- Front cam seal replacement: 1 to 2 hours ($25 / $115 / $425)
In this video I replaced the front cam seal on a 1998 Volvo S70. This will be the same for most Volvo cars with the non-VVT hub.

Robert, I'm the guy that bought one of your white block Front Cam Seal tools last week. Thank you for the super fast shipping. FYI for everybody: Robert's cam tool works great. The tool makes it super easy to set the cam seal in at just the right depth. A+++++
+76Starship thanks for the feedback and for sharing.
this is a great real world repair, without a $200,000 shop... well done sir, I thank you for the video :-)
+papaluca82 you are welcome
Bro you are a boss and I appreciate every single video you have put out.
Thanks for watching.
Brother....you make the best videos on youtube...period. I can't guess how much money you've saved me.
LOL For some reason I feel that you would not have made this comment if most of my videos were on fixing a Buick Regal...
@@RobertDIY Maybe not but I'm trying to keep a 2000 V70 Cross Country purring so your vids are right in my wheelhouse. I appreciate them very much
Lol, glad I have a Volvo and I try to make them clear.
just got quoted 1400 usd for the 3 seals and timingbelt. guess im learning to work on an engine. great video mate
yep.
Super helpful. Great tips! Thank you so much.
you are welcome.
Thanks for the vid! We're just about to attempt this on my friend's 98 V70R. Cheers from Canada!
cool
great video 🙏, i struggle to remember how to place the new seals, which side is in and which is out..i assume the flat surface should point outwards, help appreciated
correct.
Oh btw I had done the PVC glove test recently and it tested great
Good
I’m was doing the same thing and I was wondering how to remove the seal , thanks for the videos !
You are welcome.
Another great teaching video Robert.
Thank you.
Den. UK
Very welcome
Great video now I know what I need repaired
Thanks for watching
you're rhe go to guy when I need ro fix my car
Thanks
Thanks again Robert! I was able to navigate your videos and found that ours is the intake Cam seal that's leaking! quick other question: do you know if the timing belt tensioner arm should be moving around while the engine is running? (the piece that sticks up that you can move to loosen the tensioner) it is moving left and right while the car is running...tnx Derek
Really should be steady but I have seen some that jumped around a little.
Thank you for this video Robert!
you are welcome.
Thanks
You are welcome
I just paid a thousand $ to replace my rear crank seal and 2 camshaft seal.. i really should have do it by myself but i wasnt sure i was gonna be able to do it
Yes, expensive jobs.
+Robert DIY
Please help!!
I have 05 volvo s70 turbo, I have changed pcv box and hoses, cam seals and added the missing one from factory, a new timing belt kit and oil and filter change, I'm still getting the cam seal on intake side popping out and spitting oil onto the timing belt, any other things I should pay attention to?
Is there pressure in the head? Is there wear on the cam or head? Is the seal fitting tight? What kind of car do you have because Volvo did not make a 05 S70? Also, I have tools to help you install the seals without damaging them on my website.
Robert DIY sorry 05 v70,its a mates car,makes mean nothing to me just the engine.
i will check out what you have replied with, thank you.
Your video's are excellent. I have liked and sub'd. One question, I will be taking on the PCV repair on my 1998 Volvo v70XC but may also need to do the camshaft seals. Would it be advisable to do both of these in one complete project?
+Frets Nirvana I would do the PCV first and see if the leaking stops.

+Robert DIY Thanks for that prompt reply …good customer service is hard to find!
been looking for a video like this...my front cams are the only items i havnt replaced on my engine..it still puddles up top and comes out the back and dribbles down on the exhaust manifold and smokes more and more..i replaced the pcv ,,new oil cap..rear cam seals and full tuneup. Im a lil nervous to mess with the timing. ive been told if your gonna pull the belt..might ass well replace the rest. i wouldve liked to have seen more video footage when you removed the tensioner and how you applied the c-clamp. i was left a lil lost.
+uncasluv oh and how you put the tensioner back in...im sure this remedial for you to do..im a first time volvo owner. thanks again
+uncasluv Clean the PTC (where your pvc lines hook up to before the turbo) chances are you have a clog down there thats still causing pressure to build up. Even if the little 1/8" nipple for the line that runs to the side of the intake is clogged, you can still get enough pressure to blow oil out of the oil cap.
2009 XC90 v-8 oil leak … light White smoke right passenger side !!
ouch
Robert. I am in the process of doing my timing belt, tensioner, rollers and water pump on my Gul T5R.
I have noticed oil build up on bottom of timing cover near the crank sprocket. I believe i need to replace both front seals. I will buy the OEM volvo seals just to have peace of mind and do the job once.
Do i loosen both the intake and exhaust camshaft sproket bolts once timing has been set and BEFORE loosening the timing belt tensioner?
thanks for the feed back.
i must say its a bit nerve wracking to mess with time sprokets but your videos help to ease the nerves!
Thanks
+Marior Castillo-Azucar Are you sure it's oil build up? Any minor leaks in the cover will look dirty. Nine times out of 10 it's a minor water pump that is leaking. At any rate, you always align the timing first, then mark things, then knock the bolts loose, then take the belt off.
Good video. thanks
+Tom Knud you are welcome.
How did you break the cam sprocket bolts loose, Robert? The manual shows some kind of special holder to keep the sprocket steady while torque is applied to the bolts but I assume you used something else.
Huh? I don't even know what kind of car you have. 🤷🏾♂️
@@RobertDIY Sorry Robert. The car is a 1992 Volvo 960 and I am changing a camshaft seal. I was using your video to do the job and you did not reveal how you broke the bolts loose from the camshaft pulley. The factory manual calls for a counter torque special tool. A mechanic friend of mine came around and jammed a screwdriver in place to hold the camshaft sprocket in place while he disconnected the three bolts. I now have the seal in place and the sprocket bolts torqued. I am not much of a mechanic I am sorry to say and I rely on your videos to show me the way.
Hi Robert I took off the intake cam pulley,but there is still a hub with a large star drive that needs to come off,any idea what size it is ? I can't find any info online,thx,Pete...I can see the seal behind it,it looks loose
It's called a VVT hub. If you remove it without knowing what you are doing you will probably destroy the engine.
Why are you messing with it?

Hi Robert. I found black oil layer on my alternator. Is the leaking from that seal or somehow pcv-piping? Motor doesnt seems to be pressurised over oilcap. Thanks for tips!
probably power steering pump. But hey, I don't even know what kind of car you have.
@@RobertDIY Oh sorry! I got volvo 850 wagon with 5254s 20-valve gasoline engine.
My V50 2.4 2 just finished putting in new valves a ..it starts but runs rough. Put in new plugs . will check my timing again but i gotta say it looks right. Will the engine run if the timing is off a notch ? Like I said it runs rough and if i up the rpms above 2500 it warns me . Thanks
Yes, they run fine a tooth or two off.
ua-cam.com/video/cWKOi8D4SWQ/v-deo.html
so I checked my timing again and it seems right on. so i started it up and held it at 2000 rpms for a few minutes and the cat converter turned cherry red. Clues?
hey robert i just wanted to know if it is possible or okay to replace the front and rear cam seals while the cams are out of the engine.
update.....lol just realized the seals are big enough to slide right off.. over thought that one ha
thanks for watching.
What has been your experience on the quality of the cam seals. Both front and rear. That is those besides original volvo seals. I am getting ready to do this. (Am replacing my head right now. I am pretty sure u recommend only volvo. )
+Michael Luhrman have not had any issues with Cortico
Robert DIY thank you
Hi Robert Quick question I have a 2002 C70 with 2.3 turbo motor 166k I suddenly have a massive oil leak in front of motor seemed to happen after I really got on it... can the cam or main seal really leak that much? Or would it more likely be sending unit or turbo oil line? Thanks u da man!
ua-cam.com/video/hjZFY-1x1Xk/v-deo.html
Yes
Ok well at least I know the block didnt crack does the cam seal or main seal leak worse its pretty bad as soon as i start it it streams out.
Also I know its a know its a no brainer to put a new belt on but the water pump and timing belt were done 60k ago should I just do everything? Pump tensioner etc?
Did you pull the timing belt cover and look?
hi Robert. Marc here . thanks for the video. I have a xc90 2005 2.5t . I've been told by my neighbor that is a mecanic that is very difficult to replace the front cam seal. what is your take on it . ?
+Marcos Castilho yes it is a little tough but not to bad if you know what you are doing. I did one in a video on my Eastern US tour.
Do you have a video on a xc90 or da 70 is the same process?
+Marcos Castilho same engine, same process.
would this be the same on my ‘99 V70? I don’t know if it has a VVT hub
You may want to check that first.
hey robert, in this video you're dealing with two non vvvt hubs. now if you had an exhaust vvvt and intake non-vvvt cam setup, this job would then require a cam locking tool, as you've described in other videos, correct? wouldn't that job then be more complicated with the timing too? or aside from the spring loaded hub details and locking tool, about the same? thanks.
not sure if I follow your questions.

@@RobertDIY WOW ROBERT, you do get back fast! just checkin' this less than 24 hrs later... i actually found those other two videos, really the first one, since you answered. but thanks!
Robert, my exhaust cam is spewing out oil, I guess it's the seal, timing belt is little oily, what do you suggests to free l from timing belt after I replace the seal?
oil from timing belt
Replacement. They cost like $14.
+Robert DIY thanks for reply, my question is if it's ok little oil on timing belt, and if not how do I clean it
Dear Robert I recently did some work on an s 70 and I cant find the vacuum line for the egr valve on the intake. I also cant find the vacuum line for the flapper on my air box for my v 70. Could you please help.

Is it hard to do
I have no idea what your skill level is. Did you watch the video?
I have a 97 Volvo 850 I just right now replace the oil cap is there something else?
Something else to accomplish what?
@@RobertDIYhey Robert thanks for replying there's a leak on the driver side of the motor I can't think of anything that's overI thought it was the oil cap I was wrong about that my question to you Robert is what else over there that I can check is coming from the back of the motor on the driver side
ua-cam.com/video/vJXfQrDPK04/v-deo.html
@@RobertDIY thank you again Robert this information is very helpful to me and I appreciate it you're very good at what you do
Hey Robert, where can i pick up a tensioner pin?
+TheTiredEye use a small finishing nail.
or just buy a tensioner unit from FCP as you will need a tensioner sooner or later and you get a FREE PIN too ! FCP EURO is awesome at customer service and parts are the best you can get besides VOLVO dealership $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Hi man, In 2:00 i forgot to mark the position. What should i do? Thank. :)
🤦🏾♂️ Other than pay attention next time? Depends on what else you failed to do??? If the crank is on the mark, pull the stuff off the back of the cams and install the locking tool. Watch that video and go from there. Other than that you may want to go to my website and call me.
@@RobertDIY ok thank you, i'd been doing it alone, than i found your video. Marks on timing belt are good... I found one volvo mechanic in my hometown, he will help me...
That can be a critical job to do without instructions.
True, i just need to replace one seal on intake cam. So i thought it would be easy
I think yer spring came off from the screw ;)
+Srvjediknight SRV the one I removed?
@@RobertDIY hes trolling
@@RobertDIY I WAS THINKING same thing. But i admit i ain't been there. In theory, since spring's inside back of seal(?), it would seem possible that it was separated from [a weakened] seal when the screw 'bumped' it out. Also it distorts wen pulled out.
6:37 - 6:44 he didnt just fucken do that
I sure did. A lot of people do. It worked fine. I now have a special tool.
