Volvo D13

Hey everyone, I'm doing an EGR tune-up on my D13 and I don't know where the Delta P sensor is located. Anyone willing to point me? Just bought this truck two weeks ago and have been searching around for a manual but haven't picked one up yet( or downloaded the PDF). I've replaced the IMAP sensor and have cleaned as much of the intake as I can and would just like to know which other sensors I should look at replacing at this point. Truck has 557k and most the parts on the engine besides the ecm look to be original. Also seems to have a newer wiring harness. Any nudge in the right direction or appropriate advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Okay, found the sensor on the venturi pipe, removed it and it was actually clean. I think it has been replaced before. The pipe itself had some buildup so I just cleaned out what I could and put it back on. The other sensor on the DPF was easy to get to but didn't pull it off cause it got dark. Thanks for the help on that.

@loudtom How long have you had your truck and what types of issues have you experienced?

 

Yeah, I suspected as much really anymore. All the emissions needing attention. Interesting about the injectors though. I'll keep those in mind, appreciate that. The Volvos I used to drive at work were generally reliable as could be. I think we had three or so on our yard that were over 1.3 million with what looked like mostly original parts. This is my first truck and I've only had it two weeks still waiting on my IRP to get processed. I've been going over that thing top to bottom fixing little things here and there. Ready to get to work!

 

Sounds like a Volvo! We had a few radiators in my old volvos that got cracked radiators. My truck has 557k and the radiator looks to be fairly new with a system flush and new filter. I was taking as many of the EGR sensors off and cleaning them, ended up replacing the IMAP sensor. My only other issue I think is with a little shimmy in my steering wheel around 45 mph. I'll get to the tire shop sometime this week hoping its just the front end needing some balancing. Was lucky enough to get a pair of new Michelin XZE2's want to keep them in good shape. I'm really hoping to get along a good bit of time before anything major happens, and I've learned more about my own truck in just a few weeks than I have driving in 16 years. Always told myself when I bought one it would never be a Volvo or another aero truck, but when I had to do the numbers it just made sense to start sensibly and grow from there into something I'd want. I'm partial to KW.

 

That's good advice, thank you.
