Volvo LR2 3.0T 3.2SI6 Alternator Replacement

The first step is to remove the intake here is the link to my video that explains how to remove the intake step by step.
• How to Remove the Inta...
After removing the intake, here I explain step by step on how to replace the alternator on the Volvo 6 cylinder engines 3.0T and 3.2 SI6 and the LR2 engines.

[@tomkimberly2849]

This and the intake removal one are perfect how-to videos, really helped. No annoying background music, notes the size of the tools needed, explains those pesky clips. Couldn't ask for more, thanks. Oh, a 3/8 drill bit works for those dowel pins, tapping on the pointy end. I have so many in the drawer it's no loss to damage one.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Thank you, and also thank you for the drill bit trick that is amazing. I'm sure someone can use that trick.

[@user-ln9yn4cl1i]

Who put background music on a car repair

[@MultiRocketGuy]

Thanks so much for posting that video. I was referred to this on a forum because I couldn't get old the alternator back in (removed to tighten the gear bolt and replace the clutch) in with pins projecting out of the body. After viewing the video I took the alternator to Lowes to find a bolt by inspection that would work to insert the pins, ended up getting a 5" x 3/8" hex bolt to use as a tool, worked well. Putting the alternator back on via that method was less than a 10 min job.

[@ChrisBaccus]

Really appreciate your putting this on KZbin. Did the job yesterday on my 2012 T6. The manifold video helped too though thankfully the steps to remove the manifold on the T6 are easier. Plus I ended up cleaning the throttle body and replacing all the gaskets. Keep up the excellent work! PS - the advice of getting a 5” hex bolt that’s 3/8” worked perfectly to hammer back in the metal sleeves.

[@jctaiter]

Great video. Explained expertly with advice from experience. I learned a lot.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Thank you.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Thank you.

[@sbrew9033]

Newly Subscribed as i have been twisting on Volvos for some time and in the market for a 3.0 T6. Your doing a great service and really enjoy the effort. Good job and thank you.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

thank you

[@alexbelov8336]

Great. Thank you for a great detailed video. The Turbo (XC70 T6) is definitely easier - just the 10 bolts holding the manifold, a handful of connectors and large intake hose clamped to the plastic pipe. Easy removal and no required access from the bottom of the engine. Keep up the great work sharing your knoweldge and tips with us!!!!

[@IICockyENT]

I'm prepping to replace alternator in a 2011 XC60 tomorrow, I'll be back with the good news, video has me feeling very optimistic

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Let me know if you have any questions.

[@nytexsun]

I have a 2012 XC60 with 125,000. The warning charging light came on and the pulley had spun loose too. Your video saved me. Great instructions and directions. I went ahead and installed a new alternator and I'm sure I saved at least $1000 compared to what the dealer would charge for a new alternator. I did crack the Engine Coolant Recovery Tank Hose at the base of the elbow ($30) I have a clamp and electrical tape until I can order the new hose. I appreciate all the hard work putting videos like this online.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Thank you.

[@g-groovie]

@@TheVolvoGuy Happy New Year. Thanks so much for your videos. My 2012 XC60 keeps throwing the P0430 system catalyst system efficiency below threshold, bank 2. I’ve tried different additives but I works like to change or clean the O2 sensors. There aren’t any videos on KZbin. Any tips? Thanks

[@TheVolvoGuy]

@Gregory Glover unfortunately you have a faulty catalytic converter, replacing O2 sensor or additives will not fix it.

[@100pyatt]

​@@g-groovie it's worth trying the laquer thinner cleaning trick on the catalytic before changing it

[@MattLawhonMusic]

Perfect. My wife’s alternator quit last week, so this is my first alternator to replace myself. I actually did find that common problem of the bolt backing out on the alternator pulley, so thank you for mentioning that

[@MattLawhonMusic]

Super helpful!

[@wwatson04]

This just happened with my wife's truck. We all thought it was the alternator only. Come to find out it was the clutch not the pulley. We replaced the bolt on the clutch and tightened to specs! You just saved me a ton of money! Thanks my man!

[@patrickpunsalan9732]

Hi sir, how much torque did you use to tightened the clutch bolt on the alternator?

Getting my alternator replaced on my 2007 Volvo XC90 V8 at 170,000 miles . Its one heck of a job. I guess the brushes have worn out inside the voltage regulator. I am curious to see once we disassemble the old one.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Hope it worked out.

[@waynew5521]

The problem start with the both (triangle symbol and the battery symbol light came on and both were red') car drove for 5min then died in nearby Gas station thank god for that Thanks to your video it was the bolt that was loose like you said to check before you replace any parts i used my finger to check and i noticed i could turn it clockwise and counter clockwise Was able to return both the new alternator and pulley All we did was replace the bolt WITH LOCK TIGHT GLUE just to be safe i Its been 3days now and Truck is running and charging perfect " thanks a gain)))))

@thevolvoguy just replaced alternator. Still not getting proper charging voltage. Digging deeper and I'm reading to need to possibly reset bms. Any tips or ideas?

[@MrGgb73]

Thanks for the great video! I have a question about the pulley you are showing at 4 minutes into the video. On my car I can spin it as well as the alternator with the engine off. Im assuming its not supposed to do that. I'm getting a loud squeal coming from there when I run the engine. Also the battery doesn't seem to be charging. I'm thinking that pulley may be the culprit. Do you have any videos of changing this pulley out? When I looked up the part I think it was called the alternator clutch gear and flange screw. You also mentioned there were special tools for this install. Do you have the part numbers for the tools?

[@nathanwhite7295]

my car is making the same noise did u ever figure it out

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Sorry, I did not see your comment.

[@mascho22]

i have an 07 xc90 3.2 190k and the "power system service urgent" warning msg came on today and windows/seats etc stopped working. My scanner showed charging volts was normal at 14 but then it went to 16 and then 17V after a couple minutes! Found the small coolant hose above the intake had coolant seepage residue all over it so it must have dripped straight down onto the alternator and shorted something. I yanked the intake (NOT FUN) and will try replacing just the VR to see if problem goes away. If not, new alternator.

[@steliandragomir6815]

Hi. Ref the alternator pulley, is there a seal inside that can leak? Because I have an oil leak from there, as far as I can see. I replaced the seal on the other side, towards the AC compressor, but I still have a leak from that area.

[@paulbrown6285]

Thanks for the video it was very helpful. I replaced my alternator on 2009 s80 3.2 . When I took the alternator off the gear was loose. I thought I got it tight. Well you know the problem. Alternator is not spinning because of the gear loosen up again. So I'm going to have to take it apart again. What tools do I need to fix and tighten the gear. Thank you Paul T Brown

[@TheVolvoGuy]

There is not much tool needed but replace the pulley and use a new bolt and some lock tight.

[@mouralessable]

Very clear explanation and sharp video. I am a layman w/2008 lr2 with possible timing chain or tensioner issue. How can the chain be easily checked for looseness?

You will need 999 7258 counter hold and the bolt you get from the dealer part number 982817 the pulley number 30750136.

[@JD-lc8sd]

Hello glad I found this video! Helping a friend do theirs on their 2011 XC60 tomorrow & had a couple questions. 1. Hope & pray that pulley isn't spinning but if it is, can I not try tightening that center bolt down? If worth trying, what is torque spec? 2. Saying that's good, also wondering torque specs for 4 bolts that hold alternator, & 12 bolts for intake manifold. Thanks a bunch in advance if you'd be so kind as to take time to answer my questions!

[@kristagranieri1917]

Thanks. Great video...if I don't have a "secret tool" can I just pull those peices off and tap them into the new alternator?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Yes you can but you have to tap pins back in

[@georgehofgren6123]

Hi, Great videos and help 😊 My xc70 has thrown the "urgent charging system" warning for a few years... just occasionally. Can't recall if the battery idiot light comes on. Anyway, i used to think it was the 'loose pulley bolt' situation, but after all these years i'm thinking it should just spin free by now and require the bolt to be torqued. (i did have batteries dying, but just needed the Sirius/satellite jumper). What could cause the warning to pop up so randomly, infrequently. Also, could the decoupled pulley be the problem? Does anything happen if that fails? 🤔 thx

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Thank you. The light could come on for many different reasons it could be the alternator the control wire or battery voltage.

[@RyanMorse-ee7ep]

​@TheVolvoGuy i removed my alternator seal and dowels were missing. That bolt also was red loctited in. I think there was a subpar alternator job done in the past. Do you have any idea where i can find those dowels or how important they are?

[@greybeardnharg3992]

Awesome video, Sir! Do you normally see the coupler spinning when the engine is running? I'm assuming the answer is yes, but checking to confirm. What is the diameter and length of the alignment bolt you used?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Yes you will see it spinning. I honestly never Measured it.

[@alexandrebarboza3867]

Could you give more details about the pulley of the alternator, my LR2 pulley is back out a little bit, how I can replace it with that special tool

sorry I did not get back to you sooner. do you still need the Info?

[@kevindesmarteau4422]

@thevolvoguy The drive on the right is super sloppy, it is like the bearings are worn out. For the life I me I cannot figure out how to replace them. Do I have to pull the timing cover? Any help would be much appreciated!.

[@davidcutter8485]

Thanks for a great video, very clear in explaining the steps and noting special elements that make it easier. I'm interested in the special tool for the for the installation of the toothed drive pully on the alternator side of the gear housing. The bolt backed out on my car thus I need to replace per your guidance. Can you advise what the tool # is for the installation tool?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Yes I will get you the tool number I would use couple of drops of lock tight.

There are two tools for the pulley, one is 303-1278 Aligner, Timing Cover and the other is 303-502, Socket, Flywheel Bolt.

[@jasonfogel2780]

Great video. About to tackle this soon. I would like a little more info on the decoupler pulley. Mechanic quoted me stupid high on an alternator job saying that he believes the decoupler pulley also needs changed. He quoted me $1600. I'm about to have the car towed back to my house to do myself. Just want to know what i woulc potentially be getting my self into with the pulley and seal. I was going to buy an alternator kit and decoupler/seal kit from FCPEuro.

[@joey1917]

Great Job, Thank you, do you change the intake casket when you do open this, also I have the 2012 XC70, I had an alignment and they told me that the rear tire Camber is out and they are not able to adjust to specs, I have changed the rear control arms and they told me the same thing on the second alignment, what is your opinion, mine that the place I took it to don't understand this car

[@TheVolvoGuy]

If the gaskets look okay and not dry i reuse them. As far as the alignment check the trailing arm bushings.

[@DavidTOBerry]

Great video. I have all the bolts out and it moves a little but it does not want to come loose. Any suggestions? I don't want to try and lubricate it or hit it with a rubber hammer. I don't see those dowel pins.

[@DavidTOBerry]

I figured it out. It was those alternator spacers/sleeves that were corroded. I was able to actually save them to reuse. Are they absolutely necessary?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Yes, they are needed to hold the alternator tight since the bolts are going to hold the alternator from moving up or down.

[@wanghan2083]

Please kindly advise the torque of the loosing blot. Thank you so much.

Hey guys I have a 2011 Volvo s60T6AWD and when the car is at regulator temp and I accelerate slow at 600 to 800 RPMs it creates a lout rattle. Can it be that the alternator coupler bearing gone bad ? I had my wife accelerate and bring the RPMs to no more than 800rpms and I can see the belt that goes on the alternator move sideways just a bit. I want to replace but before doing so I would like some info if I should replace the alternator pulley like in this video?

You have to lower the engine by loosening the 3 bolts for the motor mount. Make sure not to drop it too much you can use a floor jack to support the engine if you do that then you can remove the engine mount completely.

Thanks for the detailed timing chain videos, I just finished watching them all. After talking to my local Volvo mechanic I've decided to wait on the timing chain as there's no issues with it currently, but I am replacing the auxiliary belt, tensioner and idler pulley as well as the water pump. My question is, the water pump is as straight forward as it looks right? (No special tools, I don't have to pull the outer timing cover etc) I have a 2013 S60 T6 R-Design

[@TheVolvoGuy]

@@isaiahmoore626 that is correct you just unbolt it an bolt the new one on. No special tools or anything else

[@waynew5521]

i have a problem where i replace the alternator thinking thats the problem but even with the new alternator in its not spinning to charge the battery i notice in the yur video you said the bolt or the pulley might need replacing car starts but dies after batter juice deteriorate ....alternator not turning

[@TheVolvoGuy]

The pulley that drives the alternator on the engine side the bolt backs off and the alternator does not turn. Replace the pulley and the bolt.

[@bedandbreakfastfan7088]

This is a tremendous help. Thanks for making this video. What mileage have you seen these alternators go bad on the XC60?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

I have seen them go as early as 75k miles

@@100pyatt that's nuts sorry to hear. I've seen this message randomly one time. It was something loose and not the alternator itself. Might want to make sure you check everything before replacing it

Hi, Would you have the torque specs for the 4 alternator to engine mounting bolts and the seven 10mm plenum bolts? Can't seem to find that anywhere. Thanks in advance!

[@TheVolvoGuy]

I'm not sure why, but I never saw your comment.

[@studiosputnik39]

If anyone has the answer to these two torque specs, that would be great. Thx.

[@knoxflyer101]

are you still taking questions on this channel? My XC90 is getting high mileage (240K) and will likely be doing this alternator/belt/seal job soon. My engine is leaking oil in a couple of places now. It also burns or uses 3 quarts between oil changes.

[@selimkandaz5014]

Hello sir, Belt moving while tightening the coupler bold , the screw cannot be tightened. How can I tighten bold? I searched online but couldn't find any special tool for that. Thank you

[@TheVolvoGuy]

There is a tool to hold the pully so you torque the drive pully.

[@legalpapermusic7639]

Helpful Indeed👍🏿

Thank you.

I have an issue with an aftermarket catalytic converter. The check engine light (P0420) is still on after i replaced it and the 2 o2 sensors. (These are oem). Do you have any experience with aftermarket cats? 2012 xc60 3.2 awd

[@TheVolvoGuy]

After market CAT'S don't work most of the time, I never used them.

[@chriscopenhaver8567]

After putting everything back together and jump starting the new battery, I have reduced engine performance code, check engine light and traction control temporarily off. I tried letting it run for awhile and restarting it 3 times. Any other ideas? Unfortunately I let someone borrow my code reader yesterday.

[@chriscopenhaver8567]

The new battery that I replaced before realizing the alternator was bad is holding 12.3 volt charge with engine off.

[@TheVolvoGuy]

Check the throttle connector. Also, I have seen a new noun dealer alternator to be bad out of the box. Make sure you have good charging voltage with the engine running.

[@IICockyENT]

The "Special tool" Do I NEED it or is it just helpful to get the hole open a bit more for the bottom bolts ?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

The tool helps to push the pins back in the block.

[@IICockyENT]

@@TheVolvoGuy is it super difficult without the special tool ? Like if I don’t have it, what is my other option ? I’m starting in the morning 8AM central

What are the toque specs on the intake manifold ?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

17 Nm

[@ballsmahoney8684]

When putting the intake manifold back on, I’m replacing the 6 gaskets...do I have you use some kind of sealant? A dab of motor oil?

[@TheVolvoGuy]

No nothing at all just make sure the intake on the engine side is clean and dry.
