Volvo V70R UPDATE... Does The Computer Work? Bad Turbo?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- The Volvo is back in the spotlight! But this time, I've actually put some miles on it.
And speaking of spotlight(s)... The studio is getting a lighting upgrade as well!
The 2005 Volvo V70R spaceball manual has been a reliable car as of late... But there are still some things wrong with it. First of all, it has a litany of warnings when you first turn it on. Next, it still smokes after a hard pull. But, the CEM is working now thanks to @XemodexInc so now I can actually read the codes using my DiCE / ViDA computer. While we are at it, we also perform a new glove test to see if the PCV job was successful!
A lot happens in this one!
Thanks for watching!

#Volvo #V70R #BadTurbo
So much accomplished in a single cat tshirt.
I really appreciate the videos about the V70R. The fact the you're reviving an abandoned car, a manual V70R of all things, and bringing it back on the road is quite something. Sorting out electronic gremlins and a turbo system aren't the easiest of things. Let's hope you get it sorted in the end!
Thanks for following along! I hope it get it sorted out too 😂
The steering angle sensor is a common issue on these.
The BCM/ABS is a somewhat common issue, the soldering can crack and you get all kinds of errors.
You can re-solder it yourself, but you should start with replacing the steering angle sensor, if that doesn’t work or you don’t have any communication with the BCM, replace or re-solder it.
Yes, ABS functionality requires input from SAS, so faulty sensor is potential safety issue. He needs to research his codes more..

Elliott, worn valve stem seals could be the cause of the puff of oil smoke on deceleration.
Agree. If that is the turbo it would smoke all time. Yours is only on the throttle release. So that points to the worn valve seals.
Agree. He is new in volvo game, so he kind a does not understand volvos 5 cyl engines tipical problems. I just hope that he would not change turbo without further investigations.
I’m surprised @WatchJRgo didn’t pop up like beetle juice when you started doing the lighting.
Of the hundreds of reasons why I love this channel and am a loyal follower, add the fact that this is ALWAYS a channel involving teamwork. Uncle, Dad, or your best friend with the nice watch. This channel will most definitely grow and grow and I’ll be happy to ride along
Thanks Brandon! I appreciate that a lot. I always look forward to your comments!
Elliot's future's so bright, his tee-shift cat's gotta wear shades.
😂😂😂
In ViDa you can also use 0. Thats the admin login. 2 is the regional login for the USA. I use 4 for Europe.
Saved faultcodes don't go away after fixing. You have to reset them.
So the way to go is to remove al codes. Go for a drive and read again and see what comes back.
Good to see that the Volvo is doing well:) (apart from the standing issues)
Thanks man! It’s good to have the car (mostly) up and running!
@@ElliottAlvis this is the biggest rip off car in youtube... so much money for a parts car... dont you have drivetrain waranty? send the bill to bob
@Elliot Alvis the smoking could be due to carbon build up!! Before investing in a new Turbo, clean out the engine with SEAFOAM once or twice!!
Seafoam and run some BG products. Totally transformed my 2006 v70r.
Shouldn't be eating oil like that though. Still, for $8, can't hurt to try!
@@qqslp Seafoam works wonders!
Between the cat shirts, family assistance, attention to lighting, V70R and the querky presenter this is quickly becoming my favorite automotive YT channel. Also very thrilled you're almost ready to experience your first AWD Volvo vintage RAIN SQUEAL.
Thank you! I've heard rumors of the rain squeal, it'll be an honor to experience my first one! 😂
Sludged up or worn piston rings is my bet. I tried AutoRX years ago in a car with sludged rings, made a huge difference. Also stopped smoking under heavy acceleration. Sweet V70R btw.
Hi Elliott.
Follows you and your Volvo V70R from Trondheim Norway. Here in Scandinavia there are lots of Volvos. I even have a V70 T5 m56 with light upgrades.
If you are going to autocross, the car will be much better with some upgrades. Anti-Sway Bar Kit - V70R Models, HD sub frame Bushing (4x 8678497), Lowering spring (TME, Eibach or IPD),IPD rear Camber Bushing, all UltraRacing Braces. For a turbo overhaul use a Turbo Billet "Super Hybrid" K24 Compressor Wheel, Volvo S60R/V70R. This requires good software! And finally down pipe w / race cat and a Cat back exhaust. TME has the best, but there are cheaper alternatives.
Good luck, looking forward to the next episodes.
Such a likeable car. Even while it can be oversensitive at times. It has a distinctive Swedish heart, love it.
It's certainly grown on me!
For Dad Alvis - Speaking as a 69 year old retired professional photographer, please, no more pink and blue lights. I recommend these flexible LED panels that you can get in various sizes and shapes. They are great to make a compact travel kit too. A large mic stand bag could probably hold 2-3 lights with stands. If you want to go cheap for something to light a large area I've used a shop light and a clothes rack on wheels that I've clamped a translucent white shower curtain or bedsheet on. Move the light back far enough so it covers the curtain/sheet from edge to edge without spilling around the sides. The shower curtain is easier to keep clean. Later I bought some pro grade framed panels from the German company, Sunbounce, but now I really like these flexible LED light panels available under many companies. You can use a frame, tape them to walls if you're in a small area.
I also liked to light a room used for interviews using a lantern/globe diffuser. It would fill the room with a nice diffused light and I could bring in other small lights to illuminate the people. Why I liked to use this setup was the diffused light would fill in shadows, but it wasn't great to make colors pop, like for a clothing catalog. So I'd add in some smaller lights with gridded reflectors to add contrast and color pop.
Thanks Robert, I'll make sure he sees this.
If you have to overhaul the turbo, might as well get a larger turbo! 😉
Elliot unplug the DEM (haldex module) and scan again. If you’re left with two BCM faults then the dem is causing the canbus issue and knocking out other modules. I’ve had this exact issue so to save your pain check that out. 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try!
Thanks for keeping her on the road. I had a similar problem with steering angle. The clock spring behind the airbag solved the problem.
Hey Elliott, I find this video quite illuminating!!! Thanks for the Volvo update, as in life we take the good with the bad, so it is with the Volvo!!! Thanks for sharing & I look forward to your next adventure!! 👍👍🙂
so glad you are progressing on subscribers , love this stuff
Me too! Thanks for watching William!
"Thhhiiiiiisssssssss is going to make things a lot easier" I was cracking up!
😂😂😂 I didn’t even mean to make a Doug reference, but I guess I did!
Your BCM likely needs a rebuild. Had the same issue on my old S60R, sent it out to modulemaster and they rebuilt it at a good price, did the trick just fine and cleared up those BCM related codes.
WOW! One of your best videos yet, Elliott! It is so great that you get to work with your dad and he gets to work with you on these common interests that you love so much! The Wizard was just talking about a Subaru that had a bunch of systems that would not work, including the air conditioning, all to get you to have an emissions item repaired. I don't know if I described that correctly, but I thought of your Volvo not letting a bunch of stuff work because of something unrelated that needs servicing.
Thanks Mitchell. Getting to work with my dad and have him share in these experiences is truly priceless.
@@ElliottAlvis You’ve got it made, Elliott! I used to go to work everyday with my dad and now that he is gone, I have special memories that no one else has!
Love the positive attitude Elliot! Keeping up, this is what is means to give a take at an abandoned Volvo. Which is worth it btw
Brake controll module and steering angle sensor are 2 of the most common problems on these cars. Speaking as a S60R owner. Thanks for sharing the resurrection of this soon to be collectors item.
I fixed my V70R CHASSIS SETTINGS SERVICE REQUIRED meaasge using VIDA to ID the failing component (in my case the acceleration sensor on front left shock) S/h replacements surprisingly hard to come by, at least here in the UIK, had to get one from a Japanese seller on ebay. Worked a treat, though - good luck!
Oh nice! I’ll see if I can have similar luck!
Kicked in the space balls by the 70. Got to love aging modules.
Thanks.
Be well and stay safe.
Glad you got vida going.
In the unselected section, the drop down box for each error you can get more info and tests (by clicking the image that looks like a square saying like bc2000)
You can clear the srs with vida, if you angle sensor is bad you won't get steering wheel controls I believe.
The module an be replaced with a good working one as long as you get the right one for the car, assuming DTSC and not stc, you can get the part numbers from vida.
Have you done a compression test, I can't remember. I was burning oil due to two broken pistons and you've donenthe block mod?
Vida will tell you how to fix the issue and shows you pictures of the item.
There is a vida Facebook group who will be able to help you.
Ps when my pcv, turbo and piston were bad, the aftermarket intercooler was pooled with oil, might be worth cleaning that and the piping out first
Hope some of this was some help.
Thanks! I appreciate all of the info packed into this comment!
I understand the pain, concerning the turbo. However, it doesn’t just accelerate the car. The insane amount of heat, coupled with 60-100K RPM, accelerates it’s own aging process. I just think of them, as an expensive pump; not much more costly, than some fuel pumps.
Have really appreciated this story. I recently started looking for an 850 or v70 and I find your vids, and a few others, really helpful.
A few years ago I had a 2005 model Volvo V70 D5 that was chipped to around 200 hp! It was the best car I have ever had and was very fuel efficient as long as you did not pull too hard on the gas!
Love what you done with the Volvo, basically rescued from death. But danned get the whippers fixed. And keep up the good work.
Thanks Michael! Wipers incoming!
ngl if the steering sensor AND the airbag warning is on, maybe you just need to replace the clock spring.
Well that's good you got some stuff sorted out at least. Unfortunately I'm not surprised about the turbo or the brake control module. Both of those things are common failure points on Volvo's and Saabs as a matter of fact! They can be rebuilt and that usually works out perfectly fine!
John Ross is also a lover of scissor lifts and shop lights.
Swift kick in the bean bags was pretty funny 😆
You did great. All she needs is to be less smoky and you have a very fast Volvo.
Just bought an 06 S60 R. Had one back in college and just missed it too much.. it's sonic blue. Such a fun car. It feels like a tank and a gokart at the same time.
Gpopshop sells a rebuild kit for the K24 turbo for less that 60 bucks, and a high performance kit for 175. As long as you don't have damage to it, you can rebuild it yourself. Or you can send it to them and they'll do it and can balance it. I've done them before making sure to be extremely careful taking it apart and indexing the compressor to the turbine shaft. One other thing that happens to these K24s is the turbine housing cracks, it shouldn't affect it. Glad you're getting some quality miles in it. 👍
Great to see the car improving so much and you seeing the return on all that hard work (PCV system)!!
Watching your process of understanding and then fixing the issues is very motivating as I may have a few issues on my standard Mk2 V70 that require attention! I'm not brave enough to attempt the glove test..... yet....
Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing you resolve the current issues and also, did you mention a race...???
MUHAHAHAHAHA!!
Elliot is awesome! He gets the cars that I want but know would be impossible to keep running under any kind of budget. Even the manufacturer gave up on that fiction a decade ago. Exactly: 2:40
I love watching these videos. I wanted to get a V70R a few years back, but I couldn't justify the price, so this series is a great compromise! I can't wait to see where this goes!
You could test to make sure you have powers and grounds at the BCM and the SAS to verify it is in fact a module internal issue and not a lack of power or ground to the two modules, hopefully the factory scan tool program had wiring diagrams and connector "pin outs" so you can know what wires are what when checking at the module connectors.
That's a good idea. I'll give that a whirl first.
If you're going to take the turbo out, you might as well rebuild the angle gear while it's out (has to come out to get to the turbo). They're known to leak, replace the collar gear and reseal it and should be set for the rest of the life of the car.
I think you're right. Thats a great idea!
Hi Elliot. Really enjoying the content on the SpaceBall. Depending on what the specialists say about your BCM there is something else you could try. I have an 850 wagon and I had the ABS issue. The part looks very similar. The module is "sealed"(glued), but with a bit of careful prying, heating with a heat gun and cutting one can get it open(the board is very close to the edge so be careful). To remove the actual unit is usually the case of removing the plug and 4 tiny bolts - it will then slide off the ABS solenoid housing. Once you get inside you will probably find that the plug 'soldered legs' have cracked the solder joints to the board. You may have to carefully remove some silicone protection off the board before you can get to them. Some flux, solder and a soldering iron should get that part sorted. Then reseal the box with some high temp silicone sealant and reinstall. Saved me a bundle.
Regular service prompt can be reset by holding in the odometer reset button on the left, turning the key to on but not starting it, and keep holding it until the triangle light starts flashing.
There is another course of action. You can make a signature of oil on amazon and they will deliver you a quarter every week. :)
Are you going to pull the turbo yourself? You can probably save some money in that respect and have the cartridge replaced. Not sure how easy removal and installation is on the Volvo, but I saved a lot doing this with my Saabs. The turbo placement was pretty convenient on them. Can't wait to see more!
The Volvo must live! Keep up the great content.
You've been driving the Volvo every day, well every day it isn't raining.. So pretty much every day! That's life on the surface of the sun, aka Kansas!
Don't tell JR I fell asleep during his Lexus screen swap vid. I still smashed the like button when I woke up. Good news is that I was alert for the Volvo update. Nice shirt too.
I have a VW Passat B6 with a 2.0 turbo. It uses a lot of oil as well. It's had the turbo replaced and the PCV valve several times. The only time it didn't burn a lot of oil is when I bypassed the PCV with a block off kit. But I got nervous about doing that. To be honest I am not that knowledgable in how the system works so I put the PCV back and it uses a lot of oil again.
The steering wheel clock (or angle) sensor in my Nissan going bad caused an airbag light but an unplugged seat sensor could too.
Volvo legend lives on...........give it love.
Elliott you neglected the glove test on a Volvo. Us Volvo guys are very disappointed in you for that right there but love you for saving that v70R!!!
The SRS airbag light is a code you get whenever you remove the seats. The light/code will not go away simply by plugging it in. I took the seats out in my 04 V70 for cleaning and low and behold the light was on once reinstallation occurred. Only way to remove the light is to clear the code entirely.
In other words, that code in particular is just a false positive. Should go away once you clear everything.
Not just the Volvo, but all modern cars are electrical nightmares! Don’t forget this tech and car design was around 20 years ago and I really dread to think what modern cars will be like in 5 years with less quality and far more complication than the Volvo! All this tech filtering down to cheaper cars too mean cost cutting.
Lovely to see you persevering with this old girl - at her mileage too she is barely run in! I know friends with P2s with over 200/250k and are daily drivers. A new turbo and all these jobs will give an easy another 100k on a P2 so you aren’t throwing any money away dude!
That was so interesting to see how much you could get from the computer. Love the new lighting too! Can't wait to see the Volvo progresses! But auto cross?! Will it survive?! Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks Ant! I hope the car will survive 😂
It is a Volvo, so of course it will survive. My 1990 240DL wagon is just over 380,000 miles. I would drive the old boy anywhere. Somehow in the next few years I am planning to take Arthur to the Yukon to visit my brother. At a bit over 3,000 miles each way, it should prove very much able and willing to do the drive.
@@michaeltutty1540 ahhh but it's so much more exciting if we don't know for sure and have to watch to find out 😁
Great too see the volvo is working great, from the issues😀👍
So glad you had such a productive session with the Volvo! Glad it passed the glove test..but the old glove test video still cracks me up!
Love doing the autocross stuff! Look forward to it. Hope the turbo and other parts aren't too expensive....and if they are...sponsors (cat t-shirt sponsor?)....you're moving up at 41k subs!!
Welcome back Volvo, the future is looking bright, literally!
Love your shirt. I have the Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full Hoodie. I say that to my kids...A LOT.......and they have no idea where it's from because they won't watch the movie
Such a badass car cant wait to see it completed
Hi Elliot, regarding your air bag urgent light, I thought I'd share this. My dash cluster on my '03 S-80 started periodically shutting down and repowering on. Eventually, it set an air bag warning urgent light like yours. Many functions operate through the cluster like pwr windows, sun roof etc. After the cluster rebuild the air bag urgent warning remained. The instructions directed you to have the dealer remove the codes. I took it to my repair guy who was successful in resetting things with his scanner and all is now fine.
Glad that all worked out for you Brad! Thanks for the info.
Hey Elliott, your mo and beard are looking great!! Keep up the trimming to look neat. Good to finally hear that the Volvo is just about ready. Would love to see you as a passenger in the C4 with your dad as the chauffeur.
I had a lot of features like that (and directional headlights) disabled on my Peugeot. I was about to replace the steering angle sensor when I checked the brake pedal sensor. It was DED - dead. Replaced it and all was well. Way easier than the steering sensor and calibration...
Their is a lot to learn how a car runs great job my friend.
Thanks Anthony!
Just did my steering angle sensor on my L322 Range Rover. £500 well spent, all warning ⚠️ lights went out. A win.
I love watching your Volvo content
I love that you're trying to fix this car when so many people wouldn't. :D
the brake control module can be rebuilt. I had a 1990 SAAB every light on the dash. I think the part a loan from SAAB was $2000 I had a rebuilt for $180, Easy swap.
This was a great video!
Elliott is not a “dim-witt” but he his surly dim-litt
Turbo replace/rebuild is not a big deal. You have made great progress with it.
Call Robert DIY love to see you two meet up.
I like the progress on the wagon…
Keep going
love the lighting
Thanks Jan!
That T-shirt is epic.
Great progress!
Thanks David!
Under hood heat was a huge issue on my 07 V70R. Hindsight being what it is, I should have added some hood vents, which you may want to do, since you have hood “issues” already. I’d also recommend getting a new / rebuilt turbo. Had to twice replace my clock spring, so factor one of those into your budget at some point.
I just charged the AC on my XC70...I feel accomplished today...:)..love the V70R content...
BCM faulty configuration was probably set due to bad SAS. Yaw sensor code is inactive. Replace SAS and proceed with clearing codes. Go to the delivery tab, clear DTCs, then “read all” for active codes
A quart of oil every couple hundred miles is good since you won’t have to do oil changes. Plus it should keep the underside oiled preventing rust. Glass half full thing
the airbag module, Ed of Vinwiki is having the same issue trying to pass tech with his ALSO flooded car, one of the commenters said its the seat foam and the sensor in the seat doing it, like when the foam gets wet it causes that failure light to come on from the foam deteriorating as the car cant tell if someones in the seat or not. and its apparently happened in some cars just from sitting in the car with a wet backside from going to the beach of all things
Elliott fits VOLVO so well... Accountant swagger
Nice video sir 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks David!
The fun fact about Volvo is that they used pretty much the exact same design for the ABS module since 1996. All of them fail, everyone with a Volvo has had issues with them, but they're easy to replace (on P80 cars at least you have enough room to work easily).
Easy to replace is a good thing for something that fails so often 😂
@@ElliottAlvis You may have a bit more of a squeeze with yours being a P2 generation car, but still should be doable!
Abs modules are tied to a bunch of bs in these Volvo's mine was bad when i bought the car so I pulled one out of a matching car from the junk yard and got it for $45 with the abs pump attached to it. Abs pump new or reconditioned was like $1500 and it's like $85 for a rebuilt module. Super simple install though. Good luck!
Always love the Volvo updates! Sorry to hear about the Turbo needing to be refurbished/replaced. That news would eat at me too! But now the real question Elliott... When are you going to replace the rear hatch arms so it stays up on its own again? :P
Luckily, when its warm, it does stay up on it's own! 😂 But I will still replace them. I have them on the shelf ready to go!
Nice, glad to see this going somewhere. Looking forward to seeing this thing sorted. Continue the solid content
Ok I know I’m very late, possibly too late but I think you should examine the upper boost pipe. Check for oil residue. If there is a lot of oil residue then that is a tell tail sign that your turbo is bad. Also you should check the bottom of the intercooler, there should be an oil weep hole on the bottom. If the bottom of the intercooler is coated in oil, then that is also a sign that your turbo needs to be rebuilt. Hope this helps, hope I’m not too late lol.
That Simple Green stash in the background on the shelf behind the V70R, though! :p
Your anti-skid light is the contact reel, all you need to do is disconnect the battery remove the drivers airbag and steering wheel and it’s just there to remove
Great video, Elliot. Lovely to see the Volvo getting attention. A very neat car indeed.
My old 2004 pre facelift s40 suffered the “anti skid service” second hand abs pump with bcm attached solved it without the need of a reprogram (about an hour’s work before bleeding the brakes back up)
The brake module is a standaard problem on these types of cars! The only way is to refurb it and you’re problems are over!!! Nice that everyrhing else is working! Greetz, ramon
Long roof life!! 😍
Big time dude lol
Elliot, you can clear the time for regular service light with an ignition setting trick. The warning itself comes on periodically but it is not actually a fault code and more of a suggestion for forgetful people.
Love that volvo want one one day still dailying my 240
Best part of the video, no doubt, the pilot-cat shirt
I had the same BCM faults in my '04 S60 R and replacing the brake pedal position sensor fixed it. It was an $85 part from FCP Euro that took all of 10 minutes to install. These P2 R cars seem to love throwing out handfuls of codes for singular sensor problems. Basically when one system goes blind, the whole car panics. If that doesn't help at all, I guess I owe you $80. Good luck!
I had 2 beater units with no functioning wipers. On my '85 Caprice woody wagon it had to be completely rewired from the column to the new wiper motor. Over $500 to fix. My '98 Town Car, which replaced the wagon, had to have a new switch/stalk. If your Volvo were fully functional, we would not be nearly as entertained as we are!
Idk if it’s a general R thing, but if you hold the “read” button (on the end of the turn signal stock) and the rear fog light button at the same time, then you can scroll through and see which modules have an error set. If there is no error it will say ready.
