My white block just got new coils, it's been misfiring for a while. A cracked pvc hose has been shooting under heavy acceleration I assume, or maybe decel at rpm. I'm impressed with your building skills. I love my Volvo, 2.4 06 s60 T5 with a 6 speed.
The main task for the free wheel is to disconnect the rear axle when you engine braking in a curve on very slippery roads or in snow slush. Prevents the rear end to slide out if the rear wheels are braking from the engine. Hope you could understand that explanation??? Also if you are in reverse the free wheel locks so you have a 50 / 50 torque split, like if you get stuck and try to reverse out of it. Volvo also claim that @ cruising speed on the hwy the rear axle is disconnected trough the free wheel. For fuel savings.
@@SimplyVolvo No problem. I was going to do the same with my built, weld the free wheel. I been checking out your videos, most of your info I already knew. But, the part that the 960 axle fits the awd rear was new to me. 960 axle is going on my build, thanks for the info awesome. My car is going to be as light as possible, no interior etc. Aiming for 1200 kg (2600lbs) let see if I can get it that light, it's a long time project. Only work on it when I feel like it.
@@SwedesGarage The 960 axles work, but there are some problems with CV boot clearance on the upper control arm if the car is lowered. You'll see in my next video.
For balancing, do you take it to a place that does driveshaft balancing? Or what's the process? My VC is bad and I have a replacement to go in it and will do the bearing too. Mine is a fairly stock 98R. Love your build by the way. I've watched a lot of your videos.
I tried the original viscous coupler with 200K miles on it but it wasn't working right... the fluid inside dried up and the fluid cannot be replaced... so I welded it so now the car is locked full time 4WD 50/50. I have a spare coupler that is known good and working that I will try eventually but I do like the locked 4WD.
At this point im just about to push into 5 digits... which I think is very reasonable for all of the custom parts I got manufactured, engine refresh and literally rebuilding / replacing every single thing possible in the rear, new clutch, front and rear LSD, etc, etc.
Unfortunately it is not re-buildable. So I just replaced the bearing and bushing on the torque tube and welded the freewheel mechanism. There is a test you can do where you lock the rear wheels and turn the VC input with a torque wrench it should take about 90nm to turn it. Mine took 90nm so its in perfect conditions with no leaks.
Dude, build videos are so cool and interesting:) The path to there matters! The harder it is, plus your ocd, the bigger smile it will provide:)
As always... Awesome content. Some day you should go over how you got into volvos.... And how you got your car.....
Sure! I would definitely be interested in making some of those types of videos when the AWD swap is running and I have more time.
And one big fu**ing walk around of the T-5R
You are our man. Soon we will see, in the circuit, your great job on the 850 . Keep pushing. Ciao.
Wow. Your extremely thorough. Fantastic job.

Great work!

Wow. Awesome thank you for the full explanation. Seems like its for situations this car will never be in!

@@SimplyVolvo Ok, I'll check it out. But it's a long time before I get to installing rear axles hehehehe
I welded mine and did rear wheel drive rallycross with it. Shame the angle gear was rubbish and broke. Good work!
Ha thats pretty cool. Using the angle gear for RWD only. Did you weld the viscous coupler and freewheel or just freewheel? I assume the first.
@@SimplyVolvo only the Viscous. Welded from the outside. That's why I like you're Angle gear. Would be great to try again with a decent angle gear.
Patiently waiting :)

It's hard to follow but you seem to be going back and fourth on running a new and welded VC..
Where do you stand right now?
I tried the original viscous coupler with 200K miles on it but it wasn't working right... the fluid inside dried up and the fluid cannot be replaced... so I welded it so now the car is locked full time 4WD 50/50. I have a spare coupler that is known good and working that I will try eventually but I do like the locked 4WD.
Theres 2 places it has to be welded to lock it. At the viscous coupler and at the freewheel mechanism.
I have 2001 v70 xc awd. Can i change vcu oil?
Dude this is an amazing project. When complete what do you eatimate youll have in to the car?$$
At this point im just about to push into 5 digits... which I think is very reasonable for all of the custom parts I got manufactured, engine refresh and literally rebuilding / replacing every single thing possible in the rear, new clutch, front and rear LSD, etc, etc.
SimplyVolvo hell yah. Cant wait to see this car. Some day ill met up at a show or something
do you think with some modifications one could use this VC on a awd civic build?
Its possible to repair viscous mechanism like drill hole and replace oil in it ?
No.
Nope.
What material are those diff bushings? Also, I didn't get a good look at your hub bearings, but they are sealed, right?
The diff bushings are polyurethane, you can check out the video I did on casting them. They are the original SKF part number, so yes they are sealed.
👍👍👍👍👍🏆
did you do anything with the VC ? or is it just refreshed?
Unfortunately it is not re-buildable. So I just replaced the bearing and bushing on the torque tube and welded the freewheel mechanism.

850 was created with years of research under project galaxy ur modification is over the scope
