You guys wore me down. I went out and found a Volvo engine, after YEARS of requests! I know it not a 5 cylinder but that doesn't mean that won't happen in the future. Today we tear down a 2.0L 4B204T11 from a 2015 Volvo XC60. This engine was replaced at just 101,683 miles at a dealership. Today we tear this engine down to figure out why it was condemned, and it what happened.
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling blown and bad engines to salvage the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do.
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
-Eric

My 2006 XC90 had over 285,000 miles on the 2.5 , 5 cyl ran beautiful. No problems . Someone ran Head on into it , saved my wifeās life but the car was totaled . Sadly wanted to reach 500,000 miles on it.

After watching this, I feel incredible happy over my vintage Volvo (B5244S2 with real oil rings )š24 years and 620 000 km, still perfect compression and emission levels. The plan is to keep it running for 1.000.000 km, what could posibly go wrong š¤Ŗ

If you ever want to do another Volvo engine teardown Iād love to see one of the 2.5L 5 cylinder turbos

I have gotten pretty proficient at disassembling motors thanks to this channel. Now I need him to show me how to reassemble them all!

This was a very interesting video for me. I bought a Volvo T6 2015.5 model brand new. I think it has the same basic engine plus a supercharger in addition to the turbo. That way it gets more torque and about 300 HP.
This is what happened to me. Before the second oil change, the oil quantity light came on due to high oil consumption, i.e. low oil level. I was very surprised when I was told by the Volvo dealer that that was expected. I insisted that a new car should not need extra oil after driving about 1,500 miles. After additional complaining the dealership told me that my car needed a software update. After that update the oil light came on after about 2,000 miles. I think the update was to turn on the light at a lower oil level than the initial default level.
After about 30,000 miles, not counting oil changes, I had added about 18 gallons of oil to the car. Eventually the car ran out of warranty. At that point the dealer came to us and told us that they recommend some major engine repairs to correct excessive oil consumption. This was very upsetting. The problem had been documented since the car was new, and then, when the warranty expired, a nearly $10,000 repair was necessary.
I complained to Volvo in Sweden and they got Volvo USA involved. Going back and forth for about two weeks, exchanging details about the maintenance history, Volvo agreed to repair the engine, without charge to me, as if it was still under warranty.
After the repairs, the oil consumption went away, and I have not had any other major issues with the engine since. However, it was unpleasant for me to deal with the local dealership and their stance. My situation could have been very different. Had they done the repair early on, I would have been a customer for life. Instead they managed to convert me to one time buyer.

Define irony: engines created for efficiency, under the guise that they are better for the environment, can easily end up burning oil and spew out the byproduct. These low tension low friction rings were a problem for so many in this era. Subaru Toyota Volvo, who else?

What?? No water pump?? I feel robbed! Lol

Iām not a mechanic, but being poor when I was a teenager, I worked on engines continuously because I only had junkers. I still donāt know what causes bearings to spin! Is a lubrication thing, overheat, or something else? Iām now near eighty years old, and I eagerly await each of your videos! Thank you for making them.

As soon as i read the title I guessed what caused the failure. 2015 and early 2016 were notorious for burning oil due to those inadequate little oil rings. Sometime in 2016 they switched back to a more standard ring and no longer seem to have this problem. I have a 2018 S60 with 90,000+ miles and so far I haven't had to add oil between changes. Also I have heard that Volvo accepted responsibility and replaced the rings on some of the 2015-16 model cars at a discounted rate.
Finally I love the content you provide. Keep up the good work!

Simple, well designed engine. Just an issue with the oil control rings and the owner didn't do maintenance.

I'm on day 34 of quitting smoking/tobacco, this channel and 'Curious Cars' channel(highly recommend!) have been on autoplay for basically the entire month and I really think it helps as therapy! the videos are low-stress and funny.
Eric, your channel is great and I really have no criticisms. You are entertaining, informative but not over the top with obnoxious click bait strategies (mouth agape thumbnails, movie reference cut-scenes, etc) . This channel actually makes me want to buy an old blown engine (probably a Ford 300) and disassemble it in the garage.
Thanks!

Volvo was one of the very first to the "4 cylinder all the things" party and they did a pretty good job. Granted, being boost-nuts since the early 80s gave them a lot of experience.

My dad told me that during WWII, because no new cars were being built, nor new parts made, him and his friends used to replace worn rod bearings with strips of leather from old boots (or belts). They could nurse a few more miles out of old engines that way. Pans were easy to remove back in those days because they were designed for owners to work on, unlike now.

I have an xc90 v8, such a massively underrated vehicle. Everything works on it!. Every switch, every feature!. Fantastic vehicle, i got it for 300 bucks cos he filled it with diesel!. One fuel pump, tank drain. And she is good as gold! 195k miles, burns no oil.

Volvo very recently increased the time available for the warranty for oil consumption issues. The 2012-2016 T5s had a new ring design that lead to severe cloggage and thus oil consumption.
I just had my pistons & rings replaced on my vehicle at 95k miles on the dime of Volvo. She was drinking 1.2 quarts per 600 miles.

I leased for 3 years, a 2015 V60 4 cyl turbo for my wife. It blew grey/black smoke out the exhaust when she drove up the hill when the car was new. No dipstick to read the oil level. I was adding 1 qt of oil every 1000-1500 miles when the add oil light came on. When I took the car to the dealer for every service, I complained that there was a oil burning/usage problem. They documented my complaint, but they did nothing. I didn't care, as the car was leased, and I was turning in the car at the end of the lease. Nice performing engine, but an oil burner/user from beginning to end of lease.

Oil rings were indeed a common problem on these engines in the first generation. A facelift made the rings a lot bigger. Belt interval in the netherlands is every 120.000km (75.000 miles)

Informative video.
I have a '95 850T. 296K miles,runs like a scalded cat,as they say.
Unopened engine,original:turbo,transmisson,catalytic converter.
Uses a quart of synthetic oil every 1500 miles.
My own maintenance.
NO rust anywhere. Maryland.

I work for Volvo as a Factory Technical Instructor. Before I became an instructor, I wrenched in the shop for 22 years. 5 techs, we saw 7 engine fails TOTAL. In 22 years. Today we see an occasional broken valve spring or burnt valves. Volvo's generally are rock solid š if properly maintained š
