Like everybody else I'm in awe of how relaxed you are and how clear your instructions are and all without daft thumping music in the background. Would be You Tubers take note! A little surprised that you didn't apply a light smear of grease on the seal first however very inspiring, thank you

David Smith, Thanks for your comment. The outer edge of the seal must be free of any oil or grease when pressing it into the housing, Note: the inner lip of the seal that makes contact with the crankshaft is part made of PTFE which is a low friction self lubricating material, although I had added a tiny smear of grease to the lip before fitting it.

A scholar and a gentleman. Was afraid to do this myself until I saw you do it in a button shirt and without a lift. Jolly good job.

Thank you so much for the video! gonna do the same on a v70 2008 2.0d, pretty much the same everything, but i wasnt sure if i had to losen up the subframe. Im used to work on older rwd cars so fwd cars is a bit "new" to me, but my slave cylinder gave up for a few weeks back and dont want to pay the local work shop 1800$ to do the same work.

I have just done this same job and can confirm that there is no need to remove sub-frame or touch the steering rack. There is ample room to drop the transmission down. My car has the 6 speed gearbox, not sure if there is a difference with removal procedure for the 5 speed.

Great videos, thank you john! One thing tho that will save you time and effort. Subframe doesn´t need to be removed at all, i did my service like that. In the end, my service was a bloody catastrophe! Brand new flywheel that i installed was broken from the box (LUK). Flywheel still keep rattling noise and vibrates the clutch pedal (alltho not that bad like it was before). And i´m really pissed about it. Now i have to order a new flywheel and do that all over again. My car is Volvo C70 2.0D 2009 model.

My Volvo V50 1.6l 2010 has got a smelly burning clutch which I notice when I exit the car and on ONE occasion was slipping in 5th, 4th and 3rd gear, since then no slips but still smells. Does this sound like it needs replacing? If so, do you know a rough price at an independent garage? Thanks.

MOHAMMED YAKOUBI, When removing the gearbox from the engine there is not enough room with the sub-frame in place, but if you remove the engine and gearbox as one unit then you don't need to remove the sub-frame because the engine will drop down in front of the sub-frame.

ratler man, to remove the four anti roll bar bolts, first remove the bolts holding the rear end of the sub frame, then slacken the two front sub frame bolts a few turns this allows the rear end of the sub frame to drop down a little way, you will now be able to reach above the back of sub frame to remove the four bolts. thanks for the comment.

John Thank you very much for the two videos. I've got some juddering when accelerating and have settled to essentially following your video. The part I miss I the final bleed of the clutch. When you have done the slave cylinder do you need to do more when it's back together?

@johnbower

3 жыл бұрын

Steven Jones, thank you for the comment, yes it is best to further bleed the clutch hydraulic line when you have everything back together, the bleed nipple for this is close to the point where the line enters the bell housing ( the nipple is made of plastic and points forward towards the radiator) It is a bit tricky bleeding this using the two man method, when the clutch pedal is pressed with the bleed nipple open the pedal does not return to the upward position, it has to be lifted back up by hand. When I did mine I used a pressure system that connects to the hydraulic fluid reservoir, then all you need to do is carefully open the bleed nipple, any air in the system is pushed out followed by hydraulic fluid, Note: as the reservoir is shared with the braking system I took the opportunity to flush out all old fluid with new, both the clutch system and brake system using this pressure method.

Can you change the dule mass for a single mass flywheel kit and with on would be better

@johnbower

Paul Nolan, Yes you can replace the dual mass with a single solid flywheel (Euro Car Parts can supply these). The good thing about using a dual mass flywheel it absorbs engine pulses from the transmission :) bad thing about dual mass flywheel they fall to pieces :(

Hello John, I want to change my DPF on this car but I thought I could approach it from the rear but couldn't find the DPF. Do you know where it's located and does this mean that I need a kind of bridge/evaluation to reach it? Thank you in advance!

@johnbower

Hi JB, Knowing now what problems the Diesel Particulate Filter can cause I feel very fortunate that my 06reg Volvo V50 2.0d does not have a DPF fitted, but later models do have them fitted, it is installed in the forward section of the exhaust system so as to gain as much heat as possible from the engine to help with self cleaning.

Did the car have starting problems? My V50 2.0D cranks, shakes and makes a rattling noise, and shuts off. after 3-4 tries it starts up. no problems while the engine is running. I had the Starter, glow plugs and fuel filter replaced - still same

Viljar Niit, I have had starting problems with my Volvo v50, on one occasion it was the air shut off flap in the intake manifold sticking in the closed position, but it's a sticking EGR valve that has caused most starting problems. The rattling noise could very well be a flywheel problem but that will not cause a starting problem.

@@johnbower already tested that the Shut-off flap works (it only closes for a few sec when I turn the car off) My EGR has been disabled from ECU. Also tried to test the throttle body.. It looks good with a multimeter, but weird that the car does not care if the wire is connected or not. Both - starting and when already running.

Yes the anti roll bar has to be separated from the subframe, but to do this the back of the subframe has to be lowered slightly first to get access to the bolts holding the anti roll bar to it.

Hi, How high did you had to jack up your car, and how did you manage to put those jack stands in the correct "Jack-up points"? I'm about to fix a core plug in my s60 d5.....

@johnbower

2 жыл бұрын

Piotr Steplowski, To lift my Volvo v50 onto 4 jack stands, I first lifted each corner of the car up using a trolley jack under each of the four sill jacking points and placed a block under each of the wheels, this extra height then enables a trolley jack to fit underneath the front and back of the car, I then pushed the trolley jack under the front of the car lifting it up under the front subframe and placed two jack stands under both front sill jacking points, then did the same to lift the back of the car, I used this procedure front then back a little at a time until the car was high enough. Before putting the jack under front subframe the plastic tray under the engine had to be removed, I also used a short length of box section fitted to the jack to span across under the front subframe to give better support when lifting. Note: To make jacking vehicles up easier I have now designed some jacking frames, Check out my video on youtube, (Building the ultimate car jack for home mechanics)
