[@nourbutwatmi]

After watching several videos, this is absolutely the best and most professional of them all. Great Job!

[@4DIYers]

Thank you :)

[@ricorodriguez3579]

Excellent tutorial. It took me a LOT longer than 9 minutes but I got the job done! hehe. thank you!

[@IanDuffy]

This is amazing! Worked perfectly on my gf's C70! Thank you for this video

[@4DIYers]

Awesome to hear and thank you!

[@kasyvidrine]

Thanks for the walkthrough. Great video highly recommend it for single moms who can't afford the mechanic!! I love that it says every tool size and the things to watch for like checking the belt..

[@4DIYers]

No problem, always happy to help :) I have plenty more Volvo repair videos as well.

[@BellaCurtis]

single moms who work on cars for the win

[@jakobmiller1896]

Thank you so much for this! Doing the job on my 09 c30 couldn't have been easier because of this video.

[@4DIYers]

No problem and thank you for the feedback too!

[@joecraven2034]

Good tips. Easy to understand. Nice job.

[@4DIYers]

Glad it was helpful and thank you :)

[@Double65s]

Just what I needed for the coil pack replacement on a V50 tomorrow😀

[@4DIYers]

Excellent to hear :) I have plenty more Volvo tutorials too!

[@MrFerjurowns]

The Spark Plug he uses is the Iridium Spark Plug part number fr7ni33. They're about 10 bucks each.

[@kingearl2596]

You made a very understandable Video, Thank you. Sadfully many Volvo owners don't take care of theyr vehicles, so you see for example a very oxydated engine top.

[@hot_rod_stu7695]

Spot on tutorial as always man, keep it up!

[@4DIYers]

Thank you!

[@sydneysmall5315]

Question I found oil where my spark plugs are sitting and will need to change my valve cover gasket. Do you have a video explaining on how to do that?

[@4DIYers]

Unfortunately I do not have a video for that replacement.

[@howdypete8271]

Outstanding and perfect. Thank you!

[@4DIYers]

Thank you for the feedback! Will have more Volvo videos in the future too ;)

[@boathousejoed1126]

Excellent video!

[@4DIYers]

Thank you!

[@shiv.seeking]

Thanks a lot looking to start a s60 engine rebuild 😁

[@4DIYers]

No problem!

[@excampopa]

Would anti-seize on plugs help for next time?

[@BruceLyeg]

Good video as usual. I wish it was so easy to change the plugs on my Santa Fe.

[@4DIYers]

Thank you! I haven't worked on a Santa Fe before, are they that bad??? I've working on early 2000 Dodge Caravans before, they needed to be on a hoist to access the rear 3 plugs.

[@BruceLyeg]

They aren't terrible, just a pain in the ass. You have to remove a bunch of stuff and then remove the intake to get at the back three plugs. Just about any one of them I've worked on (including mine) has had the front plugs changed but the backs are usually the originals...no matter what the mileage is or what the last shop it was worked on in says. I kept them the plugs from the first Hyundai/Kia 2.7 V6 engine just to show people how bad they can get when they don't get changed.

[@4DIYers]

Almost sounds like the 4cyl Ford Ranger with 8 spark plugs. You'd think being a regular maintenance item, it's made to be more accessible. Wow that is bad! Despite it being more work, there is definitely no reason to cheap at replacing the plugs. Just causes more problems in the future, not to mention the jeopardize fuel economy, performance, and reliability.

[@henrykngema6111]

Thank you so much. so much informative!

[@4DIYers]

No problem and thank you for the feedback :) I have plenty more Volvo tutorials as well.

[@israel426]

Can i use an 3/8 + 3" extension with the 16mm for the sparkplugs?

[@mattk3445]

Do you have a video for removing the valve cover to replace the gasket and the tube seals? I've got oil leaking into 2/5 of my spark plug wells causing misfires.

[@4DIYers]

Unfortunately I do not.

[@voiceofreason891]

On the P1 5 cyl non-Turbos (i version) you need to remove the intake plenum. Make sure you get a set of gaskets (5 green o-rings) these crack frequently and cause the ecu to throw codes.

[@onergonen5752]

Does these engines require thin wall spark plug socket? I did change the plugs of our 2013 Volvo S60 T5 (engine code B5254T12) today and the regular 5/8 socket made contact with the outer rim of the head which I suspect may interfere with the torque values.

[@JoeGarcia-cg1pp]

Can you pre spray wd 40 30 min before taking out spark plugs I'm sure that will make the job a lot more smooth and easier to take them out? Thoughts?

[@kseriestsx4211]

Do you know the sequence of the head by any chance? If it’s 1-5 left to right or right to left, thanks 🙏

[@mikeleschnitman9504]

what would you suggest first steps to do on misfire P0301, P0302 ? (c30 2008 v2 T5 automatic)

[@4DIYers]

Check your plugs, that's where I'd start with first. If that passes, then move up to the boots and coils, they can be bench tested using a multimeter.

[@fonnaperkat5868]

What' is the spakplaks nmr from the Volvo xc70 24 turbo

[@sydneysmall5315]

Whenever I have a stuck bolt I’m gonna use that method!

[@lionCDM]

Great video! I can't open the engine cover. The T30 screws are rusted and stuck there. Penetration oil doesn't help. What should I do in order not to slip it? Will a impact driver be better than a ratchet?

[@4DIYers]

Maybe an impact driver, but you'll need to be extremely careful as you can risk cracking the cast aluminum cover. If you have a small sliding t handle, give it a smack with a hammer from the side and the shock may help it break loose.

[@jiminEcricket]

a little anti-seize on the plug threads may help ease any future plug removal

[@4DIYers]

Not something I would recommend. Many spark plugs on today's market already have an "anti-seize" plating and manufacturers are against using an additional anti seize coating. When using an anti-seize coating, it can cause over torquing of the spark plug and also alter heat dissipation.

[@jiminEcricket]

4DIYers actually did not know this. ...Learn something new every day. .thanks

[@4DIYers]

No problem :)

[@fuzzyvision1219]

How are the cylinders numbered on this engine brother?

[@4DIYers]

I believe it's 1-2-3-4-5, starting from the timing belt cover.

[@marcs4119]

Awesome video! I’m about to do the same. Would you recommend replacing all the coils too? I’ve been restoring 2006 s40 t5 and I want to do it right. Vacuum lines are next.

[@4DIYers]

Coils can last for a very long time and they can be checked using a multimeter.

[@jcarey1010]

@@4DIYers What if you have oil coming up out of the valve cover some an unknown area?? PCV system issue or anything else that I should know?? Any help much appreciated.. 2005 Volvo S40 non turbo. About to do the plugs tomorrow.

[@jeffreydijkstra3391]

I got a 2.0 c30 , where can i find what spark plugs i need? cant seem to find info in the owners manual

[@pduhovic6184]

Denso iridium tt20 are best. I've fitted them in my c30 2.0. Also you can find other brands just google them

[@HeckYeahBestie]

Still here learning in Dec 2024 🫡

[@4DIYers]

Awesome to hear!

[@juanfelipematajira6325]

Hey guys, do you recommend buying one 2009 on 2022?

[@kevinlee5690]

Thanks

[@4DIYers]

No problem, happy I could help!

[@BelieverinChristfvr]

So only 3 spark plugs and 3 ignition coils I thought this was a 5 cylinder what am I missing?

[@6lastresort]

What would you consider a "flat spot"?

[@4DIYers]

A spot in the rpm range where the power cuts off or there's a lack of power. Years ago I had a Subaru where the plugs were so bad that I couldn't go over a certain rpm. Managed to make it home and swapped out the plugs right away.

[@6lastresort]

@@4DIYers thank you!

[@zakk4744]

You should do the timing belt too!

[@rcoliver2014]

what reference number from bosch did you use?

[@4DIYers]

Bosch Iridium Spark Plugs FR7NI33. Links to the parts can be found here www.boschautoparts.com/en/auto/spark-plugs/iridium-spark-plugs?partID=FR7NI33 and here www.amazon.com/Bosch-FR7NI33-Iridium-Spark-Plug/dp/B0068M5ICO

[@shawnalexander4266]

Great video how long did it take you to do all this. Just wondering for a time frame

[@4DIYers]

For someone that is new replacing spark plugs, no more than 3hrs. If you're experienced working on cars, then much less.

[@juanrodrigoramirez6428]

spark plug spec?

[@aaronbqwert7164]

My v50 engine doesn't look like this. I have a large plenum on top of the engine

[@Battlebird23]

Then you have the 2,4l non-turbo engine.

[@potatochobit]

I need to do my timing belt I think I will just pay someone...

[@foojub6907]

22nm, not ft.lb of torque

[@4DIYers]

22 Ft lbs is the correct value.
