You have trashed the injector yourself. I hope you did not charge the customer for the replacement injector. On a Volvo D5 injector When you take the solenoid off the top you have to remove all the little bits left in side of the injector before trying to remove the injector, as there are some tiny bits inside the top of the injector, that get knocked out of position when you use the slide hammer. When I say tiny i mean tiny. there is a metal ball for leak back valve in there which is about 0.5mm ball bearing with a spring on top and a plunger and plate, a spacer washer and a internal nut. You have to remove all these parts and refit afterwards otherwise when you put the solenoid valve back on the top, these parts of the leak back valve will inevitably be out of place and these parts get crushed in the wrong position when the solenoid is screwed back on. the injector is now trashed and the leak back test will fail as yours did. I know this because I have done this to 3 stuck injectors in my D5 engine. I trashed 3 injectors doing this. This was a very expensive leaning curve. This damage to the injector can be completely avoided if you take all the little parts out of the injector from underneath the solenoid head, before start wacking the slide hammer. Plus if you trash the injectors and need to replace them you have to get the replacement injectors coded to the engine ECU. Using the number stamped on the side of the replacement injector. You do this with Vida software and dice connection box. Plus a day license to use the t5d5.com software. You don't have to take it to Volvo dealer to get the injectors coded.

Finally a job on my car! nice work! luckily my swirl flaps had already been done before owning the vehicle. i do have a very deep vibration noise that is very annoying. it stops when the auxiliary belt is removed and then started up. naturally I changed the aux pulley tensioner and replaced it with a new one and belt but it didn't solve the issue. i am thinking it could be the alternator pully now so I've been told? 190k and still going strong.

I know this is 6 months ago but did you sort it? it could be the harmonic damper (crank pulley) perhaps. They are made of two separate pieces with rubber in between if the rubber is compromised they can wobble, with no tension on the alternator belt it assumes it's normal position and the wobble goes...just a thought

Is it possible to reconnect the swirl arm without pulling the head off and replacing the swirl flaps?

@leegregory844 5 күн бұрын

@@jpowist if refering to the swirl flap actuator arm, then yes. This sits external of the swirl flaps and is under the engine block cover to the left of the dipstick (on a 2011 D5 engine). Would recommend getting a new arm if it's disconnected at the plastic is likely to have worn. The arms are about £8 on eBay.

@jpowist 5 күн бұрын

@@leegregory844 thanks! Is the reason it's broken likely due to something wrong with the flaps? Or just wear and tear?

@leegregory844 5 күн бұрын

@@jpowist that's the million dollar question. Two trains of thought: 1: The plastic becomes rigid and just fails after X amount of time. 2: Resistance is building around the swirl flaps that mean they could be getting clogged? For reference my car had 140k miles on the clock. The actuator arm had broken for a while (approx a year) before it came to my attention as being something important (shout out to the AA that said it wasn't for anything major). I then started to notice black sludge around the area of the arm connector and loss of power within the car and yellow/red warning lights. I'd start with replacing the arm and see how you go. My car managed a year before I had to bite the bullet and replace the swirl flaps. Easy job to be fair IF (and it's a BIG if) the injectors come out on their own accord.

nice and well editted, good work :) many people opt to removing the swirl flaps all together, is there a negative in doing that apart from probs higher emissions?

Hi, thanks for the video! Question please, why no silicon on the valve cover gasket? By the way, I left the old rubber from the swirl flap on the stick. I guess that was not good, because motor oil is dripping out by the throttle link shaft, is that possible?

Great video, really awesome to see what it’s actually like when you send your car into a shop. Seems like you guys have a tool for every job. I have a V70, fairly sure it’s the same engine or at least very similar. The little plastic arm on mine keeps coming off and I have to pop it back on. It’s my first car and I am a student so can’t afford to take it to the garage unless it really needs it. Should I take mine apart like you have done is this video to check that the flaps are still functioning as they should and aren’t too corroded? Going to order another plastic arm either way so hopefully it stays on. Thanks for you help!

@@bazmeredithhow quickly does this need sorting? The arm on mine had not been working for a while (it had broken, AA didn't know what it was for 🤦 and neither did I at the time). I now have black oily crud coming from that area (directly underneath the oil filler cap and where the arm linkage is). Would a swirl flap deletion be an option, a garage to me local said it is, but I've read that they are needed for emissions and to be road legal?
