the air/oil separator box you connected the top two backwards. The one that goes through the intake mounts to the port furthest from the block, and other heater tube one mounts to the port closest to the block. With that said, I'm not sure of the internal baffle configuration within the air/oil separator, maybe it doesn't matter. But I am sure the compartments of those 2 inputs are different which makes me think it matters. Minute marker 25 vs 36.

      The hardest part is being patient enough to get that one bolt out of the intake manifold, and routing the new coolant line back in all the mess it's routed thru. FCP Euro shows a video on replacing this system without replacing the coolant line, just the little banjo bolt part under the intake and the small line attached to it. I chose to do the entire thing as a precaution because the cost was so small, especially with the kit I got that included that part.

The one holding in the manifold, I had a combination of wobble sockets, and wobble extensions to allow me to bend the extensions in to get to that bolt. Getting it guided onto the bolt was the hardest part of the whole process.

The PCV system on my 2001 S60 seems to be doing fine at the moment, glove is almost getting sucked into the engine (thank god for the little filter thingy underneath the oil filler cap) but once the time comes that it needs to be replaced I'll probably be doing it myself too. Your video will be of great help! Also, do you happen to know how to get the rubber part that is in between the wiper arm and cowl top grille seated properly? For some reason one of them came loose on my S60 and I can't seem to get it back in. It's almost like the cowl top grille deformed...

    • @FloydNashFixItDad

      This wasn't a "cheap" part. This was a kit from FCP Euro. Some of the pieces were aftermarket, and some in the kit are OEM, but the quality is outstanding. Everything is OEM or better. I've had no issues at all. With currently 200,000 miles, you'll never truly get rid of oil staining here or there, but it doesn't burn oil, or at least not to the point where any has to be added between oil changes. My daughter now drives this and fully expects to still be driving it at 300,000.

That PTC "Valve" isn't an actual valve, just a heating element that keeps condensation from freezing in that tube mostly. I've never heard of one going bad and haven't inspected it. Sometimes messing with these older parts will create more problems, so if it's not broken, I don't try to fix it.

      Before I started, I got a set of wobble extensions from Harbor Freight and had to link a couple of wobble extensions together to allow the bending needed to get to that bolt. Just at the end as it got near the bolt, since the setup was now flexible, I had to loop some twine around the end of the extension to pick it up and help guide it onto the bolt. It took quite a bit of time to get that thing lined up and on the bolt and I did everything I could at that point to keep it pushed onto the bolt head so it wouldn't pop off.

    Hi guys I have a question about the PCV on a 2006 Volvo S60 R. When I do the glove test it sucks in at idle but then blows out when I press the gas. Is it supposed to blow out when adding boost? It's causing my return line o-ring to fail even after replacing the line, o-ring, and gasket after already servicing the PCV. Is there something I missed?

    • @FloydNashFixItDad
      @FloydNashFixItDad  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If by blowing out you mean just a little bit, no pressure on the glove, then that's not so bad. It's an older car so probably will have a bit of blowby. If it's actively trying to inflate the glove and apply pressure to it, then you have a lot of blowby. The only way you can get gasses into the crank case is to have them get past the compression rings on the piston. Here is something you can do to test that possibility. Request an oil test kit from Blackstone labs. At about 3000 miles or so, change your oil. Capture a sample mid drain and send it in with a note that you're looking to see if you have excessive blowby. They will be able to tell based on the amount of gas in the oil, which will change the flash point, and will actually get back to you with their thoughts based on their experience. I think the only other possibility is that yes, you have blowby, but there is still a blockage somewhere in the PCV system, like where the box mounts to the block on the bottom, that isn't allowing the PCV system to vacate the gasses as quickly as they should.
      Anyway, those are my thoughts. Hopefully that helps.

      I think what you're going to notice based on things I've tried and seen others try is, as the air inside the motor cools, it contracts and pulls in air from outside and it will pull in thru that vent you create. What happens is you pull in moist air from outside, and the moisture in the air condenses inside. It may not be much, but over time, it adds up. Next thing you know, you have milky looking oil. PCV systems are designed the way they are for a reason, and if you try to bypass that, typically good things won't happen.

      @@FloydNashFixItDad Well thank you. That's a point I didn't considere. I have seen such modifications made on other cars who did not have that problem, but again their pcv systems wеre much simpler than the Volvo one.
      The reason I'm about to do it is that the pcv system on my s40 is clogged and the mechanics in my area do not acknowledge that kind of maintenance. They tried to rip me off with engine rebuild. I don't feel comfortable trying to replace the system myself due to lack of experience and fear of mistake. Even if I gather the courage to service it, pcv replacement kit is genuine pain to find in my country.

    So is it just me or does it not matter which nipple you put the main hose as well as top hose because on FCP PCV video the main line was on the back nipple essentially hugging the block, and the top hose was on the one on the outside.

      @sh8873e 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think he did it wrong. Mine was as you described. And I looked at another video which was the same. We are talking about the PCV system's black box ...and the hose that goes to the top of engine goes on the black box's top nipple which is closest to front of car.

      Many times I used duct tape to securely hold sockets to the end of extensions including inside the socket to hold bolts going back in. Totally helps.

    • @sh8873e
      @sh8873e 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, very important. The way I got the difficult 10mm exhaust manifold bolt loose was with a THIN, SMALL socket. NOT a bulky socket. Sockets are made differently. I also used 2 or 3 wobbly extensions. A crows foot socket/wrench did not work. The other very important thing was that that lower bolt only needs loosened A LITTLE and that is all you need...just a little.

    Can you do the entire job relying on 1/4" drive ratchet (in terms of the torques) involved)?

    • @FloydNashFixItDad
      @FloydNashFixItDad  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a rather odd question. It depends on the quality of the tool and how hard the old stuff was torqued down. I think the only thing you may have to worry about is the intake manifold bolts, and they really aren't that super tight. Might be possible, but honestly, a 3/8 set is not expensive.

    • @FloydNashFixItDad
      @FloydNashFixItDad  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. Yes, it's possible to upgrade the turbo, or even adjust the stock wastegate, but, when you do that, you're really going to have to know what you're doing, and you're going to have to find a shop that can tune it properly. The ECU won't understand what's happening and it can cause serious damage to the engine potentially. You may also have to upgrade other items such as fuel injectors and fuel pump if they can't keep up. If you want better performance, you may want to start with a nicer exhaust, and find that tune shop and have them change the tune on the car. Even with stock components, these cars are capable of a good bit more horsepower simply by changing the fuel, boost, and timing maps on the ECU. The stock tune is designed for reliable daily driving for a long, long time, so there is quite a bit of room to adjust that for more performance.

    • @FloydNashFixItDad
      @FloydNashFixItDad  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You may have to replace then entire PCV system. Go to ipdusa.com and search on 2006 volvo s40 PCV and you'll see it listed there. It also includes the oil filter housing. After replacing, do the "glove test" to see if it tries to inflate the glove or suck it in. If it still tries to inflate it, you have gasses getting into the crankcase from somewhere.
