So then, do you always wanted to see the engine from the inside, dismantle it or just wanted to see how it works?
Look no further, I made this for volvoforums.org.uk community so you know how it looks like.

So again
I am NOT a mechanic, I am NOT an electrician, I am NOT a certified plumber, I AM a computer technician and I CAN fix things.
And English is my second language.

P.S. I will apply for next available car mechanics courses, because I found this quite interesting. And to get some paper that approve that I can fix car engines(or something) I could apply for electrician as well, but I am not really into all those things so I will pass this one.

To the point!

Long story cut short, this is how I removed engine from Volvo S40 1.9 TD sport year 2003(first registered 2002) without any previous knowledge about the engines.
But know I know a lot.

1. Bad, dirty engine, is about to be stripped off of all attached components, cleaned and put all together.

-----

2. Some oil leak from turbo oil return pipe, you can see that heat shield is covered in oil a bit.

-----

3. Removed EGR internal part.

-----

4. Inside the Inlet manifold

-----

5. Battery and air expansion tank removed from the chassis

-----

6. Just in case, if somebody needs to bleed the radiator, that black bleed screw is located here, but be advised, its made from hard plastic, and it was really tight.

-----

7. More engine parts removed.

-----

8. Removed all the wiring.

-----

9. That greenish thing just left from the oil filter is oil pressure sensor.

-----

10. random pictures, but in order.

I didn't expected that one of the bolts would be oily, but that is normal.

-----

Camshaft

-----

Cylinder head

-----

Engine block, full of soot, especially cylinder 2(counting from the flywheel side)

-----

Rusty injector/s

inside the injector

-----

Cleaning processes.

Cleaning carbon from valve rods

more inspection and cleaning

Then I received brake discs and other parts. Nice.

-----

One of the best buy was a metallic brush for the drill. Helped me to get rust away faster.

-----

Oil pump and stuff

-----

Old pistons......

-----

My new brake disc and old one

-----

Oil pump with some damage

That's it for this morning, its 4 am and I am going to bed, rest of the pictures
should be done by today's afternoon
