Volvo V50 1.6 Diesel - Blocked FUEL FILTER with just 15 000 kilometers?

[@NilsKall]

Good that you keep everything clean when you work with the fuel system👍

[@JuhaErkkila]

Yep... Can not be too clean when doing something with diesel injection or hydraulics.

[@Gandeloft]

I've just replaced the fuel filter in my 1.6D 2008 C30. Thanks on this video!

[@JuhaErkkila]

Thanks!

[@wonkylommiter6364]

Thank you for taking the time to open up the filter and show us! I am going to change this filter on my V50 when the part arrives, mine was changed 5 years ago so I will change it, do you need to drain water from the filter housing regularly? Love your helpful videos, Subscribed ;-)

[@JuhaErkkila]

Im no expert in these just sharing my thoughts! 😉 I quess this was more like shitty fuel from gas station one time event... But of course adding biofuel causes some kind of biologigal growth into the fuel also and Im having some problems of that in one tractor... Five years is quite long time fuel filter so it is good to do it now 😱 - Then you dont have to do it on the road! 😉😝

Hi! Great video. I used this method and it started directly, however after sitting for a few days it seemed to have trapped some air inside the filter and it wouldn't start until some more pumping was done with the hand pump. Did you end up experiencing something similar?

[@JuhaErkkila]

Thanks for watching and commenting... No i havent had any problems afterwards. Once the filter did not seal properly but then this deairing did not work at all since it was suctioning directly air... had to reassemble filter then properly to make it function. But no other air problems encountered during 100k+ with this car.

[@fjls69]

@@JuhaErkkila thank you. Do you happen to know which fuel line on the filter goes to where? I'm trying to see if I might have mixed up the lines and it's now running backwards. The one with the arrow should be the tank and the other return, or?

[@JuhaErkkila]

@@fjls69 Hello. Unfortunately I don't remember which one is the suction and return... I mix those lines almost every time when startin to deair the assembled filter (trying to suck from the return and no fuel comes to filter cartridge). From filters point of view fuel should come from the bottom to allow possible water collecting on the empty space in the bottom of filter. So in that sence those suction line should be connected to correct stud to provide filling... but like said I don't remember it and strucle with identifying those lines every time

[@jp695021]

Hi @JuhaErkkila, I may seem to have similar problem, hoping its filter for V50 summen 1.6D. Not sure I saw in the video if it wasnt necessary to prefill the fuel filter with diesel on the main container as well as purge prior to mounting? Or did you pump the fuel in after the mount? Great video:-). Thanks

[@JuhaErkkila]

Thanks Joe. Filter was completely dry when mounting and it is possible to fill it with that suction pump. Hoping that filter change solves Your issues too!!!

[@radubogdan100]

How it is that is started so amooth after that filter change?

[@JuhaErkkila]

I took all the air away from the liness with that hand pump so it should run smooth

[@radubogdan100]

@@JuhaErkkila I re-watched after, first time I skipped that part. There is no other way as... Don't know, keep the ignition longer or put the ignition more times?

[@JuhaErkkila]

@@radubogdan100 I dont now fully understand what you mean with ignition... Maybe starting of the engine. I dont want to stress the starter or engine with empty fuel filter. It can even destroy some internal seals inside high pressure pump when pressure build up with air involved... cheap insurance just to deair the filter before attempting starting the engine

[@radubogdan100]

@@JuhaErkkila ignition means to turn the key to the second level, not turning on the engine, but the indicators are switched on on the board.

[@JuhaErkkila]

@@radubogdan100 Aaa I see... I dont know how this car behaves but if it would be well engineered it could fill the filter with electric fuel pump. In my diagnosis unit there is also a program for that prefill but it did not work

[@pjaborges]

Very good video and excellent that you have shown also how to bleed the filter! Just wondering what were the symptoms before you change it? Was the engine stopping suddenly`(stalling)?

[@JuhaErkkila]

Symptoms started after refueling car... When accelerating to freeway motor started to jerk and lost top part of the power range creating jerky drive with higher than 80kmh speeds... I drove still some 250 kilometers to get back to my carage to change this filter ... During this 250 drive the worst part of the problem kind of disappeared probably due that shit in the filter got somehow little dissolved or diesel made some passage through shit layer or something like that🤷 I quess this PSA 1.6l diesel is a little bit picky on cleanliness of the fuel filter so needs to be driven with relatively clean filters only 😉

[@Tony-ei1zj]

Nice thanks. What was that tool called you used to pump the fuel through the filter?

[@JuhaErkkila]

Thanks! Pump is "manual oil change pump"... This one www.biltema.fi/en-fi/boat/boat-motor/boat-motor-care/oil-change-pumps/oil-changing-pump-manual-2000019997

[@Tony-ei1zj]

Do you know what size hose diameter fits over the fuel filter?

[@JuhaErkkila]

10mm fits loosely directly on top of quick connector stud in the filter housing. Might need a hose clamp (or not) to make it tigth enough to suck vacuum

[@kjell-petterhaarstad7429]

Wich year is that V50 from?

[@JuhaErkkila]

I believe it is 2012 and it is classic model so should be last in it`s series

Mitä Juha olet tykännyt volvosta? Itselle katsellut kanssa noita loppupään 1.6d malleja

[@JuhaErkkila]

Moroo! Kyllähän tuo itellä on hyvin pelannu, kun on nyt vuoden kokolailla mulla ollu... 720 kilsaa tulee viikossa työmatka-ajoo ja kulutus on 5,2-5,5 L/100km haarukassa tankkaamalla mitattuna ja sen ~35 tkm oon nyt rullaillu tolla. Ja jos auto makso sen 6 tonnia inan päälle, niin ei tosta hirveesti enää pysty kulupuolta pienentään. Paskassa loskakelissäkin kulkee suht ennakoitavasti, mutta mikään tykki toi ei nyt tietenkään oo, vaikka kyllä rekoistakin ohi viä pääsee ;) Ainoot viat tänä aikana on ollu tää suodattimen tukkeutuminen ja just eilen kyrvähti alkuperänen akku. Pari kertaa öljyt vaihtanu ja eteen uudet jarruosat... Kaikki on suhteellista, mutta ihan hyvä ostos omasta mielestä on toistaseks ollu kyllä

[@Simpura69]

@@JuhaErkkila hienoa kuulla. Tiedossa kyllä on ettei tuo kone nyt mikään raketti ole, mutta sen ei tarvitsekaan olla. Ihan perus arkikäyttöön tulossa. Onko minkäänlaisia ruostevaivoja ollut? Tuntuis noissakin nyt viime aikoina vähän hinnat nousseet.

[@JuhaErkkila]

@@Simpura69 Ei nyt vielä oo ruostevaivaa, mutta varmaan jossain heti kulman takana on jo vartoilemassa... Hankala sanoo. En tiiä olisko vielä lisäaikaa jollain kotelosuojalla tms loihdittavissa kun paljoo mitää ei vielä näkyvissä ole... Semmonen asia tuli mieleen, että kyllähän toi suht nykyaikanen dieseli hiukkasloikkuineen tykkää, että sillä ajetaan. Mikään ihan jatkuva nurkka-ajo tommoselle ei parhaiten sovi, kun sitten alkaa oleen pöntöt helpolla tukossa.

[@jaakkosaine8618]

Loppuiko nykiminen? Itsellä Volvon 2.4 D, 140 tuhatta ajettu ! Ei vielä moista ongelmaa ollut?

[@JuhaErkkila]

Taitaa olla tuon ranskalaisdiesselin ominaisuus, että herkkä polttoainesuodattimelle... Ja kyllä se nykyminen loppu ✌️👍

[@NilsKall]

Did it solve the problem?

[@JuhaErkkila]

Yes the problem was solved with this... 1.6 liter seems to be quite sensitive for the fuel filter cleanliness.

[@carlosipec2270]

@@JuhaErkkila - For what it's worth ALL diesel are very picky regarding clean diesel filter. I've had several of these 1.6D, never a single issue. I guess because I change them regularly. ;-) But curiously the only diesel filter issue was a Toyota Yaris D4D...

@@JuhaErkkilathank you. I am about to change the fuel filter. Are these engines sensitive for filter change? Seems to work well with the pump.

[@JuhaErkkila]

@@MarlinShooters I believe you need to do deairing of the filter properly... And engine seems to be picky about cloggy filter so it needs to changed quite often.
