Another PowerPulse blowout...
Well, a first first for me but hardly a first for the forum.
If anyone's curious what it sounds like when it lets go, my dash cam caught the event: https://vimeo.com/379450058 Checking under the bonnet, the hose just blew off the end of the metal spigot adjacent to the inlet valve/turbo on the right-hand side of the engine. The crimp is still intact on the end of the hose. Fortunately no damage to any other parts. Just annoyed that it needs yet another dealer visit. Steve |
What I don’t understand is - at the speed you were driving at the PP system doesn’t activate.. why would the compressor be pumping air?! It sure seems there’s an issue with pressure control/compressor kill switch.. Volvo seems to be dealing with consequences rather than tackling the cause..

We had a loud bang and a hissing sound like that coming down the M6 March last year which I presume was probably the hose but only found out a few weeks ago when it was serviced, if that is what it was they didn't pick it up on the service last year.

I don't have the problem, but my daughter's partner does. His has been in for replacement, I think 6 times. Apparently Volvo wanted to charge him for extended warranty to cover any future failures. He has threatened to take them to court for supplying a car not fit for purpose. The more of you who follow to Volvo UK, not through the dealer, you may (!) get a better response. Apparently the Chinese owners are getting tighter on cost.

The PP plumbing is not fit for purpose, and Volvo is going to find itself in hot water when all those D5s are out of warranty. Steve |

To make matters worse a big end bearing went at 90,000 miles. Mercedes said that should never happen so they contributed 50% of the cost. Warranty Direct the rest. Now that’s what I call a garage treating the customer right and supported by the manufacturer. |

This is the first actual video of a blowout that I have seen- and up until now I have been assuming that it blows shortly after a quick acceleration- ie. when pump is working at the max. |
