Volvo S80 2.4T Replacing the Fuel Pump
Posted in Blog Entries, Volvo S80 2.4T
Finally did a replacement which was on my list for a long time. I replaced the old fuel pump with a new unit from Meat&Doria.
I needed to wait for the Fuel Ring Locking Ring Tool before I was able to continue as the rings (2!) sit very tight.
Car feels like new again!
Volvo S80 2.4T Replacing the Car Battery
Posted in Blog Entries, Volvo S80 2.4T
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.

Posted in Blog Entries, Volvo S80 2.4T
Bought a new Febi coolant expansion tank as the old one was tatty, old and brown.
Looks better in the engine where no one else looks, but me 🙂

Volvo S80 2.4T PCV DIY Repair / Service
Posted in Blog Entries, Volvo S80 2.4T
Repaired / cleaned the PCV circuit as I saw a lot of oil in the pressure circuit (also see my previous post: https://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.
