Ive been looking forward to your videos on the V50 as they will be useful for tips on maintaining my C30 👍🇸🇪
Good job my friend. It's clear to see it's always advisable to flash the coolant a few times for best results.
Your accent make the video that much better! Thanks for this DIY..the only other video forgets the oil cooler
best volvo content on youtube as usual!
Great stuff! Good to see an enthusiast taking care of his vehicle. My coolant in my c30 T5 looked terrible when I bought it at just 50 000 kilometers, a few flushs later you cant see difference between new coolant and from a sample from the coolant tank 🤟 😁

Great video. This was so helpful... thank you!
What happened I was waiting on your xc60 valve cove replacement !i rely on you for everything on repairing my xc 60 recently changed my xc60 serpentine belt and pulley and tensioner and it was really easy “ most time spent on taking stuff apart “ you really the best on total internet.please don’t listen to the haters and keep up the exemplary work “ love your work “ brother 👍
Greetings from England brat. You are my hero!!
Thanks to your video I can replace my coolant expansion tank😍
Nice video i have to say that engine compartment looks brand new.
Great video. Keep em’ coming. 👍
Your vehicle engine is very clean! 👍🏽
Looks mint
Thanks for another great and very helpful video. Would you mind sharing the make of your ramps (sorry if you have mentioned them in a previous video) I am trying to buy a set but cannot find any with the quality that I’d be happy with.
Thank you and keep up the great work. I really enjoy your videos.

Thanks for your video, through my experience/problems with my oil cooler, with my s40 T5,that brown residue at the base of the water bottle is probably the oil from a leaking pipe or previously damaged/changed oil cooler.
Cleaning the bottle and flushing the radiator should restore it.
I have not seen anymore new video for your 240. Will you be doing a video on servicing the flame trap/oil separator canaster/PCV system on your Volvo 240 soon? There are not many videos on PCV system service for 240, the quality of your videos consistently are awesome. Thank you!
You could have flushing with a softer mixture of coolant. If I'm not mistaken, it's possible to flush with only water.
That's how it's usually done
Very well explained, thanks
What about hose replacement? How often should that be done? And I gotta tell you that your UA-cam channel has saved me THOUSANDS of dollars on my 2011 XC 70! It looks exactly like yours, by the way, except for being the gasoline version. :) So thank you very much AGAIN!
It really helps too to use a compressor with venturi valve. Suck all the air out of the system and use the negative pressure in the system to suck new coolant.
Great video. I will do the same as you. Thank you!
Just bought a C30 and my tank looks all gross too. What's up with that? Thankfully the tank even at the dealer is super cheap, so I'm just gonna swap it out and do a flush. Great video as always. Thanks to Volvosweden's channel, my geriatric Volvos run foreverrrrrrr!!! ^_^
The coolant tank starts to crack as it gets old. If you see any cracks in your tank, change it before it starts leaking. It is exactly the same coolant tank as a Ford Focus and many other cars...
It's not "exactly" the same. Shop had at least 2 different models for 2.0d
@@QrisuMies One of the Ford Focus coolant tanks is exactly the same as a Volvo.... I mean exactly... manufactured by same company...
There is a service bulletin regarding the coolant changing color to what you had. It’s actually most likely still fine and which can be confirmed by measuring with a hydrometer. I had the same thing in my S80, however as it checks out fine I’ve left it alone for now.
Did not like how it looks under the hood.
I have the red coolant in my S60 too.
Probably they changed the coolant before I bought the car.
On the Dutch Volvo forum they say that these 5 cilinder engines need the original green Volvo coolant like you put in your V50. Can you confirm that these engines need the green coolant?
I will replace my coolant when weather gets better in Holland. In the moment it is freezing so I am not going to do that now.
What do you think about your Volvo V50? Has it been a good car to you?
I am thinking about trading my S60 in for a S40 with 2.4 litre engine. But I heard a lot of stories about the quality not being as well as the older S60 ones. They say the subframes will rust. I am thinking about the S40 or the same model S60 as I have now but then one of the very last model years 2008/2009.
@@lukemallory7832 thank you for your answer. Yes, that is my observation too. The S40 which has been developed under Ford has a lot less interior space than it's predecessor. In fact, this S40 is based on the Ford Focus which was a c segment car. The first S40 was based upon the Mitsubishi Carisma platform which was a much bigger car than the Focus. To me the amount of interior space is not that important. I don't have a family and I am always driving alone. Important for me is the original 2.4litre Volvo engine. Preferably with the 5 speed manual.
Thanks for the information.
If you run engine while you run heater, you get a lot of that other coolant in the heater core out the first time. Had great results doing that with my 2.4i V50
When flushing with distilled water keep an eye on the temperature gauge. Distilled water tends to boil faster then coolant or even tap water.
very nice.thank you
Have you had any problems since changing the coolant?
I have just changed the coolant in my V40 following your guide.
Mine was orange like yours and I have changed it to genuine Volvo green.
Great video! Do you know the size of the drainpipe underneath? I was thinking och putting a hose there when chaning my coolant.
Было бы интересно посмотреть как ездить зимой с муфтой хальдекс при заносе в поворотах.добовлять гас или нет.какое идёт распределение тяги на оси.спасибо.
Thank you! What is that software you use to see how to change and repair your car?
Hi there, thank you for your videos. I have an volvo xc 90 from 2005 and haldex 3...I have to change the pump but first of all I have to remove prop shaft. Is there any video to see how to do it? Thanx for your help@ Igor
Nice videos❤🇳🇴👍
Does the metal washer for drain plug need to stay? My old one is rusted and volvo doesn’t list a replacement
Please clean any coolant spilt on floor. Cats love the taste and it gives them an awful death 😢
what causes water to leak from the expansion tank through the breather in a volvo s40 2.4 l 2006-7 model?
Hello. Please could you make a video of the thermostat replacement. I have a Volvo xc70 2.4d 151kw Bi turbo 2010. I searched youtube for 2 hours for such a video. Thermostat in all different places
Did this but I flushed it with 10Liters of distilled water while the drain plug is removed and the car is running.
I then added the 50/50 coolant until I saw coolant dripping on the basin.
Easy job. 30mins should do it.
Same here !!
With the heat on and don’t let the tank go empty
@@lucast594 yes!
Well done,that is much better,do you consider replacing the timing belt and water pump as a preventive maintenance as you said in the video that the coolant age is 15 years old,and when are you going to fit cover caps for the headlight washers?
For timing belt and waterpump replacement look for FCP EURO
Hey where can i get the splash guard screws? Or what size are they? I got a new splash guard as mine tore off
I thought the engine is suppose to have a drain plug some where the P80 cars do have it.
It's always a nightmare for me to Open the reservoir.
I've already changed the reservoir and cap and still the same??
Great
I fill up the coolant reservoir with new coolant and it doesn’t drop at all even if I start the engine.
Hi, i have a 2013 xc60 that needs coolant flush, can you do it and also how much you gonna charge me?, thanks
Maybe 5 lb ft on the coolant drain plug on my 2005 volvo s40 with 164,xxx km and it snapped right off :') rest of it still in the rad no leaks but need to remove and replace the drain
смысл был промывать антифризом и сливать потом его когда промыть можно было дистилятом! What was the point of flushing with antifreeze and draining it when you could flush with distillate?
@volvosweden Dear sir I put a used instrument cluster in my 2012. Xc70 Premier, 2 in fact first one wouldn't light up but it would do a service reset and put old one back and it changed to the miles on to what was one the other one, they sent me a replacement and everything on it works but it kept the miles from the first try shows instantaneous mpg average mpg shows accumulating mileage shores ,can do the get rid of your maintenance reminder it had that showing up I guess it picked it up off of the second one reset the service reminder but now the guage it the fuel gauge shows totally empty and it won't show miles to empty because it thinks the gas tank is completely dry although it's showing me how many miles I'm getting instantaneously and how many I'm averaging is there some trick when you swap out clusters that you need to disconnect the battery or something so the whole system or reconnect or is it a programming problem from all I've seen you do with the newer ones I'm using the same model both of the ones they sent me are in pristine condition out of wrecked cars and up there both from xc70s and yet I can't just unplug one and plug another one back in and get either one of them to work fully functionally what on the world is going on in the computer's brain any tips on what I could do maybe disconnect the battery for a few hours or something to get the gas gauge to work and the miles to empty because everything else in it is working just fine without having to go to the dealer who wants $350 to diagnose it and most likely will tell me that it's a problem with the used clusters and they want $1700 US BUCKS for a brand new cluster William williambollinger@hotmail.com
@volvosweden Your videos have saved me thousands of bucks
I also have a leaking windshield reservoir is it a major project to get at it to see and fix the leak??
Thanks so much I've saved so much learning how to use and fix things 😊
What you see in reservoir is Setiment from Water...
Termostat does not open until 90 degree celsius. The heat you feel from the vents is from the Electric PTC element located down at the climate control unit.
Please change the termostat and the temperature sensor when you allready have drained the coolant out. Termostat will fail eventualy. Mine has. 160.000km.
Here in Sweden you dont need to use destilled water, you can take the water from in house tap. It meets the Volvo water specs.
This is great info! Electric PTC element !? Did not know about it. At 18600km changing the thermostat will be a waste of $
@@volvosweden 30 euro from volvo dealer.. really cheap.. and can be bought for like 10 euro from germany. Really easy job.
PTC element should be connected to fuse F5 if i can remember correctly. The PTC elements function is to heat up the cabin fast. Until the termostat opens and heat is distributed through the heat exchanger..
Hi, how do you find access to the service manuals?
I need to change the electro-magnetic clutch on my 2014 XC70 deisel A/C compressor and cannot find any information on the method of doing it. Most of the recent Volvo cars seem to accessible through the wheel arch slash guard but on XC70 there is a subframe right across in front of the pulley. The subframe is also curved underneath the pulley so it is not possible to get a spanner on it. The compressor is also driven by a small belt behind the main alternator belt which has not tensioner to slacken the belt so I assume it must just be forced off. Any ideas? Is it something you ever had to do on your XC70? Hope you can help, thanks.
I believe he gets it directly from Volvo using Vida. You can pay for a temporary license and download everything if I'm not mistaken. Need an old laptop with Win 97 tho. Haha.
Is the heater core connected to thermostat?
I always drive german cars but the heater core gets heat from engine straight away, so when coolant temp on dahboard is at low i get warm air already
Someone mentioned an Electric PTC Element maybe its an electric heater so we get warm air fast... Very nice to have heat right away
why did you change the radiator drain plug? Is it mandatory or did you think it was better to change it as a precaution?
In my opinion, after reading around it shouldn't really be used to drain the rad anyways..... a super brittle plastic design so better thru lower rad hose... This was a good precaution to change it out for new one so prevents leaks
I think I have air in my cooling system. And I don't know how to remove the air. Could you make a video of how to remove air from the cooling system?
Did you let it run up to operating temps?
I have Volvo s40 2006 and its look completly different from the bottom :(
The problem is that if the coolant reservoir looks new people think the car has been in an accident
I have a video to prove! ;)
Good point
Thanks very helpful
Привет, вольвовский бачок 1 в 1 от ford focus 2, код 1425193. Крышка 1301104.
Why don't you just to drain with distilled water instead than to wasting coolant? It doesn't have to be right at 50/50.
V50 AWD ?!😳😳😳
Yuri, can you do this also on your XC70?
I will this Summer.
Looks like old rust and debris in the old coolant tank
Rusty coolant. Losing coolant. Guessing it’s likely the water pump and not the radiator
I'm I missing something here. ? 🤔 have you got yourself a different Volvo.
I have three now. XC70, V50 and 240
there is no need to change coolant liquid. that what volvo says
how important is to buy genuine tank? ((
Up to you really. I would get original
Maybe just use distilled water if you gonna drain more than once. Otherwise you’re wasting money on coolant
Лайк. В топ.,👍.
No
Residue is rust
Thx
@@volvosweden That rust is consequence of lack of coolant change. You can blame the former owner...
На Русской сделайте! Пожалуйста!
The Volvo v50 is the worst model in 10 years. Nice video. My backlights still working that i by from your gay i russia.
Pucko
To be fair, they are still a lot better than the majority of cars in their class. I've had my V50 for three years and it's been excellent, but they do need to be looked after.
Спасибо, это было любезно медленно. Спасибо большое спасибо.
Но я живу в Швеции, где делают хреновые машины. Имеет сам v 70, это лучший Volvo из когда-либо созданных. Хороший каблук. мвх PUCKO
