Gachet Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi everybody, I hope this message finds you guys well and safe. I have a C30 T5 2009 and it had a major leak in the camshaft seals. My mechanic thinks that the leaking is coming not only from the camshaft seal, but also from the VVT pulley itself. He suspects the oil is leaking in that joint. Do you if that really happens? Is there a way to test it, or even opening and replacing any kind of internal seal? I’m in Brazil and parts here are pretty expensive, a new puller could be as high as 1,000 dollars. I appreciate your help, guys! Cheers from Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Your photo is difficult to see in detail what you are trying to highlight. I've never seen that type of VVT pulley leak, but I suppose anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmdubya1198 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I believe you can order the o-ring that goes into the VVT pulley, that's most likely where that leak is coming from. However I know the RNC VVT pulley is different from the RN pulley, so I'm not sure if that's a different design. This is the one I'm referring to https://www.swedishcarparts.com/parts/1734-volvo-vvt-hub-camshaft-timing-gear-seal-o-ring-gasket-9497786-seal-c70-s60-s70-s80-v70-xc70-xc90-variable-valve-hub-camshaft-pulley-vvt-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
