Just acquired a 2001 V70XC. This project is in my near future. I have done this on a P80 platform, this newer engine has a few more complexities! Thanks for a great video.
Yes, It tells you if the positive crankcase ventilation system is working right-or not. If it's not, it can build up crankcase pressure and cause oil seals to leak all over the place, cause rough running and contribute to higher emissions. Take care!
That does look like an involved process to get to the parts. You have provided some great infromation for anyone doing this job. The glove test is cool
When you own one of these cars, it's a given that you'll have to remove the intake manifold at some point to do maintenance or change parts. I should get good at it eventually LOL. Not too bad though when done methodically. The glove test is cool! I should have filmed the glove before the repair...it was being inflated by the crankcase pressure, a sure sign that the PCV system needed attention.
Thanks, Nev This was a bit of work but not too bad. Glad I got it changed. The PCV system is now working perfectly. Here's hoping you have a wonderful weekend!
How's she goin'? If we had 3 hands and if those hands were 1/2 their normal size, this job just might be a little easier eh!! This was quite the feat Craig to get at the part first off and then to reinstall everything. It might be possible to get a wrench on some of those bolts to remove them but then to re-assemble you have to get back at that bolt and start it in the hole and that's where the small hands would be nice to have. Great job on this Craig. Nice description and great camera angles to show how it's done. A great job indeed and that's no bologna buddy!! Take 'er easy!!
Reminds me of the “Ideal Submariner” They are three feet high, have four arms six feet long with six elbows in each arm. All of this so they can reach cramped parts of the submarine to make repairs. LoL A tough spot to get at for sure but even without tiny hands, I got ‘er done. Thanks for your detailed comment and observations. I can tell you have more time these days because there was no BS (Baloney Season) to get in the way.LoL😂
It was a tough spot to get access to but not too bad. The design engineers should receive a pay cut for this one, though. These P.C.V. systems on Volvos are known to plug up and should be changed out every few years or when the glove-test shows excess crankcase pressure. The reason that crankcase pressure is bad is because it can cause the engine to run poorly, including hard starts, poor fuel economy , higher emissions and oil consumption and have oil leaking at seals. I had my wisdom teeth removed years ago so this job was easier for me!
I have challenge coming up. That did not look easy and yet, you did a great job showing and explaining the process. How many hrs or days did it take you to finally finish it? I will use this video to take it step by step. TY. II enjoyed the glove test.
I completed this project over two days but don’t hold yourself to that . Take your time and get it done right . Some of the disassembly was familiar to me and that made it go quicker . That said, some garages can complete this repair in a few hours but I’m no where near that fast. I wish you every success!
Wow thank you for such a informative video on replacing the pcv. I want to ask what’s your opinion on a oil leak that happen in the banjo bolt/rear cam area. What line would cause a oil leak but doesn’t change my oil level?
The oil line to the turbocharger (centre bearing) has a bango bolt that could be leaking. The drain into the block (return oil from the turbo) isn't a bango bolt, but a gasketed flange with two torx-head bolts. That gasket could be leaking oil or the pipe connection to the block, oil seal could be brittle/broken. A small leak can cause a big mess and you may not notice a significant drop in sump oil level. It is very difficult to see/access the turbocharger on these cars. I posted a video showing the installation of the head and turbo (including the bango bolts and flanged oil return line). Here it is: ruclips.net/video/Q-X44O8riro/видео.html have you ci=onsidered subscribing and sharing my videos with friends. Thanks I also have a complete Playlist of all my Volvo repairs here: ruclips.net/p/PLVhwMoeizOwPQm8OvPBfXoYEpmNG1ufk_
Did you go with genuine Volvo or afermarket for the parts? For this I got genuine volvo or OEM for all of it except that complex metal tube with various fittings. For that, Volvo is $270 but aftermarket is $100, and I'm having a hard time deciding! Thanks.
Some things may not fit. Go to Rockauto dot com. They will have the right kit for you at a good price. I buy most all my parts there and the shipping includes duties for delivery to me in Canada. All reasonable and better prices than local stores.

@@roaminroad You’re very welcome! Stop in anytime and comment or ask questions. I’ll try to help if I can.👍
Well I learned something new there Craig! Put a glove over the oil fill if it sucks down! SUCCESS💯💪🏾

Glad to hear it went well!
OMG! This is my reminder why I avoid working on automotive😂
Well done Craig✌
Totally agree 👍🏾
Thanks, Marc. That's what I'm here for....to do the heavy lifting so others don't have to. Take Care!
Oh well, one of us has to keep the wheels turning while you guys drink coffee and look out the window LOL hahaha@@bigsonslawncare

You are welcome!

good job,now i no what to do pffff lot off work !!.👍
@@laurenshommen1767 Not such a big job, one step at a time, be organized, you got this.😀
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Dave.
Quuite the job for a simple thing. Never is it easy. Surprised you didnt have to take out a wisdom tooth too. Never seen one of those replaced. Cheers

I got the parts at Rockauto.com (aftermarket).
Craig, would a 2.3 L kit work on a 2.4L?
