What were the symptons before you started this? I had one instance where my volvo used a lot of oil but but nothing after that one time. Now it turns over like the battery is going dead without starting. The nearest volvo dealer is 2 hours away, and the non volvo scan read a cam sensor failure. I think its worse. Any ideas?
I have a 2015.5 S60 T5 single turbo. I never have any issues with oil consumption. I have recently drove it 7k miles due to cross country driving and no oil consumption and the car has 42k on the odometer. I did have a weird whine during cold weather once. I don’t have any clue what it could be. Sounded like a bad bearing in a belt accessory or spring tensioner. It has not done it in a while. What are your thoughts on that?
Was wondering what your thoughts are on buying a 2022 s60 t6 with around 30k good year bad year ? I watched ur video on the 4 most common problems ..just wondering how rare these issues are I'm 65 years young and have owned probably 7 volvos in my time ..first one was a 245 wagon with a B21 engine..would appreciate your opinion!! Thx Pat
What causes that? I just purchased a 2017 VOLVO XC60 T6 with 50,000 miles. I’m told to change the oil every 10,000 miles but I prefer to change the oil every 3,000 miles. Thank you
Hello, I've been doing some research about Volvos lately and I figured out that 2.5T engine is quite nice with C30, but I'm interested in faster ones so S60 is the one and 300HP+ too. I found some information about the 3.0T but would it be reliable? if they even are, because 4 out of 5 owners, very very roughly speaking, had a positive feedback, some said 3.0T failed on them and it had oil problems and what not so what do you think about used cheaper ones, maybe from a car auction too. 2.0 Twincharged ones 2016+ are quite expensive.
Can I ask you this question? Yesterday, a Ford mechanic told me that my 2017 VOLVO XC60 T6 R design 2.0 supercharged/turbocharged engine are known to use .5 to 1.0 quarts of oil within the first 1,500 miles. If that’s true then does that indicate the engine would use 2-3 quarts of oil toward the next recommended oil change at 10,000 miles? That would imply the engine would overheat and lock due to not enough engine oil in the system correct? This Ford mechanic has me very concerned. I feel my VOLVO runs cherry. It’s smooth and quiet. More so now that the oil was changed and Liqui Moly CERATEC was added at 55,000 miles. Thank you
If you use as little as .5qts every 1k miles that adds up to 5qts and the engine holds 6.25qts so that will most definitely damage the engine, and most certainly it's not okay since the 2017 and on go 10k miles without losing more then 1 qt. I never go 10k on my engine no matter what any ways, I still to 3-5k max.
When you say you need special tools, are you referring to custom volvo-specific tools? I have rebuilt mustang V8 engines, so wondering if I'll need additional Volvo-specific tools for my 2016 T6 piston swap.
I have a 2015 V60 T5 with a 2L engine of the same problem. I have to add oil often. And I don't know how much is missing, because when I check the oil level on the panel, it doesn't show the real level. I just add half a liter or 1 liter. Is this problem under warranty? I am in Canada. Thanks.
Hi @TheVolvoGuy, how hard would it be, to upgrade an D3 (150hp) to D4 (190hp)? I know that the turbo is the main difference and that the D4 has a balancer shaft. The ECU could be remapped or swaped by one for the D4. I think it should be possible. What do you think? My car has also an oil consumption.
Having a factory twin charged engine is my ideal. I presume that the company will have solved a lot of problems that aren't addressed in after market add ons. But is it actually any good? Does it have more problems than it's worth? Or is it a good and reliable engine? I think it's been out for more than two years now.
Good question. I actually have seen people and talked to people about doing a super charger and a turbo charger back in 2006 but the lack of money and other resources put a huge halt on it. But the main challenge was how to disengage the supercharger after at higher rpms. Volvo used an electrical clutch that is controlled by the ECM. Now is it worth it? Yes you have no lack of power at any rpms what so ever from idle to high end no problems at all with engine. Most people do not know that but this engine was used in the pollstar model and it was the 2nd most powerful 4 cylinder was ever made right after the Mercedes 4cylinder AMG engine. No problems with it at all except for early on with piston rings but this problem got fixed very quickly.
I have an S90L with a CPA tuning piggy back that blows the turbo and supercharger at the same time. Making around 400hp with just the piggyback and 120 octane racefuel
@@odiespankers07 yes The chip definitely added power but eventually months later there gave an error in the middle of the line at Taco Bell engine wouldn't turn on and I couldn't restart the car until I popped the hood and tore out the chip and restored back to factory settings.

It's not normal to burn coolant at any point you have to pressure test the system if it leaks when the engine is hot it will dry and you might not see it. So you need to pressure test it and check for leaks.
Hey I'm about to hit my warranty next month I have about 35000 miles. Considering the turbos and superchargers are so expensive to should I get an extended warranty to a 100000 miles? Or are these cars reliable enough to make it to a 100000 without busting anything expensive major.
It all depends on the driving style but time will tell under normal driving conditions I don't see why not but with the direct injection I have noticed a lot of carbon buildup on the valves since there is no fuel to keep them clean.
