Volvo engine repair - what is it? What difficulties can there be? All the details of the Volvo XC70 / XC60 engine repair are here!
▶ SUPER site about Volvo - bit.ly/2MJEFYj

We are repairing a 2012 Volvo XC70 with a diesel engine and a mileage of 230 t.km.

Let's start with the background. On cars XC60, XC70 with a diesel engine, a problem with a jumping level of Volvo coolant is quite common. The same thing happened with our client. In the summer, the low coolant level light began to light up. For a run of 10 t. Km. the client added about 2-3 liters of antifreeze.

At the first call, the engine cooling system was pressurized. There are no leaks. Since the radiator of the Volvo XC70 cooling system was previously changed, we assumed that an airlock formed in the process of filling the system with antifreeze. To eliminate suspicions and not to repair the Volvo engine right away, the system was filled with a special installation that excludes the ingress of air. The first month the level was normal, and later on, history repeated itself.

At the second stage of diagnostics and repair of the Volvo engine, it became clear that the problem lies inside and the repair of the Volvo engine cannot be avoided. Symptoms of a malfunction of the Volvo engine - the fluid level and pressure in the system are too high.

The reason for the malfunction of the Volvo XC70 engine is the ingress of crankcase gases into the cooling system and an increase in pressure. The next step is to diagnose the Volvo engine with the removal of the Volvo XC70 cylinder head.

There are several possible malfunctions: Crack in the cylinder head. Option not the cheapest overhaul of the Volvo engine. Repair of the Volvo XC60 / XC70 cylinder head is impossible in this case, but only its replacement should be done. And the most budgetary option may be the head gasket.

Video (click to play).

In our case, the problem is caused by a violation of the geometry of the cylinder head. We fought with this when we were repairing the Volvo XC70 diesel engine. During the overhaul of the Volvo engine, the cylinder head gasket, hydraulic compensators, timing, pump, drive belts and rollers, valve stem seals, valve grinding and head groove were replaced. When choosing parts, we used Volvo parts and analogues.

The device, maintenance and repair of Volvo S40 cars

It is much more convenient to disassemble the engine if it is fixed on a portable stand. Such a stand can be rented from specialized workshops. Depending on the type of stand, you may need to remove the flywheel (faceplate). The engine is secured to the bench with bolts screwed into the base of the cylinder block.
If you do not have a do-it-yourself engine overhaul stand, mount the engine on a sturdy workbench or place it on the floor. Be very careful not to drop the engine or subject it to mechanical shock.

Before starting to disassemble the engine, it is necessary to remove the attachment from it. Even if you are going to install a new or remanufactured Volvo S40 engine, all equipment will have to be transferred from the old one. Generally, new and remanufactured engines are sold without the following equipment:
a) Supports for the power unit and their brackets.
b) Generator with bracket.
c) Starter.
d) All components of the ignition system, including sensors, coils and spark plugs.
e) Exhaust manifold and turbocharger (if equipped).
f) Intake manifold and fuel injection system components.
g) All wiring (when removing, remember or photograph the routes), switches. drives and sensors.
h) Thermostat, cooling pump and hoses.
i) Clutches (if any).
j) Flywheel (faceplates).
k) Oil filter.
m) Dipstick and well for checking the engine oil level.

Note. When removing all these components from the engine during its overhaul, remember (and preferably photograph) the exact installation locations and their orientation. This will greatly facilitate your assembly. Also remember the location of washers, washers, bolts and other small parts.

If you decide to purchase a remanufactured engine in the minimum configuration (cylinder block, crankshaft and pistons with connecting rods), then in addition to the above, you need to remove the block head, timing belt (with tensioner, tensioner pulley, idle pulley and covers) from the old engine and an accessory drive belt tensioner.
When performing a complete overhaul of the engine with your own hands, follow the following disassembly sequence:
a) Manifolds, turbocharger (if any).
6) Timing belt. sprockets, tensioner, pulleys and covers.
c) Cylinder head.
d) Oil pump.
e) Flywheel (faceplate).
f) Pallet.
g) Oil intake.
h) Intermediate section.
i) Pistons, connecting rods.
j) Crankshaft

As a result of the breakage of the air conditioner drive belt, the timing belt jumped and, as a result, the CPG hit the valves. As always, we bypass the manufacturer's traps and repair with improvised means)))).

A debilitating squeak under the hood, symptoms, how to treat and save a lot on spare parts, a replacement is not for the faint of heart, but it's worth it. I didn't cut anything, feel the whole process. Crankcase gas recirculation membrane. All my videos come out without editing, the mate sometimes slips 😉 who is interested, we are in Moscow, Matveyevsky district, contact the mail

In this article, we will focus on the repair of the engine of a Volvo 850, 1994, sedan body.
So, the main problem was in the engine: increased oil consumption (up to 1.5 l / 1000 km) and gasoline (up to 15-17 l / 100 km). Added to this are fogging glasses due to antifreeze leakage, most likely from the stove radiator.

1. Piston rings, set 9000 r. (2700 p. Goetze)
2. Oil caps, set (10 pcs) 1300 rub. (300 p.)
3. Spark plugs, 5 pcs. 950 RUB (360 p. Beru)
4. Oil seals distrib. shafts 500 rubles / piece. (125 rubles / piece)
5. Cylinder head gasket 2000 r. (600 p.)
6. Drain plug of the pallet (50 rubles)
7. Stabilizer rack (750 rubles)
8. Oil filter 400 rub. (100 p.)
9. Heater radiator 9500 r. (3700 rub.)

The cost of repairing the engine is within 14,000-16,000 rubles. Naturally, if there was a 20-valve engine, and even with a turbine, this figure would be higher.

Nothing is perfect. This is especially true of roads in Russia: pits, potholes, shaking asphalt. In Europe, where the famous Volvo brand came from, in some cities, even the tracks are washed. Since such a tradition is unlikely to reach the Russian Federation, it is periodically necessary to diagnose equipment, and sometimes to overhaul the Volvo engine. Constant vibrations due to cracks and grooves in the asphalt sooner or later deform the parts of the car, although they are of high quality. Dust streams in the air and on the asphalt clog the air filters, sometimes reaching the injection valve.

If you go through individual models, then Volvo s40 engine repair is not the most popular request. Usually, this brand has ignition problems, as a result of which the car will not start. Of course, agitated drivers quickly turn to the salon for an explanation of the cause of the malfunction.In such cases, repair of the Volvo s40 engine is not always necessary, but diagnostics will still be required.

Sometimes units deteriorate due to improper operation. So, the repair of the Volvo s60 engine becomes necessary if the owner used the wrong type of fuel, or was deceived by unscrupulous gas stations. In addition, the machine is sensitive to the presence of oil, like any other model. That is why, if possible, you need to change the oil at least once every 15 thousand km, otherwise the overhaul of the Volvo engine will become a new line of expenses for you.
Sometimes, even with timely maintenance, the motor still starts to swear. This happens due to the nature of the driver's driving. For example, the repair of the Volvo 850 engine is often associated with the failure of the turbine due to the fact that the rider did not have the strength (or time) to allow the heated turbocharger to cool down.
But it happens that both the driver and the gas station have nothing to do with it, and the problem lies in the very design of the car. So, the repair of the Volvo XC90 engine is sometimes associated with the repair of a deformed turbine, which is located inconveniently in relation to the quality of Russian roads.

First, you shouldn't ignore the strange sounds made by the engine - you need to feel the car. Over time, oil and fuel consumption may increase, some strange shaking in the motor sector may appear, or incorrect data will be displayed on the indicator panel. To master the motor of your own car on your own is a gallant occupation, but if it comes to a real breakdown, an urgent opinion of a specialist is needed. Only the experience of a close-knit team of craftsmen who understand Volvo units will be able to tell what the causes of the malfunction are. Professionals in their field will be able to analyze the car from A to Z and correct the causes, and not remove the symptoms of the Swedish carriage disease.

Volvo engines are reliable and have a sufficient motor resource. With proper operation, a Volvo engine is able to pass more 300,000 km without major repairs. But unfavorable factors and "difficult" operating conditions reduce the resource of Volvo engines to 200,000 km. Engine diagnostics and repairs are the most time consuming and expensive, as they require a lot of time (from one to several days), the use of expensive equipment and special Volvo tools, as well as highly qualified personnel.

What's the money for a current repair

About 25,000 rubles for work in our region. I don't remember about spare parts already.

The camshaft also has gaps and you pressed it completely

Lyokha 29, I agree. I don’t remember exactly how much oil wedge is in this place, but I can say for sure that its values are at the level of hundredths of millimeters. And given that the valve clearances are at the level of tenths, I think it will not do it in strong weather. Thank you for your common sense!

Greetings! You have not figured out what was the matter, why the alternator belt stratified. I have the same story on the B5204T8 motor. One stream, which was closer to the right wheel, cracked and numbled onto the lower toothed pulley, turned the timing and compression to zero. Ran after changing belts 15t.km. Tomorrow we will open our heads. Again, what do you think is the reason for the cut?

It is necessary to change the generator clutch in time.

DIY repair of internal combustion engines, automatic transmissions, CVTs, DSG. How can I contact you?

I put Frecius on the 850th valves - the geometry is excellent! Only the exhaust ones are made of an alloy of powder metals and when lapping, a particle of this powder is crumbled on the valve chamfer. If the seats are adjusted according to the equipment standards, then it is not necessary to grind the valves and there will be no such defects from the coarse-grained paste. I unknowingly changed my prom once. thought marriage. True, fine lapping is corrected but manually PPC hemorrhoids. The cavern is true in the form of a point less than a hair thick. In short, they cannot be rubbed radially, and after straightening the seat after starting the engine, the valves themselves knock. Here's a nuance.

Has the refurbished one returned with the same breakdown?

They did not check the applicants, maybe what was wedging up?

In my opinion it is s40 or c30 but not s80

Clever girl! Respect to the kid! All of Russia rests on such masters. Good luck and health to you.

What valve adjustment are you talking about, you moron. Fuck, they put the client down on money, made it difficult for themselves and introduced people who watched this video into fornication !! Idiots.

It's kind of like a manual for another ICE. Such internal combustion engines on the XC90 are up to 2006 onwards. However, I will not argue about the adjustment, perhaps it is also needed for this T6. How much, if not a secret, did they take to work?

well, and most importantly for you, dear, here is: yadi.sk/i/EsYg2K843QWGSt
hoping for your adequacy, I look forward to an apology.

Vasily Gusin, for a start, you would need to reasonably explain your point of view, and not like an aunt of a clerk to squeal and insult people under the cover of the Internet. And so you are welcome to the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. Ul 40 years of victory 72a "STO on Vakhitova". We will be glad to hear the insults in person. without your internet immunity from a broken nose))).

Well done! When my car is cold, you start the idle speed for the first time, not like 900! Even after assembling the motor, it is also not 900))))))))

Should such an engine be chipped?

Sazhko Mikhail on s / h I do not know. Official service at 50,000 announced for work. We took much less.

klapana zagnulo, ot udara ob porsnji obrazuetsja zaori v sledstvie otsutvie kompressii. toka zamena, no na etot motor vozmozno budet podoroze /

They mainly criticize the sofa "masters" who, at the most, change the oil themselves or change the air filter

Cool channel. Good luck in development) Here I have a Volvo 850 turbo automatic. The rings are normal, I replaced the valve seals, the turbine after the restoration is ideal. The problem is damn it that it doesn’t smoke by itself, but when you pile up and start the gas pedal, there’s a lot of smoke from behind. What can be, tell me !? The oil seals could not come off?

100 minders scratched their heads. Most likely something with oil seals

so at a distance I’ll hardly tell you something sensible. you need to see the car. I think any more or less trained minder will easily diagnose.understand correctly not a desire to sit and list the reasons for the smoke with a clever look)))

my friend has the same problem. put a new air conditioner belt. the piece got under the casing. that's all. valve bent. just now it will be renovated. and I bought myself the same Volvo but with a broken engine. I will change entirely

Guys, well done, I agree with the previous review, the main thing is the end result and the service life of the repaired engine. Definitely a thumbs up!

Thank you. there is no better reward for me than your words)))

all connectors are broken due to crooked hands! even in old cars (from 2000), with proper removal, NOTHING breaks down!
the author be objective please.

Tell me, What kind of engine oil should I put in there? I have the same engine on a Ford Mondeo. How can I contact you?

I will not argue))). perhaps you `re right. I think in general all people have a certain degree of curvature of the arms)))). as recently as today, collecting 126 motor from priors, I managed to pump it with a timing belt tensioner. it happens too. and who will say that they are never wrong about anything, then he is a banal liar. it's just that not everyone has the courage to admit it. but the fact that NOTHING breaks. well, it seems to me that you have gone too far or you have little practice and haven’t come across yet)))
Thank you

Tell me, at what mileage did the alternator belt break? Before this incident, were the belts changed or not?

belts have changed more than once. the client's belt was torn before that. it was torn in a similar way, but there were no serious consequences. this particular belt did not go much. I will not say for sure, but about a few thousand. that is, in Moscow, it broke at a client. there it was changed. he came back with him, traveled here a little and again the cliff, only this time already like this. I will not say more.

Well done, golden hands, now it is a huge rarity.

A good video, there is no information about this engine anywhere, there is only one garbage. Could you tell me, since you’ve already disassembled, is it possible to see the turbine blades from the side where the thick tube goes from the filter to the turbine and is it not a crap

Thank you, Caucasus on Ali recently ordered such a thing))

sorry, but I still don’t remember if it’s possible to see them somehow. it was more than half a year ago. I remember exactly that you can't get too close to the turbine. in general, the first thought, if you need to check the integrity of the blades, arises about the video endoscope. they can definitely see the blades. here. there are no other thoughts, but my memory failed))).

Didn't find any information?) Well, yes, yes. After that, you don't have to look. Even if there is no VIDA, there is a glimmer tech on D2R

I didn’t mean such information))). if I make an engine or an automatic transmission, I don’t type in the search engine “repair something out there” and I don’t look at how people do it. and even more so I do not take information from the Internet for myself as a guide for action. I am looking exclusively for technical literature on this unit. but the fact that someone has already disassembled such an engine and spread something to me is not particularly interesting).

Does any of you know how many degrees should be the ignition timing for this engine (5254) at idle?

if you believe the official literature, where the technical characteristics of the engine are indicated, then in the column “ignition timing” there is a dash and the explanation “hydraulic regulator”.

It would also be nice to voice the prices for spare parts and work

Mikola Markhel cannot be remembered now. it was that long ago. I can only say what kind of work goes out (in our region) 30,000 - 40,000 tr. Officials take from 50,000t.r.

ok, but the actor is bad, the launch was not the first on vidyukha)))

byvshev Evgen well, okay)))) I didn't try for an Oscar, but what would be informative)))

Nice, informative video.
It doesn't matter how and in what ways the repair was made. The end result is important.
Thank you, it's interesting to watch.

engine repair is a freebie. I had to go to an auto mechanic. The cook can even fix

Thank you. I thought to buy this car with such an internal combustion engine. Now I think.

Thank you . I'll go to the officials on Monday

2.5 turbo b5254t6 2008

it is difficult to say unequivocally.primarily computer diagnostics. air leaks. errors in the assembly of the engine piping.

and in truth it was interesting and informative, thanks. I insure myself just in case, I'm assembling a similar engine, if you have any questions, please tell me. how to tighten the cylinder head bolts and the cover itself?

DIY repair of internal combustion engines, automatic transmissions, CVTs, DSG. tightening torque and cover order

tightening torques are you interested in? or order?

good evening . made a thorough overhaul of the engine. the first launch took place at five, later on idling speed float. may have encountered?

Hello. car, year, volume?

Such an engine was not installed on the second generation s80, there was a B5254T6
, and the B5254T3 went to the second generation S40

the letter t6 or t3 or t11, for example, this is a modification of the 2.5T engine, it differs, for example, with a capacity of 200 hp, 220 hp, 231 hp

Please explain, please, what is the difference between these motors. Thank you.

if you did not remove the clutches from the camshafts, how did you hammer the oil seals?

before installing the camshafts, I put on an oil seal on the back side)))))

Well done, he did everything fine, - the question is how to tuck the valve, - tell me please. In older versions of this engine there are wetsuits, in the new one, as you have already sekanomili.

I am looking after a Ford Kugu 2.5 turbo, with the same engine, how do I find out there wetsuits or also cups?

On the VAZ valves, the end was hot on HDTV, here, I don't know.
Why the glasses are made, I will not say now either, but in the nineties I did the washers for adjusting the valves on the VAZ 2109 with ШХ15, fired and grinded. That's on the basis of this I am and this opinion. Can be glasses and cemented, you need to raise the literature.

maybe. but it was not by chance that the valve was chosen for trimming. the glass has, as it is scientifically correct, I don’t know for sure, hardening with high frequency current (high frequency current) to a depth of 1 micron. therefore, if you grind off this layer, then this will definitely lead to a rapid change in the gaps, because the non-hardened part of the glass will quickly wear out under the influence of the load. the valve does not differ in rigidity in different places. Well, thanks for your opinion))). if not right, I think more knowledgeable people will correct).

Yes, such trimming is like getting out of the situation, in the absence of other possibilities. At the end of the valve there will be a non-perpendicularity of the platform relative to the valve leg, which will then lead to a rapid change in the clearances. It is very desirable to grind it, it is even better to grind the end of the glass to the desired size. But as a way out of the situation, it's okay!

Well done, I did everything right.

It seemed to me, but the car was already started and warmed up a little, and then the acting game began with the first start. Cold turnover should be higher. By the way, how were the timing phases set? did you buy camshafts? Have the valve guides left the old ones?

It does not matter what kind of start, if the engine is cold at the start, the rpm rises to 1800 on these engines and holds for 10 seconds, then decreases to 1200 and smoothly descends to 800.

Please tell me! In the first 2-3 sec. starting the internal combustion engine on the same engine (ford focus st) the oil pressure lamp is on. I heard that volvo engineers did not put a check valve in the lubrication system, and your lamp went out right away. What do you think?

+ DIY repair of internal combustion engines, automatic transmissions, CVTs, DSG.
thanks!

and acting for what? well, what do you suppose? what was it that I could hide at the first start if later I could edit the video clip as I needed? to be honest, yes, this is the second launch. the fact is that I just forgot to take off)))))). but I assure you that it did not warm up. I just started it, remembered about the shooting, drowned it out and brought it back to the camera. here)))). about the timing lock. did not buy it. I did not disassemble the camshafts, therefore, there was no need for it. the valve guides were measured and since, despite the mileage, the thermal clearance of the valve stem and guides was within tolerance, the customer decided not to change them. and it's easier for me))). I hope my answers completely satisfied you. all the best)!

The topic is interesting, but dislikes for shooting.

I own a car with exactly the same engine.
There was a break in the timing belt, I changed all the valves.
If desired, you can find all sizes of pushers in the original catalogs. The valve was regulated in the same way.
It is good when it is possible to butt the valve, but when, on the contrary, the valve length and the size of the pusher are not enough, you have to order expensive cups in the right size.

I hoped from the very beginning that it would turn out to face up because I countersinked the saddles and, accordingly, there could not be a shortage in the length of the valve stem))).

This is the motor - B5254T6! B5254T3 - installed on the C30 in 2007. ancient motor

Vladimir Krachun here I am about this. but structurally they are the same.

DIY repair of internal combustion engines, automatic transmissions, CVTs, DSG. most likely in the firmware only. I had such a car in 2008, there was a 5254t6 engine - they removed 200 hp. now the 12th engine is 5254t5. 249 h.p.

What are the differences between these motors? please explain, otherwise I honestly did not understand.

Hi, please try to shoot with a tripod, so your hands will be free and the video will be more interesting. Good luck with channel development!

I will take into account thanks. thanks for the wish!

this is not a Ford motor, but a Volvo development, it was simply put on a Ford when the Volvo belonged to Ford

Did I say that this is a Ford motor? Like it was said just put on Fords.

cool i have the same problem now on c40 t5 2006. rimen also ran out. can I get some advice from a swami?

The engine in any car is the main irreplaceable element. The first development of the internal combustion engine was in the 17th century, and the peak of its evolution came at the beginning of the 20th century. And, of course, no car starts moving without starting the engine.

At each enterprise, the engine assembly process and the quality of its spare parts are very strictly observed. Volvo is no exception, cars of this brand have always been famous for their reliability in work. Despite this, they still meet. Among them, several of the most common can be distinguished:

Crash on startup
Oil leakage due to increased pressure
Starter breakage
Air intrusion into the high pressure pump, etc.

If you find any malfunction in the engine, it is best to immediately contact a specialist in a car service.

When repairing an engine, it is important to clearly determine the cause of the breakdown and carefully eliminate it, because the price of a new mechanism is much more expensive. Repair and maintenance of a Volvo engine in Moscow consists of several stages:

Diagnostics - during the inspection, malfunctions or the causes of their occurrence are determined, spare parts, isolation, and operability are carefully studied.
Troubleshooting - based on the identified breakdowns, the repair can be local (replacement of a component part) or overhaul (the engine is completely sorted out and updated).
Full check of work.

Engine overhaul for some motorists is tantamount to replacing a human heart - it continues to work, but operating at full capacity raises concerns. This opinion is erroneous and many experienced mechanics advise doing it when the car has run from 100,000 km. Indeed, even after eliminating minor malfunctions, the car may malfunction under a heavier load, while fuel and oil consumption increases significantly, extraneous noise occurs, accelerated wear of accompanying spare parts. You can cheaply repair a Volvo engine on a turnkey basis by contacting our Autoservice No. 1 company. In case of overhaul of the engine, the company gives a 1 year warranty.

Our company offers affordable high quality service. Specialists have many years of experience, constantly improve their knowledge (master classes, training to work on modern equipment).
