Volvo PCV Replacement 2001-2009 2 5L Engine. If you own a Volvo, eventually, you're going to have to replace the PCV system, and realize these don't have that little PCV Valve that takes 5 minutes to replace and costs $20. Oh no! These are MUCH worse! The Volvo's use an oil trap system that is a more complex design. It allows the engine to run cleaner, but at the cost of having to replace the system regularly. I think most people suggest about every 100,000 miles or so. My Volvo has 176,000 miles on it and was just barely starting show signs it needed replacing. So, on a cold, winter day when I couldn't do anything else, I put the heater in the garage and got busy replacing my PCV system with one I got from IPD Volvo. Since the throttle body was easily accessible during this, I also took the time to clean that. I also went a step farther and replaced my fuel injectors. Those are super cheap these days so, since I had to remove the fuel rail, it was a good time. I use remanufactured ones from a good source and the car runs noticeably smoother.

This install is NOT for someone who isn't very well acquainted with working on the engine of a car. It is a very time consuming process, with lots of "gotcha's" and fiddly bits along the way that require you to be patient, stay calm, and think your way thru the problem. You will be working bent over a lot of the time, in tight spaces too. If you have no problems with that, then you can save a ton of money doing it yourself. My garage wanted roughly $1,300 to replace the PCV system. Even with the extra bits, lube, fuel injectors, and an oil change afterwards, my cost was under $300. It took 8 hours, part of which was taking time to record video, but it's all done and ready for another 100,000+ miles now. I documented some of MY steps along the way. Come along and hopefully some of this can help you too.
