Manual
About this manual
The instructions in this manual are designed as support for mechanics with basic training as per Volvo's competence standard.
It is extremely important that the user of the instructions first read through the general safety instructions tied to most function groups.
Writer philosophy
As of 2006, a new writer philosophy has been introduced to the instructions in the mechanic section. In previous instructions, detailed text was
written and supplemented with figures. In the new method, we do the opposite.
From 2006, the instruction focuses on the figure and text is only used when it is impossible to show the complete work method in figures.
Warning texts indicate any hazards applicable to a procedure. Warnings mean risk of personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
Caution texts indicate that there is a risk of damage to the vehicle or equipment if the instructions are not followed.
ote texts provide important additional information that is required in order to carry out a repair.
Environment
Always follow local safety regulations when disposing of environmentally hazardous waste or pyrotechnic (SRS) components.
Technical content
Illustrations in the information may be reused from previous models and may therefore deviate as regards the background's motif. The technical
content relevant to the operation is, however, always correct.
Screws coated with friction-generating or sealing elements as well as lock nuts are screws used with lock nuts shall always be replaced unless the
instructions specify reuse of the original screw or nut.
Screws or nuts that have been angle-tightened shall always be replaced with a new one.
Gaskets and O-rings shall always be replaced unless the instructions specify reuse of the original gasket or O-ring.
A new decal shall always be affixed after replacement of a component with safety decal. No decals may be painted or permanently covered in any
other way.
All tools and equipment used in the instructions are in Volvo's aftermarket standard (A10 - Tools, Equipment & Information). (E10=English,
A10=Swedish).
The instruction shall contain links to or all necessary information to perform the operation in a manner that ensures quality and personal safety.
If the spare part is a repair kit, the entire contents of the kit shall be used.
Links
The philosophy is to avoid having information on a specific component in more than one spot in the system. To do so, the instructions often use
links that take the user directly to the correct information for the component to which the link refers.
After having followed one or more links and carried out the respective measure, the user can always return to the previous method by using VIDA's
"Back" function.

Symbols in Service Information
Symbols
Symbols
Symbols are used to supplement or provide further details about the procedure.
Symbols contribute to reducing the amount of text. These are designed to be easy to understand and prevent misunderstandings.
In order to clarify the meaning of the symbols an explanation is also provided.
Localization symbols
Localization symbols are used to simplify localization in the procedure.
As the images are reused, the silhouette may not correspond with the selected vehicle model.
1. Sedan/coupe/convertible view from above. A red circle or a line indicates a focused area.
2. Station wagon, SUV, view from above
3. Sedan, view from side
4. Station wagon, view from side
5. SUV, view from side
6. View from below
7. Coupe/convertible, view from the side (roof closed)
8. Convertible, view from the side (roof open)
Tools
The symbols denote that a specific measurement instrument or tool is recommended for the working procedure.
There are a great number of torque spanner systems available on the market where the spanner grip can be replaced with other types. These wench
grips are normally ideally suited to torque tightening screwed joints in poorly accessible places.
There may be occasions when torque tightening of a screwed joint must be followed by angle tightening and space does not allow the use of
protractor (part number 951 2050 BEVEL PROTRACTOR See: Tools and Equipment/951 2050 Bevel Protractor ). In these cases, use either a nut,
a screw head or a tool. These are usually hexagonal and each corner is
. If there are twelve edges, each corner is
°
60
30°
.
To angle tighten, mark the material and nut for example as illustrated and then tighten so that the markings are opposite each other.

Images in Service Information
Images
Image philosophy
A new image philosophy has been introduced in 2006 for instructions in mechanical working procedures. In previous instructions a detailed text
was supplemented with images.
In the new instructions it is the opposite.
From 2006 the instructions focus on images and text is only used where it is not possible to show the entire working procedure in images.
Color symbols
1. Used for focused component, the component with which you will do something.
2. Used for retaining elements or components to be removed/installed. Can be screws, clips, connectors, etc.
3. Used as extra colors, which needed to show or differentiate additional components.
4. Used for standard tools and special tools.
5. Used as background color for vehicle components.
6. Used when the component is not fully removed from the vehicle but only hung to the side.
Order number
A figure in a circle denotes the order in which the different stages in the image are to be carried out.
Views are sometimes chosen that show components from another angle and which do not correspond with how you see the components when
working on the car to make the images clearer. For example, this is done to show concealed screws.
When working on the bevel gear it is possible that you see it from this angle when installed in the car.
Always switch off the ignition before connecting and disconnecting control modules, connectors and the breakout box.
The ignition must be switched off when taking readings with an ohmmeter.
The control modules must not be heated to above 80°C. Remove control modules when stoving for example.
Arc welding
Always disconnect the battery negative lead to prevent a short-circuit.
Position the welding ground as close to the welding site as possible, otherwise different ground potentials may be generated in different
components.
When welding close to an electronic module, the unit
Replacement
Do not replace a control module without checking its wiring and components. Otherwise the new component may be damaged in the same way as
the old one.

Caulking
Note! Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.
On engines manufactured of aluminium the camshaft bearing housing (1) cylinder block (2) and the intermediate section (3) may be caulked.
Note! The cylinder heads that are chill-cast may not be caulked.
Each individual case is assessed as to whether caulking can be carried out or not depending on the location of the oil leakage.
Caulking involves in the event of leakage knocking the material together using a special caulking tool.
Two caulking tools are required. Use centre punches (1). Grind down the tips so they become round. One is to be ground so the rounded tip (A) is 2
mm. The other is ground so the rounded tip (B) is 4 mm.
Note! Use the protective goggles supplied with the leak tracing kit.
Isopropanol, 1161721
Use:
Use an UV light to localize the pore. Carefully wash round the pore with Isopropanol. Check with a UV light that all the oil has been removed.
If the pore is small, it is sufficient to place the tool (2 mm) directly on the pore and hit it with a copper or plastic hammer. If the pore is larger, angle
the tool (2 mm) and drive the material in a circle toward the pore (2). If there is a lip around the pore, caulking (tool 4 mm) should be carried out in
a spiral form toward the pore (3).
Drive the material toward the pore (1) using the 2 mm tool. Seal using the 4 mm tool (2).
Isopropanol, 1161721
Use:
Wash with Isopropanol. Check with a UV lamp that there is no oil around the leakage point.
Test drive for 45 minutes as set out below to reach an oil temperature of about 80°C.
1. Allow the engine to idle for 20 minutes.
2. Test drive the car for 15 minutes.
3. Allow the engine to idle for a further 10 minutes.
Check using a UV light that the sealed area no long leaks. If leakage remains, repeat the caulking.

Thread inserts, general
Damaged threads can in most cases be reconditioned using HELICOIL thread inserts.
Thread inserts are available in a variety of sizes, pitches and lengths. A correctly reconditioned thread will generally increase the strength of a joint.
Use methylated spirit or similar to lubricate the threading operation in aluminium. Thread longer threads in stages, backing out the tap and blowing
the tap and the hole clean in between.

There are times when the cap nut cannot be used because of space restrictions. On these occasions the guide should be taped into place.
Note! As the thread insert for the spark plug thread is thinner (finer) than usual it is extra important to not pressure on the pin when
inserting the thread insert (both in the nozzle and the material).
Twist the thread insert down and check that the upper thread is at least a half thread down into the thread and that none of the insert protrudes into
the combustion chamber.
If the insert has been screwed in too far it must be turned until it is all the way through. If it is not deformed it can be inserted again.
Break off the tang with a pair of flat nose pliers. Check the thread. Install a sparkplug.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Control (CVVT)
Camshaft Control (CVVT)
When the camshaft is set at the factory, it is aligned with the position of the crankshaft. The position of the camshaft in relation to the crankshaft is
designated the camshaft 0 position.
During camshaft control (CVVT) the camshaft 0 position is offset. The value of the 0 position offset is called the cam timing. The cam timing is 0
degrees if the camshaft is not being controlled.
By controlling the cam timing (the camshaft is deployed from its 0 position) the performance of the engine is increased, the idle speed quality is
improved and the emissions are reduced.
In order to detect the cam timing, the engine control module (ECM) uses the signals from the engine speed (RPM) sensor (the position of the
crankshaft) and from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor (the position of the camshaft). By comparing these two signals, the control module is able
to determine the cam timing (the number of degrees the camshaft is from its 0 position).
There are diagnostic for this function. See also Camshaft diagnostics (CVVT).
Camshaft cam timing
The camshaft (A) is divided into four flanks per revolution of the camshaft (flanks 1-4). The angle between flanks 1-2 = 103 degrees, flanks 2-3 =
90 degrees, flanks 3-4 = 90 degrees and flanks 4-1 = 77 degrees. The angle between the flanks is different, allowing the control module to
determine which flank it is detecting and therefore determine which combustion cycle the cylinders are in.
The crankshaft has four reference positions, one for each camshaft flank. The camshaft turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. This means that
two reference positions are detected for each turn of the crankshaft. Therefore two engine revolutions are required to detect all flanks on the
camshaft. For example (may vary between different engine variants): flank 1 at 0 degrees, flank 2 at 206 degrees, flank 3 at 386 degrees and flank 4
at 576 degrees (flanks 3 and 4 are detected during the second engine revolution).
The reference positions of the crankshaft coincide exactly with each camshaft flank if the camshaft cam timing is 0 degrees. If the cam timing
deviates from 0 degrees, i.e. the flanks deviate from the reference positions of the crankshaft, the control module calculates the number of
crankshaft degrees by which the flank is deviating.
The control module detects the reference positions for the camshaft flanks using the signal from the engine speed (RPM) sensor.
Example:
If camshaft flank 1 is detected at 10 degrees from the crankshaft reference position for flank 1 (0 degrees +10 degrees), the cam timing is 10
degrees. If the cam timing is the same (10 degrees), flank 2 is detected at 216 degrees (206 degrees + 10 degrees), flank 3 at 396 degrees (386
degrees + 10 degrees), and flank 4 at 586 degrees (576 degrees + 10 degrees). The cam timing can be positive (+) or negative (-) depending on
whether the flank is detected before or after the different reference positions for the crankshaft.
The engine control module (ECM) controls the camshaft reset valve smoothly in order to regulate the camshaft cam timing. The valve controls the
flow of engine oil to the continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) unit which is affected by the oil pressure that builds up. Also see Design.
Control
Control takes place as follows when deploying the camshaft:
Control takes place as follows when returning the camshaft:
1. Oil is forced from the engine lubricating system to the intake port on the reset valve
2. The engine control module (ECM) grounds the valve, the position of the piston in the valve changes and the oil is guided to the continuous
variable valve timing (CVVT) unit chamber (A1) via the duct (A2) in the camshaft
3. The continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) unit hub is pressed backwards by the oil pressure. The continuous variable valve timing
(CVVT) unit then rotates the hub and the carriers are joined by twisted splines
4. The oil flows to the engine oil pan via the outer ducts on the hub and the reset valve's return hose.
1. Oil is forced from the engine lubricating system to the intake port on the reset valve
2. The engine control module (ECM) breaks the ground connection for the valve. The piston in the valve is then pressed back by a spring. The
oil flows to the continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) unit chamber (B1) via a duct (B2) in the camshaft
3. The hub of the continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) unit is forced forward by the oil pressure that is created. The continuous variable
valve timing (CVVT) unit will rotate back to the nondeployed position
4. The oil flows to the engine oil pan via the center duct on the hub and the reset valve's return duct.
The above takes place very quickly. The engine control module (ECM) controls the deployment and return of the reset valve continually at high
frequency. This results in rapid and exact control.
The extent of camshaft control (the change of cam timing) varies depending on the engine variant and the model year.
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Knock Control
Knock Control
Knocking occurs in the combustion chamber when the fuel and air mixture self ignites. This can occur either before or after the spark plug has
produced an ignition spark. In both cases the gas in two or more places ignites in the combustion chamber.
This results in an extremely fast combustion process with flames from several directions. When these flames collide, the pressure in the cylinder
increases rapidly and there is a mechanical knocking sound.
If any of the cylinders knock there is a specific type of vibration in the cylinder block. These vibrations are transferred to the knock sensors (KS)
which are screwed into place in the cylinder block. The resultant mechanical stress in the piezo electrical material in the knock sensors generates a
voltage. The engine control module (ECM) can then determine which cylinder is knocking with the help of the camshaft position (CMP) sensor and
the engine speed (RPM) sensor.
The knock sensors (KS) also interpret a proportion of normal engine sound. The control module is able to recognize the vibrations which
correspond to knocking by filtering, amplifying and using software to evaluate the signal.
If the knock sensors (KS) detect knocking in the engine over a certain threshold value, the
mixture is enriched to eliminate knocking.
ignition timing is first retarded and then the fuel / air
The camshaft reset valve controls the oil flow to the CVVT unit (camshaft pulley).
The valve consists of an electro-magnetic valve with a spring-loaded piston. There are slits in the piston which channel the engine lubricating oil to
the CVVT unit by moving the piston in the reset valve. The continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) unit turns the camshaft (the cam timing
changes). The direction in which the camshaft turns depends on the chamber in the CVVT unit which is supplied with oil (pressure). Also see
Function.
The system relay supplies the reset valve with voltage. The valve is grounded (control stage) in the engine control module (ECM). When the valve
is grounded using a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, the oil flow in the valve can be controlled to the different chambers in the continuous
variable valve timing (CVVT) unit at variable rates. This allows the cam timing to be changed precisely and steplessly.
The engine control module (ECM) can diagnose the camshaft reset valve.
The valve is on the cylinder head above the camshaft with camshaft control.
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Control
Variable valve timing control
Continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) control, general
The engine combustion can be improved by changing the shift angle of the camshaft. This reduces emissions, gives lower fuel consumption and
better performance. The shift angle of the camshaft is controlled by the control module which changes the pulse ratio of the reset valve. The pulse
ratio of the reset valve affects the variable valve timing unit which changes the camshaft position compared to the
ensures quick and precise control of the shift angle of the camshaft.
°
Definition of "Camshaft shift angle" (X)
When the camshaft (A) is set at the factory it is aligned to top dead center (TDC) on the crankshaft which is 0° (B). The camshaft position when
aligned to the crankshaft TDC is the camshaft 0 position (0°). With continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) the camshaft 0 position is offset, the
value of the offset of the camshaft 0 position is the camshaft shift angle (x°).
The control module interpretation of camshaft shift angle
(The illustration shows the camshaft shift angle at 10°)
The camshaft shift angle is checked by the control module by comparing the position of the crankshaft with the position of the camshaft.
The camshaft (A) is divided into 4 flanks per camshaft rotation (flanks 1-4). The angles are: between flanks 1-2 = 103°, flanks 2-3 = 90°, flanks 3-4
= 90° and flanks 4-1= 77°. The difference in angle between the flanks allows the control module to determine which flank is currently detected and
therefore which cycle the camshaft is in. The control module detects the flanks using the signal from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
The crankshaft has four reference positions, one for each camshaft flank. Two reference positions are detected for each crankshaft rotation. Two
engine rotations are required to detect all the camshaft flanks: flank 1 at 0°, flank 2 at 206°, flank 3 at 386° and flank 4 at 576° (flanks 3 and 4 are
detected during the second rotation of the engine).
The reference positions on the crankshaft correspond exactly to the respective camshaft flank when the camshaft shift angle = 0°. The control
module detects the reference positions for the camshaft flanks using the engine speed (RPM) sensor signal.
If, for example, the camshaft shift angle is +10°, the flanks correspond to the crankshaft reference positions for the respective camshaft flank and
+10° from the crankshaft reference positions.
Example:
If the camshaft flank 1 is detected at 10° from the crankshaft reference position for flank 1 (0° +10°), the camshaft shift angle is 10°. If the camshaft
shift angle is the same (10°), flank 2 is detected at 216° (206° + 10°), flank 3 at 396° (386° + 10°), and flank 4 at 576° (586° + 10°). The shift angle
can be positive (+) or negative (-) depending on whether the flank is detected before or after the different crankshaft reference positions.
Adaptation of the camshaft shift angle, flanks 1-4
(The illustration shows the adaptation of the camshaft shift angle at 10°)
When the engine has the "basic setting", the ideal value for the camshaft adaptation value is 0°. The different camshaft flanks correspond exactly
with the reference positions for the respective flanks. These values may deviate because of tolerances in the materials and installation. By adapting
these deviations the camshaft shift angle can be exact.
Adaptation is carried out as follows:
Camshaft control not active, the pulse ratio on the camshaft reset valve is set to approximately 90% by the control module. This means that the
camshaft 0 position (mechanical resting position) is assumed and the camshaft angles (x°) for flanks 1-4, which are then detected by the control
module, are the adaptation values which are stored. (The adaptation values will be 0° if the camshaft adjustment in relation to the crankshaft is
exact). When the control module operates the camshaft to a particular target value, the stored adaptation value is added to the control module's
target value.
Example: The control module has adapted flanks 1-4 to an average value of +10° (as the result of an incorrectly set camshaft for example). When
the control module needs to operate the camshaft to +10° (target value), the adaptation value is added to the target value which then gives a target
value of 20° (10° +10°=20°).
The control module can adapt ±20°. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the control module if the adaptation is higher or lower than ±10°.
Other information:
-If the timing belt is incorrectly positioned by one tooth on the variable valve timing unit, this corresponds to approximately 17° on the
crankshaft. This gives a theoretical adaptation value of 17°.
-If the timing belt is incorrectly positioned by one tooth on the variable valve timing unit, this corresponds to approximately 34° on the
crankshaft. This gives a maximum adaptation value (20°)
-The setting of the variable valve timing unit in relation to the camshaft and crankshaft affects the adaptation value (between -20° and +20°)
-If the slide in the camshaft reset valve has jammed, the camshaft will be operate at maximum angle. This which will give an adaptation value
at the maximum limit (+20° or -20°)
-The function of the variable valve timing unit affects the adaptation value (between -20° and +20°).

the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Cylinder Leakage Test
Cylinder leakage test
General method description
The cylinders can be checked for leakage as an alternative to a compression test
Using this method, the amount of leakage at the engine cylinders is measured and it is possible to locate the source of any leaks.
A similar check can be performed using a compression gauge by injecting oil in the cylinder. However, this can cause a build-up of coke!
The result will not always be decisive or precise.
In addition, the VIDA station or the Volvo System Tester (VST) must always be connected afterwards to erase any diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs).
How is the cylinder checked for leakage?
-The engine should be run to operating temperature so that the thermostat is open
-The piston in the cylinder that is being checked must be set to top dead centre (TDC) at the compression phase
-A metered air pressure is connected to the relevant cylinder via an adapter that is secured in the spark plug / glow plug well
-A gauge is used to measure the size of the leakage from the cylinder.
This is a pressure sensor with a regulator and displays the size of the leak expressed as a percentage.
This allows the extent of any problem to be determined.
Fault-tracing
The source of a leak can be located by analyzing sound at the following points.
A mechanic's stethoscope or a rubber hose can be used as a listening device.
Note! There is leakage at the piston rings even on a perfect engine.This is the only place where a small leak is permissible.
Check
If a leak is detected that is assumed to come from the valve system, first check that the piston in the relevant cylinder is at top dead centre (TDC).
Then try to set the piston just prior to top dead centre (TDC) and redo the test.
When repeating the leak test on the same engine, there are usually variations in the results of the measurements.
This is due to changes in the engine coolant temperature (ECT) and the piston not reaching the same position as in the previous test, and is affected
by the amount of oil on the piston rings at the time.

For every cylinder there is a classification letter stamped (C, D, E) on the top of the engine block.
First letter after the digit 1 corresponds to the classification of the cylinder bore in cylinder 1 and is then followed by cyl. 2, 3, 4, 5.
Cylinder selection is determined by the classification of the cylinder bore. For example: Cylinder class D must have pistons marked D etc.
Installing piston rings
Caution! Make sure that the piston rings are not stuck and that they turn easily.
Note! Incorrect positioning may result in higher oil consumption.
Use piston ring pliers. Turn the piston rings so that the openings are offset as illustrated.
A=Compression ring. The text on the piston ring must be upwards.
B=Scraper ring. Chamfered edge must face downwards.
C=Oil ring. Three sections, identical on all sides. First install the expander ring (C), then the two other rings over the expander ring.
Warning! The lock ring can easily fly off. Wear protective goggles
There is an arrow marking on the upper side of the cylinder. This must be turned forwards in the cylinder block.
The connecting rods are symmetrical and can be turned freely. Marked rods however must be turned in the same direction.
Assemble the connecting rod and piston with the piston pin. Check that the classification and any numbering for each cylinder/piston diameter and
connecting rod correspond.
Install both the snap rings on the piston pin. Check that the snap rings are positioned correctly in the piston. The opening must be vertical.
Wipe clean around the bearing recess in the connecting rod and the cap.
Installing the main bearing shells
Always use new bearings.
Check these for colour marking. The bearing shell with a black colour coding on the side (1) must be installed in the connecting rod.
