Version Divider: (formerly emission code) - ULEV (XC40/V90/V90CC/XC90/XC60/S90) / SULEV (V90/V90CC/XC90/XC60/S90/S60/V60)

Problems:

Oil leaks

The B6304T4 engine in the Volvo XC90 may suffer from oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear main seal.

Timing belt issues

This engine's timing belt may wear out or break if not replaced at the recommended intervals, leading to potential engine damage.

Turbocharger problems

The turbocharger on the B6304T4 can develop issues such as bearing wear, oil seal failure, or compressor wheel damage, causing reduced engine performance.

Cooling system failures

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to overheating, which can cause severe engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

The intake manifold gasket may deteriorate over time, leading to vacuum leaks and poor engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, resulting in poor fuel delivery, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils on this engine can fail, causing misfires, rough running, and a drop in engine power.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve issues

The EGR valve can become clogged with carbon deposits, leading to reduced engine performance and increased emissions.

Sensor failures

Sensors such as the mass airflow sensor, oxygen sensor, and crankshaft position sensor may fail, leading to various drivability issues and check engine light warnings.

VOLVO XC60 2016

The 2016 Volvo XC60 is a versatile SUV with a 3.0L turbocharged engine producing between 300-325 hp. It features all-wheel drive, curtain airbags in the 1st and 2nd rows, and front airbags for the driver and passenger. Built in Belgium by Volvo Cars, this model is designed for both power and safety, accommodating up to five passengers.

Emission Code: ULEV2

Problems:

Oil leaks

Common in turbocharged engines, oil leaks can occur around the turbo, oil pan, or valve cover gaskets.

Turbocharger failure

Turbochargers can wear out over time, leading to decreased power and engine performance.

Timing belt issues

If not replaced at recommended intervals, the timing belt can break, causing severe engine damage.

Coolant leaks

Can occur from the radiator, hoses, or water pump, leading to potential overheating issues.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or faulty fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failure

Faulty ignition coils can cause misfires, rough idle, and poor acceleration.

Pcv valve malfunction

A defective Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can cause oil leaks and increased oil consumption.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel economy.

Sensor failures

Issues with sensors like the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or Oxygen (O2) sensor can lead to poor engine performance and check engine light activation.

Egr valve problems

A malfunctioning Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can cause rough idling, stalling, and increased emissions.
