PCV system change replacement for Volvo 850, S70, V70, 1994 - 1998 Pt 1 of 2 - VOTD

[@thomasflynn6421]

Robert - You're the man!! I used your video to replace the PCV on my 1995 850 N/A and everything came together and it all worked! I've never attempted this major of a repair on my own and I was nervous that I'd get into the weeds and get stuck and have to throw in the towel for professional help. Although your video has differences between the turbo models and the N/A models the method is generally the same. While I've read on here that people can knock this job out in 2 or 3 hours, it took me all weekend. It was amazing how much carbon build up was in the PCV line and how clogged the EGR was. I cleaned it all as you instructed. My advice to those that are attempting to do this job is to take your time, label every vacuum hose (I did it with a label maker) and take pictures that you can use as a references when putting everything back together. To me, this was NOT a fun job and it sucked trying to get the two upside down bracket manifold bolts off and then put back on but your video saved me a ton of $$$ in my wallet (Volvo of Dallas wanted around $1000 to do the job)!! Once I put everything back together I drove the car around my neighborhood and it was idling a little rough but on further inspection I noticed that the hose to the top right of the manifold had come off when I was putting the vacuum tree back on and it was an easy fix. Once reconnected it now runs great and no longer do I have breathe in poisonous/noxious gasses when I'm sitting at a stop light. Thank you Robert! You saved me a ton!

Found oil all over the top of my Volvo 850 2.3L T5 engine... I know now with out a doubt that my problem in the pcv box... Thank you for the video... I will source one tomorrow since it's 7pm on a Sunday here in Johannesburg South Africa. The moter was recently rebuilt but the guy who rebuilt it for me neglected the pcv system.. New rings, bearings and head gasket.... New crank pully... But didn't replace the pcv.... I'm sure he wanted my moter to go again so he could get more work in... We will see who's smarter now... Thanks Robert. You the man

[@RobertDIY]

Normal for oil to be on top of the engine. Usually from a bad oil cap seal.

[@animalryan6716]

@@RobertDIY yes that is true. Did have smoke comeing out the dipstick and the water reserve bottle was bubbling and pushing water out as well.

Hello Robert, I just want to sincerely thank you for making the effort to share these videos and your knowledge with us. I have used them to help decide if I even wanted to buy a Volvo, after having owned both an early 80s 240 and a 95 960. I did decide to buy an 06 XC70, and will probably be referring to your videos quite frequently. Again, thanks!!

Hey, Robert here I am again on a new project. History on this car: I have a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo with 153,000 actual miles. I have put about $9k plus in this car since 2006 when it had 38,000 on it. I do most of the work on my car to save money. I will let a mechanic see it if I can't fix it. I finally decided to do the PCV kit by myself yeah, it took me 2 days because I kept dropping screws and gaskets where I had to unscrew everything looking for screws. I also stripped 4 6mm flat torx screws for the spark plug cover. Never thought I would strip them having to borrow a neighbor stripped screw fixer. Get a telescoping magnet to capture dropped screws and tools! Now that I'm finished I having acceleration on startup. It doesn't settle down to normal idle. It just keeps revving up so I have to shut it off. This didn't happen to be'for the PCV kit. I didn't see much on the throttle assembly. What could be wrong? Can you help me so I can have a working car? Does the wire go over or under the throttle wheel? I went under. Is there a video or a link I can go to on assembly of the throttle housing?

Hi Robert, although this is an old video, don't underestimate the value of it. I had no idea that this system needed cleaning and for the past few years has suffered oil on top of the spark plugs. I just put it down to age of the car being a 1994 and just about on 300,000 miles. Then I caught a forum post about "oil under the spark plug cover" and did a bit more research. Your videos covering so many versions is very valuable and i'm just in the middle of this job. My car also has the VVIS on the inlet manifold and I had no idea that mine was a) seized and b) vacuum disconnected. I had put down the loss of power for the past few years as "old age". Had I not been doing the PCV, I would never have encountered the VVIS on the manifold! This is the first time the PCV has been changed on the car, fortunately, I know that the rear main crank seal is ok, a local Volvo specialist recently fitted a new clutch and I asked about that seal. They said they preferred to leave alone at this age as from their experience, that's the better option. After this job, it's straight onto the cambelt, done that before though. I'm right there with you though, the value of the old Volvo's isn't in the financial value but the service they deliver. Ours is worth nothing but has been with us for 21 years, taken both children home from being born (they are now teenagers and one driving himself), transported our dogs (now long departed). The Volvo is a cherished family member and long may it continue. 300,000 miles? Here's to the next 100,000. Thanks for the videos, your Volvo videos are *the* goto videos here.

[@howesitgoin739]

Omg the NA so much easier. I had to do it 3 times. My vacuum lines comes off the tree. No wrap around to the other side of the manifold. Ended up replacing all the vacuum lines. I mean I got all this space now! Lol. Check all the orifices. My vacuum was plugged in the elbow into the throttle body. Cleaned it with a nail. Done! Thanks for your help Robert.

Hi Robert, I just finished replacing the PCV system and starter motor on my V70. Your explanation helped me a LOT! Thanks for putting the effort in your videos.

[@RobertDIY]

[@ds6846]

I have done this operation on several cars. The latest being a 98 S70 with 265k. I bought this car about a month ago.It was apparent that someone before me did a hack job on this - the hoses were not the 'right' ones, and the small vacuum line from the PTC to the intake manifold was weak and seriously kinked in several places. The last guy also put in some wrong elbows as you found in your video.When I was done, I cut open the oil trap / breather box. While it was a mess inside, it wasn't blocked in any significant way. The hose from the valve cover to the breather was OK. The other lines, other than being a hack job, weren't blocked. The PTC (the end of the lines in the intake to the turbo) was completely blocked. There's a small vacuum line here, and a much fatter line. I yanked out the PTC and soaked it in carb cleaner repeatedly to get it cleared up.It's all good, now that I replaced all the lines and cleaned the PTC, but without cleaning the PTC this would have been all for nothing. If this had had the correct hoses, I think that maybe the breather box and line replacement would have been mostly a waste of time. Maybe just pulling the hoses at the PTC and cleaning the PTC would have been sufficient...

[@RobertDIY]

+David Shea That is possible.

[@RobboJohny]

Thank you for your step-by-step insturctions and very accurate shooting of the whole process! I've done first the heater core replacement and now the whole PCV stuff thanks to your videos on my 97 v70. One thing I can add to this video - if you find the thin PCV hose (which get's hard and breakes) to be a little bit expensive - try to pick a flexible hose of similar internal diameter. I've picked one which is a petrol hose and used a heat-resistant tape to on it to prevent it from breaking apart if I would change the PCV can once again in future.

[@RobertDIY]

+RobboJohny I hope to make copper pipes for mine in the future.

[@stephenwallace3701]

99 volvo v70 xc turbo - had blown cam seals about 8 months ago (did not know why). a few months later car started to stall ). did the glove test, glove did inflate. replaced oil trap and hoses (there was a detachable piece connected to the manifold that was plugged with oil and the hoses was crissed cross to the oil box). cleaned etm, replaced etm gasket and manifold gasket. cleaned ptcv nipple. did glove test, no smoke, glove did not inflate, instead it was nearly sucked into the engine. Let car run idle for 20 minutes. sounds good.will take on a test drive this weekend. not a easy task!!! , but if i had to do it again, i could do it much faster. I appreciate it Robert.

[@RobertDIY]

Yes sir, in '99 they put that hose and nipple on the manifold. Pain in the rear.

[@stephenwallace3701]

I almost quit at that point. Trying to bolt that nipple down was very difficult.

[@RobertDIY]

I usually pull the throttle body and get it that way. Much easier.

[@stephenwallace3701]

Robert DIY This might be far fetched. I had an engine light on, that was reading a catalytic converter code. Do you think this repair could take care of that? Of course, I will have to drive about 20 miles for the computer to reset, being that the battery was disconnected.

[@todde4226]

Glove was blowing up on my 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo, so I decided to make this maintenance repair, despite the feeling it was beyond my skills. It WAS beyond my skills, BUT how do you gain experience and skills? I read that the repair should take upwards of 8 hours if you don't know what you are doing. I took me at least 30 hours over 5 days and a GREAT DEAL of frustration. Used this video and FCP Euro's as my guides. Snapped pics of everything as I went along. Everything was going VERY smoothly until I went to simply lift off the intake manifold as documented in the videos. It would not move. It was connected to a metal pipe, which I would find out was connected to the EGR valve. Well, I lubed the nut and finally got it off, but I COULD NOT GET THAT EGR PIPE CONNECTED AGAIN TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. The first (2) times I completed this project, I got the manifold started (bolted with a few bolts) and then connected the pipe and then finished bolting down the intake manifold. DID NOT WORK. Manifold was not flush - had massive vacuum leak. Car stalled out immediately. Eventually, on my third try, I set the manifold flush and bolted it down. But I still had the task of connecting the EGR valve. I tried torching that pipe, bending it with locking pliers....nothing. (It MAY have eventually succumbed to the torching, but I didn't spend a whole lot of time trying.) Finally I decided to remove the EGR from the manifold, screw it to the metal pipe, and then install the EGR back on the manifold. That took probably 2 hours, and it was a bear, but I finally got it connected. I shudder to even think about the entire process. ANOTHER aspect of this repair that is glossed over in the videos is the removal of the fuel rail. YOU HAVE TO BE SOOOOOO CAREFUL REMOVING THAT FUEL RAIL OR YOU WILL LOSE THE FUEL INJECTOR SEALS (LOWER) AND/OR THE FUEL INJECTOR SPACERS (UPPER). You will not be able to find these anywhere but online, special order, or the junk yard and they are pretty expensive. I suggest carefully loosening each injector at the bottom so you pull them out attached to the fuel rail. If the little seals fall in the engine, THEY ARE GONE - DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR THEM, and your injectors will leak and your car will idle rough or not start. You may want to try and slide a tray under the rail as you remove the injector rail. To be fair to Robert, he knows how careful you have to be in removing the fuel rail, and that it is something you want to avoid at all costs....unfortunately I don't think it is stressed strongly enough in his video. Finally, do not think someone in the Volvo DIY forum will hold your hand and guide you through the process. While any help is certainly appreciated, the response times are often very slow. Depending on how many questions you ask, you will very likely hear that you have done irreparable damage to your vehicle and that it will cost thousands of dollars to repair. This will stress you out even more than you already are. If you are a newbie, you might want to count the cost of making this repair by yourself, especially if you have an EGR valve. But if you want to gain some experience and get to know your vehicle a little better, go ahead and make the repair. Depending on your skill level it may take you far longer than 8 hours and you will need a spare vehicle to run to parts stores and the like. Make sure to have a long magnet to help you retrieve the loose bolts and sockets that WILL fall into the engine. Upon finally finishing the project, the glove is limp. I am very thankful to Robert for this thorough instructional video. I couldn't have made the repair without it. Plus he has videos on just about anything Volvo under the sun if you need.

[@RobertDIY]

+Todd E Ouch! Hey Todd, sorry to read that this task was such a challenge. Did you clean out the engine block holes real good?

[@todde4226]

+Robert DIY I did clean out the engine block holes with some carb cleaner. I have since edited my post to say that, after testing a few more times, the glove is not blowing up at all. (I had initially thought there was some blow back.) I could make this PCV system repair now in 2-4 hours no problem IF it wasn't for that EGR valve - specifically the pipe. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with that thing? You mentioned an "EGR delete with tunes"? Thanks.

[@RobertDIY]

Those pipes are hard to deal with, you have to really concentrate and take it loose, etc. Glad your system is passing the test.

[@lindamack9301]

Just purchased a 1995 Volvo 850 for my 17 year old to drive to school-successfully repaired the odometer thanks to your video. The car is stalling at lights after it warms up. I assumed it was the PVC system, my local mechanic wants to replace it, but with the glove test, it doesn't inflate, gets sucked in. Now what? (love this car)

[@RobertDIY]

Any codes? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTPgqRti9V2Zpo

[@RobertDIY]

Yes the EGR does kinda suck, adds about 2 hours on the job. Most of the 850's from '93 through '95 has EGR and some of the '96 cars. Some people do an EGR delete with tunes.

Hey Robert, I have a '98 S70. 240,XXX miles on it, runs beautifully other than a few smaller issues and a head gasket. It does have an oil buildup under the beauty cover leading me to believe that it has the problem you described here. I am going to be replacing the head gasket soon (as it currently has head sealer in it and it is working for the time being) and figure its a good time to do this as well, but what else would you think is worthwhile to do while it is apart for preventative maintenance?

[@charleskennedy23]

Robert, I can't find the other video where I asked this question so I am going to ask again here. I did the PCV replacement on my 1998 v70 T5. Used the ipd kit. I got everything apart and back together ok. I did need to drain my coolant because I had to pull the hose off the top of the thermostat to get to one of the manifold bolts. When I went to crank the car up after getting done I got a really bad turnover sound and then the car would't start. I tried to pump the fuel system by turning off and tuning on several times without cracking. Didn't start on the second try and I took a peek under the hood. I found fuel on the top of the block. I checked for leaks (didn't see any), tightened the fuel line going into the fuel rail (I remembered that I loosed it slightly earlier in the job and forgot to retighten it) and tried again. Same thing except this time no fuel on the block. I did not change the oil when I was done with the PCV replacement. My ports were clean and when I got done it looked like it didn't need to do the PCV system (expect for the fact that it had never been done and the little hose that connects into the manifold was broke). Also I didn't use a torque wrong on the manifold. I didn't have one, but I was careful not to over tighten the bolts and I put them on in a criss cross type pattern. Any ideas on why I got fuel on my block and no start? I did take the file rail off as a part of the job and I did install new fuel injector rings. thanks Charles

[@RobertDIY]

Charles Kennedy Hey Charles, the main reason to replace the system is that is fails the glove test. Second reason is that all the lines are old and brittle, break easily which causes problems.

14:46 you said that "if no EGR, I would not remove intake manifold". How else could you remove the black PCV box under the manifold? How could you route the new hoses with the manifold still on? I would really like to know how to do that because I don't have EGR and need to do this job, I would love to not have to take off the manifold or fuel rail.

I dont have my pcv system placed at that location anymore on my t5 v70. I have it install next to the filterbox with special mods looks now 100% stock like it was from factory. I can easly clean or replace it with just 2x 10mm and some hose clamps.

[@RobertDIY]

Interesting.

[@arbitelli]

The PCV valve should be changed, in general, in all cars, to 30000/50000 km. It is important to change that piece because they become clogged or damaged. If it does not work well, the oil gases tend to run out of the engine seals. In the Volvos, they should be changed between 80000 and 150000 km, depending on the case. I already changed that piece in two Volvos. In the first one, an S40 T5 was changed to 120000. In my current one, a Volvo S60 T6, I changed it to 80000 km. It is relatively easy to change it in the Volvo S60 T6, especially because of its location (above the engine). Although there are some screws that take a lot of work out and then screw them. I recommend changing that part so that the engine stays clean and in good condition.

[@RobertDIY]

Interesting.

Hello, Robert. 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 do it myself due to lack of experience and fear of mistake.

Did you replace the oil cap seal? Did you do the glove test? Did you clean out the ports behind the oil trap box? Most people replace the oil immediately, especially if they pushed sludge into the oil pan while cleaning out sludge in the ports behind the oil trap box.

Most likely lifter ticking. It may quiet down after you drive a few miles. The owners manual recommends that you keep the RPM low until the ticking stops. Usually caused by sitting but low oil pressure can also cause it. Lifters prior to '96 were not as good as the newer ones.
