Many thanks for this video. I'm about to embark on changing this sensor on my 1996 Volvo 850 as it is failing, and this video is a really useful guide (I don't have the turbo to contend with, so mine's a little easier to access without dismantling the air box)

The reason for oil leaking there is either from the camshaft leaking or the valve cover gasket could also be leaking in that area.

I would suggest maybe give it a harder tap if you're replacing the sensor. If you were keeping it, then I would be careful, but if you're not then it isn't a big deal if you wreck the casing for the sensor. Using a punch, give the sensor a tap on the ears for where the bolts are, that may also help spin the casing to allow it to break free.

I am in the middle of replacement. I heard you mention that it might be slightly stuck and to rap it with a wooden handle. Mine is VERY stuck and does not want to budge. Any suggestions?

Do you need to disconnect the car battery before changing out the sensor?

+sjbock Normally it is good practice, but the circuit is controlled by the key so you shouldn't need to as long as the key is off.

my 2000 s70 glt is giving me a code p0014 [over advanced timing]. car cranks up on the bump every time, drives good, gets good milage, and has no weird idling problems. could this be a faulty cam sensor?

+ErikisOfficial I doubt it's a camshaft sensor failing as they normally just completely fail all together resulting in not starting. It's possible that the engine may have jumped it's timing or was set off one tooth. Another issue can also be a valve control solenoid. But I have heard of instances where it's just a computer error and clearing the codes a few times will finally cancel it out.

+4DIYers I appreciate that. car still drives good. I'm just trying to find a good mechanic who I feel won't try to get over on me. I know these cars are not cheap to fix. I have a code reader so I just clear it for the time being

+ErikisOfficial It can be tough finding a good mechanic, especially having a Volvo they have no problem charging extra. I would recommend signing up to a Volvo forum and someone maybe able refer you to a local mechanic. Check out some of my other tutorials, might be able to find something to help cutback some of your repair costs. IPDUSA is also a great online source of purchasing parts, that's who I used when I had my Volvo.

From my experience, Volvo's can be quite hard to troubleshoot as they have different components tied into each other. If you have a faulty camshaft sensor, the car won't start at all. My car did develop a couple problems after sitting, one being the camshaft sensor. With mine the car wouldn't start at all. The other problem was also a problem wire going from the ECU to the fuel relay located on the top of the radiator (grey relay). Once the key has been turned on, you should hear that relay activate as well by a click sound or feel. When your car doesn't start, is it associated with different types of weather, has been running already, was it a cold start, etc. Other issues that were specific to Volvo's not starting was the automatic transmission shifter switch and crank sensor. Other things just as a general issue could be a faulty coil pack, distributor to coil pack wire, and fuel pump.

Did you ever get this figured out John, my 850 sounds like it is doing something similar.

@@4DIYers MY car has been sitting the last year during quarantine and I went to go take it for a weekend drive and the engine cranked over and over perfectly with no start. I sat there thinking about it for a few minutes: I literally just replaced the fuel pump out of good practice, did a full tune up, ECU sensor was done, MAF was done, fuel pump relay.. Then I remembered I never changed my cam shirt position sensor and Im at 270k miles now! I immediately ordered a replacement part knowing about 90% sure that was the issue. Thanks for the post!

4DIYers I read another comment somewhere on one of your videos to where the grey relay box above the radiator can be bypassed or jumped or something. How can I do that? I've got a 96 850 T5 as well. Have changed the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. Have cleaned the spark plugs. Spark plug wire from the distributor to spark plug 3 reads dead with my ohm meter. All the other spark plug wires read ok for ohms. Please, any thoughts or suggestions? Here is a video of what mine is doing. Sometimes it cranks and the timing belt rotates, sometimes it won't crank and makwe the noise in the video. kzitem.info/news/bejne/x2h7tZhvfYqCZHo

Sounds like there is an issue with your starter, it's not engaging. Your pinion gear might be worn, there is an issue with the bendix thread (sticking or worn), or something wrong with the shift lever. I actually have a few videos for starter operation and rebuilding.
