2000 S80 T6--Cleaning or replacing oil trap under the intake

Post by MK »

Has anyone done this procedure-- Is it similiar to the V70's? I think this is some of the cause for the poor running of our car. It has 196000 on it.

Yes, and it's a total PITA. You have to remove the intake manifold and a bunch of other stuff. Don't do it unless you have to. I wouldn't do it unless the trap is leaking oil onto the ground.
