Volvo D5 Engine Popping Noise Cause and Cure

[@HULLC1TY1]

Hi sirobb ive Just bought a d5 Volvo S60 and it has this problem. Ive been looking through your videos you have posted and mine has most of the problems you have put up. Your videos have help me a lot and saved me money and headache from the wife as she thought I bought a lemon. Thanks again please please keep posting these realy helpful videos.

[@pacoporras8726]

Same same for me Simon... mine doesn't have all the issues though... But definitely you made a huge contribution to my pocket.... Thanks

[@geoffreygcotton]

Hi Simon, Hope you’re well, how are your swirl flaps?😮 I have problems with mine, wondered if there were any swell flap videos in the pipeline👍

[@ggtaruc2578]

I don't own a D5 but just wanted to thank you for taking the time to share this knowledge.

[@alexsa122]

OMG man !!! I was REALLY WORRIED about my D5 engine, because of this sound. Now, at 1 am, searching about the issue, I have found your video - and yes , I can tell that this was my problem. Thank you very much!

[@dansaabnut3563]

Had exact same problem, went on YT found your video SiRobb and everything is sorted now. I just had to comment beacuse you helped me effectively and quickly diagnosed this! Much much appreciated for your kindness and that you are uploading such videos! 2 weeks ago I was after W124 MB pre 1993 but I couldn't find right example so I changed my mind and luckily my Gold D5 2002 S60 with 65k milage came up on Facebook marketplace and I decided to give a go beacuse my head always turned around when I saw these cars and used to always liked them : D Same as 7xx series, 9xx, 850, and pre 2002 V70s. My car was bit neglected but I am giving her proper care now. Last week front and rear engine mounts, full service plus carbon cleaning, front brake pads, central exaust leak welded, Injector seal replaced, turbine refurbished and wheel alignment done. That's so far. I am gonna check all suspension as a next step and replace gradually everything which needs to be addressed. Feel good about that! I've got one struggle with interior though and it's driver seats. Because it's Velour ( I didn't want leather interior) the seat is worn and there are holes already in a stichings. Anyway this as well will be done! They such a great cars. They have this feel of 90s/80s and when you driving one no any other from any new ones brands will make you smile and there is feeling in you that you actually never will go for modern beacuse is there any pleasure to drive a soulless machine ? : ) I like as well idea that these cars proper maintained lasts forever not needing to be replaced and people by keeping them developing some sort of feelings towards them. That's true friendship beetwen the man and the machine isn't ? SiRoob have a nice day tomorrow and wish you all the best! Cheers!

Hi to you all Volvo owners! First of all i have to say that SirRobb is the Superman of old Volvo. Thanks to him i discovered why my old d5 made that strange noise when pullin off the oil filler cap. I can confirm that is a vacuum related issue. so, i noticed that when pushin hard the brake peddal the noise stoped. so in my case it was the power brake booster cause is related to the vacuum pump. the car was brakin just fine but sometimes the return of the brakin pedal was kind of slow followd by some air leak, like a wistle. Hope this info is usefull for those who didnt find anyother leak on the engine monunts or vacuum pump. Thank you SirRobb

[@AzzyAasbjorn]

Johnny Depp you mightve just solved my problem with the vaccum leak Ive literallt replaced all the lines and mounts but still get the noise. Going to try this tomorow too see if it works

[@goodziemusic]

Hi Johnny, I have just found a similar knocking noise after pulling off the oil cap of my C30 D5. It sounds very similar to this video but higher pitched. Can you remember if the sound from your engine was higher pitched? Would I be able to contact you and send you a video? I still need to check the engine mounts the same way this video suggests and also push the break pedal hard like what you did and see if the noise stops. Cheers.

[@Altarofwater]

[@daliborsacaric5258]

Today I have tested this and had the same noice and same fix you show... But im comcern of your video I would recommend you to check your PCV that not excists and your camshaft Thank you for your Videos, Mate...

[@777skinner]

You are so right about so called experts I know this through bitter experience. Recently I took my 2007 D5 to a workshop fir a crank shaft seal replacement, a 7-8 hour job listed in Volvo schedules of work. The workshop took the whole engine and gearbox out, split the two, replaced the seal, replaced the whole unit resulting in a car that would not run properly below 2k revolutions. 24 hours work, a car unuseable and they wanted £1400, and I bought the seal.

[@paulbird795]

I removed the brake booster vacuum hose from the vac pump and this popping noise STOPPED! Stick my finger over the pump inlet and the popping starts again. How contrary is that. Very good videos and much appreciated.

[@sirobb]

Use a vacuum tester and and check at different engine temperatures as the EGR position can cause the popping noise even with a sound vacuum system.

[@paulbird795]

@@sirobb That does make sense, thank you. I was having slow start issues with my xc70 and tracked back to the ECU not seeming to transmit a signal to glow plug relay, also the original volvo glow plug connectors were really craply done so I have just made a whole new glow plug relay and distribution system controlled by a NO micro push switch mounted on plastic panel near gear stick. Also noticed that when the coolant temp switch is removed, the car is fooled into thinking it's very cold so opens up fuel rack etc and starts immediately (sort of puts it into beast mode). So I have run that to a NC momentary switch next to the glow plug relay witch. One way or the other, that get it started! These are so well built, but sometimes a bit too clever so we have to rethink the electrics. Before I got it the history shows a fortune spent at volvo garage to fix glow issues, fab remedies like wrapping tap around the glow connections!

[@gemeinsamesfamilienkonto3304]

I own an D5 with engine damage cause I've a good engine to replace. Thr engine runs and To hear was this Noise (thanks to you i knew what it is) and a metallic hard noise from a defect top engine mount. a detective Glowplug prevent from a good start. So the previous owner had been informed by the workshop that engine damage was imminent and he sell it cheap. It's a shame what workshops tell his customers for a bullshit for the next order. Ok the dpf was full cause glowplug failure but I repaired it all and have a very good in shape v70 phase 3 for much less than good in state running cars.... Thanx again

[@davidwilliams347]

It's 3 plus years since I previously thanked you for your really impressive tutorials Simon and you continue to do some great stuff. Just wondering could you direct me to anything you have experienced on changing the Volvo HU-850 radio with another of same model coming from same year V70. There appears to be some sort of software mismatch, CAN bus issue and proving to be a nightmare. I don't have VIDA or DICE but would buy if a code change is possible. Dave

[@DomX2008]

You sure told the experts! Nice job, handy thing to know for D5 owners, many thanks.

[@blackbox-communications4186]

Thanks for this, that was really helpful. I didn't realise my engine wasn't supposed to be as loud, and had really bad power loss on my motor coming home from holiday! Going to try this tomorrow and order new mounts

[@LuckiesLife]

Once again SiRobb does the job! My D5 is doing this and I know it is the mounts and I have a vacuum tester. But I actually think that pipe is not connected to the control valve on my car. I must check when daylight arrives!

[@Peppermint1]

Don't ya think there could be a small african with a drum down there? I wonder if same goes for the petrol engine?

I have an XC 70 that loses power every now and then. Lots of parts been replaced but still have the same problem. Anybody come across this problem before had full service and changed the cam belt but still the same intermittent problem any ideas please

[@cooperwilliams4686]

Thank you... You are a Legend. 😉 Everyone on here calls themselves an expert 😂. Even the "technicians" At my local main dealer couldn't diagnose this noise for me. I did as you do in this video and problem solved. My engine mounts are fine but the vacuum hose had come disconnected... Probably the last time an "expert" had his hands under the bonnet.

Thanks for this video, had a very rare limp home mode issue and suspected a vacuum leak straight away and tested for this noise and have it, so luckily an easy fix

[@reynauldayson]

how did you fix it?

[@aaronpostlethwaite8449]

Thanks for this video. My V70 has this same issue . Why do the engine mounts require a vacuum?

[@albertje]

Thanks for the video. Had the same issues with the sound coming from the filler hole. Also people said it was a crankcase ventilation problem but ventilation was all clear... Gonna check the vacuum hoses tomorrow. I already blocked the engine pads a long time ago so it could me the lines to the turbo.

[@tryku4285]

I also have a vacum issue with my D5. The noise doesn't go away even if I block the connection on the vacum pump itself. May this be caused by a leaking brake booster? I already have changed the O-ring on brake boosters plastic connector.

hi my d5 makes this noise but when i bloke the brake servo hose and the vacuum hose from governor, the popping noise stops completely. dose that mean my brake servo is faulty. no leak on vacuum pump. i blanked the engine mounts but noisy still

Mate your a star. I just bought a v60 es 63plate and I've not had a Volvo before. Lovely ride o ly done 60 miles but theres a hissing noise like a turbo leak or inter cooler leak ect Dose seem propper sluggish but I've been that busy mot had ti e to look. I just tonight opened the oil filler cap and heard this load popping noise and my neighbour who was 50 ft away said "oh that's fucked get rid of it... "

[@foxondrums]

Hey, SiRobb thanks for this excellent tip! Have been watching your Volvo videos for a while !! Absolutely great!!

[@olle209]

Hi SiRobb, I have a XC70 D5 2005, got the same noise when opening the oil filler cap, WIll try to remove the hoses to the engine pads, I also agree it is a vaccum issue, my question, I was probably stupid when I blew compressed air into the hoses after removing the hoses from the TCV. Do you think I have damaged something with the compressed air. The turbo is not working anymore but that could be linked to being clogged with oil sauce after the oil cooler broke. Thx and best regards from a Swede living in Germany having three Volvos. XC70 D5 , V70 GLT 1997, S80 V8 2007 with Heico sport exhaust.

Why does it have vacuum to the engine mounts?

[@dougedwardsyachts]

Hi Robb, interesting video. I think in 38yrs of driving I’ve never undone my oil filler cap whilst the engine was running. Of course I now have on my recently purchased winter ride 04 V70 D5 😱 the popping sound is there on take off, car drives well otherwise. Hopefully it can wait until the Spring when my Summer car comes out again.

[@apivaras]

WOW WELL DONE FINDING THIS KNOCKING NOISE PROBLEM !!! I have bought 2008 xc90 d5 for my dad 3years ago with this noise. I knew then that it was something to do with vacuum but could not find what. Ever since it bothered me but now I know what it is and can fix it. Thanks

[@Christerart1]

Lovely, thanks so much! And while the Volvo world might be small - you are one of the great..=*^) I'll check out the other video right now. Hope to run into you some time and be able to say Thanks face to face..=*^) Thanks again!

[@marksquires1112]

quick ? Rob, why do engine mounts need to be supplied with a vacum? So interesting, and forgive me if it`s obvious but i am not very mechanically knoweldgeable to be quite frank. Thanks for all your videos, i have just bought a d5, 2006 model, and seeing this wealth of info you have shared with us has helped me decide to purchase this car.(my 1st Volvo!!) Still gotta go fetch it, so have only done a test drive thus far, but what a car is all i can say for now. :)))

[@sirobb]

The vacuum softens and hardens the mount to improve engine damping and reduce cabin vibration.

[@marksquires1112]

thanks man, you are great to bother replying to me. My son in Germany googled it the other day when I was chatting to him and.I'm happy to hear he is right!😊 Was wondering how long I can let it go on for, any danger to the turbo I hope by leaving it for a while? These motors fuel economy is allegedly 6,5 l per 100km(i think-its the d5) but with a well serviced engine and driving responsibility(mellow acceleration etc, I am an experienced driver) I'm wondering what kind of fuel economy I should expect. Any idea here Rob? (It might be a good indicator of excessive vacuum leakage from those engine mounts..) No worries if its asking too much, but if you have some idea, I'd appreciate some insight here. Cheers Rob.

[@henke100]

I have this issue as well as many others apparently. I found that unplugging the electrical connector on that valve closes it an the popping goes away. Since you call it Turbo control valve, does it do anything else than provide vaccum to the motor mounts? I am thinking that I will leave it unplugged until mounts are replaced, good idea? Thanks for this good information!

[@deanallendj]

Yeah mine done this due to a faulty engine mount, i just plugged the vacuum hose to that mount for the time being and the noise went away

[@villkar1373]

Sorry for asking dumb questions, but what part do you have to change if you have this noice and did the same as you did?

[@jansestak8560]

Hello @sirobb Aside of the popping noise, the noticable engine clicking noise is perfeczly ok? Or it might be problem with hydraulic lifters? Thank you!

[@TheBraveFriend]

Sirobb do you actually know how the loss of vacuum is causing that popping sound. Obviously, it is a vacuum issue and my D5’s popping noise is even louder than yours so I am just trying to understand what exactly is popping in the engine. Many thanks!

[@beegle3]

So I have watched your video, and found I also have the “popping” issue. However, when I block the valve off like you did, the pop continues and doesn’t change tone in any way. Soo, what could it be 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ D5 XC90

Can I replace the pulley? Cheers.

[@christopherhaga2388]

Hi. Great videos! I've tried cleaning the tcv an blocking the pipes all the way down to the pump. Blocking the vac pump wont help. It seems as there is a lack of vacuum. Testet it with a vac gauge. The vacuum comes in pulses, and it wont build up, it just flickers. Removing the maf makes it even worse. Thinking its the vac pump thats broken. Just wondered if there are any other things I can check before I get a new one? Can't see how the maf sensor has anything to do with vacuum the pump produces? I have the EURO3 Christopher

[@sirobb]

See my video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqvWepRqjpeHmdU and put the vacuum tester directly onto the vacuum pump. If the needle flickers and doesn't stay stable, the vacuum pump is faulty or the vacuum pump seals. Buying a used pump should be quite cheap because they are very reliable so not in high demand.

[@christopherhaga2388]

Thanks a lot! Appreciate your help! Christopher

[@krumins9]

Hi Sirobb! i had the same problem. the popping went away by isolating the rear mount- changed the mount and the popping is still there. The line itself holds preassure. Im stuck now. One volvo garage told me that they have seen many euro 3 engines that have this popping that goes away by isolating the rear mount even when the mount itself is fine. Is that true? is the rear mount supposed to leak some vacuume?

[@abood_abtv4203]

The rear mount could be perished and releasing vacuum and replace the vacuum hoses

[@krumins9]

@@abood_abtv4203 In the end i ended up swaping out both vacuum actuated mounts and vacuum hoses and the vibration in cabbin got even worse- transmissions tarted touching the subframe at times so another independent garage swapped out all 3 rubber mounts (for Lemforder) since they all were perished and only then found out that the new "Febi" vacuum mounts were both shot (assuming- defected from factory or just designed badly") and leaking oil when removed for inspection once again. Got "Lemforder" ones and all the vibration and popping went away.

[@madturbo5199]

Just got a d5 & thought I'd test this myself but someone has disconnected both the hoses from the mounts. I have this noise but can't figure out where it's coming from if both mounts have been disconnected. No fault codes on the car when driving it does make a turbo noise I'm guessing that's normal though

[@location2597]

Too bad your car seems not to have the parking heater installed. This component fails all the time on the up-to-2006 models. A repair and disassemble walk trough would be fantastic. Your video's are great!\

[@knoraffe]

Hi SiRobb, maybe you can help me ;) i have test it on a car i want to buy but the sound hasn't changed. On a test drive the brakes doesnt work like they should. I think the brake booster is the problem. Less power too at the acceleration. Could it be that the vacuum pump is defect and thats also the reason why it has less power? Also there is smoke coming out of the dipstick. Greatings Albert. I hope you can help me cause you know more about the volvos than the volvo mechanics.

It appears my front engine mount is nackered as I have this noise and when I block the line to the front mount the noise stops. Can I block the line temporarily till I get a new mount? To stop the vacuum and I guess boost leak when the manifold has positive pressure?

[@sirobb]

Yes. There's a temporary fix video in my list. You can also vacuum test the mount to confirm.

[@stoatlover]

Thanks for the video. Great help

[@craig855s]

OK, brill video and thanks for being helpful, but i've just put my finger over the hole and i felt the vacuum there, but no matter how long i held my finger there for the noise didnt get any quieter. What does this mean?

[@sirobb]

If the noise is there at all engine temperatures, you need to further investigate the valve and vacuum system ideally with a vacuum tester. Lots of videos in my Playlist called Cars.

[@jchalmers28jc18]

Hi there can u tell me if am best to block the pipe of till I get mounts fixed .good vid 👍🏼

[@sirobb]

As a temporary solution, you can block the vacuum feed to a leaking mount if you have a Euro 3 163 D5 but if you have a Euro 4, there's no point.

[@Skrenseland]

whats the pop sound at 0:13? thats the one i have.

[@sirobb]

Skrenseland That's the AC compressor engaging.

[@Skrenseland]

ah ok! its a s80 t6. makes that sound several times a minute.. normal?

[@viklacika]

I don't find the turbo control Valve on my 2008 V70 D5. Do you know where is it? I have the same problem

[@jimmypwa9683]

I've got exactly the same noise on my D4 2.4 diesel. Very loud popping noise but I don't have a turbo on the car? Probably a vaccum leak by the sounds of it but I can't find it

[@petrolpower96]

Exact same symptom on my Euro 3 D5. Is this something that would be harmful for the engine to drive with over longer period of time, or is it just a concern or not while idling? Runs like a train, but I’ve started to feel signs of a bad engine mount when I accelerate and then let go of the throttle quickly (just to diagnose if it was the mounts or not)

ticking noise from my d3 ( 5 cylinder 2.0 liter diesel engine) volvo xc 60 2012. do you know what can it be?

[@danielcroitoru7161]

Salut, i-ai dat de cap? Și eu am aceeași problema

[@richardroberts5308]

Great video, with the issue explained easily. i just tested mine by squeezing the tube to close it from the side of my TCV and expected the popping sound to stop, although in my case it made no difference... what does this mean please?

[@sirobb]

The popping is vacuum related so because that check hasn't worked for you, have a look at the boost solenoid cleaning video in my list. That's assuming you have the Euro3 163.

[@richardroberts5308]

+SiRobb thank you. i do have the 163hp model. so will check out your other video. is it the Cleaning Volvo D5 Turbo / Boost Control Valve?

[@sirobb]

+Richard Roberts Yes that's the one. 👍 You can also peel up the metal rim and remove pipework and inspect the rubber diaphragm to check for splits.

[@cocktail3018]

8 years later this video just saved another volvo, any idea why my noise could have been intermittent? coming and going with the oil cap off.

[@sirobb]

@@cocktail3018 The noise can change with engine heat and the position of the EGR valve so not always obvious.

[@ragnargudmundsson8735]

How much engine pressure is normal? Pcv Can you do a glove test on the oil (cap)

[@380vaults7]

hi my d5 makes this noise but when i blank the brake servo hose and the vacuum hose from governor, the popping noise stops completely. dose that mean my brake servo is faulty. no leak on vacuum pump. i blanked the engine mounts but noisy still happen. have you tried this?

[@mari-fq6it]

sirrob i like yours videos its perfect.

[@richarddavis4378]

Great videos, is it ok to carry on driving, until I get it fixed or can it cause engine damage. Thanks

[@sirobb]

I can never recommend driving any car that has outstanding maintenance issues. That decision is for you to make.

[@richarddavis4378]

@@sirobb would you drive it ?

[@sirobb]

If I had absolutely no alternative, I probably would.

[@richarddavis4378]

@@sirobb ok, thanks. I'll do my best not to until I fix it..

[@richarddavis4378]

Sorry to keep asking questions, but I just noticed I have a leaky intercooler, would that cause this noise? Have a vacuum pump ordered, so will test the mounts anyway. Thanks Rich

[@shootsimple4697]

loving your videos, just got my first Volvo. Its a D5, mine is doing this, can I drive it with this issue? Worried pressure could build up and cause more issues.

[@ismoaulaskari3987]

You can drive as long as the car doesn't give any "check engine"-warnings. A minor vacuum leak from the engine mounts won't break anything, just makes the engine vibrations more audible to the driver when idle.

[@sirobb]

Worn mounts can cause boost issues on the Euro 3 D5 so the consequences of doing nothing can vary.
