The wheelie bin workstation. A must have for any respectable mechanic!
I've got plywood pieces that I place on the top for a level woodworking area...
I've got 1
Yes ,most definitely and just the right height as well 🤣😂
2010 V70 D5 R-design. 205bhp here. Took mine out and it was totally clogged up with black carbon deposits. Cleaned it up and popped it back in. Feels lovely. Surprisingly they miss this at many garages on their service. Thanks so much for posting. You're a star.
It’s not a serviceable item as in it’s not included unless there’s a real issue where this sensor could be faulty. Same for the Air flow sensor in the air intake pipe which also should be cleaned
recently bought a 2.4 D5 s60 215 bhp well serviced showing 99.000 miles and 30 mpg on the average trip., one of my first jobs was clean this sensor nothing else then run and see if the mpg improved (Tip clean with EGR spray) and yes 10 mpg improvement and a smooth tick over! then move on to the MAP sensor, all oils done/filters changed the car runs great! well pleased
I just cleaned the sensor on my Volvo XC 60 2011 D3 2.L. It feels like it just became a race car! Thank you!
I had no cleaner so just used toothpick and compressed air.
As well as the oil change I'll give this a go too! Great stuff 😃
Just checked mine
(Volvo s60 2.0L 2011 at 190k km)
It was pretty cloged up, gave it a nice cleaning, no idea if it actually did anything in therms of performance or if it is just placebo but throttle response feels a bit better and it really was a 5 min job, will see if mpg improves next time i have a long trip
Wow not done this on my d5 had since June 2020 good find fantastic
Just done this to my P3 V70 D5 twin turbo with 140k miles in it. It was absolutely caked on with one of the areas fully blocked
Much appreciated, v50 D5 worked a wonder.
Earned subscription.👍
Where did you find it on V50 d5 ? Mines a facelift
I also have V50 D5 facelift, and I think this sensor is located on intercooler (passenger side). Pain in the ass to get there 😅
I had engine service system required come on my volvo xc60 so i had it scan ed it said low flo and mass sensor problem so i replaced the mass air flow sensor thought that had done the trick but after the light popped on again so i went on you tube and come across your vid so i took the sensor out and i couldn't see the sensor through carbon deposits so i cleaned it with liquid molly it took about 25 mins but that seemed to do the trick took it out for a drive and was a different car and no warning light so hopefully its soughted thanks for you video it helped a lot
Excellent tip I’ll be cleaning mine out tomorrow,we’ll see if the last time Volvo serviced the car they cleaned it...? As if,great tip thanks.
I cleaned the sensor in my 2.0d 136hp V70, a two-minute job. While I was at it, I also cleaned the intercooler sensor, now I have to drive the car for a while and see if performance and fuel consumption improve. Thanks for the useful tip!
And? Any changes?
@@BlazejHollylodzmaybe still driving😅
Good stuff right here.
Very good tip. Thanx
Just done mine 👍
I did this to my car today (2009 d5 v70). Car felt better immediately. Will monitor mpg Olin a long run. It was quite coked up so was quite happy giving it a good clean up 👌🏼 thanks for the video and bringing it to my attention. Cheers bud
Hi can you help I have a 2009 v70 d5 awd and I haven't got the boost sensor on the top ..im struggling to find where it is ?
@@deanofranklin2104 did you find it I have a 07 s60 d5
@@HUB1987 yes I found it right down in the front at the bottom of the intercooler below the nearside front headlight ..tricky to pull out ..once removed I was surprised to see that it was very clean .. the problem still persists with loss of power.
On the dash the soot filter ⚠️warning message has popped up again see manual .. the cars regen I've tried to drive for about 30mins 3rd gear 2700rpm for about 20 miles to try and clear but hasn't worked .. diagnostics saying faulty maf so bought a new bosch maf and replace but still has intermittent power and loss of power.. seems to drive fine on cold start for about 20mins then the power loss comes in and out on a journey ..I live in rural Wales not near any motorways..checked the swirl flaps and linkage and they all moving fine ,I've also done a egr clean and took the egr valve off and cleaned that as it was a bit clogged up with soot especially the pipe was heavily clogged and cleaned out with egr spray and a pipe cleaner still no difference..checked the dpf boost sensor that was all clean and fine aswel.. frustrating as she drives lovely when the turbo kicks in as when it should . When the power loss happens there is no turbo a hesitation of power and if you give minimal reves you can sometimes feal the power come bake in again as it builds up and the turbo fires again and all is dandy .. putting foot hard to floor just reduces power most of time .. ive serviced it myself new filters all round fuel air oil etc ..I have volvo vida on lap top but I haven't got the cable to interact with the car ,looked on ebay and they about 150 notes at moment .. any advice from you guys would be much appreciated..thanks
@@deanofranklin2104 did you find out what your fault was? I have exactly the same symptoms
@@ivanbrennan9405 yes it was the dpf exhaust that was clogged .. did a delete and all runs well ..ecu remap £300
Cleaned mine which looked similar after 97k....throttle response has improved. Good engines although a bit unrefined and noisy under load.
Noisy under load which engine do you have? i think the d5 with piezo injectors are really refined and the 5pot sounds really good under load.
@@thepunisher955 I have the 215hp D5 engine. Some days it sounds like a tractor 🚜
Brilliant
I had an issue with my D5 2005, the power dropped off and a warning light saying ' Engine service Urgent' turned out to be a dirty fuel filter ! hadn't been changed when it should of been, so was starving the engine of fuel and performance, now acceleration is much better ! The motto is to insist the fuel filter is changed every 35,000 miles !
good one TKS Volvo
Very helpful video Thank you.
My V60 (2016) suddenly reduced fuel economy 40 to 50% .feel like low gear up to 30 increased engin rev noice even in Idling.changed air filter, cleaned this what you said but no changes . Any suggestions?
Hmmm interesting. I have a V60 D5 215bhp. Gonna give this a go tomorrow
Hi Mike. Get a Volvo v50 tuning chip off eBay There about £60 I got one for my D5 v50 it massively improved fuel economy and performance. Fit it yourself easily. There excellent 🤘🏻
Did mine last week. Before seeing this video. Mine was caked. Worst then yours. Blocked.
I cleaned out the EGR and the pipe that goes from EGR to the manifold. That was caked too.. would love to clean inside the manifold but that’s a mammoth task.
Nice
Brilliant thanks for that
There is one more of this sensors on the intercooler pipe. Not sure if all the engines have it. My one is D4204t5 on xc60 2014
whats with all the reflectors in the grill or do you work for the police/ambulance. Great video btw.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks
Just had this replaced, car feels smoother and mpg has gone up a bit.
Symptoms that started before I took the car to a volvo garage :
* When engine became warm, there would be revving but no acceleration, had to press the gas pedal hard to initate a kickdown, then it would accelerate fine for a few minutes then same thing would happen.
* Lower MPG than what I was expecting
Hopefully this helps someone to look at this sensor first and not worry about the gearbox which the garage thought it was at first.
2015 Volvo XC70 D5 AWD
Hi guys any videos on doing a head gasket job on these 2.4 D5 engines , thanks for this video .
Hey. Got any video or DIY on how to remove and clean EGR valve on this engine? Struggling with bad egr valve flow. It gets stuck when its complety open at 100%
It works! TA
Is this sensor the one next to the headlights on the p2 Volvo right at the intercooler?
Hi, did you get an increase in MPG in the end? I searched your channel but I couldn't find an update. I only get 40.1 on my D5.
THANK YOU!!!!
Just done this, mine was caked in crap...!
Are there any other quick jobs like this worth doing?
did this to my d5 2009 awd v70 loss of power issue persisted and gradually got worse.. checked the dpf and still had the original dpf fitted 😮225000 on clock and guessed it was the issue..clogged up and taken off once opened i found the problem .. dpf delete and a remap and she flies ..
Hi. Trying to help my friend. He has a 07 plate S80 D5 and the MAP is not there. Anything similar I found was behind the engine right side but it doesn't look the same. There is something similar behind the engine on the left side but it looks it goes into two small pipes that goes close to the firewall and under the car.
Hi there ave got a s40 d5 2009 model sure it’s a euro 4 my map sensor is not much n the same location. Any tips thanks
Is there a video explaining where is this sensor on D5 185bhp? I can’t seem to find it.
Two green wheelie bins, how did you manage that?
Great tip BTW.
🤣 if you don't ask you don't get 🤣
Any idea where the sensor is located on a D5244T4 engine in a V70 p3?
Did mine a week or so ago, was pretty chocked up tbf. And it's reduced my MPG by about 4mpg on a regular route which it has been bang on 53MPG doing for 2 years (reset weekly) now after the clean struggles to reach 49MPG
Does this mean it has made it worse?
@@GerbrandR Yeah definitely made mine worse. It's still well down to this day
Is the fuel consumption actually worse or does the processor in the vehicle engine management system THINK that it has got worse? When your on-board computer suggests a fuel consumption figure it will take in loads of parameters, do some processing work, and throw out a number. It does not count the molecules of fuel passing before a sensor, for example. If your pressure sensor is choked it CANNOT be a bad thing to clean it. You probably has a false reading before and now you know the truth.
@@Crustysmith You make a very good point. Unless he's measuring his fuel at the pumps he won't know
@@Crustysmith i could defiantly be a bad thing to clean it if you damage it while you clean it!
the pressure sensor would not be involved in the measurement of fuel injection on a diesel. it uses injector opening time and rail pressure. intake pressure would have no effect on fuel dosing
do you think there would be a point cleaning out the EGR too, maybe even take the air intake off for cleaning?
Yes defintely! :)
Would this work for a non-diesel Volvo?
I have a question. I have a Volvo tdi S60 D4 2012 station wagon
It has a problem of dragging slow, especially in the heights and ENGINE SYSTEM lighting.
I changed the Air Flow Sensor and became lit better.
But the ENGINE SYSTEM lighting also came back on, and I cleaned the mpg sensor, and it improved, but it started cutting during slow motion.
It has a problem of dragging slow, especially in the heights
I have an ENGINE SYSTEM light, I changed the Air Flow Sensor
It improved a little, and the ENGINE SYSTEM also came back on, and I cleaned the mpg sensor, and it improved, but it started cutting during slow motion.
So what's the problem if you advise me to do it.
Can you do this with an s80
Hi mate nice s60 will this be the same for the 07 model?
Should be yes:)
Hi
Thanks for video
I have XC70 D5 215 engine, so your movies correspond to my car quite well
I have just cleaned mine MAP sensor. its been quite poor, dirty
just silly question. should I get worried if small plastic stick/needle in the middle of the basket, has came off while cleaning. sensor basket were dirty and brake cleaner wasn't enough, so I have used a tooth brush to clean sensor basket and then I have notice, than inside stick/needle has came off, but basket itself is nice and clean now. after 30miles no issues so far, but I'm a bit panicking
thanks for feedback in advance
You'll need a new one, the wire is what takes the reading.
HI i have a volvo v50 2006 D5 2.4 diesel and i cannot seem to find the location of the sensor was wondering if you could help?
Did you notice any performance or mpg gains?
Where can i find this inlet mainfold sensor on my XC70 D5 2008? It's not on the same place as shown on video.
did it make a difference? Just got an old xc90 D5 so interested in improving the mpg... :)
Same question for my XC90 D5 185. From my research, I think that the sensor is located on the intercooler manifold. shop.euroimpex.lt/product_images/00621843_9147690678.jpg?big=1
Today I took my iPad with your RUclips video to do this job on my 2007 S80D5 and I couldn’t locate my inlet manifold sensor! Clearly there have been changes to the engine from 2007-2012? Can you help me locate it please. I have been enjoying your videos from Downunder, regards Richard👍🏻🙂
Hi Richard,
sorry to hear this, In 2009 they change the design of the engine. I believe your sensor can be found just by thr intercooler, low down, behind the front bumper on the right hand side
ruclips.net/video/4f5m87qRsNk/видео.html here it is shown on an xc90, it is the same for your car :)
do you know where this is located on a p2 xc70 2005?
Have you replaced the diaphragm on the PCV system? If so, any tips?
why?
Can't find it on my xc70 d5 2008. Seems the engines are built a little different and I have been looking by the intercooler but I see nothing
Seeems easy … but everyone has it and i sont have it on my D5 … is there anything else i can clean…. etc?
I have a 2010 xc90 d5 and I lifted the cover off ( grey cover ) and I can’t see where this sensor is ?
Where is this sensor located on the 163 bhp 2.4d previous engine please?......
Hi I just bought the 1.6 d driveE 2012 and it feels a bit jumpy in low rev , I wonder if this will help
I have a 1.6 Drive r design and you might find the injectors are on their way out but fingers crossed it’s not that
I feel sorry for you. Thats a paugeot engine. The drive engine also needs coding just to change batteries..
@@nerothostv no it doesn’t
@@Alexander_l322 Yes it does cus it has the start/stop function
@@nerothostv no it doesn’t. I own one and recently changed the battery. I didn’t need to code it or anything. Stop talking shit
My car is 2008 it must be in a different place ?
MAP should be only cleaned on diesel or petrol also?
both!
Have you made any videos on cleaning the EGR valve please
Thanks!! 2003 v70 D5 Same location&proceedure?
Cheers
I'm not sure on older cars!
@@drivelife.channel on l.h. side tube with sensor in top.Cleaned!!
yet to give it a run. tnx
Great news! Enjoy! 😁😁
I can’t find mine anywhere. I’ve got a 2008 D5, but it’s not where I thought it would be. The engine idles roughly so I’m trying to clean it all out etc to eliminate the issue, but I seriously can’t find the MAP sensor……anywhere. Anyone any ideas?
UPDATE: it's under the airbox and air intake duct. It's right down the bottom of the car. Some people have suggested you remove the bumper or the under tray to access it. You will need a torch to see it clearly. Basically, if you have a 2007 or 2008 model, it's not as easy, so give yourself plenty of time to remove it and clean/replace it.
So, you clean it using brake cleaner ? Is it safe ? Thanks.
Yep absolutely:)
No brake cleaner, surely a drop of petrol will do the same job?
Is this applicable to petrol cars as well?
Probably not, they don't soot as bad
Any changes ? Acceleration or fuel consumption? My S80 D5 185 HP AWD on board comp. shows about 7.9-8.3l\100km(34.4 - 35.7mpg)
Yes, it seems to pull harder and is returning about 5mpg more!!
I got the 163hp 2.4d. Same procedure?
Yes!
Hi do you know where the inlet pressure manifold sensor is located on a 2006 volvo d5? Any help would be greatly appreciated
At the output of the intercooler
Did it work?
Yes great result, car feels more responsive and gets better MPG :)
Note: The P3 V70 D5; sensor isn't in this location.
Mine is ad5 single turbo 185hp, the sensor is in another position ??
Yes, I have taken the cover off mine and it's not where this one is in the video.
Will a c30 D4 have this?
Yes. Exactly the same
Some brake cleaners (Brakleen) can dissolve plastic.
use egr cleaner
Anyone no where it is on a p2 model as I can not find it as not in same place 2006 d5 facelift
On the side of the Intercooler
Mine dont have this for some reason. Mine is a 2008 d5 s80.
Does your engine make an extra noise like knocking? I also own a 2008 d5 and 2 years ago it started a little knocking noise when I push the gas pedal. Two different mechanic couldn't find any problem but this "sewing machine" noise drives me crazy
@@hattorihanzo8549 Mine do not make that noise no. Any other side effects to it besides what you mentioned? Gotten any worse since then?
@@Legalaxe01 It does not cause any other problems. Fuel consumption, performance, acceleration, everything is normal when driving at a constant speed. There is this noise until the car reaches a constant speed, noise is strong when you start driving the car. The exhaust pipes, battery, axles were checked but could not find anything. It only decreases a little when the engine warms up, but still continues. I thought the problem might be about EGR but then mechanics say it would then ignite a fault code. But no fault codes either. Thanks for the response

Had the same problem as you are experienceing .
Was desperate and then i have changed the top engine hydraulic mount.Cheap part and did it my self.
The knock disappeared instantly and also no more vibrations in the steering wheel at idle.
The engine mount does not trigger a fault message,but instead it gives strange symptoms that ressemble more like bad injectors,bad valve lifters and pistons.
For me it was a 40€ part.Others went to mechanics that didn’t know how to coreectly diagnose this and before getting to the real Volvo mechanic that solved it,they changed injectors,high pressure fuel pump,egr with no result.
This hidraylic pillow collapses and the engine touched the frame,so hence the knocking.When you dismantle it you will see marks on there.This is located on the right side of the car,simehow under the coolant reservoir.You can also change the one on the top.It the aluminium one that you can see.It is easy to change and cheap.That is the one responsible with the movement of the engine,back and forth.Counterbalance.
Also on the left side of the car there is the one that sits between the chassis and the gearbox.Also hydraulic.Kind of expensive part,tho,but that one does not fail that often.
So,begin by changing the first one in the link that i have sent you.You will thank me later !

Part nr 2
Stick a snake camera in there you won’t be disappointed 😂
Put a new air filter in aswell those are cheap enough, the sensor itself is ~40€ here.
If its really nasty the entire intake manifold and EGR Valve needs to be cleaned aswell.
I have an S60 D5 year 2005....I don't think I have one of these on my engine.
Hi, can I do the same on a volvo xc60 D4 2015? Thank you.
if it is the five cylinder engine then yes :)
Hey there, great channel. Just made a purchase of my first proper car (s60 se lux d3 2011) and trying to do as much as possible by myself. Probably a retard question... but did you disconnect battery for this job? Many thanks 🙏
Hey hayden, great to to hear you've got yourself a quality motor there! no question is stupid in my opinion! No I didn't disconnect the battery for this job:)
Dude, much obliged 🙏
No such thing as 5 minute fix unless you're changing the pine tree air refreshner
things break
Where is it on a 2004 D5 ?
Believe it’s on the intercooler on one side
Tricky to get to but yes, have a look at the right side of the intercooler. (Right as if you're standing in front of the car). Easy to see, not so easy to get the screw back in. Still worth doing as access is a little bit of a pain and most peeps dont bother.
I did it, nothing changed
Are you friends with Nicholas Knowles now?
Yep best mates! ;)
I would say carb cleaner would be better.
or liquimoly diesel intake decarb
Should have got a euro 3 d5 😅
Close calls on camera is on now.
Indeed, I wonder how Roz will do?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
First time owner of volvo. Got d5. Disappointed with that engine noise like fuck me i dont like even putting my foot down especially on take off as the engine noise just makes me feel like there is something wrong with engine even though notting wrong. That noise could be refined. Louder then most other diesel engines out there. Not very relaxing when stuck in traffic listening to that engine rattle. Otherwise good. 👍
I've literally seen no difference to my car in the last four months since I purchased a new one.
I did this today. Sensor was full of slummy black shit. Now is super clean.
Q1: What should happend now? What should change?
Q2: what about inside of the engine block? (Place where put the sensor). I saw lot of shit there. Should I clean it to?
Next time please focus your camera.
