2011 XC60 T6 R ( Overheating only when engine RPM is over than idling level)

Hey all,

For the past couple of months, my car has shown weird symptoms.

It has a habit of overheating when the RPM is above the normal idling level. When idling it will always be at 90 degrees celsius and whenever I touch the gas pedal, it will accelerate to reach around 100 - 105. However, whenever I drive it slowly it will go back to 90 - 93 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, last week I decided to fix this issue so this is what have done so far:

1- Changed the radiator with original Volvo parts.
2- Changed the thermostat and the water temperature sensor with the original Volvo parts.
3- Changed the water pump with original Volvo parts.
4- Changed the radiator cap with original Volvo parts.
5- Make sure that the air in the coolant system is gone.
6- The fan is going as normal.
7- there is no evidence of engine oil mixing with the coolant.

and unfortunately, the issue is still present.

I have uploaded a video in the following link describing how the temperature is rising.


Also a video of the water tank after releasing the gas pedal


If you have any idea what might cause this problem? please do not hesitate to let me know.

The fan module have also been changed 2 months ago with OEM part but not volvo original parts.

Although the fan seems to be working just fine, currently, it's showing a (p0480) code which is referred to the (fan control module).

The head gasket is leaking exhaust into my coolant line.

There was no visible evidence whatsoever of mixing oil or leaking water into the engine.

However, after a deep investigation, this engine is leaking hot exhaust air into the coolant line.
