Hey Jonny, I work on these cars for a living and want to point out something you may have missed, there’s a one way pulley behind the compressor bracket that also should be replaced, we see those seize up constantly, one way to tell if it’s going bad is try to spin the belt by hand, it should spin only one way if it is stuck then that pulley is going bad
Hi Jonny, sorry but I have to correct you. The SI6 (short I6) engine was 100% designed and developed by Volvo Cars in Sweden. I know because I worked there at the time. The engine was however assembled in Fords engine factory in Bridgend, England. The reason for the unconventional FEAD arrangement was to reduce the width so the engine could be mounted transversally. Some components was taken from Ford - cheaper that way. Edit: Wales! Sorry. It doesn’t change my point though.
I worked for a related company and agree. Volvo had the engine in development before Ford purchase. It was shortened so engine bay area frame width could be brought down so wheel turn angles with wide tires would be greater to fix awful turn radius the P2 platform models had with wide tires. The odd part of this engine is the crank ends at the 1st main.
Ps guys Bridgend….is in Wales…..ok its attached to England…sadly the engine plant no longer exists, Ineos guy was interested until he got a freebie offer in France

The Engine is 100% developed in Sweden and based on the older 2,8 and 3,0k inline 6cyl that started to be produced in 1990. They are just produced in UK the last years in production because Ford also wanted to use them.
Well, is that Volvo a Swede or is it a Chinese. The Chinese company Geely (who to the bigger part runs by the Chinese Communist party) bought the brand Volvo(only the cars not Volvo Trucks) in 2010. I'm Swedish, living in Gothenburg Sweden (the city who houses the Volvo factory). Volvo is still being assembled here in Gothenburg but I should never in a lifetime buy a Volvo from 2010 on. Chinese policies, Chinese management, Chinese quality and giving money to Communist China if I can avoid it, no way.
hey that is nice of you to fix your families cars. plus you get free advertising from word of mouth. i also like how explain what your doing, keep the awesome videos coming.
for most people a car is a mode of transportation to get to point A to B. I wish basic maintenance was engrained in everyone prior to owning their first vehicle.
It's the old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Or putting your hands over your ears and going "lalalalalalala" so you don't hear what you don't want to hear. Eventually they'll have to pay and sometimes at night by the side of the road and in the rain. I try and fix 'em before they break.
That’s because everyone is in hurry for something else, and vehicle maintenance is way down on the list. If people changed oil and rotated tires on schedule they’d save 1000’s over the life of the car.
Shout out to the *videographer and editor* A difficult video to shoot considering the confined work space. But great lighting, lots of good camera angles, and of course Jonny's thorough narrative and the use of that exploded diagram got us through. Well done !
The engine is a volvo design . Just the bolt on parts are Ford Kinda find it funny how ninja is saying a ford is over designed while he workes on german cars for a living.
It's a fuzzy world. Are you also talking about the BMW turbodiesel engine Ford offered on the Lincoln Mark VII for two years, or the 2.8L V6 designed in Cologne, Germany, also known as the Cologne V6? Then there is the Merkur XR4ti and the Merkur Scorpio. How about the Australian Capri co-engineered by Mazda in the early 90s?
@@houseofno the Scorpio and the xr4ti are European Ford that were put on sale in the USA The cologne engine is a Ford europe design (Got myself a Sierra XR4X4) A lot of manufacturers work together now The new VW Amarok is just a Ford Ranger With the current laws and safetys cars are way to complicated and expensive to build unique cars That why most enthousiast cars were just re bodys of regular boring sedans
These cars are amazing... Reliable, safe and comfortable. Only caveat is that serpentine belt inboard of the accessories. You can cross reference a lot of parts with the Taurus and Explorer and get parts cheaper. I've had two and they're awesome.. T6 with a Hilton tune is 320hp. :)

Always hated working on Euro cars,, the Japanese cars are so much easier, however the new Japanese cars are getting just as conplicated as the Euro cars
I've done this job on both of my own XC90s. It is a pain, even if you've done it before. The reason it's designed with the belt on the rear of the engine is to make the engine short enough to be mounted transversely. Volvo won't use longitudinal engines. The belt is actually driven by the A/C pully which is driven by the READ unit (a gear drive from the intake camshaft), which also drives the alternator.
That’s not a Ford engine!!!! Its a Volvo engine, otherwise it won’t last for 200.000 Miles, the rest of the car is a Ford Mondeo, but the engine is Volvo!!!! Greats from the Netherlands , ramon
@@johnturner4400 Even before that they were going down hill. My grandfather had a 93 960 and it was a nice car but not the most reliable thing. He purchased a Honda after that and never looked back. He was a WW2 veteran, and never thought he would buy a car from Japan but said it was by far the best car he’d ever owned.
The Volvo Si6 may have been the shortest lived Volvo motor ever. The older 5cyls are much easier to work on, and the new 4cyls aren't anywhere near as cramped as that engine was. People rave about the Si6, but all of the accessories are on the back of the motor. Always had me concerned with potentially owning one.
Oh, I'm aware. It also won a whole bunch of awards. It still always made me iffy on ever buying a Volvo with it. I mean, a Polestar V60 would be awesome, but how much of a pain in the ass is it to replace accessories? That's all I'm getting at.
Really like your shop and your workmanship. Over time I have picked up tips and tricks watching your channel much appreciated! The one XC90 I had to work on (belt snapped seized tensioner and damaged idler) I posted about that strange drivebelt setup 🤯
Awww Man! Im in the UK and was just about to have my car loaded into a container and shipped to you to have my blinker fluid changed. OK then, Ill just watch.
Given the way this car was maintained it looks pretty well for 200k+ miles. And whipe this particular repair is one of the sore spots of this engine. The T6 motor i have has done me well so far at 150k.
Jonny, if you want an easy car to work on, try a Volvo 240. On the Red Block timing belt, all 3 front seals, tensioner, and water pump can come as a kit for about $150. Takes about 90 minutes to do the job. Volvo lost the plot with the 850 and went off into the weeds after that. Thsy just do not drive properly.
A local shop always has BMW's and Mercedes in its lot so I figured it might be a good place to take my Volvo. I went in to introduce myself and the owner instantly and emphatically said " I will NOT work on Volvos or Audis ! " Always thought that was a weird and random pairing. But I'm starting to understand.
Nice job on that china🫣🤣 i thought also that is a real Volvo engine. All comments made it sure. I have to say i have a Volvord as in it has Volvo s80 base and engine. It's a 2007 Ford s-max 2.5 T,7 seater. Ita cheaper to maintain cos part's in Finland can be found on non marble Desk shop's. If it was a volvo then parts are behind volvo service wall. Ive had my Volvord for over 10 year's and odo says 370tkm. I did last summer a huge service so I can drive it up to 600tkm. I just love the way it drives,and it's fast for a big car. I had ecu tune ,new turbo,new clutch, it moves🔥
Pre 1999 volvo's are actually volvo's after that the build was compromised. They probably actually improved in build quality after 2010 when a chinese company took ownership. The pre 1999 cars where built to last 25 years that's why there's so many older models still alive. The new one's probaly won't last that long.
Ford used Volvo engines, not the other way around. Some V6 engines was invented in Sweden but produced in some Ford Factory in the UK and some older diesel engines was license produced VW engines. After 2010 I don't know and i don't care. After 2010 its Chines shit cars
the owner could at least vacuum out he leaves and debris from the tree they obviously park under every once and a while. Will a clean engine bay prevent this damage from occurring; probably not...but getting the leaves/organic debris out from all of the crevices can help prevent moisture from lingering in one spot for days on end that is a good rust starter. Plus it could save a pound or two....it also help the mechanic not have to sift through all of the dirt/debris as he/she removes parts.
I actually owned the same car, it was great. The engine had well over 100k and ran very smooth and strong, the seats were the most comfortable I have ever had and I felt extremely safe when driving. However here were two things I didn't like so much, one was the steering was stiff so you had to use more force when driving but I know that was to feel the road more and the german gauges on the dash were not impressive and hard to see since they were dark other than that it was such a great car, I do regret selling it.
This is the excact reason why i just sold my 3.2 s80 and bought a lexus. Great car to drive but... Knowing that the belt needs to be changed and also the squaky blower motor needs the whole dashboard to be taken apart. Even changing the cabin filter was annoying. Have to give credit to Volvo for them to design the headlights so you can remove them without screws and change the bulbs very easily. So much easier to work on these older toyotas.
@@JuicingDailyTV It has a timing chain so no problem with that but the aux belt is quite a job if you want to also change the water pump or other pulleys. I think some pulleys need a special tool. Very weird engineering, the alternator is driven by an geared unit which is very expensive (mine was replaced by previous owner for 4000 euros at the dealer). But if properly maintained, they can be good cars.
Same thing happened on my XC90, idler pulley seized and shredded the belt while I was driving. Was kind of a pain to work on but was kinda cool to work on something different
My wife had a 2003 V70 2.4t, engine Grenaded at 155k miles. We owned the car since new and changed the oil every 5k miles. My business partner had the same engine in a 2005 Volvo SUV, engine grenaded at 160k miles. If I remember correctly those 5 cylinder Volvo engines were slightly off balanced internally and “ate” themselves up…learned my lesson and never looked back.
@@alexpetree2038 I don’t know of anyone with a Volvo made in the last 20 years with over 200k miles without major work. Hell, this car even had the transmission burn up at 33k miles. Other than oil changes, air filters, and spark plugs, what else would I need to do to the engine? Maybe I am just use to Lexus where it doesn’t take much to get a car over 150k miles…
@@hokie9910 That sounds pretty weird, i know few personally people with p2 volvos with 500k km plus and they didn't need to do major work. I had 2002 volvo s40 2.0t, 500k km engine and aisin transmission worked fine and it never needed any major work. But it was scrapped because the platform was mitsubishi carisma so naturally it rusted away in this countrys climate. Im currently driving 04 s60 t5 with 280k km and 400hp, and the engine/transmission never had any problems 🤔
@@jaskajokunen3716 I am definitely not seeing that here in the US. By 200k miles they are typically ready for the junk yard. I am sure there are outliers but the wagons were very popular with young moms back in the early to mid 2000s, my wife and her friends included. I did not know a single one make it to 200k miles without major work to get it there. Aisin definitely make the best transmissions, of course, they are owned by Toyota. Ours was definitely not an Aisin.

Same engine and trans used in the LR2 or Freelander 2 . Same aux drive system too. Done this way so they could get it tighter to the frame rail.
If the boyfriend has any class, he’s going to fix that bumper.
T5 & T6 are Volvo not Ford motors. Though I’m sure Ford touched it.
Let's put a straight six in fwd configuration and move the drive belt system to the back of the engine
Chacho mijo! Mira ese pinche idler pulley, meng! Se jodio!!!
it sounds like a paper shreder machine , my car sounds exactly the same in cold start (minute 12) what is that sound ? alternator ? a/c ? tentioner?
I bet when the Ninja goes to sleep and has a nightmare, he just smiles and gets his torch out....cause it is just like another day at work
Why would you use dielectric grease on the battery posts? It's non-conductive.
Same thing happened on my XC90, idler pulley seized and shredded the belt while I was driving. Was kind of a pain to work on but was kinda cool to work on something different
😮 that pulley…
Gloves
Yeah 3.2's aint the best engines. Better to choose the v8 by yamaha
My wife had a 2003 V70 2.4t, engine Grenaded at 155k miles. We owned the car since new and changed the oil every 5k miles. My business partner had the same engine in a 2005 Volvo SUV, engine grenaded at 160k miles. If I remember correctly those 5 cylinder Volvo engines were slightly off balanced internally and “ate” themselves up…learned my lesson and never looked back.
@@hokie9910 plenty of whiteblock engines with 300k+. Sounds like you just got unlucky or didn't do other maintenance
@@alexpetree2038 I don’t know of anyone with a Volvo made in the last 20 years with over 200k miles without major work. Hell, this car even had the transmission burn up at 33k miles. Other than oil changes, air filters, and spark plugs, what else would I need to do to the engine? Maybe I am just use to Lexus where it doesn’t take much to get a car over 150k miles…
@@hokie9910 That sounds pretty weird, i know few personally people with p2 volvos with 500k km plus and they didn't need to do major work. I had 2002 volvo s40 2.0t, 500k km engine and aisin transmission worked fine and it never needed any major work. But it was scrapped because the platform was mitsubishi carisma so naturally it rusted away in this countrys climate. Im currently driving 04 s60 t5 with 280k km and 400hp, and the engine/transmission never had any problems 🤔
@@jaskajokunen3716 I am definitely not seeing that here in the US. By 200k miles they are typically ready for the junk yard. I am sure there are outliers but the wagons were very popular with young moms back in the early to mid 2000s, my wife and her friends included. I did not know a single one make it to 200k miles without major work to get it there. Aisin definitely make the best transmissions, of course, they are owned by Toyota. Ours was definitely not an Aisin.
Hi, Ninja, and happy new year! Just wanted to say that the opening message of the video... that makes total sense and I can understand why you'd feel the need to do that. Gotta look out for yourself and your business first!
I have the 3.0 litre normally aspirated S80 engine and the belt is on the other end and a lot easier to access. Glad that you managed to change it! 👍
Somebody is very lucky to be related to the Car Ninja. 👍
FoMoCo Volvo.
MoFo FoMoCo lol
Sometimes you have to do things that you would not normally do when "family" is involved.
I love your shop! and how cool it was to see a Volvo. I have this exact car!
You must have nightmares when your asleep
