►Like many modern European European engines, Volvo’s near-bulletproof SI6 engine relies on a mechanical vacuum pump to provide the negative pressure needed for braking and other systems. However, they all tend to go wrong in some way. In Volvo’s case, they love to leak oil, but you can fix that at home by replacing the vacuum pump seals. Replacing the vacuum pump would also work, but a seal kit is 15% of the cost of a new one and fixes the problem just the same.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s Professional DIY’er, replaces the P3 Volvo XC70 vacuum pump seals.

Great video. Beautiful clear pictures with clear explanations. Worth watching even if you don't do that exact repair. I was wondering a little why you don't use some electric tools especially with so many bolts to undo.
I'm assuming they have a different design for the 2 liter models? With that kit, do you also get the bolts or is it only the gaskets?
@16:43 It wouldnt be a bad idea to change the o-rings on the vacum line,
my GTI had a vacum leak when I changed the pcv,
it turned out to be those freaking o-rings,
now it works fine
So genuine Volvo kit costs less than OE? Im missing something here…
It’s an ELECTRICAL vacuum pump, not electronic!
It does use some electronics, like the alternator circuits, but the main part is an electrical motor.
Let’s just be congruent and exact when naming things.
