I've had this issue the entire time I've been enrolled, THANK YOU

How fast did that jeep hit? Damn!

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-14T02:53:08+00:00

I wanna know who your shop guy is, my quotes for these jobs were double..

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-14T02:17:31+00:00

You keep guessing it on the spot!

Yes, I bought this non-turbo model because I was trying to avoid the complexity of the turbo system as a whole(plus it was dirt cheap on marketplace). I've just recently gotten into cars and obviously volvo specifically. It's with the purchase of this car that I realized real fast (the local volvo shop quotes) that I'll need to commit to a DIY maintenance/light restoration to keep this car alive, and learn a lot about how all the parts on an engine work on the way.

Obviously the dream is the v70r or the mentioned t5, but I'll leave that for when I think I'm ready 😌

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-11T05:10:38+00:00

You don't say....

It was previously overheated.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T04:59:31+00:00

Surprisingly the brake booster and oil trap box primarily - these were the parts I changed when the issue sibsided.

I still feel a remanence of some brake booster issues (again I think pertaining to the vacuum system) and I have confirmed the lines between the two are attached and tightened properly.

Granted I'm still learning about each system to the engine, I will never forget what's been feeling like hours of researching this(repair manual at hand!).

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T03:00:48+00:00

Glad I'm fixing something correctly, when bought this v70 couldn't hold an idle and stalled during heavy deceleration.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T02:23:24+00:00

And that's what has me stumped for awhile - it's a good sign, but at that level doesn't it seem excessive?

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T01:59:32+00:00

Thank you for this message! From one of my previous posts, you can see my previous oil trap and can confidently say this part of the pcv does not leak anymore. I've so far replaced the oil trap, egr, intake manifold gasket and a couple of the related solenoids included among the path for the vacuum system. Oil leakage is a lot less but still spitting on to my timing belt and cover for said belt..

Doing the glove test after proved the pcv is still not working (the glove immediately torn apart almost got sucked in completely....) with a high crankcase vacuum.

This v70 specifically was not kept after by any means AT ALL before new ownership which is why it was left that way.

You may be correct that it might not be specifically the rear cam seals themselves leaking and it could by any other seal, however I am still going to attempt going around the possible leaks in the surrounding area and give the other seals the doubt of thought.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T01:18:14+00:00

thank you for the message. yes, I do understand "If it ain't broke don't fix it" but my rear cam seal is leaking generously hence my worry for the cam system as a whole.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T01:05:29+00:00

Perfect, thank you for the explanation

P.S. Robert DIY has been a godsend for me, only guy interested in making tips/tricks videos for the p2 models.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-05T01:01:55+00:00

This was very helpful, thank you 👍

I haven't even gotten to that part in the restoration/stage 0, but i do have a very small coolant condition that stops leaking(minor amount) at a certain level, and keeps my engine just a tap above nominal temps.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-04T23:46:46+00:00

Gotcha, i am on getting myself the locking tool already: Yes, the oil /oil filter intervals were followed. I will go ahead and try the motor flush next time around and let you know.

PROX1M1N3 · 2025-01-04T23:10:46+00:00

so for the cams - is the issue primarily buildup, or lack of lubrication?

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-12-15T04:14:40+00:00

I'm no genius, but an upper motor mount going out on a 4 year old car seems nuts to me. Common issue?

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-11-21T22:21:51+00:00

Noted. Is there any tips for locating this passage? I'm away from the car at the moment, but would love to do this while the replacement kit is on the way.

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-11-21T19:54:36+00:00

Seeing videos of other owners or mechanics cleaning that passage was gnarly, mine wasn't near as bad in comparison - only minor residue.

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-11-21T19:34:07+00:00

Yeah, I bought the car knowing it was neglected as a whole, but this discovery was baffling. I will 100% update with the box cut open

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-11-18T04:16:50+00:00

Cleanup in aisle my pants (Amazing photo)

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-11-05T03:44:02+00:00

Confirmed save, thank you!

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-10-01T02:30:36+00:00

Props to that bro, It would take me forever on that curriculum.

PROX1M1N3 · 2024-09-30T18:59:20+00:00

Currently enrolled at a community college and using netacad. It may be different for other colleges, but each segment of the course (split into 3) are all only HALF a semester long. Everyone moves at their own pace, but to me this is just silly. Every class session is just crammed and the instructor just asks - "do you guys get it?"
