timing belt and maintenance things 900

posted by  someone claiming to be hummeri7582 on  Wed May 5 09:01 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The PCV System on a Volvo is the oil seperator and flame trap. Most cars use a different system.

I replace my flame trap and flush out all the hoses leading to and from it twice annually.

If the flame trap clogs, you'll leak oil, no matter what.

Look up flame trap replacemnt in the FAQs on this board.

Flame trap is cheap -- $4 at a dealer in the US, as little as 50 cents elsewhere. Takes about 8 minutes to do.

I'd tell you how, but I'm used to the B234F engine, and it's located differently on different engines, so just look it up in the FAQs. I always replace the trap itself (a little piece of nylon or brass with holes in it) and use carburetor cleaner to flush out the hoses and oil nipples. Don't get carb. cleaner in the oil seperator though -- don't want it leaking to the crankcase and diluting the oil.

Hope this is helpful,

Fred
