I could not find a video pertaining to my Volvo to replace both O2 sensors. This is a walk through of how to change both front and back sensors in a 2007 Volvo S60R Turbo.
Just bought a 2013 s60 t6 with 150k miles for $2,500. Had a check engine light on with 3 o2 sensor codes. Guy wanted $5,500 for it, but when I asked about the codes he said the light came on 2 years ago and his daughter has been driving it like that ever since. That's the reason I was able to talk him down to $2,500 - because I wasn't sure if the cat was plugged up. The car ran great - super smooth, perfectly balanced as you would expect - but it was running extremely rich and definitely felt sluggish. Well, I replaced both o2 sensors and the codes stayed off, but performance was still pretty bad. But rather than replacing the cat with a cheap aftermarket alternative, I just made sure to red line the engine a few times a day on the highway. And after about 2 weeks, she's running about 75% better, which is good enough for me. So long story short - change your o2 sensors. This guy lost $3,000 because he didn't
Thanks for the help on this job! Sure was a struggle to get to those connectors. Pretty sure they could have been in a much better place. I had a tough time even with a frame lift at the hobby shop on base. Only real difference between your car an mine is that plastic piece you removed is where my air filter box is. Same removal but still a pain. First set was replaced while I was deployed and the wife paid a fortune... just hit 200k and figured they were due again. Thanks again.
Thank you ! My car is just an s60 not an r and it’s almost the same. I am gonna try to grab it from under the hood for bank 1. I don’t trust jacking my car up haha

God call. That CAT is most defiantly gone. When these sensors go out the computer goes full rich! That plugs them up.
Great video! The still photos made it much easier for me to follow than other videos I've seen. Thanks!
You are welcome.
So there is two of them or? i have s60 and fuel mix is really rich. Exhaust smells like gas statiton
Yes, the computer senses the difference between the forward and behind the catalytic converter.

Glad it helped.
I keep getting the error code P0170 for my Volvo S60. Does that mean I have a faulty O2 sensor?
I don't think so, that code is a lean mixture problem. Either an injector or fuel regulator. An O2 sensor will default to a rich mixture.
Thx
You're welcome.

You are welcome. I posted because I had trouble finding this info out there.
get some ramps. Faster than jacks and stands anyway, safer too.
Thank You! so much for making this video, it has been a life saver for me.
You are very welcome.
Lovely, i hope its the same for my 2001 v70T5
Your welcome. Let me know if it is.
This is perfect my same year and model 🔥🔥🔥
Glad it helped.
