P2 XC70 2007 owner here! THANK YOU FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM description. I have been chasing a P0089 fault for 9 months, replacing everything except the pump. About to change the pump (with help). Wish me luck!

Happy to help, Ike! Good luck!

[@willjr2520]

Did your problem go away after replacing the fuel pump? What else did you change that did not work?

[@BapedRacon]

R owner here with 276k miles on it, I’ve done a lot of these recommended repairs, more than others because it did fail. All I can say is, take care of the Moose, and the Moose will run happy.

[@martinhaire1997]

I had idling issues with my 2007 V70. After some research, I decided to grab a can of Throttle Clearer at NAPA. I removed the ETB from the intake manifold and sprayed the crap out of it. I was very very dirty. I also cleaned the MAF Sensor with a the special cleaner for that too. One or both did the trick … It has been well over 100k miles since doing that and not issues.

Hey, im wondering if it worth it to buy p2 volvo? Im basically dont know anything about maintenance? Does it really expensive and does it need it expensive? I only know to change oil. Please tell me ur experience....

[@samabbad5112]

@@2crackhead6 I think it's definitely worth owning if you don't mind doing the repairs yourself:, what's nice is that FCP euro has done videos on almost every repair that those cars need, so you wouldn't be on ur own! Before buying the car though, you have to make sure that it's at least in decent shape or else you'll have a lot of extra work to do: here's some criticals to check for before buying: timing belt (so important), PCV system (check it via glove test), check for leaks & that electricals in the car aren't funky. I'd say these cars require some more attention than Hondas and Toyotas, but if maintained right, they can outlast them!

[@fcpeuro]

Good to know Barry!

[@willriley1619]

I think changing the fuel filter is very important on Volvos. Every P2 I've ever changed the fuel filter on had black oily looking gas in it. The car wont even act like anything is wrong but that gas cant be good for the engine. I feel like they are rarely changed likely because the diagnostic tool says something else like maybe a bad MAF. Thats probably the first thing anyone should do on their Volvo if they are unsure if its been chaged, because chances are its the original filter. It's probably the easiest thing you can do on these cars and they are cheap like $30 or less. That's just my opinion though.

[@fcpeuro]

Definitely something to look into! Fuel filter is great do as part of your regular maintenance

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Some later P2's made gor the California market have fuel filters built into the pump, non serviceable. Have to wait until the pump fails. My 2007 V70 base is like that.

[@HhhGggg-rz7bu]

Your opinion is correct. My dad has a 2005 s60 with 154k miles and I realized it probably still had the original fuel filter and promptly changed it.

[@MM-vv8mt]

Great overview video, and have replaced many of these systems on my various Swedish P2 Hjoopties. I'm now getting a persistent P0302 code (2002 V70 X/C with 2.4 low pressure turbo, 175K mi) that came on suddenly last week, and swapping out the plugs, coil, and fuel injectors doesn't fix it, and I have good electrical power and connections to the injectors and coils; and it's making a pretty noticeable tapping sound from the vicinity of #2 cylinder that is really noticeable when the oil fill cap is removed. I've heard that a part of the PVC plumbing, a little v-shaped vacuum check valve pipe that connects with a banjo bolt to the underside of the intake manifold and which connects via hoses to the thermostat housing, the oil box, the main PVC hose and to a vacuum line, which, if it fails, will allow a small check valve ball and spring to get sucked down into the oil box and up into the breather hose to the top of the valve cover, and into the head of #2 cylinder, and which then gets stuck in the head or the valve, causing the tapping and the intermittent P0302 misfire code. Now that I have the intake manifold off and have visually inspected the PVC hose and components, I do see that it is all in need of replacement, which of course I will buy from FCPEuro!, but I wonder if I should also pull the valve covers off and inspect the intake cam shaft and lifters, or even pull the head and visually inspect the valves and see if there is indeed debris from the failed PVC system rattling around in the head before I replace the PVC components and put the intake manifold on and put it all together again. I have snaked a magnet down into #2 head via the spark plug port, the FI port, and the intake manifold port, but haven't caught anything with it. Anyone ever have the same problem? I'd appreciate any insights.Thanks! And please keep these videos coming, guys!

[@Dark_Viking]

Thanks for the video. Everything is simple and great! Now, we're waiting for the similar video about B6294T engine )))

[@FitnessSheriff]

Great vid. I had the coil harness plastic all dry and crack, wire insulation melted and shorted together and caused crazy misfiring...the coil harness I believe coil 3, bends the wires so aggressively, that's where they wore through. Was an easy fix but hard to spot at first, had already pulled all coils and plugs to test. Also, having the transmission hard shifting issues showing up, but read one comment about someone who said it only showed up on 1/4 tank or less, so I filled mine full and all rough gear change symptoms are gone... 2007 XC70

[@legambaz]

The P2 PCV system is the biggest antagonist to what could have been a beautiful engine. The idea could have been salvaged by Volvo acknowledging the flaw and correct it with properly designed parts and also sell the parts at reasonable price. Currently, buying the 'flawed' PCV parts is as painful as getting poison ivy. The labor to get the job done is just as bad. The electronic throttle body is another pain in the butt! I've learnt not to trust Xemodex for one as a replacement. I would either bite the bullet and buy a brand new one or get a used one from a yard. Turbo model to turbo model. N/A to N/A would be fine without software for my experience. Whatever it is, i would steer clear from Xemodex at all cost. This has been an excellent video Bravo FCP! Buying from FCP makes a lot of sense.

Agree on electronic throttle module. Had two '02 V70s, and both needed new modules. $$$

It's amazing how there is a familiarity to the sound of a Volvo engine as it idles, even over different engine designs. I have been driving Volvos since 1970. Also, are Volvo dealership service departments willing to provide technical information for the DIY market these days?

[@alexmessina3383]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. If I may, a question. I am dealing with a 640A code on a B5244S non-turbo engine with one intake phaser only. I replaced an open-circuited Cam Reset Valve, which was showing no movement on scan tool. I now have movement of the phaser. BUT the Actual Cam Angle, as per the scantool measurement, is consistently about half of the Desired Cam Angle called for by the PCM. I understand that the 640A can set if the Cam Angle varions is greater than 10deg for more than 15sec? I am suspecting the phaser hub is binding or for some reason not fully actuating?? Possibly, this caused failure of the Cam Reset Valve windings as the PCM continues to try to full phase the cam by holding a maximum Pulse Width Modulation, maybe overloading windings over time. Wondering what your overall thoughts are on this??

Very informative! I've recently acquired an xc90 2.4 D5 awd and it tends to decide when it would start and when not to. It cranks at times, starts and many times it just sounds clicks from the relays. Do you guys have any experience with the error message "Start prevented please try again" which shows on the dashboard? I've checked all relays and fuses, there's only 1 key, I've tried the lock and unlock sequence, replacing batteries both in the fob and car itself and the issue remains. Waiting on a diagnostic to be in the next day or so but thought I'll reach out in Case someone has experience with this.

I have a p2 xc70 2005 with 132XXX miles that has bad engine shaking lost of power and fuel economy and this problem worsens when the a/c is being used.

I recently got a cheap Volvo with apparently blown engine. The old owner went through 3 seals and they always failed after 2-3 months. PCV was completely clogged so I got that car, replaced all seals on the engine, replaced the PCV and it was running fine. But I have another question, before deciding to potentially die because of how boring the car is on the interior, I was looking at a 2002 C Class with some 2.2l gasoline engine. It was driving fine, no issues with acceleration but then I was checking how the engine runs. I removed the oil filling cap and it began spitting oil from the engine. Was that also something to do with similar system to the PCV or was that some more serious issue. I never seen something like that before but the engine oil itself didn't contain any coolant or anything else according to my small engine oil quick test kit

[@alfredocalpito9439]

The PCV BOX comes in 2 different types...Are they interchangeable??? I have 2004 non turbo, this is not a rocket science to solve but I prefer an after market even if I have to do the plumbing to which it would be easier to clean the box...

If you are willing to be creative with the plumbing you can probably make it work, but its always best to use the correct part!

[@devilz6]

Good video, but you forgot to mention probably the biggest flaw of these whiteblocks; the oil O-rings between the oil pan and the lower block. They tend to deform and this will cause an oil pressure loss (and will ruin your engine)

Great point! Definitely something to look out for!

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Sealing between oil pan and lower block is accomplished with anaerobic sealant which lasts a very long time from the factory. Perhaps you mean the oil cooler o-rings which fit to the pan?

[@AB-hx9hs]

@@richardpflieger2049 5000 miles or less ? Doesn't the manual recommends 7500 or 10,000 with synthetic oil ? when you say let engine fully heat up...I assume you mean while driving it, not sitting in place for it to warm up or revving it? Thank you.

[@frankcrank6262]

@@AB-hx9hs the Volvo service schedule is designed for your car to fall apart after 100k miles. Oil is one of the easiest fluids to replace, yet one of the most critical that if neglected will cause very expensive problems. If you drive your car the following way: - lots of stop and go traffic - frequent, short trips - driving in areas with a lot of pollution (basically anywhere that isn't the open, rural country) Driving this way (the way the vast majority of people drive) is considered a "severe" driving condition, and therefore requires more frequent maintenance. Compare the Volvo service schedule with a Toyota one; Toyota recommends more frequent oil changes (especially under the "severe" driving conditions, which is basically everyone), and also recommends more frequent changes of every fluid. If you're asking yourself "what does Toyota have to do with Volvo?", just take a look at your Volvo's transmission: it's made by Aisin-Warner (now Aisin- Seiki), a transmission manufacturer owned by..... Toyota! The transmission in your Volvo is basically a Toyota transmission! And now compare the transmission fluid service schedule: Volvo says " check/adjust fluid", and that the fluid is "fill for life". Toyota recommends regular transmission fluid changes. No transmission fluid is "fill for life", and what following the Volvo schedule will do is cause your transmission to fail somewhere between 100-200k miles. In summary, read the Volvo service schedule, laugh, and throw it away. Consult with a good, honest mechanic about proper maintenance schedules for all of the fluids/ filters/ etc, and make your own schedule; do this and you will see that your Volvo will easily make it to 300k miles and beyond with almost no costly repairs

Is it possible to clean the PCV system without replacing almost all parts?

You can clean some of the components such as the air oil separator box, however the hoses and lines that get hard and brittle after time should be replaced. If you can replace the components, its best to in order to avoid doing this job again in the near future.

That could be caused by a number of things. One possibility is simply oil spilling into the spark plug valley when topping the car up with oil, another possibility is the oil cap seal itself is bad causing oil to drip down into the spark plug valley. Also, check the health of your PCV system by doing the glove test as shown in this video. Is the car running well still?

My high-mileage B5244T3 suffers from stalling while idling, uneven idle and uneven power under acceleration. When I disconnect the exhaust valve solenoid the idle problem goes away and acceleration is better, but the car still shuts off rarely on idle. I'm guessing I need to clean/change the solenoid and something else too?

[@fcpeuro]

Starting with the solenoid would be good, if it's getting a bad reading (which you can assume because the porblem is solved when its disconncted), once that's fixed you can move down the diagnostic tree from there is other problems persist

I have a 2007 s60r that shuts down when stopping, but only later in the day. Did you find a fix for your issue?

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

@@Romanlegion1990 Hello , might you be able to share what the problem was with your car ? And what the fix was ? Any help is much appreciated .

[@Romanlegion1990]

@@ThunderbirdRocket We had to change the throttle body, but the dealership had to reprogram the computer because it would not start after changing it. It runs great now. It was my wife’s car, 6 months ago she bought a 2024 Subaru and gave the car to her dad. He drive it 80 miles per day for work and has had no issues. We also changed the timing belt when we changed the throttle body.

11:50 If you're good with soldering I'm sure you can crack open the assembly.

Can you Swap a V70 High Pressure Engine into a 2006 2.5T XC90?

[@Mr_BUSINESS_24_7]

Is this ALL the common fail engine items for the P2 RN engines ? Anything else ?

[@alexanderlindh3557]

i dont know what the P2 engine is, is it the T5 that came in the 850 and later generation or those he mean the straight 6 that came in the 960?

[@fcpeuro]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqa5dpyhhtmFn8U This should help clarify any questions like that you may have!

[@t5tuned705]

So are these things the same for 2.4D?

[@fcpeuro]

The Diesel engine is a bit different.

[@MrJunebug48]

Wait I thought the 2005 Volvo s60r is non interference engine so that doesn't apply if that is a issue with the valves clashing with the piston?

[@tedbrookins]

Great engine, IS interference. If you do pulley, pump, and belt by 80-100k miles, you should be good.

[@brianseiferth2681]

Is your statement true at 2:42 that the RN engine comes with a forged crank and forged rods from the factory? On all RN engines not just the "R" engines? Block down are these engines all the same it's in the head, turbo, injectors and tune that the LPT engine is different from the HPT engines?

[@josephstevens4032]

Yes but also different size turbo and compression ratio. If you have a manual still for your car, it states the differences 😊
