POORLY DESIGNED Volvo S60 PCV System *COMPLETELY Clogged With CARBON*
There is a lot that needs fixed on the $450 2001 Volvo S60 2.4t. The root of the cam seal issue is a completely clogged PCV system which builds crankcase pressure until something else gives out. On these Volvos the something else is the cam seals, so before we replace those we're going to fix the PCV system. That involves removing the intake, removing the PCV canister, then removing the carbon build up from the engine itself.

Most common cause of oil leaks and trouble with Volvo's is clogged PCV systems, Dealer or good (And I stress GOOD) Indie workshops will change the box and flame traps out regularly. DIY owners not so much because on all Volvo's from the mid 80's 700 series they are buried under the intake and hard to get to. people also shortcut and dont replace the O rings between the block and box and this creates leaks too which can be hard to diagnose. Then they suffer Cam seals popping or worse Crank seals even though this is extreme neglect as the oil caps will weep for ages well before it pops a seal. I do the workshop glove over the oil filler test checking for high + crankcase pressure but in all honestly theres so many variables from bad oil quality to late oil and filter changes that you are just best off replacing the lot so you have a known quantity and this applies to both the older Red block engines and the later modular white block engines in 4, 5 and 6 cylinder. As a rule I just order a few kits from FCP Euro so i have them on hand and as they ship fast and reasonable rates even to Australia.

@@radnybolt5327 I wasn't sure if they were different, I know some guys with turbos say to remove the intake. On my cousin's '91 240 it wasn't necessary. I used to have an '88 740 turbo, currently have a '93 NA 940. I love red blocks, but white blocks are awesome too... I've certainly had more of them! My current daily is a manual swapped 2000 V70R.
The PCV on the turbo is quite a job at some points - banjo bolt, left intake bolts. Also take an appointment for a lower back massage when finished. A wobble 3/8" drive adapter is quite a must and I would have removed the rad fan first. It's a perfect time to replace the thermostat housing too and test the evap canister purge valve
I remember the good old days when the PCV valve was right on top of the engine, right through the valve cover. Took almost 10 seconds to replace.

Most NA cars still ARE like that. Welcome to turbo land! They got to move MORE fresh air, when under boost with these fancy ventilation systems
I love your videos. So nice to watch. Yes, the pcv system on the turbo engines are hard to work on. On the 2.4 non turbos they are easier within reach and cost less time to replace them. These 5 cilinder Volvo engines are really bullit proof if you maintain them right. Proof, look at the valves on this particular engine. Here in Holland I have seen some of these engines reach more than 800.000 km's without serious issues. Totally impossible with newer direct injection and turbo engines. VW's modern engines I have seen them break after only 40.000 km's. Audi TFSI engines need a complete overhaul after 100.000 km's which costs thousands of dollars. Volvo makes really strong cars and compared to modern cars are still relatively easy to work on. Keep on going making these great videos!

Owned a V70R for a few years and the engine architecture is almost Identical to the 2.4L, with Volvos it's more or less about how well it was taken care of before you got the car and it looks like you picked up one that wasn't well taken care of at all. My V70R had over 40 service records and papers of each service since it was new in 04, over the three years I owned the car it only had two things go bad on me. One was an ABS sensor in the left front caliper and the other was the catalytic converter because of the bad winter mixes we get here in Michigan, I put nearly 9000 miles on that car and it never even hiccuped once after all was fixed. Don't blame the car man blame the previous owner for not taking proper care of it. Sidenote: I actually made money on my V70R, purchased for $7500 in 2015 and sold for $9800 in 2018.
This is perhaps the biggest reason why I'm really happy with my normally-aspirated 270K 2001 S60; The PCV system in these NAs is much more straight forward, and my previous PCV system lasted 197,123 miles, and 15 years!! And it would've lasted even longer, if I didn't replace it because there was actually nothing wrong with it! This is also why keeping up with oil changes is extremely important!

I went through torturous process removing the intake manafold, clamps, connectors, etc. When I finally got to the Pcv system I noticed it wasn’t really that dirty or clogged so I just cleaned it a little and left it alone, but I did discover a huge vacuum leak coming from one of the plastic lines inside the foam insulation sleeve that runs underneath the intake manifold.

Great job and I enjoyed the video. But there is 1 critical step ya missed. You must clean the PTC nipple! It's located at the bottom of the intake tube coming from the air box. Don't remove it from the pipe or you will never be able to get it back into the pipe. You would have to buy a new pipe that includes a new PTC nipple. It's~ 110$ from FCP my go to Volvo parts supplier. And you didn't mention the superceded Banjo bolt. It was redesigned so the check ball in it cant come out and get sucked into the turbo. Sorry about being picky but I think it's important.

Gettin some serious progress done! As you may or may not know, lots of these problems you´re fixing right now, is because the poor quality of engine oil in the us. Lots of engine problems in the us (with imports) is related to the much tighter gaps in the engineparts, that is possible thru better oil in europe. That is the reason why we can have engine that runs twice the milage that is normal for the us. Also we get to pay 3-4 times more money for an oilchange.. Keep up the good work, this is really good tutorial for people who do want to DIY their volvos.

I drive a volvo s70 turbo it has the same problem. Im too cheap and lazy to fix it so i bypassed it. Still runs good no smoke or oil leaks. I believe this happens due to the previous owner not changing the engine oil frequently enough. CHANGE YOUR OIL!
Funny about that oil cap. Not to name the only Volvo dealership in Wichita. They couldn’t find the oil leak and burning oil smell on a Volvo. When I got it I did my own oil changes and found oil always on top of the motor. I spent $5 on the gas cap. Fixed it. Previous owner spent hundreds at the dealership in diagnostic fees and they never found the problem.

Ah, the dreaded banjo bolt. The phantom that haunts the 5cyl mechanic. It took me 2.5 hours and 2 trips to the shops to remove it. Just a tip, Volvo designs its cars with the car on lifts during servicing. Meaning, it's easier to remove from the bottom. For the XC90, you can remove the PCV system without removing the intake man. Just remove the rad fan to get more space. Yes, the PCV is poorly designed. I was told that it was added later on (for emission reasons) and was not implemented properly. Mine was blocked all the way to the sump so I had to remove the oil sump as well to unblock it. It is said to be replaced every 100k kms but is not included in the service schedule. I've seen other bypass it and retrofit an oil trap on the side of the engine bay.
If the cam seals still leak after replacement, remove the VVTI mechanism on the cam and strip it. There is an o-ring inside that goes hard and is not always replaced when people change the cam seals.
Great vid and info! $450 is a bargain if you know how to fix it! Blame the owners, not always the car maker. There's lots to like about Volvos, like they don't rust. People beat up on them and expect them to last...S60 turbos are not easy to work on.
Volvos are fantastic cars (minus the side mounted timing belts) and are incredibly excellent at running well and with great gas mileage (outside of the enormous carbon buildup) and have a great ride with smooth highway driving (outside of the vacuum cruise behind the brake pedal failing often) and yes, I'd totally buy another.

I did that same job on my V70.. why didnt you do the coolant lines of the PCV and the part at the fresh air snorkel right by the Turbo? On mine those were about to go (cracked) and the connector part in the thermostat housing was corroded shut and caused some air bleed problems in the colling system. I would've recommended doing those too, because if you have it apart that far - it would suck to do it again in the next 30000 miles.

The Dilithium thrusters need to be cleaned and the photon torpedos serviced before you you enter warp drive, contact the mothership for more details... Live long and prosper.

Great project. Volvo s60 is a great car. Keep the vids coming.
Your videos are fun and useful. On the PCV job and any subsequent jobs, it would have saved you a lot of time to remove the whole front end. It is modular and it opens a lot of room to work cleanly and much faster. You just need to drain the coolant. That volvo will be good to go for a long time.

I bought a Volvo 2012 s 60 t5 with engine knock and never lost belt any ideas
I heard they were hard to work on now I believe that no wonder the resell value is so bad I would not want one Thanks for sharing
When is the boat coming back? Super interested to see it finished and on the water.

What's the fix for the carbon? Honda .
BTW, do the coil packs please...... When she is done you wont believe the added power BTW, even on NA cars it makes them breathe so well its noticeable.

Worth noting here that Although my Daily drivers are Volvo's my hobby is Old Merc's, W116 and 107's from the 70's and much as I love them the Volvos rule as high mile dailies.
My son wants me to go look at a used s60 this Saturday. I'm not convinced this is a good first car.

I would not rec S60 as a first car, should be an older Toyota.

for one thing they're not that easy to work on, yet expensive to have a mech work on it (if he's remotely competent).
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?
Loving these Volvo vids!
It's not the Boost Bazooka, it's the Boostzooka
I've done this jobs MANY times on many Volvos... it never gets any more fun! That banjo bolt on the intake is a giant pain... I usually just remove the alternator to get to it a little easier. Removing it is easy, reinstalling it is the problem... it never aligns easily! With the timing belt job, make sure you set up the VVT correctly. There's a great video on here on how to properly set it up. Fortunately on that car you have single exhaust VVT like in this video, so that makes it a little easier. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWiprtiBYZiXXcY.html

Does anyone know for what is this coolant tube coming from the thermostat casing for ? Is there water going through the intake ?
Was there no power steering fluid issues when you removed the power steering tube? If there is when the system is filled with power steering fluid, what needs to be done to best manage the situation?
great video...just what I needed !!! ick...what a pain in the ass
Thanks for showing me how impossible this job is, i have all the parts but that swivel wrench twisting a bolt you cannot see finished any further thought on me fixing it.

Same situation here. I have all the parts in a box and may pay the Volvo shop $400 to do it.
Your my favorite KZreadr, even my son enjoys your videos. I bought a lottery ticket in hopes to win lots of money, lost $12 dollars then went to the casino lost $40 more so I tried to win money for Ambergini car fund, ended up in the hole, tomorrow a new day!
