PCV S60 Turbo

If you have to replace the PCV assembly on certain models, you may want to check with Volvo. There was an extended warranty notice that affected certain models and may be able to have it repaired under warranty rather than paying a few hundred for parts and hours of personal labor.

My local Volvo dealer wanted to charge me over $15 for this part. Needless to say, I ordered the part from IPD for a fraction of the price.

This is absolutely a good fix. My 1998, S-70, non-turbo has 172,000 miles on it. I noticed when replacing the items, all of the old installed hoses had cracks in them. The Oil Separator box bottom outlet to the engine block was plugged almost shut. The old hoses were very brittle. What influenced me to do the repair was oil on the valve cover under the cover for the spark plug wires. Obviously I had a positive pressure in the crankcase to cause this. I would recommend when getting ready to do the repair that you get an additional O'ring that goes on the bayonette connector where the hose from the oil separator box connects to the throttle body. The old O'ring will not be reuseable. I would also recommend that you get the fuel injector O'rings just in case you want to remove the fuel rail from the intake manifold. I removed my fuel rail so I would not damage any injectors in case the manifold assembly got bumped or slipped. You can do the repair kit without removing the throttle cable or removing the vacuum hose to the brakes. I let my intake manifold rest on the plastic that covers the top of the radiator. The complete job took approximately 3 hours.

This is the fix, Period. If your having trouble after expressway driving/ erratic low stalling idle this is your problem. when it gets old it dumps fresh oil down your engines throat, what a joke. Volvo had me running in circles with reasons from AC pumps, MAF, vaccum hoses, dirty ETM to bad gas, when all along it was the PCV oil trap. IPD is fast reliable and they get you the right product for a great price, go for this without hesitation. I have 88,000 miles on the car now, I bought my car with 38,000 miles and it had an issue with this thing since I first got the car. Only took 50,000 miles to figure out.
