- Time to replace the snotty old coolant from the redblock (B230) and throw on some shiny new parts (hoses, thermostat etc)

It's a good feeling when you have a victory over a tight screw without breaking anything else.
I'm always hesitant to do work on my own car but watching stuff like this reminds me it's perfectly possible and easy enough if you do the right planning and research. Great video, mate. Hope to have a 940 turbo by the summer of this year, it's the dream!
Thanks! I have exactly the same goal 😃 Good luck with the search 👍
If you ever sell that car theyre gonna be lucky owners man, doing a great job. Cheers for the shoutout aswell :D
You think he will sell, or horde all the old Volvos he can nab ?
@@englishgrandad3298 Probably horde :D
Brass brush all steel fittings... RTV sealant... new reservoir... new radiator... most of all FLUSH with cleaner and rinse with distilled... replace heater hoses too... this was a half-job sir!
Meant to be serious but these vids make me giggle, keep them coming man.
New subscriber from Ireland. Did sent me over. Don’t worry about they floor,Sid will clean that for you
Getting a little short tempered there Son 🤣 and there was just no need to kill the wasp 🤨 brilliant vid. Keep 'um coming 👏 xx
Cool video brother 👍👍 Doing a fantastic job on this brick
Smallest vice grips on the 7 mil. works great to get those worm clamps started.Just to break it loose.
Also ; PH + treatment for antifreeze acidity is marketed towards the boiler /heating industry.
( For Weil McLain aluminum boilers)
A small bottle added works wonders to stop corrosion issues.
How to test a thermostat. This is my next task on the 940. Nice timing. Nice instructional vid. Thanks
Cheers!
Great video and nice update. I would want to swap all those bits out to males a lot of sense.
Thank you for your effort doing these videos 🙌 very helpful to me.
Keep up the good work,
Blessings from France,
Eric 🎩
Thank you! 🙂
I love your humour 😂😂
Cheers 🤣
Great Video you sure that's not your matress😁
As a rule of thumb, I have learned, if the lower hose and some other hose is swollen, change it, hoses & clamps, also I don*t know if that car uses a thermostat,check they tend to get damaged and if it never was changed,change it, they usually tend, to make the car run a little hot
Buy a new thermostat housing as well. If they are not available, Al welding?
Very educational and relaxing! I will have to find out how to properly tighten bolts and undo/put on hose clamps. Also I've heard of a new kind of hose clamp that's even better that newer cars use
Thanks. All set to do the same.
Great video mate & nice classic Volvo 👍 I got 2 old Volvo240s that have been stood for about ten years so I will be renewing the cooling system on both cars & your video is very helpful CHEERS BRO & BIG RESPECT from the west Midlands👍😶👊
Thanks bud! I just subbed to you, good to see them being brought back to life 👍 Looking forward to more
Sensacional 👏👏 abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks! 😎
Oh my god, that is my car!!! I drove it down to Portugal and it lives here now 😆! I have a leak by the temperature sensor. Can I maybe contact you for some advice?
But was the rubber a good fit? 🤣 love this motor, i’m due a coolant flush in the V70 actually. Great video.
(and Wasp Killer 200 always works a treat) 🤣
Yeah I would have flushed it out but as you know I've got no running water there, but although she was a little bit gunky in the tank there was no rust or corrosion in the coolant so I think she's doing alright.
It's amazing how effective it is, even more than actual off the shelf wasp killer?! Guess that's why it's dubbed the 200 😂
LCR (lime calcium rust) cleaner will take the gunk off of your threads super quick. $1 bottle. You would need to submerge the part to soak for a bit however.
Thanks, i've never heard of that, gonna check it out!
Great video!! I can’t believe that’s your brothers channel?! Been enjoying his videos for a few months now… maybe he can help with all the graffiti?! 🤪🙌🏼
Hey thanks! He did suggest that he comes over and cleans the place up, I think it would make a great video!
The heater hoses need doing as well. Take it from someone who had three heater hose failures in 12 months. I know, there are only 2 of them, but Ma's old mechanic was a bit dodgy. If you ever need to take the dash apart, do the rubber hoses under the dash. They are a nightmare with the dash on place.
Thanks, they are definitely on the list, I cut it out of the video because the quality went bad but I plan to get some hose by the metre for the heater core and expansion tank from the auto parts store when they open normally, as it works out cheaper. Thanks for the dash tip!
some silicone and/or some kind of grease/anti seize on the parts that you put back on the car will save you a lot of problems in the future ;) I like your videos btw! and cool car
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them!
is there no drain plug?
Hiya I am running a 940 volvo 2.0 red block engine
It's very hard to start when it's cold and runs a bit lumpy any ideas
Put new spark plugs in and New ht Leeds dizzy cap and rotor arm as well thanks
Nothing like a double entendre to put a smile on my face. Hint. Don't recycle that rubber mate. EEwwww.
Why dont you send your parts, to your brother, 😊then the come back clean and nice, win win
WD-40 works
Of course there's people that want to watch a Brummie fix an old Volvo in a German shed (does it belong to DB?), that's completely normal mate. The question is, why are people that watching The Kardashian's or Geordie Shore? 👍
Very true mate I'd rather watch my own self than that! The land belongs to the state/Klein garten Kolonien but someone rented that part and built the garages on it. Are you an English expat out here?
@@Involvod Nope, I'm a Swede and I live up north among the prancing Moose... (It's all true you know, they really do run around on their hind legs all the time up here, exactly like they are depicted on the fake Ferrari badges...) 😁
@@akersjon278 aha yeah I thought your username sounded Swedish but you seem to know the UK and Germany well! I was considering a prancing moose badge but need the right Volvo for it 😄
