Cripes watch out folks. If the vacuum pulls this inside it quickly wraps onto everything internally and makes a bigger mess! Just wait until you hear a squeal, the cap or dipstick becomes difficult to remove then the squeal goes away when you do lift them, followed by a woosh sound

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. Also recently serviced the PCV. Help!

My 07 Camry inflated the glove when I ran this test. What do I do?

[@spirosk7984]

Just did the test after replacing the whole pcv assembly on my XC60 T6 2012 and it sucks the glove's "palm" right in...no more whistle also....however since I replaced it (with genuine Volvo part) the car has a rough idle sometimes (instead of 600 rpm it looks like its trying to balance at around 500 to 550)...i changed also all 6 coils and plugs with Mahle oem parts at the same time. Scanned the car for faults through its Obd and it shows that there is a fault with its exhaust valve..(????) Any tips on that will be highly appreciated...Trying to figure out where is this exhaust valve located and if it really is the source of the problem...The car drives perfectly fine, it hesitates a bit when cold and the gearbox is going through 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd gear at low rpms (less than 1.500). Other than that it drives like new.

[@BobKontak]

Hi Spiro, Always post the OBD trouble code number when you know it even if you don't know what it means. I am almost certain your code is OBD-II Code P0027 - Exhaust Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Range/Performance because that's one of the codes I have and I have a clogged PCV system. It's not an exhaust valve. It's a variable valve timing solenoid on the exhaust camshaft. Do not replace it before clearing all of the OBD codes and see if it resurfaces. I also feel you have a vacuum leak that may have been a result of something you may have done (or not done) when you replaced the PCV assembly.

Hello, 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 replace the pcv system myself due to lack of experience and fear of mistake.

[@PistonShack]

Hi Peter! Good point. What I will do if my crank pressure gets too high and no time to service it right away. I would just pull oil dipstick out a bit of the tube to let crank pressure vent out. It will take care of crank case pressure temporarily. As old school farm fix on old trucks and tractors just run crank case tube out but on Volvo it will be complicated. I will make a video later how to service Volvo PCV system.

[@peterg.3181]

@@PistonShack well the dipstick trick works but every time I drive when raining white gunk appears on the dipstick.

[@tylermorgan1660]

What would cause this to fail prematurely? I'm at 240k KMS and mine works great. I assume irregular oil changes?

[@williamburch6082]

It means crank shaft pressure build up and gases cannot enter intake manifold to reburn. On Volvo oil trap canister and lines probably got clog up.

@@PistonShack I thought I'd update you on the problem, My PCV was bad and I replaced it, The PCV was 220,000 miles old but it wasn't clogged at all, I caught it at the early stage of failure, I'm sure the diaphragm was bad. I still had a knocking and squealing sound coming from the passenger side of the vehicle so I checked the pulleys and suspension and found the root cause of the noise. I did a timing belt and water pump replacement a couple thousand miles back and the 30MM crank shaft pulley nut came off at some point. The only thing holding the crank shaft pulley on were the 4 outer bolts. I got a new nut, Put thread locker on and made sure it was on tight and the problem went away.

Volvo Diesels, D4 and D5, don't have a PCV system .. they have an "oil separator" at the right side of the oil filter in connection with the crank case ventilation, were separated engine oil can flow back to the crank case. It's possible to take apart and clean but cleaning cases has shown that even after 200.000 km it's not even dirty. It is more important to keep a keen eye on the vacuum hoses in the engine bay .. fx. can a faulty engine mount (vacuum system) make some very funny noises from the oil filler .. like an old fishing boat. And the the EGR valve too to be kept clean.

No, oil filter is oil filter. I'm not sure where exactly oil separator located on D5. Follow engine ventilation pipes to locate the separator. We don't have Volvo Diesels in Canada.
