Really hoping you can shed light on a recent (possibly related?) issue of mine. I had ‘12 XC60 T6 with around 180k and experienced a shutter which I believe was like what you described here. It felt like trans shift issue and engine light flashed so I pulled over and shutdown. Then I restarted and it felt like a misfire but I was able to drive on 5 cylinders, so I tried driving a few miles to home. After a mile or so smoke was coming out of the hood so I pulled over and opened hood to find sizable fire near oil cap. I backed away , called authorities, and watched the fire get bigger until they extinguished 20 mins later. Plugs were changed around 130k but not coils to my knowledge (purchased at 110k w/o record). Any input is much appreciated and thanks a ton for the video, I will certainly be more prepared with my current xc70 3.2.

Just ordered a set of these, the HD air filter, and some OEM plugs for the ol’ 2010 XC70 T6. Drove it a ton over the last 6 months, she’s definitely due for a tune-up.

We had an ignition coil fail during a the first day of a 3-day, 2k mile road trip. Fortunately, it was just a melted ignition coil and we found a local mechanic who changed it out to get us back on the road. Went ahead and replaced all the spark plugs and ignition coils when we got home. Definitely changing these out every 75k miles. Our issue happened at 98k miles on a 2012 XC70 T6. Plugs had been changed at 75k miles, but not ignition coils. Pro-tip: do both. Simple diy job too. Definitely buying your coils on the next change out. Great video and tips!

Lots of valuable information , but it could be improved by clarifying the title of the video, and addressing the confusion around whether both the coils and spark plugs need replacement, as well as whether the replacement should be simultaneous. Also, expanding on the explanation of the dashboard message would make it clearer as well. Thank you 👏👏👏

Very interesting video. When you mention how accurate the engineers were who designed the car were in predicting the failure point of the plugs, it seems like less of a coincidence that the second one failed so soon after the first. When I changed the plugs on my 2015 xc70 with the 4 cylinder Drive e engine I was surprised how deep the plugs were. It was a little intimidating compared to what I was used to

Thank you for watching. We agree, I'm sure more than two would've eventually imploded. The fact is this particular car was on a 400 mile round trip to Seattle from Portland at low boost levels. Even under those conditions the charge is consistent and creates and extreme environment if other ignition components aren't up to par. Volvo recommends 75K mile replacement when they should be done every 60K. We will be doing a video covering the spark plugs shortly with a useful tool that will help reach the deeper cavity. Thank you for the support.

I've watch a bunch of videos on plugs and coils. It's a coin toss on the opinions out there on wether to put lube on the plug threads and dietetic grease on the plug tip that connects to the coil. I also noticed that you didn't use a torque wrench when installing the plugs... Just looking for some precise info since I'll be doing this on my 2015.5 XC60 in the next few weeks!! 🙂I love the details that Ken added to this whole issue that could happen to anyone!! It's also interesting that I cannot find any info on coil replacement at a specific mileage interval in my Volvo maintenance guide?! Just the plugs... Unless Volvo assumes that you will replace the coils when you replace the plugs... but @ $90 per coil I would think they'd tell us LOL!

Thank you for watching. The specs on the plus is around 20ft lbs. You have to crush the washer so we just went by feel, we have done enough of them we can tell when the crush washer seats properly. The coil replacement is not exact. Volvo recommends plug change around 75K miles. Most shops in our area are replacing them every 60K. If you have a worn out plug, it will cause the ignition coils to work harder and eventually overheat, all depends on driving conditions and load. I agree there should be a mileage on the coils, but we have not seen anything specific. Unfortunately we have seen them fail with a wide range of mileage.

Wiring harness insulation on my T6 has been cooked by the heat (172k). Replaced some wires and used liquid tape to keep it going. Did you have a short in the harness? Thanks. I'll check my coils...

@IPDTheVolvoSpecialists 5 ай бұрын

The harness takes a beating for sure. We will be working on harness protection and replacement pieces in the near future. We did not have a short in the harness. When the coil failed, it shorted out against the cylinder head and that is what blows the fuse. It did what it was designed to do. Thank you for watching!

@@IPDTheVolvoSpecialists That would be a great kit. So hard to remove wires from the connectors. Most junkyard parts are fried too. I have 3 3.0's in my fleet, love that engine. Keep up the good work.
