This Steve's Garage video is about replacing the rear cam seal on a 2000 Volvo 2.4t. This differs from the 850 and earlier V70s because those have a distributor. The 99-00 P80 cars have coil on plug ignition, and that's what this video covers.

*There is a pinned comment but I want to mention here as well - The font intake cam doesn't need a seal! I was incorrect in doing that. The dust cap is the seal. If you're having problems with it leaking you can use an oil safe sealant around the plug*

Because this video is about cam seal removal and installation on a 2000 V70 2.4t, I do gloss over the removal of everything in the way (air-box charge pipe, etc). I'm assuming if you're willing to tackle cam seals on a P80 Volvo you know how to remove all the parts that are in the way. While this job isn't difficult, if performed incorrectly you'll still have a leaking cam seal. Take your time replacing your cam seals and you'll be successful!

At the end of the video I talk about my experience with the 2.4t cam seals and how they relate to the PCV system. To sum it up here - my PCV system was only functioning properly because the cam seals were leaking. After installing the cam seals and them not leaking, the PCV system blew out the front cam seals. The PCV system port in the block was actually. It passed the glove test at idle because it was low pressure, and the cam seals were leaking. Once it was buttoned up and taken on the highway, the pressure was too great. As any Volvo owner knows, check that PCV system, and make sure its functioning! If you don't know the history of your P80 Volvo, make sure the PCV system is perfect so you don't risk getting stranded after blowing seals out.
