On the evap system codes, they're similar to what my old Volvo V50 did. Check the fuel cap is tight and the seal is intact. I solved it by checking my fuel cap and the seal was mangled so I replaced it and boom the codes went away! Always enjoy these videos Ray :)
You are soooooo good at removing brittle old plastic connectors without breaking them. I've learned a lot from you and now break somewhat fewer older connectors! Thank you!
New viewer and sub here from Alabama because you earned it! - After 30+ years in the auto hail repair & claims business as a PDR technician, I can appreciate the challenges and solutions you demonstrate while performing your craft in public. Nice work! Although dent repair is a totally different skill, removing and replacing headliners, trim, sunroofs, lift-gates, hoods, trunks, doors, etc for access is just as tedious when dealing with the various clips and fasteners used on the interiors, some of which are one time use. Our worst nightmares are usually pre-existing electrical issues and gremlins to sort out. I really enjoy the channel as well as respect your skill, demeanor and honesty as a tech plus I've picked up several tips along the way, so thanks! The only problem I have with you is that now I find my self saying "CLICK" when anything clicks or should click. lol!
In the Volvo community we call that the torque bar, if that goes out then you pretty much need to replace the rest of the motor mounts, there is another one directly below that. If the one below it goes out you will hear a grinding noise when you let off the gas. Also don't forget the pcv system, it's on the top of the motor behind the oil cap. It will cause a high pitch squeal.
Yeah... A Volvo repair! Wife will only drive a Volvo (3d one) so I've become very versed in Volvo repairs. One of ours was rear-ended and had a bunch of those same codes... Looking at that duct tape repair job it's been hit or backed into something. I would guess some of those EGR lines are bent/broken. I know they declined but I had flashbacks to the day when my wife got rear-ended at a stop light by a tween one her phone! Thanks for sharing. P.S. I've replaced the top engine mounts on her S60 twice... Cheap parts mean doing it twice!
My old fam car was an 88 Volvo 740T and I had such fond memories in it. That being said, literally no other tech besides the one euro shop in town would touch it.
@@richardflagg3084 eh, volvo engine mounts aren't that bad... the suspension and transmission are what usually what get you. Usually engine issues are only with a small number of models and years with Volvos... including my S60R which is bad about cracking blocks if you push tuning too much of drive it really hard during the summer... or if you're a dunce and drive it on anything but premium gas.
The wife and I were driving yesterday and the gas light came on so I said. “The low fuel warning indicator is illuminated...that’s how Ray would say it”
Ray would say you and your spousal unit were motoring down the parkway when the decreasing fluid level of engine gogo juice attention illumination device illuminated. But if he said that it would need a 2 part video.
Those parking brakes got me, I bought a 2002 C220 estate which I bought from a family member, he said take it for a spin. After 15 minutes of not going anywhere he came out and said you are taking your time setting the seats and mirror. Which I replied where's the 🤬 hand brake. Lol 😂
The yellow line on the tank and one of the coolant lines also suggests that mount has been out before, via exactly the same process Ray goes through here.

top mount breaks because the lower ones are shot. Some of those codes might be solved by doing a smoke test, vac leaks play havoc with volvos. Fuel pressure can be filter or sensor.
Cant be filter because there isnt one, just a screen in the fuel sending unit. And the top mount goes before the lower ones, i have had 3 volvos and had to change the top mount in everyone of them, never had to replace lower mounts.
@@sampsani they all have filters, steel tanks volvo put the filter in the tank, but its there. If you check your lower mounts you wont have to change so many uppers. He also installed a cheapo duralast mount, that will last 6 months.
I love the wide-ranging music choices in these vids. Whoever picked the music today must have been going crazy some weeks ago when Cyndi Lauper and Corey Hart were on.
I work nights doing freight in the orange box store. I basically control the music for 2 aisles in each direction. They can vouch I could be the dj at rays shop with my genre and decade spanning playlists. It goes from rob zombie - dragula to the who - pinball wizard to bone thugs - first of the month then DMX - x gonna give it ya then Simon and Garfunkel - bridge over troubled water then Korn - blind and on and on. 7838 songs on shuffle. Even have bluegrass and Florida rock in there.
this video reminded me to check the engine mounts on my van while it's apart for other things and sure enough they're chewed through, so seems simple enough, I've got two dogbone type ones like that on the front, already did the lower one by the subframe on one side, and the other lower one appears in great shape. Worth the $77 to get rid of the noises at idle in gear.
Our S80 2.5FT is just shy of 199 000 miles. They just will not die, I'm reluctant to replace it because now it's a game seeing how far we can take it :D
Ray you are my favorite channel right now. I appreciate you and the work you do. Always making me laugh.. A luxury when life gets to the heavy, ugly bits.Thank you.
I can see declining (for the moment) the potentially expensive repairs under the hood, but how does one exist without their trunk? Do they not shop for groceries? Not need to haul supplies from the model train shops? Clandestinely transport corpses to the alligators in the Everglades? Life without a trunk is like mornings without Ray's videos. 😱
That's a bad sign for those Volvos. They're reliable but only if you're mindful of upkeep. Same goes for the smaller engine BMW sedans (318, 325, 328, 330) and the Audis that don't have the horrifically unreliable 2.0L engine. Great cars but only if maintained well. Not like a 90s camry
I work on Volvos almost all day and when I saw that you were doing the mount I was thinking please unplug those coolant lines because they break like nothing and are a pain in the ass to replace
As a Volvo owner a couple of things: doors will unlock just by having the key on your person as will the engine turnover. No need to insert or use the buttons. My trunk was stuck too. Turned out to be a fuse. I believe that is the wrong coolant. My S80 and S40 use the blue. Thanks for showing me the motor mount thing. I am better off now.
I bought an auction car. I brought to a shop I knew nothing about. I wanted an alignment but I knew it needed front end work. After they had taken the front wheels off, the manager brought me back while it was on the lift. He had a list of items. He gave them to me and showed me why the items needed to be fixed. After the alignment, I went home and ordered all of the front end parts on EBay. I did the work, without having to do any diagnostics. Struts, axles, motor mount, control arms, tie rods and swaybar links. Rides really tight!
See no problems with person denying the repairs. You take it to the shop and paid their hourly rate for diagnostic. If you are confident in your skills, why not save the money.
I never knew there were tire patches like that. I had an idea for something like that. Kind of a plug/patch for emergency repairs. Almost like one of those cocktail umbrellas, stick it in the hole, then you pull the stem out.
Those engine light codes have been brewing for some time. Where I live in the UK, if the engine warning light is on then the car will fail its annual MOT test and that means your car is off the road until it's fixed (the same with things like ABS warning lights, airbag lights and so on). I any event, it would seem the owner's maintenance policy with that car is to do the minimum to keep it running and I suspect it will go to an early grave.
@@MrShiftyeyesshady You can't just disconnect the dash warning lights as there all light up for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on as a check the bulbs are working. It the lamps don't come on, it's a dead give away (things like ABS lights and so on, same system). It would be necessary to wire up a lamp with a timer. It's possible of course, but those bulbs are normally plugged straight into a dashboard PCB, so it's not trivial either. Also, there are emissions checks performed too, and if the failure affects that it will fail.

Many Volvos go through these upper mounts every 30,000 miles or so. They can be replaced with ones that have urethane isolators instead of rubber, but they will rattle your teeth at idle. I tried one and removed it immediately after the test drive, so I resigned myself to frequent replacement of the factory ones.
I found a fix that helps without rattling teeth out. Get a polyurethane roofing adhesive and add some in to fill some of the gap. It dampens the movement without making it super rigid. Its worked great on mine.
We loved our old S80 except for the pesky intermittent connection at the ECM cable connection. Used to throw many random codes. Unplug it, plug it back in, disconnect Battery for a reset and good for another 15K miles. Think I found it and solder wire to pin with no success. I spent way too many hours with a meter trying to find the connection issue and never did find it before selling it.
since there were witness marks, I would check all motor mounts. that first one may have been changed in the past, and another one may be causing the top one to go.
That top mount reminds me of the "dog bone" used on GM 4's in the mid 80s. That thing always broke. There was a replacement that used a hydraulic cylinder instead of rubber biscuits, but that too wore out over time.
Yup. I had an '83 Phoenix and always kept a spare on hand. Don't know why they broke so often considering the engine was fairly gutless and the 2 trans mounts were stiff as hell. The mounts on the A bodies were much better for vibration isolation.

Ray have you ever considered wearing a silicone wedding band at work? They are non conductive and you can’t get your finger stuck in any tight space. People in the trades have de-gloved, amputated or gotten zapped due to a metal ring. I stopped wearing one altogether while working. It’s just a thought. Silicone rings are really cheap on Amazon.
Those micro switches on the trunk is known to go bad. Ford here in Europe use the same type on their Mondeo (Contour) and they are also known to go bad from time to time. On most Ford's there is a hidden key hole in event of that micro switch decide to not work. I think some Volvos has them as well.
That trunk latch is missing the spring, or it has broken. It is actually an easy fix the lever that you squeeze can manually be tilted forward that would need to be done each time before the trunk is closed. Pushing the leaver forward should allow the remote to actuate the switch as well.
Hey Rey...the cap displeases me as well. I have the same tank in my 2014 Mondeo. I found it easier to remove and replace once the engine is warmed up. They seem to get tight with age. I did eventually replace the cap with a new one and it was easy to remove cold or hot.
It's likely that the lower torque damper is missing, on those early 2010 3.2s they didn't come with them. The mounting brackets are still there and are quite easy to put in.
The happiest day of my life was when I saw my old Volvo leaving for the last time. Of course, my ex-wife was driving it.
Lol

in my exp, if that mount is broke.. the front one, back one, and trans one needs changed too. lol
owner wouldn't pay I'd say
Rob Zombie "living dead girl" playing in the background awesome.
luv the Zombie in the background!
Great vid and points for whomever was playing Rob Zombie in the shop, brought me back to my youth for a short minute. :D
The interior of that car is rather stylish
RAAAAAAAAY
10:00 You did not use the wrong tool, and the proof is that the tool you used worked. 😁

_Sees we're only halfway though_
WOOOOOOO YEAH, LET'S GOOOOOOO!!
Golf T's to block hoses , cheap and universal 👍👍
You lucked out with that button. I was like oh let's see how he is gonna tackle this 1 haha
Fuel pressure is likely the sensor at the right end of the rail. A REAL pita to reach the torx screw.
I replaced mine. Wasn’t too hard.
I thinking you checked the other engine mounts? OK Ray another job done.
That trunk latch is missing the spring, or it has broken. It is actually an easy fix the lever that you squeeze can manually be tilted forward that would need to be done each time before the trunk is closed. Pushing the leaver forward should allow the remote to actuate the switch as well.
Hey Rey...the cap displeases me as well. I have the same tank in my 2014 Mondeo. I found it easier to remove and replace once the engine is warmed up. They seem to get tight with age. I did eventually replace the cap with a new one and it was easy to remove cold or hot.
Thanks again Ray, needed my morning fix
7:06 oh my word 😡 oh you prankster 😂
I found that golf tees made excellent 'blockers' for small rubber tubes.
Good stuff! Will remember that one
we JUST sold one at the dealership I work at. I was debating getting it as a "beater" car hahaha
My mother bought a 2010 S70 wagon, when I saw how tight that engine was in the bay I refused to ever do more then replace the headlamps.
It's likely that the lower torque damper is missing, on those early 2010 3.2s they didn't come with them. The mounting brackets are still there and are quite easy to put in.
needed some ray today
that the best anti theft trunck button, sure the volvo is the safest vehicule!
Finally some good music playing, rob zombie in the background, lol
