Most common Problem Volvo new 4 Cylinder engines

In this video, I show the most common problem Volvo has seen on the all new 4 cylinder engines that are used on all models. Now, they only make 4 cylinder engines.

Have an old 98 s70, and is a great car. I work on my own cars, and really am thankful for you guys. A few great teachers to learn from. Robert helps "me complete the task at hand". Love that guy. The 50s kids for bmw 3, is another great guy. It seems like you are another great teacher that I will be learning from. We bought a s60 recently and look forward to watching your videos. Thank you....thank yall.

My wife and I current own 2 XC60s. First one is a 2011 T6 Rdesign and just recently bought our second one. A T6 and we purposely avoided the 4 cyl engine and went for the 6 Cyl. Pulls strong and drives smooth as butter

Great compilation! I struggled with the diagnosis of the chirping sound emanating from the crank pulley area on my 2016 XC60 2.0L. Finally figured it out, 3 months before the posting of this video. Your description of the failed PVC breather box is spot on.

Subsequently, this video also helped with trouble shooting of the low pressure fuel sensor.

Hi VolvoGuy, thank you for this awesome video! This is the first proper summary I've seen so far. Unfortunately my XC90 T6 2016 blows out blueish, greyish smoke randomly. I swapped the engine last year: shitty piston rings and faulty oil level sensor lead to fatal engine failure. The used engine that was installed has a maximum mileage of 50.000. First guess was turbo seals, axle, etc...but turbo seems to be fine...no oil in the hoses...no noise...no power leakage etc. Second guess: piston rings - again. But borings look fine (engine was endoscoped)...Compression test perfect....spark plugs clean. Now my third guess is the PCV: Although I heard that some vacuum is normal / good (glove test) I experience that my oil cap is literally sucked in like hell, when I try to open it with the engine running. If I disconnect the main PCV hose, the oil cap starts "dancing" on top of the PCV and I get a low to medium vacuum. The air filter is more or less clean. Do you think my PCV is failing or starting to fail? Or do you have any other solution? Best regards and thank you very much in advance!

Just got a S90 T6 (65k miles) 2 months ago and got the lean code. They replace the O2 sensors, PCV, and 2 other parts and the code came back. Turns out it was the supercharger leak (hopefully) and they just fixed that under warranty. Glad I stumbled across your video, good to know the common problems.

Interesting, volvo tech in UK and never seen any of these issues apart from 02 sensor. But 90% of what we work on is diesel.
Thanks for the video

[derrickdaly]

Great video, the diesels suffered from the same Oil consumption, crank seal & balance shaft issues

Ive had 4 ”Geely” volvos so far. 3 T8 and one D5. Now i drive T8.
Only issue ive had is windwasher fluid needed to be refilled sometimes.

Great Video. I work at an independent Volvo shop and I'm starting to see a lot of these issues as mentioned with the 2.0 engine, especially oil consumption and the P0171 lean code. One other problem I've noticed is the MAP controlled thermostat setting a P0597 code, usually due to coolant leaking through the connector. In a few cases I've had to replace the ECM due to coolant contamination. Also the plastic coolant pipes cracking and leaking.

Turbocharged B230 from 1993 is still running strong at 300K miles. Just passed California Smog Test with original Cat and O2 Sensor.

Considering buy one of these vehicle and it's great that we have folks like you who share such valuable information.

[ivankuzin]

Oh, makes me remember my good old D5252T, sold it with 500 000 km, engine unopened from factory :) Most reliable car I ever had!

[markwatkins]

Thanks for all the helpful info !!! Have a 2015 V60T5 with almost 50, 000 miles. Only use Chevron 93 and Pennzoil 0W20 plus Lucas synthetic oil treatment. So far, so good !!!

I’ve got a i4 16’ v60 T5 at 108000 miles and I’ve run into pretty much all of these problems except for the last two you mentioned (as far as I know). And the starter just went as well…Otherwise, great car lol

[lynskyrd]

I'm keeping my 2003 S60- my daily at over 347, 000 miles. Engine runs smooth- doesn't leak or BURN oil; tranny shifts on time and no body rot... AC work too- NEVER need a recharge. Normal wear item replacements only; struts, rotors, brake pads, timing belt- if it aint a 5 banger- it aint a Volvo. Drive safe everybody.

This video is required viewing for every Volvo owner. As a long-standing Volvo owner, I did not trust these 4 cylinder engines. I rebuilt my 3.0 T6 vehicle instead because it’s a great car.
I’ll probably wait until their next gen EV vehicles prove themselves in the marketplace. No one should have to work this hard or worry this much to have a dependable Volvo.
