You may wish to contact one of the two sharks listed here to inquire about joining their class action. https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2022/volvo-oil-consumption-class-action-blames-piston-rings.shtml I have done it on a 2012, I removed the engine/tranny and went from there. I was under the impre...

Cannot say on your car, but maybe check this: I know on the S60 it is MUCH easier to pull both at once, the issue is you cannot slide the engine far enough over to clear the tranny before it is hard up against the frame rail, they have to come out as a unit.

I am rebuilding my wifes S60 T5 2.5L Turbo as it was burning a quart of oil in less than one tank of gas (!). No comments on the damage done to Volvo corp. as a result of the train wreck caused by these series of engines. 2012 B5254T5 was the first when they resumed T60 production and perhaps the wo...

Thank you for your reply, I am curious, did this fix it for you?

Merry Christmas!

LOL! I do feel your pain Mr. Parker...

"Keep you sane"? Perhaps a bit too late, but it may have slowed the unstoppable progression.

I have clipped your comment about tools and sent it to my wife, I will let you know what she says on that.

All the best

Hello there, I would not touch it because they only used that engine for one year. As you likely know 2012 was the first year they started making the S60 again, and they changed the engine (my opinion only the piston rings) for the 2013. If the car has over 100k miles, and the PCV unit has never bee...

Hello, I could not get your video to play but there is a common issue for that car when the PCV system fails, the PCV valve does not close at idle. The valve should be near closed at idle (high manifold vacuum) and modulates to open at higher RPM. When it does not close at idle this very high crankc...

Hello, I am not a expert but do have the PCV system off my 2012 S60 T5 as we speak. The "catch cans" you mention I believe are after market devices designed to trap and return oil to the crankcase, not the intake? The can would need to install in the rubber line from the factory PCV to top...

In reply to Oragex, thank you for your comments. The PCV on this car is a Mann-Hummel built unit. They are a huge company that among other things mfg a wide range of oil separation/crankcase pressure control systems for engines from small to high HP diesels. The unit is fairly complex, I have not se...

Thank you Jimmy, my post is about this specific car which definitely has a problem! I have one question for you regarding your post: "On some Volvo engines the piston is changed to hold a wider changed oil ring and on others (the 5 cylinders) The oil ring is changed to have a stiffer oil ring. ...
