I don't think so it is still pulsing(throbbing- like im pushing the throttle and letting it off but im not. i think you know what i mean) under throttle at low revs and like it doesn't want to rev after I've started it for a few secs I don't know about the air filter. I can get that checked some time this week where can I locate that too??. on the picture from Thong is it the little pipe bottom right of the blue circle??

I think you need to hook up your motor to Volvo diagnostics, you’ll get a clearer picture.

Hello Bishop,

I have similar problem, when engine is hard to start and really jerky right after the start. It also sounds terrable... Here is a video https://youtu.be/71ERwjIHTTw

I have not been able to get to the bootom of my cars problem. I know the glow plugs are working because i tested them, then replacet them with new ones, checked if they get voltage. Throttle body also can not be at fault, becaus i changed it last winter. Also car has no codes.

If anyone has any suggestions please share.

Thanks and cheers!

That is certainly no guarantee that the flap is not sticking , why don't you try it for a couple of days without the vacuum capsule pipe attached ( block it up ) the engine might clatter a bit when turned off but do harm will be done over a couple of days , if all is ok you will need to file the edge of the throttle flap all round ..

Thanks for advice!

As I understood from reading posts sticking throttle body is a problem for models without DPF (1 single flap). I have a model with DPF (2 flaps). I replaced it because one of valve return mechanism plastic gears had snapped. But I will definitely try this in a day or 2

ahh I see , the twin throttle doesn't tent to stick but always a first time perhaps ..

Had similar issue, lots of smoke and strange rattling when cold.

After doing some research I've decided to check EGR. I've cleaned it, but it didn't help much. Then I've stripped the EGR along with its' cooler. It was full of sh*t. Completely clogged. Replaced it with used one but clear and everything is finally OK. Just needed to re-adapt the EGR in VIDA.

Evening all,
so after a few extra garages taking a look at the motor, they have said it's my valve seals that have gone as it can't be anything else, has anyone had any dealings with these?? both places have said it'll be easier to change the engine, does this sound correct to anyone??

have you taken it to volvo and had them do a diagnostic on it?

as for the "replace the Whole engine is easier than changing valve seals", theres a word im thinking of , starts with Bull,, ends in Sh*t .
sounds more like they are guessing and havent a clue so bend the customer over for a new engine.

Go and get Volvo to look at it and give you a diagnostic readout from the car.
Ask THEM about the "change the whole engine is easier than replace valve seals" they do like a laugh.

I'm not sure about taking it to a volvo dealer as I called volvo to see if mine had a dpf thinking it might be that and they said yes it has!!! nope it hasn't, they were just useless on the phone. does anyone know a rough cost for the seal change and what else is needed when it's being done?? also is there anything that can be done whilst that's being done? turbo change, cam belt etc....... thanks all
