The reason why Volvo Aero licens built the Pratt & Whitney JT8D was so Swedish Air Force if a war broke out, confiscate engines from from DC-9's and MD-80's that SAS flew as at the time.

At 42.30, why did the pressure switch pull in the compressor clutch if the system wasn't yet charged? ie didn't have pressure? Also, do those pressure switches always have a schrader valve? I'd like to change mine but don't want it to all leak out

👍🏻

Love the videos and u are a real professional

@cleetusmcfarland

It seems like your return spring on the rear brake compensator is shot? The valve looks like it's floppy to me. The bottom the of the valve, where the "hex" adjustment is, should be pushed outwards. The main spring pulls the top lever of the valve, compressing the lower portion. There's a small return spring that opposes the force

My grandpa was a flight engineer on one of them in Vietnam. He tells me all sorts of facts and cool stories about it. They’re truly underrated. While the runways were 1200ft, the caribou was using much less than that. During the war, when they did combat missions to resupply firebases, my grandfather said they’d land and only need about 450-600 feet. And the real kicker of it, after kicking the pallets of ammo and supplies off the ramp, they’d just use the remaining runway space to do a “tactical takeoff”, meaning once they got off the ground, they’d do an upwards spiral to gain altitude, and boom, off to the next job. I wish more appreciation was out there for them.

i'm a novice but what does using the torch on parts before spraying them do?

Amazing content 👌

My favorite part about sought after euro shidboxes is telling my dad "hey look this car you used to get for 500 bucks in good condition back in 2009 is worth more than my entire life how cool"

An effective harness rebuilding solution that I like is to take butt crimp connectors, and take a nail set and drive the center sleeve out of the plastic body - then use the center sleeves to join wires by crimping and then soldering. Heat shrink can be applied over them after crimping and soldering. The sleeves are a similar concept to crimped sleeves that the power utilities often use.

She done got some stoppers now. Good job there baked bean

I absolutely appreciate the explanations of the brake bias and proportioning valve. Makes total sense with your explanation and diagrams.

Was the Rochester EGR vacuum device deleted from the injection pump? Saw it in an earlier video, but don't see it in this one. May delete mine, wondering if there's a successful way around having it.

Love your style and sense of humour. Yes, I'm British as you can probably tell by the spelling. Keep up with the filming, it's helping me get motivated to do my Mk2 GTI 8v.

Amazing stuff man! Got a 86 GTI sitting in a garage feeling real lonely for maybe 5-6 years now. Want to jump on it and do things soon. This really helps the motivation and the “you can do it” vibes!

Brakes? Who needs 'em?

excellent stuff yet again. i've done a similar brake conversion but with g60 golf bits. having watched this video i now realize i have not adjusted the intrusion on the new bigger brake booster nor did i know about the adjustability of the mechanical brake light switch. gonna have to revisit those areas. can't wait for more :)

Thank you for posting another entertaining, yet informative video. We greatly look forward to your future renderings.

I think what you have is what we call old style disc brakes in europe handbrake cable on top vs new cable below the beam. I used mk3 GT stubs on my 91 mk2, mk2 discs and pads and mk4 calibers. mk4 calibers because i had read that they were better due to them being aluminium but almost identical to the normal mk2/3 ones. Anyway the newer mk2's with rear discs as far as i can gather has the handbrake cable on the bottom pulling down, and the brake line is on top. So it only needed minor bending of the brake line a b5 passat brake hose because of mk4 caliber, again i read that was best. and thankfully i got the right handbrake cable in my first try. Only issue is that they are a pain to bleed probs because of the proportioning valve

i KNEW you must be team $500.

What's the crown and pinion count?

Disses the rotary torque.😂

I'm looking to get one of these mowers and wanted some info on them. After seeing your video I now am confident, while I look at it to see if every thing is there and working well. Great video very informative.

84 is to low ,, get it to 90 mabe 92

Good to see that I did something similar to this on my first try. You did grind the welds down though, I did not. I cold welded the first plate I put on since I couldn't figure the welder out, but I left gaps inbetween each plate in order to make it "burn thru" either way. Jumped on it, lifted the car underneath just to double sure and it seems tight. What's your process on removing other rust around the area? Rust remover/converter + flapdisc? I mean the rust that didn't need to get cut out.

How important is it for the reciever dryer to be close to the evaporator? I'm thinking about retrofitting an ac in my 740 -92 but to avoid having to tear out the dash, i'm thinking about putting the fan and evaporator in the trunk.

Would it be possible to get a complete plastic house and put in a fan and evaporator and put the whole thing in the trunk of a coupe 740. And then pull the vents out behind the back seats? There wouldn't be any controls and no heater core but that's not really a problem as long as I get cool air for me and the children in rush hour.

to please the algorithm: No more “rather die than lose momentum” after the turbo installation. Hope it works!

Thanks for all the mk2 golf videos they are great. Started working on mine again but to be honest mine is in such a bad state probably needs more work than your crashed one! haha

do you know if the floor panels are the same for 2 or 4 doors?

Thanks for the mention. I flew on the Bou's in Nam. They were a wonderful plane

7:52 that gave me "howtobasic" flashbacks

Great Vidio i have a 92 740 wgn im trying to change my rear door speakers left side blow out what size are they

Common issue on these is it freezes in the pto in the on position so you got Lucky

When are you going to continue working on the Rabbit pickup?

great editing, humour, knowledge and mk2s. good stuff! i especially enjoy the omission of HEYGUYSSWHATSGOINGON style of narrating.

Slow it down and tell us. This is good content my guy, learn us something!

Idk how you've not exploded in popularity yet 😂

I want one

Yay the ascender finally got covered😊

my heart sank when you chopped that shell

Men will see this and say “hell yeah”

It seems even when you’re not driving, you’re giving it the beans. And the full 9600 baud aohell handshake montage sound replacement was literally and digitally hilarious. Thanks for ending a very much Monday with a laugh. Love your way of doing and saying things.

Pole in its class? Set a track record and sat on pole... period.

Do you by chance have a spare hammer I can borrow?

can you put out cigarettes with your bare feet?

the grease looks delicious

Funny how life can be, I owned 1987 golf mk2 gti and volvo 940 at the same time. Both cars were excellent, loved them so much. One was my daily driver while the second was just there, it had some problems with documents, wasn't possible to drive it legally. But I still did, couple of times. And then I found your channel when you started working on volvo, I like your way of explaining things in your videos, music, and excellent sense of humour. Thank you so much for your work and effort you put into it is just on another level. Attention to details and stuff, you definitely know what you're doing, I wish the channel had more views
