Hi. I'll add another Thank You for your videos! I like the way you clearly explain things. Using your videos for guidance I've cleaned out the throttle body, EGR valve and inlet pipe on my 2015MY V70 D5 Auto with 50k miles. The performance has improved and selecting drive/reverse at idle is now much smoother too. I'm impressed with the results and I'm now wondering if there's any further improvement to be had by cleaning the intake manifold too? The car is running fine but could I make it even better by cleaning the manifold or is the biggest improvement normally with the throttle/EGR? Best wishes, Mike
I need some advice around 2 problems, one is really pointless foot brake 9n my xc90. And the second one is steering angle sensor or clock spring issue on my xc90
Hi there. I have an engine like this and want to find the boost pressure sensor to inspect and clean but I cannot find it. Does anyone know where it is please?
Hey man. Your videos are so much better than most pro companies. I really appreciate real life advice. Are you in or around Aldershot area at all by any chance.
Have you done swirl flaps on an XC90 ? What's your opinion on what they do and don't affect .... Seen one with leak at swirl seal .... Swirl disconnected suspect motor isn't working but one of the injectors has carbon round it ..... Seen many now saying unless you get lights or limp mode then just leave it ... Others of course say get the swirls replaced on balance what do you think ? Is it just a messy swirl flap area and a wee bit of oil loss or there is wider implications?
No never needed to do swirl flaps. Volvo do a cheap repair kit for the actuator to keep the arm in place. If the arm is disconnected, you can manually move the swirl linkage to see if it's free moving. You can also test the swirl actuator motor with Dice and Vida to view full movement. Clean the area of any oil leakage thoroughly then monitor oil levels to see if the loss is significant.
@@sirobb thanks m8. yeah it's more the presence of oil and no active swirl .... Other than a dirty engine bay are there any further issues e.g with egr and dpf ? Personally I thought it has little affect connected or not and seen many posters just deleting them altogether.
Hi simon. Is there anyway i can get in touch and ask for some help please? Just to pick your brain on a v70 d5 euro3 p2 issue im having. Im not sure if or how i can contact you not related to comments. Totally understand if youd rather not. But your videos have been invaluable to me and regardless i really appreciate all you post
Hi, I'm not sure that any car problem requires a separate private conversation so feel free to ask your question in the comments. Someone else may have had a similar problem.
Hi. Thank you for all your amazing Volvo videos. Did you already have problems with the swirl flaps on your D5? I would love to see a replacement video or alternatively a full intake cleaning video. I do not have problems with it yet, but I am planning to clean my intake system. Thank you and keep up the great work! Kind regards
Hi Simon, you have probably been asked this dozens of times but do replacement throttle bodies have to be coded/programmed by the dealership? I can't seem to get a straight answer on this. I have a 2003 V70 T5 and the original throttle is done. I've purchased a brand new Bosch unit which i have checked is the correct part and is identical to the old original one (which is branded Volvo) The Bosch one i have purchased is a 'virgin' unit so will my T5's ECM recognise it ? Is having to have it coded just a myth? My friend has VIDA and says there is no coding mentioned in the fitting procedure? What do you think? Do people tend to get the terms ETM and Throttle body confused, are they not two parts of the same unit? Thanks
If Vida doesn't state the software upgrade procedure along with the software part number, it isn't required. It may need a calibration/adaption though which is in the Advanced tab of Vehicle Communication.
@@sirobbI did speak to my local dealer ship and they said it would need fully calibrating however i fitted the throttle body myself over weekend and it car runs great, its seems it was just plug and play after all. MPG hasn't been affected either.
@@sirobb no worries , I enjoy watching your videos. I have a crappy Volvo XC70 which runs lumpy , faults 2670 2680 2690 26B0 , Injector power stage fault. Any ideas?
No idea. A good quality fuel filter replacement has solved many a running issue though. When you have fault codes, a Read with Dice and Vida is the best way forward. Guessing becomes expensive fast.
@@sirobb 👍 thanks for your help ,ive also got injector,engine mounts, to do few other bits and bobs your videos are brilliant keep up the good work ! 2004 s60 d5 👍

Brilliant videos
Do you still have your S60?
Yes, still going strong. It will be in a couple of upcoming videos.

The swirl flaps on car in this video are working fine so there won't be a video about that unfortunately.

Isnt that the EGR Valve?
No
@@sirobb on d5 185 bhp , where is the EGR located?
I don't know exactly but there are videos on UA-cam so a quick search should sort you out.

Hi ,have you done a video on the d5 pcv breather replacement thanks .
No because they're never a problem. If you're suspecting yours, the issue is more likely something else.
@@sirobb thanks for the replies ,was going to do some general maintenance ,was just considering is it worth putting a fresh one in or just leave it .
Mine is trouble free and original at 19 years 200k+ miles and I've never heard of one needing replacement.
@@sirobb 👍 thanks for your help ,ive also got injector,engine mounts, to do few other bits and bobs your videos are brilliant keep up the good work ! 2004 s60 d5 👍
Better than Scotty kilmer that's for sure
Rev up your engines!
