►The PCV system is an integral part of any engine’s performance and longevity. On the Volvo C30 and many others, the PCV system is built into the oil filter housing, and when it fails, it causes the crankcase vacuum to over pressurize. This can cause the engine seals to fail, resulting in loss of oil, oil pressure, and ultimately damaging the internals of the engine.
When the PCV systems fails, you will hear a whistling noise, see oil leaking from the camshaft seals, and notice that there is unusual suction on the oil fill cap. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is imperative that you replace the oil filter housing before any serious damage occurs.
Nate Vincent is back, this time in the shop, with another DIY showing you how to install a new PCV valve and oil filter housing in his own 2009 Volvo C30.

Good video, i did the repair earlier today and I would add that you don't really have to take the ECU out the air box and you don't have to go under the car to remove the 3 bottom bolts, they're easily removable from the top. I did the whole repair on a parking lot and didn't have to get my jack out to lift the car at all. Also, i would highly recommend removing the coolant reservoir hose before taking out the air box, because it is very easy to damage that plastic hose which is a bit in the way
Awesome advisory in video as usual!!
Got a 2015 v60 with 2.5 5 Cylinder am I going to Expect this
what an AMAZING VIDEO
Man, I can’t understand how these parts go bad like this. I only have 77000 miles on this c70. What causes this part to go bad this fast.
Hi May I know what caused if the oil filter house cap keep flipping up?
Did I miss the reinstall of the self tapping bolts? Do they go back in after it’s mounted back to the block?
This seems to be a pretty big undertaking. So while in the neighborhood is there anything else that should be checked/maintained/replaced?
Very thankful for the ppl at fcp euro. I could never do this without these experts. I would have easily been overcharged by the volvo dealer(~$700)!
Don't forget these engines are in the V70 P3 too!
Seems like a lot of work
Full dipstick out too
Just found the problem today
Very informative, thanks
I acctually clean used pcv housings and replace the rubber parts in them. Rebuilding the pcv saves a lot of $$$ and is very easy.
Do i have to drain my oil while doing this or can i change out just the filter. Reason being is my drain plug is stuck
When the timing belt, pistons and valves are replaced, does the oil filter housing get removed too?
Hey I just want know how to dismantle this freaking pump from its hose I ask if you do a video about it it's a double pump on volvo s60 2008
Debating if it's worth spending $700 for the fix or DIY. Not experienced in being a mechanic but definitely not afraid to try it with this video as a reference
I have a 2010 S40 T5 . It it smoking (oil burning ) at idle and burns oil pretty bad. Would the PCV system be the problem or is it something else. Car has just over 100K on it.
Hey, awesome video. I especially like how you just glossed right over the hardest part…pulling that stupid air box. I've been yanking on mine for half an hour. I'm ready to take it out with a sawzall and put it back with duct tape.
<edit> – If you're doing this, the tab on the back of the airbox catches on the intake. Pull the passenger side of the airbox toward the front of the car while pushing the entire airbox to the driver side
Well, I just did this, had 3 bolts leftover! Fingers crossed it wasn't for anything important xD
Can you please do a video Ann how to clean the throttle body on a 2017 VOLVO XC60 T6 with the 2.0 supercharged/turbocharged engine? PS-I cannot locate the PCV valve either. Does this engine even have one?
thank you so much for such valuable video
Strong work, Nate. I started getting the dreaded "Alien Spaceship" whistle/whirl the other day. Super helpful, I get to do this on the P3 S60 tomorrow. Your attention to the small details took the scariness out of the project!
Simpler and much cheaper to only replace the diaphram!
Also goes for S60 T5 2012
Here in Switzerland that car cannot go around by law.
This was very helpful even for the S 60
