I Found the Strange Noise on Lili the Volvo 240...

- Nipping up the front wheel bearings and replacing the transmission mount on my 1988 Volvo 244.
We recently had some strange noise appear, a rotational knocking sound that was more prominent at slow speed before becoming drowned out by other road noise, after discovering play at the road wheel I decided to investigate further...
Whilst test driving I had some bad judder when pulling away in first, so decided to replace more old rubber components to try and eliminate it...

Have you figured out the whine by chance? Mine does the same thing! So aggravating!
No still haven't, I'm planning to jack it up soon, disconnect the prop, make sure the diff bearings turn smooth and that there's no play, then change the oil again and hope it lasts 😅
How long has yours been like it? And is it getting worse?
@@Involvod it’s been like that for years. I’ve owned the car close to 10 years and if I remember correctly it’s been there for most of it. It seems like it got noticeably worse in 2019 not long after I had the driveshaft bearing replaced which may or may not have been a coincidence. That being said it hasn’t gotten worse in the last 3 years but it’s still incredibly aggravating. I did use some chassis ears recently and it seemed like the diff was making the most noise though.
@@Burritosuupreme thanks that's a relief to hear, my carrier bearing is slightly rough too so I was planning to change it, but did feel as though the noise was definitely from the diff. Going to keep an eye out for another unit as they are not the easiest to rebuild by all accounts 😬
@@Involvod yeah and the parts for the 1031s aren’t easy or cheap to get either . I’m actually pursuing the same strategy as you trying to find another axle to swap out. Fortunately here in California 240’s still come in to the salvage yards regularly so hopefully finding a dry one happens soon. I’m guessing a leaky pinion seal that I failed to fix in time caused the predicament I’m in now… oops. I should’ve noticed that the diff was getting coated with gear oil. I’ve spoken to a few mechanics that say it’ll go indefinitely with the whine as long as the fluid remains at the proper level. Fingers crossed you find another one soon!
Super that you love this car so much. I know the feeling! 🥰
Thanks, it's the best feeling!
Nice work.. I love that 240!
She's a babe!
Hey Sledge, great repairs today, every little repair improves the whole project, keep up the good work my friend!😉
Thanks buddy!
Great job, you've deserved that drink, Sledge 😁🍻
*Drinks 🤣
Being able to come back on your mistakes is what really shows strength of character.
Good vid. Keep them coming
Thanks, much appreciated 🙏
Getting better every time mate👍👍
Thanks mate!
Great job! It's all about small improvements with these old cars ;). You can't tell the difference but you feel good about taking care of it and doing it yourself ;D. Yeah, absolutelly love to cruise in mine! Thanks for the transmission mount procedure too! Cheers!
Thanks mate!
Nice job. Each bit you improve makes the whole car a bit better.
Your comment on how nice the 240/740/940s are to drive, I totally agree. In fact it is the reason I purchased my two Volvos in recent years after selling my 240 a few decades ago.
The regret simply grew and grew until I thought "F it" I will buy one back. So I bought the 940 wagon because it was the ultimate development of the "240" platform, then a real 240 GLE with tan leather seats, which nobody seemed to want, came up for sale in my town. Now I have two.
Thanks for the vid. PS That navy blue paint job is just beautiful. I'm a bit jelly.
Sounds like you have the perfect 2 car set up! I really like the tan interior 240s
Great video Sledge; thank you!
You're welcome, thanks so much for watching!
I'm getting this sound/feeling on the right side of my 940 wagon. will try this treatment, thanks.
Judder could be from a contaminated clutch disk or uneven pressure from the pressure plate.
Sometimes it helps to make some (like 2 or 3) rediculous clutch slips. Drive in like 3rd gear, give full throttle and while the engine is pulling, push in the clutch sharpish, let the revs come up , then let out the clutch gradually.
Yes, this does create accelerated wear on the clutch disk, pressure plate and flywheel but sometimes it fixes the juddering.
After that you can just drive it normally again.
Hey thanks for the tip, I didn't think about clutch judder, the clutch is riding high and first is hard to get into, it's at the end of the adjustment too, so soon I'll have to do it
i do miss my 760 estate good video again😊😊
Thanks! Hope you manage to get another 7!
Love your videos, mate! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Aaawwwwww
The Brit Expat needs his drink.
😅
Front wheel bearings are a matter of feel. Over many years I have learned to tighten firm (not tight) then back off half a turn and look for the split pin hole. But hard to do with multi grips . Need a fitted adjustable spanner at the minimum . A spanner at least gives you that feel that multi grips can never do. I love your perseverance.
Thanks mate, I appreciate it!
Totally with on both the parts becoming crap and bloody spiders. I hate them! I did the top mount on Bev last summer and that had so much wobble in it. Great video dude.
You get some big ones in the UK, it's not so bad here 😅
Lili sounds a lot smoother Sledge says he who knows SFA about cars. Keep on truckin'.
Thanks! So you weren't born in 1999 or a she! Your username has me bamboozled 😄
@@Involvod I wish I could get rid of that stupid name! I'd lose all my history, favs and more importantly all the great folks like you on here that make my life more interesting.
@@fannycraddock99 we've all done it, I'm still stuck with a silly email address from my teen years 😄
Mine passed its mot with one advisory yesterday 😁
Ah well done mate that's great news!!
better use owatrol for dealing with rusty parts, fluid film is brilliant, but especially out of the spray its gone very soon when you dont put something (like seilfett) over it after some days of drying
Thanks, I heard alot about Owatrol, need to give it a shot!
The drain grate helps again! The clutch shudder is rather common but visually it appears to be better with the new mount.
As for the differential whine, DANA 30 rear ends in my experience are not very quiet. My current 142S has very little, my first car decades ago, a 145S had quite a pronounced whine.
That makes me feel alot better! It hasn't gotten any worse as far as I can tell, the oil is up to level and clean looking, I might change it anyway for good measure, but hopefully it just keeps going!
@@Involvod The best way to know is to pull the cover and see what the tooth wear is like. Since I doubt you really drive the car hard it is likely to never be a problem. Some DANA 30's just whine/howl, they shouldn't, but many do. The 145 I had when I was in my teens (As I previously mentioned) had howled since new when I asked my father about it in 1988 or so. I did not drive that car gently, I made it do things that Jan Wilsgaard never had in mind when he designed it.
@@mathuetax 😂 That's a good idea, makes sense to pull the cover off when I change the oil, I'll also take some detailed footage of it so people with a more trained eye than myself can see what kind of shape it's in!
Great work as always!
I usually use my impact to fully seat the wheel bearing cap. I learned the lesson the hard way when I destroyed a MK2 Golf spindle 😂
Engine and transmission mounts almost always seem to be bad on the cars I get. But it's always such a wonderful feeling to replace them all!
The Canadian 245 feels like a new car with all the new bushings! (And sway bars + chassis braces of course!)
I didn't know you were also an Uncle Tony's Garage fan!
PS: do I see an ambient temp gauge on your dash???
Thanks boss, I've really got into UTG lately! And yeah well spotted! Super rare and expensive these days, I'll trade them for a 3 gauge instrument pod 😂
They are all getting better each time, well done for keeping them on the road! Could the judder be clutch?
Thanks, I hadn't considered that, the clutch is on its way out anyway and needs to be replaced soon, so hopefully it is that!
@10:18 Otherwise, it won't necessarily transform the Volvo into a Vulva because there has been some progress in manufacturing while the car was out of production. Unless you use the cheapest parts made of "chinesium." If a part is expensive because it is rare, it is completely different to it being superior quality.
Highly recommend a poly trans mount
Thanks! I fitted poly torque rod mounts and they certainly tighten things up
It'll almost certainly leak after removing those long bolts that hold on 5th gear and the mount bracket.
Thanks for the heads up, I didn't think of that!
Do you happen to know what that clunk was at 13:40? That's the same sound I have and its driving me insane. Thank you!!
Oxygen sensor code $250 usd for genuine sensor plus $250 new header pipe also genuine. should i just do a higher flow stainles setup all the way through. Leaning towards remaining OEM to be wholesome
Wow that's quite alot, i'd probably be going aftermarket in that case 😅
Where are the 265 gle Volvos at,don’t see the six cylinder ones about.My Dad had a few and they were really smooth drives.
That's a good point, never seen one!
Did you happen to figure out what that clunk was at 13:40? Thats the same sound I have and its driving me insane. Thank you
Does anyone knows what the cause of the sound at 13:38 is? Mine also makes that sound.
Chainsaw bar oil. Much much cheaper than fluid film.
That's a great idea I've never heard of that, but I just looked into it and the anti fling properties make alot of sense!
@@Involvod I’ll admit I saw it another UA-cam video, but they did a 2 year follow up and it was still there and had incorporated dust into oil to make a sort of undercoating.
@@Misunderstoodboygenius Perfect! Sounds like it lasts longer than Fluid Film too...
My 1990 240's fuel gauge doesnt work. I replaced the old and rusty fuel sender unit but still nothing? :(
Nevemind, it slowly rises when i turn the key to the II spot. I dont think that it is working properly tho
Don't worry, they are never usually that accurate anyway 😃
@@Involvod cheers, feels really nice to get something working again
@@rallipete yeah, that's not an easy job either from what I've heard, nice work!
One day Lilli will be more fluid film than volvo! 😂
They should really start sponsoring me 🤣
I'm so far behind on your videos. That's what happens when you start your own business, no time to do what you used to. Time to catch up on some Involvo'd content. I just started putting videos back out as well. I have a good 7 or 8 videos waiting for edit.
No worries man, I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! Looking forward to your vids too, haven't been on UA-cam much lately because of the move so lots to catch up on
Yu need a new driveshaft Bering kit
Parts aren’t what they use to be sadly.
Amen to that! No upload today bro? I've been looking out for it
@@Involvod it doesn’t look like it. Between work/software troubles/lost footage/having to re shoot and personal issues going on… haven’t been able to get an episode together.
