I prefer the multi ground spark plugs, they are around 30$ on Ebay (Bosch).
Maybe it’s just an impression but the engine has a little more torque
compared with the single ground ones.
to only replace the engine mount, does the intercooler hose ned to be
removed?
USE Volvo plugs I have 2.4T used Bosh for two weeks then the engine started
to run rough, installed Volvo branded no problem. I did gap the Bosh plugs.
thank you good video more videos is necesary sorry for my english
Thank you for taking the time to do this and posting this video! I had my
plugs replaced by Volvo once and was shocked at the price. My fault for not
researching. This video was crazy helpful!! . Didn’t know about the
anti-seize. I did use it, a small amount, and as I threaded it in by hand,
I made it point to come back up a little ad go back down on each one to
make sure it was applied to more of the thread. Again, THANK YOU! Saved me
at least $200!!
Is the spark plug process the same for the 1999 volvo s80?
No support is needed. This mount is not a critical point.
any ideas what the squeek could be?
I”m spending over $200 to replace my coil and spark plug could have done it
myself if i watch ur vid! =D
2:46 Tightening ring???? Worm Clamp.
@czwick69 the process is similar, as the design the same
My spark plugs is not Black but grey and dry! (Burned grey)
Very helpful, made it easy! Though I wish the engine mount replacement
actually showed the old mount being taken out, and the new one going in.
Thank you Alex. You saved me all sorts of grief with your video!
Thanks Alexgeo4975, for the video on replacing the motor mounts, I was
about to dish out $250 for them.
For the motor mount, push aside the small rubber ‘ears’ and look inside the
circular hole to see if the rubber inside the hole is dried out/cracked.
For the stabilizer bar, just move it around and look for cracked rubber. If
the rubber/plastic bushings look intact and you don’t hear any
metal-on-metal sounds, you’re fine! And yes, play is okay!
Thanks! : )
the engine mount sounds like a knock not a squeak
Thanks for the info, I just got my car back (today!) after spending $300 to
replace just the #5 coil pack! (Exact same model too) I could have done
this and the other four packs and all the plugs for that price, and still
have a few bucks to spare… Lesson learned! I’ll replace the other four
myself!
quite cool manual
how hard is it to replace a radiator on a 2003 volvo s60 turbo? how hard is
it taking the front end off
Thanks so much! I did the plugs and the engine mount with this video,
thanks so much! Volvo’s rubber is so bad!
Nice work, I will be changing my spark pugs today with confidence thanks to
your video!
Excellent! Thanks for posting this – I just used it to tackle both jobs
(including 1 coil change). I never would have attempted it without your
video!
Thank you for this video. I experienced a rough idle and surging when
accelerating last week. I’ve never even changed my own oil, but after
watching your video, I replaced an ignition coil and 5 spark plugs and
fixed the problem for about $120. That includes tools and parts (I didn’t
even own a ratchet). I have a 2001 V70XC and the only difference was that
my spark plugs were much deeper in the engine, so I had to run out and buy
an extension for the plug socket. Thank you!!!!
Hey great video! I just replaced #3 ignition coil and all spark plugs. My
question is about the motor mount. I noticed there seems to be a lot of
play in the bar going across the engine. Is this normal. Mine is an 05 and
looks like it has the square motor mount. How do I tell if it is gone bad
or the bushings in the bar ends have gone bad?
The electrical cord you mention at the rear of the engine is the wire from
the lambda/oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold.
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to prepare.
great job mate, I got a question though, if you use higher performance
spark plugs will it have a negative effect on the engine? I have a 2002 s60
non turbo and I have a strong feeling the plugs need to be changed due to
the moderate ticking noise from my engine when I open the bonnet.
Yh if I was you I would replace them
Can any one give some info on my 2004 Volvo S40 turbo. Everytime when the
AC is on and I put it in reverse, it stalls.
Volvo engines, old and new, are notorious for ticking. Performance spark
plugs might give you a slight boost (maybe if you’re street racing :P) but
I doubt it’ll do anything else. As long as the car drives smoothly, the
ticking is 100% normal on these cars.
there is a squeeking noise coming from the front of the car and i just had
all my front suspension replaced… could it be the torque mount??? was it
squeeking for you?
Thanks for the great video, thanks to you I won’t be breaking anymore coil
on plugs and the wired plug in, the plastic was so old on my clips that the
first two broke when I was removing them (according to a manual). In your
video I found out I could do the job without removing the clips on the coil
first. Thanks again.
Good video, except you should never put anti- seize compound on spark
plugs. It can cause issues.
Great video! Thank You so much for taking the time. You saved me and my
family a few hundred dollars.
No! The spark plugs only need to be changed every 60K miles or so. If the
oil change was done correctly, it should have no effect whatsoever on
engine performance. I suggest you take it to your nearest independent Volvo
mechanic for them to look at!
I have an s80 and i changed the plugs but i noticed one of the plugs hole
had oil in it so when i changed them it starts but drives really slow and
when you brake it takes a while to get going. What d you think it is?
nice video..also you dont need to to adjust the new OEM spark plug? just
install it directly right?
Fairly hard… Read this: turbobil(DOT)com/SMF/index.php/topic,122.0.html
