In this video I share the most common problems that you may have if your PCV system replacement did not go as smooth as you planned. From failing the glove test to starting and idling issues after you complete the service.

Hello Robert! I have a 1998 volvo s70 and through your videos i have now relised that it is indeed in need of a new PCV system (oil leaks from cylinder head cover and some other parts, aswell as blows up the glove). However, the motor in it does not match this one sense its the 10V 2.4 liter engine ( B5252S ). I cant find for for the life of me a new set of PCV but more importantly, it does not have a tube that goes next to the oil cap. Therefore im stunned on how PCV system works on my car and cant get a replacment for that reason.
Ive own the car for about 1 month and the guy before me drove it way, WAY to little. With 156 250 mils on the clock the motor works fine and starts like a champ.
Thanks for these informetive videos and hope you can help me find an awnser.
Robert, from one Rob to another, Thanks a ton man! You've walked me through a few maintenance jobs on my R and given me a ton of courage! Also, your haircut looks great!
Hey Robert, my 1995 850 Turbo has compression between 145-155 on all cylinders. I have replaced all the PCV system and hoses with OEM Volvo, cleared the ports in the block (they weren't clogged to begin with), and cleared the PTC but I'm still failing the glove test and have a smoking dipstick. What's next??
Do you think I need to drop the oil pan? The car was sitting about 2 years when I bought it. I can blow through a tube in the lower engine port and I hear bubbling in the oil pan, so I know it's not blocked up.
Hey Robert I replaced my pcv system on my 99 Volvo v70 non turbo and my mechanic pulled a code saying it's running too rich and that he ran smoke through the system and it was leaking from the PCV under the manifold and is leaking from the manifold itself. He also said on of the bolts were lose. Do you think if I just tighten the manifold it should seal itself more and that maybe one of the PCV hoses aren't all the way connected. I know it's hard for you to tell when your not here to look at it but if you have any information that could help me I would very much appreciate it. And thank you for all your help in the past.
Hi Robert, I have been chasing around the issue that my 98 v70 after doing the pcv change the car is blowing out more smoke out the dip stick and not passing the glove test, i have watched all the post pcv servicing videos and cant figure it out. Do you think I would be fine driving around the way it is or should i keep trying to figure it out ?
It would be an absolute miracle, to find a rubber glove here in the UK at the moment, due to this virus shenanigans.
Robert my jeep 4 cylinder kept blowing out oil of the dipstick and making a mess,so I re- routed the line and removed the pcv valve and installed a en-valve that worked for a while,now it is just blowing oil out of every seal,but runs ok and still has good power,but I guess it's rebulid time
My V70 engine is dirty, are Volvo electrical connectors good to withstand an engine degreasing?
Hi Robert, should you rev the engine with the glove test? If so, should the glove still be sucked vacuum or is it acceptable if it inflates slightly?
the meth head wasn't using full synthetic oil …NO WAY ???????
(people following the channel will get this one)
Hey, what are your markings on your radiator hoses? Is that a note to when(miles) you last changed the hose?
Hey Robert! Sunroof dude.. again! I need a used pair of rails, specifically im talking about the parts that clip/screw in and connect DIRECTLY with the sunroof, mine corroded and flew off, please help me out!
For some strange reason my PCV system is still working perfectly in my '03 S60 (181K). Maybe because of the frequent synthetic oil changes? I've done just about EVERY other common Volvo maintenance/replacement/repair at this point. The car runs as good as new still.
Hi Robert, I'm watching you today from my part-time job. I have a 2001 V70 XC with a 170,000 miles. Overall a very nice car, but it won't run past 10 miles per hour. As soon as I press the gas pedal it blows off the hose from the throttle body. It is (was) securely clamped and I even had a heavy duty zip tie on it for backup. I have done many replacements and am in the middle of the PVC system. I bought a kit from the good folks at FCPEuro. I did find some blockage in the banjo bolt, but the ports into the engine were clear. The large aluminum pipe was disconnected and someone had but a bolt in the rubber hose to block it off below the engine mount. Before I put all this back together, is there anything else you think I should do? It is a rather ominous job that I don't want to have to repeat. Thanks, from desperate in SC. So far all is well here, and I do hope life in Albuquerque is good.

concise, clear, knowledgeable … classic robert.
Great video. What would be the good range on compression test?
