Robert - You're the man!! I used your video to replace the PCV on my 1995 850 N/A and everything came together and it all worked! I've never attempted this major of a repair on my own and I was nervous that I'd get into the weeds and get stuck and have to throw in the towel for professional help. Although your video has differences between the turbo models and the N/A models the method is generally the same. While I've read on here that people can knock this job out in 2 or 3 hours, it took me all weekend. It was amazing how much carbon build up was in the PCV line and how clogged the EGR was. I cleaned it all as you instructed. My advice to those that are attempting to do this job is to take your time, label every vacuum hose (I did it with a label maker) and take pictures that you can use as a references when putting everything back together. To me, this was NOT a fun job and it sucked trying to get the two upside down bracket manifold bolts off and then put back on but your video saved me a ton of $$$ in my wallet (Volvo of Dallas wanted around $1000 to do the job)!! Once I put everything back together I drove the car around my neighborhood and it was idling a little rough but on further inspection I noticed that the hose to the top right of the manifold had come off when I was putting the vacuum tree back on and it was an easy fix. Once reconnected it now runs great and no longer do I have breathe in poisonous/noxious gasses when I'm sitting at a stop light. Thank you Robert! You saved me a ton!

Hello Robert, I just want to sincerely thank you for making the effort to share these videos and your knowledge with us. I have used them to help decide if I even wanted to buy a Volvo, after having owned both an early 80s 240 and a 95 960. I did decide to buy an 06 XC70, and will probably be referring to your videos quite frequently. Again, thanks!!

Hey, Robert here I am again on a new project. History on this car: I have a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo with 153,000 actual miles. I have put about $9k plus in this car since 2006 when it had 38,000 on it. I do most of the work on my car to save money. I will let a mechanic see it if I can't fix it. I finally decided to do the PCV kit by myself yeah, it took me 2 days because I kept dropping screws and gaskets where I had to unscrew everything looking for screws. I also stripped 4 6mm flat torx screws for the spark plug cover. Never thought I would strip them having to borrow a neighbor stripped screw fixer. Get a telescoping magnet to capture dropped screws and tools! Now that I'm finished I having acceleration on startup. It doesn't settle down to normal idle. It just keeps revving up so I have to shut it off. This didn't happen to be'for the PCV kit. I didn't see much on the throttle assembly. What could be wrong? Can you help me so I can have a working car? Does the wire go over or under the throttle wheel? I went under. Is there a video or a link I can go to on assembly of the throttle housing?

Hi Robert, although this is an old video, don't underestimate the value of it. I had no idea that this system needed cleaning and for the past few years has suffered oil on top of the spark plugs. I just put it down to age of the car being a 1994 and just about on 300,000 miles. Then I caught a forum post about "oil under the spark plug cover" and did a bit more research. Your videos covering so many versions is very valuable and i'm just in the middle of this job. My car also has the VVIS on the inlet manifold and I had no idea that mine was a) seized and b) vacuum disconnected. I had put down the loss of power for the past few years as "old age". Had I not been doing the PCV, I would never have encountered the VVIS on the manifold! This is the first time the PCV has been changed on the car, fortunately, I know that the rear main crank seal is ok, a local Volvo specialist recently fitted a new clutch and I asked about that seal. They said they preferred to leave alone at this age as from their experience, that's the better option. After this job, it's straight onto the cambelt, done that before though. I'm right there with you though, the value of the old Volvo's isn't in the financial value but the service they deliver. Ours is worth nothing but has been with us for 21 years, taken both children home from being born (they are now teenagers and one driving himself), transported our dogs (now long departed). The Volvo is a cherished family member and long may it continue. 300,000 miles? Here's to the next 100,000. Thanks for the videos, your Volvo videos are *the* goto videos here.

Thanks for sharing and watching.

Glove was blowing up on my 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo, so I decided to make this maintenance repair, despite the feeling it was beyond my skills. It WAS beyond my skills, BUT how do you gain experience and skills? I read that the repair should take upwards of 8 hours if you don't know what you are doing. I took me at least 30 hours over 5 days and a GREAT DEAL of frustration. Used this video and FCP Euro's as my guides. Snapped pics of everything as I went along. Everything was going VERY smoothly until I went to simply lift off the intake manifold as documented in the videos. It would not move. It was connected to a metal pipe, which I would find out was connected to the EGR valve. Well, I lubed the nut and finally got it off, but I COULD NOT GET THAT EGR PIPE CONNECTED AGAIN TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. The first (2) times I completed this project, I got the manifold started (bolted with a few bolts) and then connected the pipe and then finished bolting down the intake manifold. DID NOT WORK. Manifold was not flush - had massive vacuum leak. Car stalled out immediately. Eventually, on my third try, I set the manifold flush and bolted it down. But I still had the task of connecting the EGR valve. I tried torching that pipe, bending it with locking pliers....nothing. (It MAY have eventually succumbed to the torching, but I didn't spend a whole lot of time trying.) Finally I decided to remove the EGR from the manifold, screw it to the metal pipe, and then install the EGR back on the manifold. That took probably 2 hours, and it was a bear, but I finally got it connected. I shudder to even think about the entire process. ANOTHER aspect of this repair that is glossed over in the videos is the removal of the fuel rail. YOU HAVE TO BE SOOOOOO CAREFUL REMOVING THAT FUEL RAIL OR YOU WILL LOSE THE FUEL INJECTOR SEALS (LOWER) AND/OR THE FUEL INJECTOR SPACERS (UPPER). You will not be able to find these anywhere but online, special order, or the junk yard and they are pretty expensive. I suggest carefully loosening each injector at the bottom so you pull them out attached to the fuel rail. If the little seals fall in the engine, THEY ARE GONE - DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR THEM, and your injectors will leak and your car will idle rough or not start. You may want to try and slide a tray under the rail as you remove the injector rail. To be fair to Robert, he knows how careful you have to be in removing the fuel rail, and that it is something you want to avoid at all costs....unfortunately I don't think it is stressed strongly enough in his video. Finally, do not think someone in the Volvo DIY forum will hold your hand and guide you through the process. While any help is certainly appreciated, the response times are often very slow. Depending on how many questions you ask, you will very likely hear that you have done irreparable damage to your vehicle and that it will cost thousands of dollars to repair. This will stress you out even more than you already are. If you are a newbie, you might want to count the cost of making this repair by yourself, especially if you have an EGR valve. But if you want to gain some experience and get to know your vehicle a little better, go ahead and make the repair. Depending on your skill level it may take you far longer than 8 hours and you will need a spare vehicle to run to parts stores and the like. Make sure to have a long magnet to help you retrieve the loose bolts and sockets that WILL fall into the engine. Upon finally finishing the project, the glove is limp. I am very thankful to Robert for this thorough instructional video. I couldn't have made the repair without it. Plus he has videos on just about anything Volvo under the sun if you need.

I have done this operation on several cars. The latest being a 98 S70 with 265k. I bought this car about a month ago.It was apparent that someone before me did a hack job on this - the hoses were not the 'right' ones, and the small vacuum line from the PTC to the intake manifold was weak and seriously kinked in several places. The last guy also put in some wrong elbows as you found in your video.When I was done, I cut open the oil trap / breather box. While it was a mess inside, it wasn't blocked in any significant way. The hose from the valve cover to the breather was OK. The other lines, other than being a hack job, weren't blocked. The PTC (the end of the lines in the intake to the turbo) was completely blocked. There's a small vacuum line here, and a much fatter line. I yanked out the PTC and soaked it in carb cleaner repeatedly to get it cleared up.It's all good, now that I replaced all the lines and cleaned the PTC, but without cleaning the PTC this would have been all for nothing. If this had had the correct hoses, I think that maybe the breather box and line replacement would have been mostly a waste of time. Maybe just pulling the hoses at the PTC and cleaning the PTC would have been sufficient...

I've done first the heater core replacement and now the whole PCV stuff thanks to your videos on my 97 v70. One thing I can add to this video - if you find the thin PCV hose (which get's hard and breakes) to be a little bit expensive - try to pick a flexible hose of similar internal diameter. I've picked one which is a petrol hose and used a heat-resistant tape to on it to prevent it from breaking apart if I would change the PCV can once again in future.

Where did you get your kit for the 97

The PCV valve should be changed, in general, in all cars, to 30000/50000 km. It is important to change that piece because they become clogged or damaged. If it does not work well, the oil gases tend to run out of the engine seals. In the Volvos, they should be changed between 80000 and 150000 km, depending on the case. I already changed that piece in two Volvos. In the first one, an S40 T5 was changed to 120000. In my current one, a Volvo S60 T6, I changed it to 80000 km. It is relatively easy to change it in the Volvo S60 T6, especially because of its location (above the engine). Although there are some screws that take a lot of work out and then screw them. I recommend changing that part so that the engine stays clean and in good condition.

Robert, I can't find the other video where I asked this question so I am going to ask again here. I did the PCV replacement on my 1998 v70 T5. Used the ipd kit. I got everything apart and back together ok. I did need to drain my coolant because I had to pull the hose off the top of the thermostat to get to one of the manifold bolts. When I went to crank the car up after getting done I got a really bad turnover sound and then the car would't start. I tried to pump the fuel system by turning off and tuning on several times without cracking. Didn't start on the second try and I took a peek under the hood. I found fuel on the top of the block. I checked for leaks (didn't see any), tightened the fuel line going into the fuel rail (I remembered that I loosed it slightly earlier in the job and forgot to retighten it) and tried again. Same thing except this time no fuel on the block. I did not change the oil when I was done with the PCV replacement. My ports were clean and when I got done it looked like it didn't need to do the PCV system (expect for the fact that it had never been done and the little hose that connects into the manifold was broke). Also I didn't use a torque wrong on the manifold. I didn't have one, but I was careful not to over tighten the bolts and I put them on in a criss cross type pattern. Any ideas on why I got fuel on my block and no start? I did take the file rail off as a part of the job and I did install new fuel injector rings. thanks Charles

Cool, so you have EGR and this video will show you all the in's and out's about it. I really prefer people purchase the kits. Then they can add the intake and EGR gaskets. Ordering all the parts separate usually ends in a mess.

I dont have my pcv system placed at that location anymore on my t5 v70. I have it install next to the filterbox with special mods looks now 100% stock like it was from factory. I can easly clean or replace it with just 2x 10mm and some hose clamps.

Once again, thanks for being so helpful, the world needs more people like you. I paid a shop specializing in European cars, with a good reputation, to replace the PCV system, and recently noticed that the glove still inflates when I put it over the filler cap, and still see smoke coming out the dipstick. The mechanic who did the PCV job said it was likely "blow by" and I'm kinda clueless so I was wondering your opinion. Do you think Seafoam or Marvel Mystery Oil or something similar before an oil change might help get the "funk" out of this engine with 165000 miles on it, or is that likely to cause more issues? The car doesn't lose much oil, maybe half a quart per 1,000 miles, but I really dont want to blow out the seals with the current positive crankcase pressure.....

@RobertDIY

+Louis PüŠtank "Blowby" is combustion air getting past the piston rings. What that means is that the engine is worn or has some kind of damage to a piston ring or wall. That can usually be detected by a compression test. That is one of the reasons I recommend people do a compression test prior to doing this service. So, do a compression test, and if it is good, there is a chance that the service was NOT done correctly.

With this and other pvc system repairs, my 15 year old son replaced his pcv system on his 99-s70-t5-5sp 95% on his own.

I need answer to the question what will happen if I cut the hose coming from the head, close the part going to the separator and vent the part coming from the head to the atmosphere by extending it and putting filter at the end of it? I'm about to do it and I can't find any information on someone else who's done it. The reason is that 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 do it myself due to lack of experience and fear of mistake.

I need to know what this vacuum is called beause I dont't see a hose that attaches to this hard plastic tube that goes to the front of EGR and under the side of the radiator fan (attached to side of fan). A round rubber holder holds the vacuum there, There is a nipple on the other side and it does suck air when running. Does that hard plastic hose connect on that nipple? I may have lost the rubber connector to that nipple and hard plastic vacuum tube. What size rubber connector is that to connect them two together. I have looked online for good vacuum hoses pictures for my car. Thank you

Edward Segujja The most common problem with the low oil pressure warning is the oil pick up tube being clogged or having a broken/cracked/missing seal where it (the seal) is installed. Whoever rebuilt the motor should fix it. They will have to drop the oil pan and either clean the pick up or replace the seals on it.

Also if i dont take apart the intake manifold how long could this process take. I want to give this an attempt. I know a little something and this is my project

Hi Robert. Awesome video like the other ones too. I have one question though. I recently bought a 850 Turbo and it has a clogged PCV system that needs replacing. The first thing i did when I bought the car was changing the oil as the car stood for two years. The thing that i'm interested into is, is it mandatory to change the oil as the oil is pretty new (It has about 1000 km on it) and if it is can it be done some time after the PCV replacement, because i would need to take the car to someone who has ramps or either a big lift. Thanks in advance

@RobertDIY

The reason the oil should be changed is... if the ports on the block are clogged, and you clear them by jamming the sludge down into the oil pan, you would be better off changing the oil vs allowing that sludge to be captured by the oil pick up tube and possibly clogging it. You can probably drain the oil and add it back after straining it.
