Crankcase pressure question
Okay I replaced the pcv system and the car runs well. However I decided to do the glove test and placed it tight over the filler cap. It sucked in slightly at idle and when I reved it high it inflated very and I mean very slightly and very quickly and very quickly returning to the same amount of vacuum it was at idle. Is this normal or should I be checking something else now as a result.

The PCV system si the weak link with this engine, caused by the hoses themselves, and not using fully-synth oils. Remeber Volvo have yet to make a car or hose for you.
See: http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/for...ic.php?t=53448 Keep an eye on it, if it settles to -ve as you describe it will be OK. The permanent fix... and it's the only way, is to now throw the lot away and repalce with £15 of heater hose. If you're going to do real miles or keep it, you'll be forced to in the end.

You could just ignore it!!
Lots of nonsense around here regarding this Pcv . I've got one on 270k owned from new and has been like that from the factory. |

Given that we're talking about the PCV system which handles hot oil vapours definitely not heater hose, if you want a bigger hose get something resistant to oil and petrol vapours, heater hose will be degraded by the oil vapour and could end up totally blocked.

As I understand it, the glove test is performed at idle. Momentary pressure as you raise the revs is not important.

I think it's vacuum at idle and as it under load it equalises to atmospheric pressure

IT is perfectly fine ,there will be momentary pressure on speeding the engine .The vacuum afterwards shows the pcv is sucking out the fumes as it should .Main thing is you have not got smoke puffing out of the dipstick hole .

At idle it is supposed to be + 2or3 kilopascal....not even .5psi.....but definitely on the plus.
