Fixing leaking Vacuum Pump on Volvo 6 cylinder 3.2 and T6 engines.

[@dylanlane2347]

Appreciate the video and the detail provide. I suspected the vacuum pump was where our leak originated and this video helped confirm that. I removed the vacuum pump, cleaned the engine bay, ordered a new kit and put it all back together with little downtime. Good news - no leaks!!! Thanks for the helpful tutorial.

[@StevenOchs-d6r]

I just completed this repair on my 2009 Volvo V70 3.2. I used this video as an instruction and guide. It was spot on! Thank you for your clear and concise video.

[@Dingeraye1]

This is a really well done video. I like the fact that you describe exactly which tools are needed, and the way you cleaned up the pump. Very thorough and well explained. It's so well done, I got my daughter to watch the video and do the job!

[@johnli8459]

This is one of the common problems to Volvo P3 engine. I followed this video to fix my oil pump seal leaking. Thx

[@noneofyodamnbidness6373]

Dude, I don't even own a Volvo at this time (had (2) XC70 that my wife destroyed! But, after watching several of your very detailed videos I am seriously thinking about another purchase. Thanks for what you do...Keep it coming! Great job!

[@ppellet4738]

My 3.2 XC60 was at the Volvo dealership for a recall and they discovered that the vacuum pump was leaking and offered to fix it for $370. I found the OEM part on line for $76. I’ll be fixing that myself. Many, many thanks to you!!!! I’ve made a number of repairs myself to my fleet of Volvos because of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make these extremely useful videos!!!!

[@GreySergio]

Thanks a lot for this video - today having no experience I have replaced seals on my 2008 non-turbo 3.2 vacuum pump in 2 hours. Also have to remove two A/C bolts. Only one difference - I have not take a risk to clean surfaces with sandpaper, brakecleaner was good enough.

[@DrDodge24]

Thank you so much for this. The pump on my XC60 is spewing oil everywhere! Glad I can fix it on my own thanks to your video.

[@pgreenx]

around what milage/yrs did this happen?

[@DrDodge24]

[@janwillemketelaar]

Is your XC60 a T6? I have a MY ‘14 XC60. Does this issue also comes by the 2.0 D4 5 cyl engines?

[@simonbeveridge1211]

G'day, so I did this yesterday on my '08 V70 T6. Too easy. Thanks heaps. I got the parts from Tasca Parts. Excellent price and service out of the states. IT is ridiculous that I can import genuine parts to Australia cheaper than I can get them at my local dealers. I replaced both my drivers side engine mounts as well since I was in there. Pretty easy but if it comes up, others might benefit from that video. Cheers

[@1design23]

Great video again. It is easier to get to the vacuum pump on the non-turbo 3.2 engine. Removing the battery and battery tray make it very easy to remove the pump and no need to loosen the bracket for the AC compressor.

[@chinesestunna]

Thank you so much for all your videos, they have such good depth and insights! I just did this job on a 2013 XC60 that's losing about a quart every 1500 miles. I studied this video in detail before starting and had it playing on my laptop the entire job in the background. It was like having you watching over me while doing it and the entire job took about 2 hours :)

[@volvosweden]

Glad the video helped!

[@chinesestunna]

It was! Doing transmission oil over weekend, I actually took the opportunity with this job while the fill bolt was exposed to loosen it, prepping for new job (and of course using that video you made as well)

[@volvosweden]

Nice. Do you have Vida to reset the counter after transmission oil change?

[@chinesestunna]

volvosweden I will tomorrow when USPS delivers it :). I have VIDA running in a VM on laptop ready to go, a bit nervous but very excited. First time flashing anything to a car

[@hondatyper5848]

Hello, I want to ask you, before the repair of the vacuum pump you had oil consumption and after you repaired it the consumption decreased. I will wait for your answer. Thank you.

[@cameronprice]

Excellent and thorough video. I'm diagnosing a noise I heard on the coldest day last winter that returned yesterday. Initially I thought it was the water pump or idler pulley. Yesterday's symptoms seem to indicate the power steering pump is the problem - vibration, noise, small amount of fluid on driver's side lower cross member. I topped up the reservoir but will wait until I have obtained a replacement power steering pump. Your video confirms that I followed the proper sequence; stopping short of removing the battery. I already purchased a replacement water pump and serpentine belt, so I'll replace these at the same time. As far as I can see, removing the battery plate is the only access to these parts. Thank you .... Cam

[@johnwausau64]

I like the ''helper'' with the red boots ! I used to have one like that... he did not slow things down too much. Now he is an MD, Pathologist.

[@ralphrey474]

I recently changed the vacuum seal on my 09 XC70. Easy after following this video. Best of all my fuel economy has improved significantly which i didn't expect.

[@CMC5961]

Very helpful instruction, thank you for sharing. I just got mine replaced today, which saved me about $250 on labor. On my 2012 Volvo S60 T6, the serviceability was improved - once the battery bracket being removed, the two screws on vacuum pump can be easily accessed and removed, it makes much easier to remove the pump than on XC70.

[@soylentgreen2065]

VolvoSweden, another excellent video. thank you very much! And DO NOT go to the trouble of doing this without also replacing the serpentine belt. Yes, a little more work but a lot less than if you dont

[@pgreenx]

Any good videos on the aero belt for a p3 3.2 engine. I heard it was a lot of work?

[@rashad.]

Thanks a lot for video and parts. You just cant imagine how much you saving money for ordinary people! Молодец!!!

[@stevehudson4151]

Thanks for the response. I have been looking at the pump online and it appears to have openings that would allow oil to pass into the pump. Maybe the oil lubricates the rubber blade and is part of the design. The oil leak appears to come mostly from the engine to pump union. Just a guess on my end. Thanks for the great video.

[@ericpritchard2427]

Thanks for the video and detailed instructions. You gave me the confidence to attempt such task. I performed this fix yesterday on my xc60 t6. Very similar layout in the engine bay.

[@volvosweden]

+Eric Pritchard Nice. Glad I could help.

[@noelussurpemus]

Thank you so much for your videos. You make me want to get a. 2008 Xc70. I'd been worried that they were going to be so much newer and computerized..but it's good to see there's still a lot that can be done without a dealer or reprogramming

[@noelussurpemus]

@volvosweden, if I can't find a 2008-2012 xc70 t6; but can find a 3.2 with good service maintainance, is there any reason to avoid the non turbo ones? A friend of mine says they are slow.. but I'm not really looking for fast performance..more durability....any advice?

[@davidpedder9048]

Im looking to buy a S80 or a XC70 with the 3.2l. I have watched a few of your videos, and I'm amazed with how simple and straight forward repairs and maintenance is on this engine and the vehicles. Thanks for the great informative video series.

[@dirkm5974]

Hi, I did today in my V70 3.2 non-Turbo in your Way. Thanks for this great Vid! It was much of Oil, so I was thinking about a Leak on my Gearbox. But it was the Pump. Best Regaards from Germany! 😊

[@mleightle9289]

I am thinking about buying a volve xc60 with this exact problem lol makes me either want to run or jump right in, but at least we got these damn good videos to contemplate and help make those decisions.. I bet this job would have cost 1100$ at the dealer

[@TheAtakhan]

Thank you so much for the step by step video. My S60 T6 has this problem and has been leaking all over the gearbox. With your help I’ll be able to fix it no problem with your guidance so thank you again

I love this channel. It is interesting and informative, the information is clean and precise and the order of operations is researched and extremely well executed. Subbed.

[@ChunkedElement]

Thanks for posting this, my pump was leaking pretty bad. Followed this procedure for my s80 and the removal of the 13mm and 10mm for the bar to get at the pump is perfect. Got it all back together with new seals and no leaks. I noticed after getting the pump on that my belt is looking worn. Any videos ideas of how to remove the drive belt? Its really buried in there and not easy to get at the belt tensioner, may have to bring it in for the belt I think. Good video.

The bolts of the pump to the engine have to be tightend to 17Nm according to Vida. The bolts on the pump housing have to be tightend to 7 Nm.

[@summerofsteroids]

Where did you get the VIDA? My apologies I'm newer.

[@bedandbreakfastfan7088]

Just did this today on my XC60 T6. The oil was quite thick and dark in mine, perhaps it's a good thing I cleaned it out. Disconnecting the Vacuum hose was a chore as the plastic was brittle and broke when I squeezed it to disconnect. Had to use to flat-head screwdrivers to pull the two sides apart. On a good note, I did not need to remove my battery box or loosen the bracket to access the front bolt.

[@greentom]

isn't it a good idea to lubricate the seals with oil before installing? like on oil filters

[@immortal1995100]

You should only lubricate seals when you're twisting something on (like an oil filter). There's no need to do it on parts that are screwed on with bolts (it doesn't make a difference).

[@kenzeller6518]

AFAIK, yes. And, you might want to put oil or lube back in the pump, too, before cranking and running the engine. Many of these seals swell to a larger size when exposed to oil and the pump needs the lubrication to prevent wear.

[@PinkFreudzz]

Just did this Swede,c thanks for the great vid, but not sure why you took off the battery and case, Just move the airpipe and the a/c bracket. Took 20 mins to get the pump out...10 mins to put it back in

Should we remove all oil from the pump before assembling it back?

[@MosesChanhoMoon]

You are a good mechanic by self

[@samgrieg]

Great job and video! Thank you for making it. Question, is this pump supposed to make a lot of scratching noise when it runs? I could see scuff marks on the inside, where the plastic rotor part spins. Guessing, that's where noise originates? On mine, it's very loud. Thank you.

[@stevehudson4151]

I have one question. None of the seals replaced addresses the pump getting full of oil. IE Shaft seals for the rotor. It looks like the engine is migrating the oil into the pump. Why does this happen?

[@volvosweden]

+Steve Hudson I cant help here. Sorry

[@kanagarajkanagaraj6775]

Very helpful instruction, thank you for sharing. keep it up, thank u.

[@MIangelguy]

Should I oil inside the pump after rebuilt? If not, the parts will not have friction? I have rebuilt mine, and cleaned the inside (no oil).. Just wanted to re confirm before I put back and start the car..

[@bertrandls]

Did you feel any difference in terms of power after the repair of the pump? I'm asking because I have to change the same part AND my car has a loss of peak power (minus 2 seconds at 0-60 mph after 6 years on the road). I did a Terra Clean but it hasn't improved its performance...

[@benzhang5739]

The most important thing is that 5 screws, they are the leaking main root cause. The screw is made by steel, and pump body is by aluminum, there will be small gap between both treads since long time, the sealing is mainly by thread to prevent oil from coming out. The cheapest way is just put tread tape to each old screws then the problem will be fixed. Anyway change the new screw is the best solution.

Poop - so I did this and in getting the 'plug' out of the pump, one of the plastic sprung lugs was as stiff as - applying force and ignorance resulted in breaking the alloy 'bar' on the outside of the hole holding the plastic clip in.

has it got any return valve to stop engine oil from coming off to the brake booster in case the one in booster failed ,I have one here gave me aheadache to find out how come the oil in booster , the brake booster literally filled with oil , I would assume this happening during engine shutdown as that vacuum on booster will suck any oil in pump if it has not got valve at the outlet where vacuum hose connected to it , can you elaborate in this please

Need to mate this pump with an electric motor and retrofit into P80's-P2's to provide vacuum for the PCV system, so it can be completely separated from the intake system entirely. No oil allowed in the intake, a catch can in the path that you can drain once a week/month.
