excellent Dave, I have one of these in Belfast how would I get in touch with you? I would really appreciate it.

Dave, short story long, bought a v70, same engine, same issues, you helped me alot! big hug

Excellent video Dave. I'm an aspiring diyer looking to remedy an oil leak by the swirl flap arm. Having never done anything like this before, I've been looking for info on removing the injectors and intake manifold. This video is just the ticket, though I'm admittedly scared of what I'll find. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Super insightful. Your view count will be jumping up as I watch this again and again.

Great videos Dave. The attention to detail in your work is nice to see this day and age.

Just found your channel, great video of Volvo XC90 service and repairs. Own owner of XC90 and looking to do some repairs, so appreciated your content!

Could watch this kinda stuff all night, thanks Dave.

Nice job .. Great video

Yer the man, excellent 👍

I would have been swearing like a trooper half way through that job. Looked like one thing after another. Good vid to warn me away from Volvos. Nice work Dave.

To remove injectors way easier first heat the engine up (till coolant reaches 90 C), then start disassembling. Will save a lot of swearing and time.

Volvo made it as awkward as possible great video.

Thanks for doing this video. I’ve a Euro4 D5 engine. There’s a slight leak at the rocker cover swirl rod end. The swirl linkage is missing, the arm that the linkage attaches to is also missing from the motor. Getting an air quality fault. Engine service orange triangle. I pushed the swirl arm down to open the vents. Been driving ok. Took off the centre hose today and found it caked in black tary soot. Not sure the best way to proceed. Plan to clean it all out, but where to go with the swirl situation? New motor and swirl kit as well? Thanks again for this video.

Great job 👌 your big slide hammer soon removed the tight injectors. Cheers mate

Next on my list of things to check are these swirl flaps and hopefull that will be my fault to my Volvo that I've been trying to fix for the last 2 years.

Hi Thanks for the video someday I'll do the same. Do you remember the diameter of the holes? Because I want to clean as you did with a brush.

Salut, super boulot. Mais avez-vous remplacé les brides et les vis des injecteurs par des neuves ? Car visiblement il faut les remplacer par des neuves à chaque dépose/repose des injecteurs. Merci. Rémi

Hi Dave .. I need to clean all the soot and carbon my XC90 like you have done on this video .. is it OK to clean inside the intake and exhaust valves on the head? If yes how?

Super video! I am getting myself ready for this excact job and this video is great help! What was your method of cleaning the cox/soot from the intake and EGR valve? Best regards Lars

Do you want do another one of these? Not in limp mode but I’ve a small leak in the same spot.

Hi mike, good one that with the transit. I've heard that with the level sensors. I drove this volvo on an extended drive as the dpf will be sooted with the poor airflow.

That very informative wish I lived near you so you could fix mine no one around here has clue. Don’t think it’s swirl flaps as don’t have that noise . Car runs fine first ten ks then goes into limp with no boost. Very frustrating have already spend $1700 and still the same. Going to try cleaning the particulate filter.

Same here, changed flaps and still limping

Common problem in XC90 D5 is a broken ECU and injector plug cause misfire then go to limp mode.

So root cause was the boost leak at the swirl flaps and just a horribly dirty intake. I wonder if the EGR valve wasn't shutting properly. Swirl flaps leaking boost and an intake gummed up with soot from the EGR... classic D5 problems 😅Although this one was the dirtiest ive ever seen!

Hi Dave, great vid. I changed the swirl flaps last year...soon after I noticed what seems to be the common D5 popping sound from the oil cap. I read that it is a vacuum issue (vac pump, mounts etc), but could this be caused by the gasket not seating correctly around the inlets? The car runs fine with good fuel economy.

@davesterl

3 жыл бұрын

Vacuum leak or pcv blocked

Is there no alteration , as to make it impossible to happen again? I have one of these in limp mode, and no one can fix it, even the so called experts, all they want to do is replace everything until they find the issue, that's stupid though.

As the plastic ball on the swirl lap wears, the link falls off! There is a kit available which involves removing the ball and drilling an M3 hole to fit a new metal ball joint with link. Expensive and tricky to fit but is so much better than OE. The link comes from an RC model car, I think. There is a video too

Hi Dave, didn't you have trouble starting the motor after you had the diesel lines taken off and the injectors removed? It must have gotten quite some air in the diesel lines. I did the same like you, but after I did put it all together, the motor doesn't start anymore. They talking about priming the fuel lines.
