How to service a Volvo V70/S60 D5 engine! D5 2.4D etc STEP BY STEP!

[@eugeniocollinassi.1548]

Hi! Thank you a lot for this video! With your step by step guide I was able to do my own service on a P2 S80 2.4 diesel!. This coming from a guy who was always told to stay away from tools (since I'm a graduate in history, how about stereotypes😅) Keep up with this content

[@Enginesetc]

Thanks for commenting, glad to hear this helped you. I suppose as with everything, once you know how to do it it seems easy!

[@eugeniocollinassi.1548]

Aye that's true! The ugliest bit for me was hands down the fuel filter, it was basically cemented there... don't know if the previous owner ever changed it!

[@Enginesetc]

@@eugeniocollinassi.1548 Yes, the fuel filter is the absolute worst part of this! I did the same on my old S60 and it took basically 3 hours to remove it which is embarassing! Glad to hear you got there though, determination always wins!

[@fredstraw]

had my 2004 volvo v70 D5 sport for over 6 years it's done over 180,000 miles and this reminds me to do a service not done one for 4 years.

Superb video! Swedish one's sound really angry when they are doing any jobs on a Volvo. Perfectly explained.

😂😂 thanks for the positive feedback!

Thanks for sharing the trick on how to reset the Service Message on the computer... it's first video I see where someone explains how to do it. I gave it a try on my V70 that was serviced 1 month ago but still showing this annoying message... and it worked fine !

[@Enginesetc]

Glad to hear it helped and thanks for commenting :)

Thanks for great quality how-to video! Last month I got XC70 year 2004 with the same simple 1st gen D5244T, love it how easy is to do regular service compared to my old Audi A6 C4.

[@Enginesetc]

Thank you for the kind words! Great choice of car and yes they're very easy to work on and will go forever!

[@oddarnestrand2047]

Hi, great making videos on these good old D5 (pre dpf, those have the black engine plast covers if you didnt know, the later ones with whirl flaps and dpf have the black and grey engine cover) The x's on the dipstick between low and full are actually how many Deciliter there are between low and max if you didnt already know. I love these old volvos, and now i'm buying my volvo nr 8( s80 nr.5) an 2004 D5 of course 😉👍 Keep up the good work 👍 Norway

[@muckle8]

Hi Arne is it a automatic?

[@oddarnestrand2047]

@@muckle8 No, this ond sas actually manual and it was sold last year (august) But i found another one again, this is an Exclusive and an automatic. It has only had 3owners and was an embassy car before i bought it. It has an overhauled engine from Volvo and is in god condition. Will be completed this spring i hope.

[@muckle8]

@oddarnestrand2047 I have a 04 s80 d5 SE auto in light gold colour here in Uk , my trusty old daily runabout. Also another s80 2.9 petrol in night fire red but spares only - don’t see too many on the roads in Uk now though 😞

[@ahmarchitecture7157]

Wow just in time, bought a 2007 Volvo s90 D5 185 hp. Love the car

[@Enginesetc]

Ah yeah thats the slighly newer euro 4 engine, but the procedure will be pretty much the exact same! They're great cars, I do love a volvo!

[@Wloczykij]

got same car like 2 weeks ago :) great machine!

[@Enginesetc]

@@Wloczykij Brilliant cars, I love them!

[@scotty6346]

I always fill up the fuel filter on my D5, So much less faff! 👍 BTW liked and subbed mate!

[@Enginesetc]

Yes that's a good tip, I never seem to remember to get a can of diesel though so always end up having to do this way haha! Filling up filter is definitely less messing about though you're right! Thank you, greatly appreciate that as it genuinely helps me out :)

[@lok_tortilla7001]

I have the exact same car, thanks for the high quality video 🤟

[@Enginesetc]

No problems, thank you for commenting! ✌🏻

[@MrKoblepot]

Thank you sir, soon time again for my s60, already afraid for the fuel filter, was a real pain to close it 😁

[@Enginesetc]

Yes its a bit of an annoying job, I suspect the correct tool will be volvo main dealer and something like £30+ as well so I'd rather struggle!

[@Twister740]

Hey i know its an old video. Do you know about there is an oxygen sensor on volvo v70 d5 2002 . Thanks . Best regards from Danmark

[@Enginesetc]

Hello, Most exhaust systems will have an O2 (oxygen) sensor to monitor combustion etc in the exhaust system somewhere. If you are having issues try scanning the codes first and a good scanner will point to which sensor it is :)

[@Twister740]

Thanks i Will try

[@Enginesetc]

Good luck!

Opinion on using an oil extractor pump instead of draining it trough the plug? I want to do a DIY oil change and would like to try that method. People say it is a legitimate way to do it.

[@Enginesetc]

I'd say you'd be fine, it gets most of the oil out if you have the engine warm before commencing. Some people say it gets even more out than draining to be honest. If i had one I'd probably use it so definitely be fine!

[@alouisschafer7212]

@@Enginesetc I dont want to buy jackstands, ramps etc just for an oil change you know... not for now at least :). So getting to it from the top is all I can do. The oil is VERY overdue at 37.000 Kilometers and being in that engine for years so I better get to it.

[@mariusfelecan1584]

I have a question..what is the code on the oil dipstick?

[@Enginesetc]

Hello, will try find out, car is with my parents few hundred miles away :)

[@fredstraw]

Went to service mine today but can't get the drain plug undone. Even tried pushing the spanner with my foot it's miles to tight.

[@Enginesetc]

That's a nightmare mate, might have to get an impact gun on it?

[@Left_it]

Great video. My 2006 V70 d5 uses loads of oil and exhaust keeps filling with soot. Any idea what could cause that? It's drinking oil like no tomorrow

[@Enginesetc]

Thanks! Yours I assume is the Euro 4 180 odd HP D5 due to the age, not sure but do those models have a DPF? Neighbour has a D5 S80 and that uses a lot of oil and deposits soot a lot and I believe it's due to the DPF, I'd maybe check that as a first port of call. After that, what grade of oil do you use, is it thick enough for the age/mileage? Too thin oil will seep past rings in higher mileage engines

[@Left_it]

@@Enginesetc yes, that's the one. DPF keeps filling and can't seem to really properly regen. I do a regen on motorway and then ten minutes later it's blocked again! On second exhaust now. Lotta miles on it (180k). That's a great point on the oil, I used the recommended 0w-30 Castrol, but recently got a cheaper generic brand 5w-30 and seems a bit better? What oil would you say would suit the age better?

[@Enginesetc]

@@Left_it I'd definitely delete the DPF if I were you, they dont save the environment anyway and just choke diesel engines that would otherwise last forever. Alternatively get it to do a forced regen and really clear it out. The oil id definitely say 5w40 or even 10w40 if its drinking it and see if that helps. It doesnt get that warm here so not worth having an ultra thin oil anyway

[@Left_it]

@@Enginesetc thank you mate sounds good. Ill look into forced regen and ask around about exhaust work it might be a good shout (is it technically 'allowed' and legal to do?)

[@Enginesetc]

@@Left_it No problems. It's not technically legal but just find a friendly MOT tester if I were you. The DPF is a crap invention anyway, it saves all the soot then burns it in one go, how is that any better in the long run than just releasing it as and when as part of the combustion process?

[@mattlostatsea]

Hi. I hope you can please help. Fan of your channel...I have a 2.4d volvo s60. I stupidly ran out of fuel the other week...I refuelled but can has gone into a limp mode. I have full reva but no power. The engine system service required light is on. I've bled the high pressure fuel rail nuts as per your video but I can't resolve. I've changed fuel filter as well. Any tips PLEASE. I can't afford a volvo dealer to fix. Thanks

[@Enginesetc]

The running out of fuel shouldt have casued any issues as its self bleeding, might be worth going to a local garage to scan the car for codes as the engine light is on, then you can narrow down the issue.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Mann oil filter or OEM Mahle? The Mahle looks better and is a bit more expensive.

[@Enginesetc]

I'd say either! I've always used mann in every car as I trust the brand and they do a lot of OEM stuff for other manufacturers/components, but if you feel more comfortable in the Mahle, go for that! I'm sure the Mahle will probably be higher quality, but nothing wrong with the Mann one at all so just comes down to if you want to spend the extra
