Volvo S80 2.4T Replacing the Car Battery

Posted in Blog Entries

Replaced the old battery with a fresh new battery. Decided to mount a larger type, as the S80 has room for it.

See the big difference in size, which should account for a little bit more performance and safety as it has a lot more power.

Volvo S80 2.4T PCV DIY Repair / Service

Posted in Blog Entries

Repaired / cleaned the PCV circuit as I saw a lot of oil in the pressure circuit (also see my previous post: http://www.ducked.nl/blog-entries/volvo-s80-2-4t-dirty-clean-turbo-coldside/ ).

Did a little research and the PCV system is almost always the culprit for such issues.

Decided to buy a complete system although ended up cleaning the existing system and only replacing the oil seperator. The tubing was quite some work, I will save that for another time.

Volvo S80 2.4T Dirty / Clean Turbo Coldside

Posted in Blog Entries

Replaced the air filter and the turbo intake pipe. Please note that a dirty intake might also point out a badly functioning PCV system!

The intake pipe was upgraded to a blue Do88.se / Do88 silicone intake pipe, which is a fair bit larger, but also deletes some bottlenecks from the original part (like the narrowing bend on the bottom and the “harmonica”).

Gives a little bit more power from the butt dyno and noticed more intake growl (which is a good thing) 🙂

Replaced the air filter. This is what a dirty airfilter looks like.

Change it on time, so your car keeps performing at peak efficiency!
