chek for blowby frm clogged PCV, here ..............blow out seals .............. www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=81582

[@Vikingdescendent]

The 2001 to '09 Volvos S60 still look great and are the best used car deals around and they won't rust unless there was body work done to them...my 2004 still looks brand new inside and out! Just find one that has been well maintained.

[@crownvicca]

I love my Volvos. Cheapest and most reliable cars I've owned. I bought my 2002 for $600 that needed some work and my 2001 for $350 as a a parts car with a blown turbo which turned winter beater which I sold 2 years later for profit. TCV is a typical thing to go on these but could also be vacuum hoses. Timing code is likely a stuck VVT solenoid. Gears don't really fail that often. If you are gonna do the timing belt be sure to change tensioner and water pump at the same time. I would also do the PCV since that's likely why the cam seals blew out.

[@lilriggs]

I just did the cam seal on this exact model for a friend, super easy. Mark the T-belt position on the gear and just work the belt off. The crank gear has a center bolt and will come off the cam. Old seal was almost completely out of its groove and just pulled off the end of the cam. Bought new seal at Napa and tapped it back onto the cam and bolted everything back up.

So how did you set up the vernier adjustment on the cam pulley? There is no keyway,You can only get it right with the Volvo special locking tools.

[@Sean_1491]

make sure to check the PCV, if the cam seal is leaking its because of the positive crankcase pressure built up in the engine

Bad PCV will always cause the weakest seal to break. Lucky its not the rear main seal.

@@christianbarrera3781 once its fixed though they go for many many miles

[@therealPDOT86]

Couple things- The PCV is a pain but 98% of the time any oil leaks for these are due to it being clogged up. Quickest test is to put a rubber glove over the oil fill hole- if it inflated farts take off the intake manifold and swap out the PCV and lines. Be careful with the battery- if it’s totally drained for long enough it will throw an SRS and air bag light that you need a high end tool or Vida/Dice to clear. (Buying a Knick off vida/dice is cheaper than having a dealer clear the code, haha. Plus you can do a full fault trace on every system, data logging, live graphs, etc) Related tip-If you are digging into the dash remove the battery first, if you disconnect the climate controls with the battery connected you get the same SRS/airbag light. The TCV likely wouldn’t throw a code, I would look for a brittle vacuum line. There’s one that goes to the upper right side of the intake manifold that usually gets knocked around a lot when you’re working, so check that line. Another big source of a vacuum leak is the big rubber hose from the over the engine pipe to the intercooler. The timing issue might just be the camshaft adjustment solenoid, same with the oil on the belt, worth replacing it before you go ahead and mess with the timing.

[@hajileserpud9539]

I recently noticed oil in my timing cover area, what does that mean ?... am I screwed, please help

[@OnShouldersOfGiants]

@@hajileserpud9539 Probably cam seals. The PCV is probably what caused it. Do the glove test on the oil filler cap. If it blows, it is clogged.

[@TheRedchris4]

I had a 2001 s40 that blew the intake cam seal. Turns out the pcv system was clogged causing it to blow the seal twice. Just a word of advice when doing the seals get the cam locking tool for it. It makes keeping the engine in time easy.

[@cbpldc]

It's possible that the belt has slipped a tooth due to all of the oil on it. I mean, its possible that its a VVT solenoid too, but its a good thing you're replacing the belt.

These are known to have clogged PCV systems. If they're clogged, it will blow the seals out. Chances are if its that bad, the timing belt will have to be done too. Otherwise, they are solid.

The VVT codes can be 3 things. 1. Sensor. 2. VVT adjuster 3. Oil leak which causes the adjuster to loose oil pressure and over advances until it reaches pressure again.

My guess is #3 - the VVT hub itself is leaking oil due to a bad seal. I just had mine replaced due to a leak in the timing belt area. Mechanic told me these can give way and a ton of oil will blow out. Mine was on the edge. He also advised against trying to replace the VVT seal - said they are known to fail again quickly.

All common problems with those. Replace the VVT hubs, cam seals and the oil trap. Do yourself a favor and get a quality set of Volvo cam lock/timing tools. It is also common for the o-rings in the oil pan to split, causing oil pressure problems to the VVT hubs.

for the turbo check the turbo inlet pipe, they usually crack near of the turbo. for the timing belt i don't think that is necesary. Timing belt should be replace every 110.000 miles. Still, Usually is not the belt that it breaks is the tensioner or the the water pump. Also, check the engine oil breather... when they clogged, build pressure and affects the seals!! Good luck WatchJRGO!!! I Love Volvos!!!

This car is going to need a lot of love. Engine seals. Suspension work. Additional engine work to resolve three engine codes.

JR, those VVT seals go because the PCV system is clogged. Easy test, take a rubber glove and a rubber band, remove the oil cap and cover the oil fill hole with the glove/rubber band. Turn the car on and if it inflates, it's a clogged PCV system. But since your seal is blown (happened to my S60R) then your PCV system is gone too. Super pain in the ass job when it comes to the banjo bolts that need to be installed. You've opened a can of worms buying a p2 s60 lol. Let me know if you have any questions, I've done more work to my S60R than I care to admit.

[@Joshtheweatherman]

This car has aged like fine wine. Still looks pretty sleek till this day. One of the best cars Volvo has ever made, and I recommend buying one of these used as you can get them dirt cheap. It's just as reliable as a Japanese car, and they're very comfortable.

[@andy530i]

Check the alternator pulley , it has a one way bearing in it .If this fails it can throw the aux belt, wrap it around the crank & take the timing belt out .

[@matthewfurtado1040]

Guaranteed, as a volvo master level technician, the breather box(PCV oil system) is clogged. It is probably very sludgy inside the engine and to truly fix the issue, which ultimately is causing the oil leakage, the entire breather box system, including hoses needs to be replaced. You need to make sure the oil galleys and passageways are free and clear, mainly the passageway connected directly to the breather box is clear of blockage. If its clogged, you would have to remove the oil pan to manually clear all blockages. Best of luck to you sir! Also, make sure to clean the throttle body when out as oil will also coat and cause issues here and you may as well when doing it as the inlet manifold needs to be removed.

[@matthewfurtado1040]

Should have added this in, easiest way to test the breather box is yo put a vacuum gauge on the dipstick port with engine running, a good breather system should show a good steady vacuum. A weak or fluttering on the low side indicates that the breather system is clogged.

I have a C70 2.5 T5 which I think uses an engine closely related to your 2.4 T. If you were keeping the car you should consider changing the serpentine belts (2) as they fail taking out the cam belt which leads to valve/piston contact. The engine remaps very well to 250-260 bhp.

[@Creating_Space]

have never heard of a serpentine belt causing internal engine damage. The timing belt is responsible for piston/cam/valve timing.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

@@Creating_Space You may not have geard of this but, when the serpentine fails on this engine, poor design means that they commonly get caught up in the cam belt, snapping it, hence the engine damage.

About the A/C, the compressor has a common fault where the clutch likes to disengage after heating up from being on for a while.

The VVT code is likely the solenoid. That solenoid is the old style, Volvo sells an updated solenoid with a new pigtail that needs to be spliced in. Very common failure on 2001 cars. Hit up TH Cars and Gaming for his solenoids! Also definitely do the PCV as well, that's likely why the cam seals blew out. Order the parts from FCP Euro... best place for Volvo parts!

[@heckraiserrr413]

I've read that for this car, you would want to change the timing belt every 70k miles I believe, even though Volvo themselves say 100k, because the timing belt area gets hot from the engine and causes the belt to deteriorate faster. I'm not positive on the 70k mile timing belt change but I know you should change it earlier than Volvo says

And the strut tops. 2nd hand cars must be much more expensive in the US. Have just bought a 2000 V70 T5 off my neighbour for £400 ( 490 usd ). Have just done my strut tops, needs a bonnet ( chronic lacquer peel - £40 for one in same colour nearby ), front brakes discs ( rotors?) and pads ought to be done and that's it to get it sorted. I'm keeping it as its useful and a hoot to drive, but I'd only see my money back if I sold it. There is zero profit in it.

Volvo had some great engineering on their "mid-size" engines. They were probably the #1 maker of five-cylinder engines, ever. Too bad that from now on all their designs are hampered by the Chinese home-market regulation of NO ENGINES OVER TWO LITERS.

That trim on the windshield is easy to replace

Not that it matters.... Why do you never say "to be"? Needs cleaned out. Needs TO BE cleaned out. I know, I know, grammar nazi.... just a pet peeve. Love the videos. Keep it up JR.

Is that car a turbo, if it is, one of the hoses could be lose ,meaning, the turbo itself which has to have oil to keep lubricated is losing the oil it needs, orit could be a clogged hose, I also would check the O2 sensor, and the CO2 sensor, or the catalist which sometimes might need changing, how many miles does it have, cause I would check to see if the valve cover needs a new gasket ,after all the car is 2001, so it*s 18 years old, usually they say to change it at either 20,000 or 30,000 check the scedule,as to the secondary fuel pump, I would check the fuses if the secondary pump ain*t working.

[@MFaisal-lv9dm]

Hey man, mind sharing apps u used to check the code? Can it check the fault in speed sensor? Thanks man
