Why after changing head gasket on 2004 volvo s40 would I have massive oil coming from my turbocharger across my intercooler line and into my intake manifold?

SOURCE: our 2000 volvo s40 makes a howling/siren sound when accelerating

Well if the engine came with the turbo than it is essential. It will cause a critical failure at some point if it goes unfixed. Could blow up. Could seize. There is alot of things that could go wrong from this issue if it goes unresolved and none of them are good

SOURCE: What kind of oil should I put into a 2004 volvo

We use mobil 1 0w40 at the shop. Its thin at start up so it gets to the lifters while cold then its factory viscosity at operating temp. ALWAYS use mobil 1 . Its far better than any other

SOURCE: volvo 850 smoke coming from exhaust manifold

Not to worry. Run the engine up to operating temp before jumping to conclusions and let the heat burn off any excess oil. A leaf will not do any damage.Do not let the engine overheat while idling and if the oil light comes on switch off immediately.
The smoke from the exhaust is oil deposited by oily assembly hands just burning off. It should dissipate after about 15 minutes at most.(or 5 miles' drive)

Testimonial: "yup kept running it and watching stopped smoking idle eventually smoothed out. only two problems left, bad o2 sensor (knew that before i started), and a high idle, ill worry about the high idle later. :)"

Blew head gasket and would not start, changed gasket and still wont start

Make the timing belt is installed properly, otherwise all the intake valves will be bent because it is a high interference combustion chamber. Check compression after properly timed. If you are off any teeth at all the head will need to come back off to get repaired.

How to replace the head gasket on a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

Your heads may not have to come off, you have worn valve stem oil seals, some mechanics have the gear to change your stem seals without removing your heads, this is a massive save in labour costs

Intercooler line floaded with oil

CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE INCASE OVER FILLED THIS WILL SUCK IT INTO ENGINE, IF OK CHECK YOUR ENGINE BREATHER TO SEE IF BLOCKED CAN CAUSE BACK PRESSURE IN ENGINE AND START BLOWING OIL SEALS AND GASKETS, AND THE 1ST TO GO IS THE TURBO SEALS, YOU CAN REMOVE AIR INTAKE PIPE TO TURBO AND CHECK FINS INSIDE TURBO WITH YOUR FINGERS TO SEE IF ANY MOVEMENT IN SHAFT. PLEASE DO THIS WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF :)

Volvo has been overheating put coolant in but it drains somewhere no leaks are visible now car wont start

This is NOT a good thing...Better check you engine oil. When engine coolant disappears without any signs of it leaking on the ground, it is usually because it is leaking into the crankcase via a blown head gasket, blown intake manifold gasket, or cracked cylinder head. If your engine oil looks milky, like a chocolate milk shake, it is time for major engine repair or replacement.

My xc90, 2003 volvo is smoking very badly.

i hope you are using nothing but SYNTHETIC oil.The turbo is intercooled by oil.If the turbo is gone,it will **** oil into the intake system and burn it.

I have volvo s40 2004 The engine light comes

Sounds like your dealer is feeling its way. which sensor did they say they changed and why. Do not pay for this ****, you took it to the dealer with a warning light and they say they changed something in order to attempt to cure the warning but they failed. About as much use as changing the seat covers and emptying the ash trays! When you say noise, is this a squeal, a crunch, is it continuous or is it during change gear. Does the car slip when in gear, is there vibration. Check your engine oil and transmission oil levels

My Volvo is overheating and mixes the engine oil with the coolant, however,there's no sign of coolant and oil mixture in the engine, only in the radiator and coolant lines. The oil cooler is also clean....

the oil that you are seeing may be transmission fluid if its an automatic,the transmission lines go through the radiator for cooling.if the radiator fails in that section ,it could be leaking into the antifreze,or you have a blown head gasket

2001 Volvo s40 oil leaking in turbo, smokes white smoke and turbo not kicking in. I have a new head, timing belt waterpump, oxygen sens. valve job, cam pulley all changed. It is still smoking and no turbo....

Water in combustion chamber makes white smoke--suspect that the head gasket is leaking water into the chamber. If oil leaking around turbo, it may have a bad bearing and bad oil seal. Check waste gate valve and control.
