Yeah, looks like it's missing a zero. I'm used to writing in Swedish MIL (1Mil = 10km). I even missed a zero when writing on the filter i noticed it now. So yes 570,000 km is correct.

Tror jag har 5 st inom 2 mil där jag bor.. De är ingen rättvisa här i livet!! 😜 Tack och lycka till med din fina "nya" lastbil! 👍
when the cab falls down, you need to pump it like 10 more times to make sure it locks too, or else u gonna have a nasty surprise when you need to brake hard
10:03 as a heavy duty diesel mechanic I find it easier to knock a hole in the bottom of oil filters to drain them first that way you have less mess when you take the filter off
Tip when doing oil changes the first thing I do is get a small drain pan then get a pointy punch and punch a little hole in the bottom of each oil filter that way the oil can drain out while your doing other things. When you go to pull the oil filters off you won't have a big mess and get oil all over the truck. It's so nice having empty filters when pulling them off.
Always when changing volvo oil filters, make sure the bung doesnt loosen up when removing filters, (its just a long bung with threads) if it does just tighten it back with fingers before installing new filter. If you dont, most of the threat will go on the filter rather than filter house and the filters will vibrate off during operating.

Your Videos are up there with the likes of Andrew Camarata. This one was very enjoyable to watch. Love seeing old equipment being put to use. The lack of rust on the frame is astonishing for a 30 year old truck!
No, I can't agree. The video's, no documentaries from M. Bjoernstroem are in their own classification.

Inspection for cars in Germany is every two years, except for the very first inspection which is due after 3 years. (A car from 2023 has its first inspection in 2026, then 2028...). Costs are around 150€ I believe. For a truck like yours, the regular inspection has to be done every 12 months. Additionally there is a "safety check" (Sicherheitsprüfung) which has to be done every 6 months, which only focuses on the parts that are subject to extensive wear, such as the chassis, the running gear, the body (cab etc), the trailer couplings, the steering, tires and wheels and the brake system. Costs are around 100€ I believe, whereas the annual inspection costs about 210€. Nice truck!
650 Nm torque is 65 kg at the end of a 1 meter bar moving 1 meter per second. You can use a 2 meters bar with 32.5 kilos. You can use a luggage weight counter for that,or whatever dead weight you have. Have in mind the bar itself have some weight at its end,so you substract it from your weight. You can cut a bar length for your body weight and hang on. 100 % accuracy,better than a torque wrench.
Well if that isnt an upgrade, i dont know! XD And 24k € is a pretty good deal for a truck like this and a container + a flatbed as well as the other things you got with it. A Truck like this is always a good idea since containers and flatbeds are easier to buy and maintain than trailers or vehicles in general. Plus the option to saddle up a flatbed with an excavator, drive to the job, put the flatbed down as it is, go back and get the container is sparing a lot of hassle. A little idea as i saw the free space around the fuel tank: There could be a box or something to store a net, chains or straps so that you always have them at hand if you need them. And looking on the "Bending" problem with the flatbeds, i must admit that the Takeuchi is "Maybe" a little too heavy for them without more reinforcement on the beds. Maybe there could be something welded below so that it doesnt bend that much? 1:13:00 Well, looks like the previous owner changed the four outside tires on the back axles (Probably the ones you got with the truck) but not the ones on the inside. Actually, that whould be a reason for me to check all tires on the truck, just to make sure they dont look like the one you discovered there. Its a miracle that this tire hold up till now.
Just a suggestion, load your digger only onto the very back of your deck then pick it up, when you have the bed up and secure then move the digger forward to its transport position. Doing it this way will give more leverage and put less weight on the bed while you lift. The weight will be between the rollers and the ground, not between the lift point and the ground.
I move equipment on a hooklift everyday. He chained it on the way it’s supposed to be, however, the truck should’ve been in neutral with him in the cab and the hoist should’ve pulled the truck under the body instead of using the hoist to pull all the weight from a stand still.
He should have released the handbrake and got in while raising the platform, then the truck would have rolled under the platform and it would have been easier on the material
I hate oil on my strap wrenches so I punch the bottom of filters to drain them beforehand. Although I made a strap wrench from the hoist chain off a forklift, it's a bit overkill for filters, works great on some gland nuts and such. Here in the states they don't use swap loaders so much, I have one on my GM 3500 and I love it. Stay safe my friend and good luck with that beauty!
Great video as always. While you were on your back trying to remove the oil filters I thought; you have the perfect situation to design/install a "service pit." Cutting the opening to size and breaking up the slab with your Pionjär 120 rock drill wouldn't be a problem. Then remove the dirt, pour the walls, and reinforce the edges with 15.88mm steel. If you wanted to get fancy you could add "jack rails" to the edges instead [for hydraulic cylinders that move along the rails]. Add stairs, lights and you're done. Besides being useful, it would make a great video as well. Just a thought. God bless.
Great video as always, In 40+ years of truck driving in the UK Volvo was my go to truck from F86 F88 F 10 and the FL models, that new flat bed looks a little bit too long for your truck, and a quick tip when changing oil filters drill or punch a hole in the lower part to drain oil from the filter, no mess when you unscrew it, always good to watch a new video keep them coming.
In the UK all vehicles under 40 years old have to have an annual inspection. We have 7 days to carry on any repairs and return for a retest. We can take our vehicles for a test up to 1 month before the test expiry date without affecting the end date of the previous test. In this case, if it fails, we have until the previous test's expiry date to get it fixed and retested.
I don't care what anybody says unless the filter is upside down I always fill the filters first. Nice rig good luck with it. Oh Abba called they want their seat covers back.🍻
Even if the filters are upside down I half fill them and put them on last, just before I start the engine. If you put them on quickly you won't lose much oil and it helps them to fill up faster. I'm very fussy about oil pressure.
Hi. WOW! That truck is in fantastic condition for it's age. Well done. Those platforms seem slightly on the 'light duty' side for your purposes, but I'm certain your strengthening program will be more than adequate. Re' vehicle testing. Here in the UK, when a car becomes 3yrs old, it requires a yearly MOT (Ministry Of Transport) test certificate in order to be legally allowed on the public highway. If a vehicle fails, and depending on the severity of the failure, it may either NOT be allowed to be driven away from the test centre, or if not so serious it can be driven away - but may not be used on the road until the faults have been rectified. As in your case of the wheel bearing , an owner is allowed to do the work themselves, or a garage, and if re-presented (at the original test centre) within 10 days it can be re-tested for free. Quite often the tester will just have a quick glance and it will be passed. If it is NOT re-presented at the original test centre, it MUST be tested as if it is the first time. I believe, that theoretically, it should be fully retested again - but in my 50yrs of vehicle ownership, I've never known that to happen. The test fee charged varies, but as of 2023 the 'official' test fee is ~£55 for a car. Motorbikes are less, and a truck will be more and depends on number of axles. A vehicle which has reached 40yrs old no longer requires an MOT certificate, but MUST still be roadworthy (i.e. comply with the legal requirements). Regards Mark in the UK
Amazing video, and an excellent find.570,000km is nothing on these engines, I drove on of these and it had 1.5 million km on it when i moved out of it, it had an engine overhaul at 1million km, only needed new turbo and we replaced the cam shaft, the truck is still working today. Best truck I ever had.
Lol @ 55:40. "Well, I'll go with that." Exactly what I would have done! That's a very cool truck you have there. We don't see them like that in the USA, but I wish we did. Very versatile with all the different bed options. Do they make a dump bed? It seems like that would work too.
nest time if you remove stickers i advice you to buy 'label off' spray from Biltema, i'm using it in my workshop and it is perfect to any hard stickers, any glue type...etc
Tip when doing oil changes the first thing I do is get a small drain pan then get a pointy punch and punch a little hole in the bottom of each oil filter that way the oil can drain out while your doing other things. When you go to pull the oil filters off you won't have a big mess and get oil all over the truck. It's so nice having empty filters when pulling them off.
If you have the chance to prefill filters without spilling the oil, its always a good choice because that means less runtime on a "dry" engine. 3 of those filters take a lot of oil to fill but its fine since there is still oil residue in the engine if its not empty for too long. The perfectly correct way to prefill those filters would be with a funnel through the small holes (the dirty side). Some filters have a "do not prefill" warning.
@@brianrule5547 technically yes, theres just a very small chance of micro contaminants or stuck together mineral parts in the oil getting to bearing surfaces or clogging small oil jets. Thats what i mean with "perfectly".
@@brianrule5547the problem is you can introduce dirt into the new oil if not really careful. If you are meticulous on keeping the oil as clean as possible then fill the filter, but do not let any dirt from under the truck or filter housing fall in while installing. Same would be true not even putting oil in it.
@AthelstanSpilhouse The only other method to fill a filter with oil is to fill sump to required level including filter capacity. Then crank engine with ignition or fuel isolated until oil pressure is obtained.
The best part of the new owner putting on seat covers to protect his seats is that when you buy it you get new seats! Thanks for the beautiful drone shots and camera angles. I don't drive big truck anymore but in Texas I give the guy $7 and we sit around and talk and when we are done I get an clean inspection report. One time I went and didn't even bring my pick up. haha. If that was a truck driving in California it would have been marked out of service at a scale (they place them at strategic spots like where 2 interstate highways cross or other high truck traffic roads) you would have been required to repair the fault there or have it towed to a shop. If the registration is registered to you and not a company you can work on it, if it is registered to a company you can't touch it mechanically and you (or they) have to pay for the repairs or have it towed away. Great video as always, Thank You
Great video! Make sure to have an eye for the zipties you connected to the return dielselhose, I don't think it will cause any problems in recent years. Such a nice truck and good handcraft skills, the confident to work on things, even though you are not sure what they do is impressive and inspiring, thanks for the entertainment.
The inspection thing is just about the same here in Denmark. Cars with a max weight (totalvikt) of less than 3500 kg need an inspection every two years. Anything over 3500 kg max weight has to go through inspection every year. If the vehicle fails, you also have a month to get it fixed and checked.
About same in Germany. non commercial vehicles ned to get an inspection ("HU" or as most Germans say "TÜV" although that is one of the organisations doing the inspections, not the inspection itself) first time after 3 years, then every 2 years. I think commercial vehicles need yearly inspections, but I may be off. For passenger busses it may even be twice a year.
A tip I saw when i could get the tire off to get replaced on the road was to hammer on the "end of the nut" while you use the breaker bar, a couple of hard hammering later it came off!
Nice new truck, very few problems for it's age! Not too much computers and SCR/EGM stuff to deal with... Try to get one of these planetary torque amplifier wrenches for the wheel nuts, they work wonder! Thx for showing, always a joy to watch you! 👍👍👍
1:12:26 I saw people using that "hand wrench torque multiplier" for truck wheels and that helped them a lot! Just for the info. By the way thank you a lot for making this video it is very interesting to watch!
Detta var den första videon som jag tittade på hos dig och redan nu är jag såld, ny prenumerant såklart! Du ska ha cred för att du förklarar allt så detaljrikt och proffsigt. Det glädjer en likasinnad!
Nice truck and awesome video 👍🏻 I absolutely LOVE how much of a cleaning maniac you are, I find it SO satisfying when machines are spotless and function as they should ! 🌟🌟🌟
It looks like it might be time for a some shock absorbers too. Don't you just love it when the gorilla that serviced the truck last time torqued the filters on? To clean off the glue on your dash you can use something like WD40 or CRC 5-56. It will take the glue off easily and does not hurt the plastic. I really enjoyed the video. I live near Bergsjö, Nordanstigs and have a lot of work to do. I'll be watching your videos. They are very entertaining and I am sure to learn something at the same time. Good job.
I'd definitely weld or bolt in a couple of longitudinal stiffeners on the outside edge or even the center also if possible too save your deck from twisting or bending from the weight of heavy machinery etc. Good luck. Cheers !
Congratulations on the new truck purchase and great investment. Being that you have a sleeper cab and not a day cab the locked under bed cupboard is most likely a fridge

Good to see it is a universal thing for volvo engine oil filters to he stupidly tight they always seem to be when i have to change them. I have found with the volvo trucks when changing the oil filter punching a hole in the bottom of the old ones before taking them off and letting the oil drain makes alot less mess than just undoing them.
In Germany we have to go to the TÜV (inspection) every two years...with a brand new car first time three years after the initial registration. If there is a list of defects, you also have one month to correct the defects otherwise the insurance coverage expires. However, there are testing centers and approved workshops where TÜV inspectors come on fixed dates. Here you have to drive a maximum of 20 km to the next test center.
Grelt and detailed video as always, would have been great to see you fix the plastic that broke on the passenger side first step. And to clean the globetrotter glas/logo. A dead clean of the whole truck and polishing would make a great long video! Great job as always keep it going! In the FH 16 with globetrotter that I used to drive, I had the second/upper bunk removed for a more spacious feel of the cabin. Would be nice to see you do some small improvements to the cab like adding some red lights for the dark hours of driving
Here’s something to think about I do it every time I change filters on heavy equipment. I pinch a small hole in the bottom of the filter and you don’t get messy
How I do axle nuts in my cars is I take a 1-meter breaker bar and use a portable baggage scale to pull the other end by a certain amount to get the right torque. In my case, pulling it by 32-33 kg should give me around 320Nm which is typical for a passenger car axle nut. So for those wheel nuts, use a 2-meter breaker bar or pull 66 kg with 1m bar to get 650Nm. Should be doable to get close to the right-ish torque.
When changing the oil filters I always loosen it a bit so you can spin it by hand and then punch a hole in the bottom so the oil will drain out and you dont make a big mess
I really enjoy your content. Keep grinding out videos, you'll get big before you even know it. I starting talking to Andrew Camarata when he had about 5,000 subs, and now he is over one million. Hope you have a nice winter over there. It would be cool to see a shop tour and maybe life over in Sweden since most of use American's don't have a clue. It's so beautiful over there, my grandmother was born in Sweden and use to go back and visit every few years.
She lived close to Stockholm I believe, Uppsala if memory serves, I'd have to ask my father. I know they had a family farm that was quite far North as well, I'll have to find out more and let you know. My father would have been born in Sweden if my grandfather didn't get her (my grandmother) to the states right after WWII ended. I know my grandmother was a model back then as well I guess for some kind of clothing company. I find it interesting to know about history like this. She would visit Sweden most summers to be with her family. I Can remember her talking about it a lot when I was young and there were many times she would still speak to us in German or Swedish when she was angry, lol! And yeah, I like your content, you might even want to consider a live stream or something, to answer some questions, that would be fun too and you're only 6 hours a head of us here.... Your content is excellent and have you a great way of fixing problems. Hope you have a good weekend. @@M.BJOERNSTROEM
all those filters are probably mann filters. volvo name 3x the price. Ultrasonic cleaner would probably be a good addition to your arsenal. it does wonders cleaning up car/truck parts. also was the glass store near the finnish border? i heard some finnish there
The inspection system in Finland is pretty much the same. The part about the Volvo dealer clearing the issue if they do the job sounds interesting, no such system here - you have to go the inspection place again in any case. I'm also pretty sure that I heard the glass guys speak some Finnish
Use a center punch to put a hole in the bottom of the filter before you back it off enough to get the gasket to break seal and then when you back it off a little bit it will drain out and not make a giant mess everywhere
Inspections are alike in Belgium, for cars, they need to be inspected at the 4th year and then it's yearly from then on. If you have a red card (not passed), you're only allowed to drive it to a workshop or to home. No other use permitted anymore until all faults/gaps have been fixed/remediated. For trucks I have no idea but I guess it's also yearly.
I noticed that your date and mileage markings on the filter are already disappearing. Magic marker won't hold up to petroleum products. You need to use an actual paint marker on the filter when it is new and clean. I remember marking tags when disassembling an unfamiliar engine before the days of the internet and coming back to find they had completely erased in three or four weeks while I was waiting on parts. Pencil will also fade out quickly. For long term marking some aluminum flashing cut into tags and stamped with metal imprint tools attached with wire seems to be best.
Are you sure it hasn’t run 570 000 km?
Yeah, looks like it's missing a zero. I'm used to writing in Swedish MIL (1Mil = 10km).
I even missed a zero when writing on the filter i noticed it now. So yes 570,000 km is correct.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEMI make that mistake myself pretty often, that’s why I asked. I’m Swedish as well :)

Lol @ 55:40. "Well, I'll go with that." Exactly what I would have done! That's a very cool truck you have there. We don't see them like that in the USA, but I wish we did. Very versatile with all the different bed options. Do they make a dump bed? It seems like that would work too.
Do you have tiltcabin and rototilt?.
Just found your page. Literally a European andrew camarata but a tad more unique and I love it. Keep being you.
Much love from Australia
Pretty much brand new truck with that milage! Hope it service you well for many years to come.
Beautiful truck, Beautiful price, Beautiful maintenance job!👍
That truck seems to have had a good previous life..thoose FH/FM 1996 to 2001 was awsome...!
I'm a new subscriber and the latest video was brilliant I am amazed by your willingness to tackle any job , keep up the great work from Scotland
Thank you!
Credit where credit is due you are a hard worker and I find you videos great to watch, keep up the brilliant work 💯
Last of the old school volvos, lovely truck
nest time if you remove stickers i advice you to buy 'label off' spray from Biltema, i'm using it in my workshop and it is perfect to any hard stickers, any glue type...etc
Tip when doing oil changes the first thing I do is get a small drain pan then get a pointy punch and punch a little hole in the bottom of each oil filter that way the oil can drain out while your doing other things. When you go to pull the oil filters off you won't have a big mess and get oil all over the truck. It's so nice having empty filters when pulling them off.
Congrats M.Bjoernstroem, on ur newest Volvo FH12 Truck. Looks Cool the way it unloads the bed. next time the wheel bearings..
If you have the chance to prefill filters without spilling the oil, its always a good choice because that means less runtime on a "dry" engine. 3 of those filters take a lot of oil to fill but its fine since there is still oil residue in the engine if its not empty for too long.
The perfectly correct way to prefill those filters would be with a funnel through the small holes (the dirty side). Some filters have a "do not prefill" warning.
Filling filters through small holes is unnecessary with new oil is my understanding ?
@@brianrule5547 technically yes, theres just a very small chance of micro contaminants or stuck together mineral parts in the oil getting to bearing surfaces or clogging small oil jets. Thats what i mean with "perfectly".
I see you have a windshield crack. If you put nano glass on the crack it will disappear.
@@brianrule5547the problem is you can introduce dirt into the new oil if not really careful. If you are meticulous on keeping the oil as clean as possible then fill the filter, but do not let any dirt from under the truck or filter housing fall in while installing. Same would be true not even putting oil in it.
@AthelstanSpilhouse
The only other method to fill a filter with oil is to fill sump to required level including filter capacity.
Then crank engine with ignition or fuel isolated until oil pressure is obtained.
The best part of the new owner putting on seat covers to protect his seats is that when you buy it you get new seats! Thanks for the beautiful drone shots and camera angles. I don't drive big truck anymore but in Texas I give the guy $7 and we sit around and talk and when we are done I get an clean inspection report. One time I went and didn't even bring my pick up. haha. If that was a truck driving in California it would have been marked out of service at a scale (they place them at strategic spots like where 2 interstate highways cross or other high truck traffic roads) you would have been required to repair the fault there or have it towed to a shop. If the registration is registered to you and not a company you can work on it, if it is registered to a company you can't touch it mechanically and you (or they) have to pay for the repairs or have it towed away. Great video as always, Thank You
Great video! Make sure to have an eye for the zipties you connected to the return dielselhose, I don't think it will cause any problems in recent years. Such a nice truck and good handcraft skills, the confident to work on things, even though you are not sure what they do is impressive and inspiring, thanks for the entertainment.
The inspection thing is just about the same here in Denmark. Cars with a max weight (totalvikt) of less than 3500 kg need an inspection every two years. Anything over 3500 kg max weight has to go through inspection every year. If the vehicle fails, you also have a month to get it fixed and checked.
About same in Germany. non commercial vehicles ned to get an inspection ("HU" or as most Germans say "TÜV" although that is one of the organisations doing the inspections, not the inspection itself) first time after 3 years, then every 2 years. I think commercial vehicles need yearly inspections, but I may be off. For passenger busses it may even be twice a year.
A tip I saw when i could get the tire off to get replaced on the road was to hammer on the "end of the nut" while you use the breaker bar, a couple of hard hammering later it came off!
Nice new truck, very few problems for it's age!
Not too much computers and SCR/EGM stuff to deal with...
Try to get one of these planetary torque amplifier wrenches for the wheel nuts, they work wonder!
Thx for showing, always a joy to watch you!
👍👍👍
I'm getting the vibes that you are a swedish version of Andrew Camarata. Always fun watching stuff like this!
1:12:26 I saw people using that "hand wrench torque multiplier" for truck wheels and that helped them a lot! Just for the info. By the way thank you a lot for making this video it is very interesting to watch!
Detta var den första videon som jag tittade på hos dig och redan nu är jag såld, ny prenumerant såklart! Du ska ha cred för att du förklarar allt så detaljrikt och proffsigt. Det glädjer en likasinnad!
Kul att höra!
That aint a Scania! Great purchase and drive safe!
Nice truck and awesome video 👍🏻 I absolutely LOVE how much of a cleaning maniac you are, I find it SO satisfying when machines are spotless and function as they should ! 🌟🌟🌟
It looks like it might be time for a some shock absorbers too. Don't you just love it when the gorilla that serviced the truck last time torqued the filters on? To clean off the glue on your dash you can use something like WD40 or CRC 5-56. It will take the glue off easily and does not hurt the plastic. I really enjoyed the video. I live near Bergsjö, Nordanstigs and have a lot of work to do. I'll be watching your videos. They are very entertaining and I am sure to learn something at the same time. Good job.
I'd definitely weld or bolt in a couple of longitudinal stiffeners on the outside edge or even the center also if possible too save your deck from twisting or bending from the weight of heavy machinery etc. Good luck. Cheers !
Congratulations on the new truck purchase and great investment.
Being that you have a sleeper cab and not a day cab the locked under bed cupboard is most likely a fridge
Great chanel, talented fella
Und die nächsten Reparaturen sind folgende:
Neue Hauptscheinwerfer in LED, neue Frontscheibe, neue Scheibenwischer, neue Wischer an den Frontscheinwerfern.😊😊
Great Job Sir 👋🫡👍
Greetings from the Swabian Mountains near Ulm.
Holger 👋
Have fun with your new truck those are good models l drive one 97 no issues at all ...😊
Good to see it is a universal thing for volvo engine oil filters to he stupidly tight they always seem to be when i have to change them. I have found with the volvo trucks when changing the oil filter punching a hole in the bottom of the old ones before taking them off and letting the oil drain makes alot less mess than just undoing them.
Love your videos you do a great job putting them together. From Canada
Nice truck! Looks like it was a good deal for the miles. Don’t see much rust at all. It’s definitely worth putting money into it for sure! 👍👍
This video inspired me to change the oil and filter in my 2003 Toyota Tundra. I had been putting it off for a month.
Thank you for your detailed videos!
In Germany we have to go to the TÜV (inspection) every two years...with a brand new car first time three years after the initial registration. If there is a list of defects, you also have one month to correct the defects otherwise the insurance coverage expires. However, there are testing centers and approved workshops where TÜV inspectors come on fixed dates. Here you have to drive a maximum of 20 km to the next test center.
To make it less messy punch a hole in the bottom of the filter and let it drain when hot 👌
Grelt and detailed video as always, would have been great to see you fix the plastic that broke on the passenger side first step. And to clean the globetrotter glas/logo. A dead clean of the whole truck and polishing would make a great long video! Great job as always keep it going! In the FH 16 with globetrotter that I used to drive, I had the second/upper bunk removed for a more spacious feel of the cabin. Would be nice to see you do some small improvements to the cab like adding some red lights for the dark hours of driving
Thanks for showing the albino. We had a albino moose around a few years back.
Here’s something to think about I do it every time I change filters on heavy equipment. I pinch a small hole in the bottom of the filter and you don’t get messy
How I do axle nuts in my cars is I take a 1-meter breaker bar and use a portable baggage scale to pull the other end by a certain amount to get the right torque. In my case, pulling it by 32-33 kg should give me around 320Nm which is typical for a passenger car axle nut. So for those wheel nuts, use a 2-meter breaker bar or pull 66 kg with 1m bar to get 650Nm. Should be doable to get close to the right-ish torque.
Another Top Video with this UA-camr who does everything for us to Marathon, with this purchase of this Volvo.u. TMJ 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
When changing the oil filters I always loosen it a bit so you can spin it by hand and then punch a hole in the bottom so the oil will drain out and you dont make a big mess
Very well done, highlight for me was seeing the windshield removal and replacement. And of course,the outro was a great finish 👏👏👏👏👍
Hi great work on Volvo you look after you're equipment they'll never let you down regards from Scotland 🇬🇧🏴🚛👍
I really enjoy your content. Keep grinding out videos, you'll get big before you even know it. I starting talking to Andrew Camarata when he had about 5,000 subs, and now he is over one million. Hope you have a nice winter over there. It would be cool to see a shop tour and maybe life over in Sweden since most of use American's don't have a clue. It's so beautiful over there, my grandmother was born in Sweden and use to go back and visit every few years.
Thanks, yeah Andrew is a fun guy to watch.
Might make a shorter ordinary day video. Did she live in the north or south?.
She lived close to Stockholm I believe, Uppsala if memory serves, I'd have to ask my father. I know they had a family farm that was quite far North as well, I'll have to find out more and let you know. My father would have been born in Sweden if my grandfather didn't get her (my grandmother) to the states right after WWII ended. I know my grandmother was a model back then as well I guess for some kind of clothing company. I find it interesting to know about history like this. She would visit Sweden most summers to be with her family. I Can remember her talking about it a lot when I was young and there were many times she would still speak to us in German or Swedish when she was angry, lol!
And yeah, I like your content, you might even want to consider a live stream or something, to answer some questions, that would be fun too and you're only 6 hours a head of us here.... Your content is excellent and have you a great way of fixing problems. Hope you have a good weekend. @@M.BJOERNSTROEM
Congratulations on the new truck. Looks great!
Overseas has much nicer semi type trucks compared to the US. Nice work on the Volvo truck.
all those filters are probably mann filters. volvo name 3x the price. Ultrasonic cleaner would probably be a good addition to your arsenal. it does wonders cleaning up car/truck parts. also was the glass store near the finnish border? i heard some finnish there
The lack of rust on that is incredible, here in the NE USA there would be so much rust jacking and rot it would be almost ready for a crusher
About 2 seconds before you got the windshield check :D i was thinking "hopefully there are not too much loose stuff" and instantly "bang"
I see you have a white stag, beautiful! Here in Northern Michigan, we have white-tailed deer and elk, but no stags. Great video!
Hello from the Netherlands.
nice new (to you) Volvo truck.
thanks for the video M.
Sincerely Hollandduck
The inspection system in Finland is pretty much the same. The part about the Volvo dealer clearing the issue if they do the job sounds interesting, no such system here - you have to go the inspection place again in any case. I'm also pretty sure that I heard the glass guys speak some Finnish
You could go broke on a filter change ,what a relaxing video really need to do some Rock Blasting can't get enough of that
European Andrew Camarata :D Love it! Keep the good work. Cheers from Turkey!
Super nice video! 😊 Editing is perfect.
Reminds me a bit of Andrew Camaratas earlier videos.
Inspection for cars in Italy is every two years, except for the very first inspection for a brand new car which is after 4 years. It costs around 80€.
Use a center punch to put a hole in the bottom of the filter before you back it off enough to get the gasket to break seal and then when you back it off a little bit it will drain out and not make a giant mess everywhere
Awesome video. My favourite type of UA-cam video 💪🏻👌🏻
7:40 Love those driving lights.
Perfect miles, it’s probably not even broke in. For 23 large, fantastic deal!
awesome purchase brother, congratulations
A realy cool video , please show us more from your Volvo.
Love your videos you do a great job putting them together and very nice truck.
Thanks!
Beautiful truck and very nice work on it!
Tusen takk for god underholdning 👍🌞👍
YOUR INTERCOOLER IS CRACKED 22:32 sorry if you already fixed it just letting you know
Bra foto som vanligt! Tack för att du tar dig tid att filma även "rutinjobben".
Very good hope you have good luck with this unit,Great video thank you for sharing well done
Inspections are alike in Belgium, for cars, they need to be inspected at the 4th year and then it's yearly from then on. If you have a red card (not passed), you're only allowed to drive it to a workshop or to home. No other use permitted anymore until all faults/gaps have been fixed/remediated. For trucks I have no idea but I guess it's also yearly.
Nice Truck! Good video, Thanks Ron B Michigan USA
A great person you are ! Thanks 4 videos 👍👋
I noticed that your date and mileage markings on the filter are already disappearing. Magic marker won't hold up to petroleum products. You need to use an actual paint marker on the filter when it is new and clean. I remember marking tags when disassembling an unfamiliar engine before the days of the internet and coming back to find they had completely erased in three or four weeks while I was waiting on parts. Pencil will also fade out quickly. For long term marking some aluminum flashing cut into tags and stamped with metal imprint tools attached with wire seems to be best.
I usually spray a layer of clear coat onto the markings, to make them hold.
