Time to Carbon Clean THE BEAST My Volvo XC90 

Thank you.

Ha ha ha that's very kind buddy 🙌. Its not to difficult really the only pain is the clamp at the back of the EGR valve that is on a metal flexible pipe. It might be easier on a 70 due to it being lower than the 90. Must admit did my back in slightly 🤣.

Thank you buddy I didn't know that. But I no long have the xc90 so doesn't matter 😊

Thank you so much TFC that's a really nice comment. I am glad you enjoy the videos.

Your very welcome buddy I am glad that you like the video and found it useful 🙌.

That is very true 🤣

Thank you very much 😊🙌

Thank you buddy. I don't attachally have the xc90 anymore. But thank you.

Hello buddy, thank you so much for the kind comment it's really nice to hear and I am glad you enjoyed the video. You are right the D5 engine is much preferred as its better for the wait of the car on fuel and torque. But to be honest it's not that difficult to do it's just time consuming. But you never know unless you try 😊. There are lots of videos on here to show how things are done so it's the best place to find and see how to do things.

@@sparrowscarprojects-em3fe yes your right, the 2007 D5 got 400NM and 185hp, but the older (03-05) D5 had 340NM and 164hp. The T5 has 320NM and 209hp, so higher top horspower compensate a bit for less torq, but its only useful during overtaking. But you see that the T5 is about the same (only 20NM less) that the first D5, and those are a bit underpowered. It became better i 06 when the D5 185hp 400NM was launched. I guess i 2010 a even stronger D5 was launched. But anyways, We don’t use the XC90 as our main Family car anymore, so we have it as a seccondary car for pulling trailer and stuff. Therfore I installed external oil cooling radiator for the transmission. If you use your D5 for off roads and kida heavy duty driving, you should concider oilcooler for the transmission also. D5 doesn’t have it own part number for oil cooler, but use the V8 oil cooler. It fits just fine. This prevent overheating of transmission fluids, due to the original set up is only fluid to fluid exhanger between oilsump in motor and transmission, and that is not enough delta T under heavy load, or much start and stop going trought the gears like taxi driving do or high workload like hauling heavy trailers and off road driving.

@@brembodream I will have a look into that thank you buddy. Its funny as your right the euro 3 is fine in a v70 but slow in the xc90 but the 185 euro 4 has a lot of get up and go.

Ow mate it tool a lot of nail brush on the skin with heavy duty hand cleaner 🤣

Not quite sure what you mean bud.

Yeah it is rather simple to do to be honest. It's just taking the injector pipes off, Removing the injectors and then the rocker cover. The intake pipes and be a bit of a pig but it will come off.

@@sparrowscarprojects-em3fe I might be giving it a go. The kit I've found is £61, is that about right compared to what you paid? The garages round mine are looking at £500, so assuming a lot of that is labour costs.

@@leegregory844 I would give it a go mate as it will save you a lot of money. This is what I bought but check it with your car. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155666649390

@@sparrowscarprojects-em3fe ah perfect cheers pal. Appreciate that. Keep the videos coming on 'The Beast'.... Us fellow XC90 owners are taking some serious inspiration from your videos.

@@leegregory844 ow mate I am sorry to say the xc90 has been sold.

Is it the same number you are replacing as I didn't know at first but there are so many that look the same but you have to have the same code if not it will be out of whack. But mine wad plug and play.

You will have to find a garage if you can't do it yourself.
