I Did A Tune-Up On My Volvo V70R Spaceball And Unlocked TWICE The Horsepower... Sleeper Wagon!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- When I bought the car, it ran and drove... But just barely. Turns out all it needed was a tune-up and its a whole new car!
Come along today as I perform a basic 'tune-up' on my manual 2005 Volvo V70R! I purchased what is essentially a 'stage 0' kit for the car which consisted of: spark plugs, ignition coils, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, and a cabin filter. Check out what a difference these items make!

Niiiice, tbh u deserve this car more than Tyler, don't tell him lol
lol, I'll try to keep that to myself
@@ElliottAlvis with Hoovie, it would just be another car
Tyler will make donuts out of it then it'll head straight to the wizard right after.
@james bond
He will it's more important to get the mechanical stuff first.
I love hoovie and his content but im glad he let this one slip, no offense to hoovie but if it isnt a thumbnail magnet it just get tossed to the back, much like the mustang, merc, the blue ferrari, etc
Just gotta love these kinds of Volvo's!
I’m falling more and more in love every day!
@@ElliottAlvis is an addition..
You will see..
One of us..
One of us..
Check IPD USA..they have the best parts..
Every Volvo guy buy from them..
@@TheHienax and FCUEuro they are great as well.
@concept creator I used to watch you phone edits back in the day. Cool to see you like Volvos m
@@ElliottAlvis Elliott - you should have used OEM Volvo plugs. I had NGKs in my R and developed a bad misfire at WOT. OEM plugs are the only way to go...
So many forget ALWAYS start spark plugs by hand.
Great car choice these are unique and tough cars.
These are my favorite kinds of projects. A practical car, a labor of love, and a whole lot of great information. I'm looking forward to this whole series!
Thanks for watching!
Me too! Love this car!
as a Volvo V70 Classic owner your channel just became more interesting to me, I'm actually a bit jealous ;-)
Thats great to hear Bart, thanks for watching!
@@ElliottAlvis You know what else is great to hear? That magnificent 5cyl. glad you are OK and still able to make videos after the accident..
Welcome to the Volvo family. Cheers from Sweden!
Thanks! You guys make a heck of an automobile!
Next time we want to see the other Swedish brand: SAAB, choose an Aero model.
I'm probably not the first and certainly not the last to share these initials: 1) IPD 2) FCP 3) VIDA 4) DICE (and while your at it: Swedespeed, Matthews, Dave Barton...).
I almost thought you were going to put ATF in it. I was waiting for C3PO to come out and say 'Here we go again'.
Almost had ya!
@@ElliottAlvis Same here
It's amazing what a new coil can do
I screaming at the screen......NOOOOOOOOO!!!
As a V70R owner I recommend you to use OEM spark plugs only. Car runs with those way better. And also change oil in angle gear and Haldex.
Also if the car has an extra amount of torque steer there’s a good chance your AWD system isn’t working. If it spins badly in first to the point where traction control kicks in than there’s a really good chance the AWD system isn’t working.
Euronation Bob watches with a tear in his eye missing this Volvo.
True story!
I hope you're gonna do the timing belt ASAP, otherwise this thing is gonna be the Malibu all over again.
Timing belt is next for sure. I won’t be driving it much until it’s done.
@@ElliottAlvis Also do the water pump since it's right there. Fairly cheap and you wont have to worry about it down the road.
Edit: NM looks like you addressed this during the 15:37 mark, only advice I can give is not waste money on a dealership and go to a reputable independent shop.
@@dreww7545 He's friends with Hoovie. The Car Wizard should do it.
Those Volvo R Wagons are sweet! That was a good deal you got there 👍
Dude, the deal of a lifetime! Thanks!
Jeah, its a very good deal, because even in Europe its impossible to find this kind of V70R for that amount of money, they cost a fortune in here.
Running good after a tune up. It's amazing what catching up on a little deferred maintenance can do for your car.
It really is amazing! I couldn’t believe how much it woke the car up.
The turning radius can be improved, remove the pinion limiters and add wheel spacers and you're good to go.
It improved but still terrible. The worse part of these cars is the turning radius.
@@jaredmonk5328 ... having never owned one, if that's the worse thing, then great car.
I've got a non-R non-wagon one of these and.. well, basically you're correct, but the turning radius really is *heinous*.
You probably were amazed by how there is ZERO corrosion under the car. I was surprised as well coming from a Subaru where the entire car was made from rust.
I would go ahead and replace transmission torque mount too, takes about 5 minutes or less to replace just like the fuel filter. And glad your pcv looks great for now, otherwise it's a gigantic pain in the peter
I am so obsessed with this damn vehicle. I didn't even know I was until now. I need.
You and me both Nick. I love this thing.
Me too, I want one, but with an Auto gearbox.
Please take care of this one. So many of us love these cars.
You did the right thing. Once the timing belt is done, she will be a rocket ship. The Police at the time loved driving these. Maybe fix the paint and she will last as long as you service her regularly.
Such a beautiful volvo, glad to see it went to someone caring!
Thank you!
You owe EUROASIAN Bob big time! That's a very nice automobile.
Glad to see it getting the proper love it deserves!
Absolutely gorgeous Volvo and that blue gauge cluster! Tell Tyler he needs to run faster next time.
Haha, right? I'm sure he's been hitting the treadmill ever since last week 😂
@@ElliottAlvis Bahahaha!!!
I’ve replaced a V70r cabin filter in my family’s V70r and man that took me like a couple hours.
Actually it was the cabin filter and fan motor for the cabin.
Nice car... Here from Hoovie - liked and subscribed (this channel reminds me of Hoovie and Tavarish before they started buying Lambo's and McLarens)
I’m shocked you’re not having it diagnosed by the car ninja. From one Fast Volvo owner you another, nice car! I also recommend a tune from Hilton. They can really unlock some power for you.
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation Jacob. I'll have to bring this car to the Ninja one of these days.
🤣🤣as a Swede it’s sad but car ninja Don’t like volvo’s 🙄can’ t get That ... he work’s on ” junk” insted 😜
Excellent video, great quality and very interesting topic in this vid. I thank Hoovie for sending me over here. Cant wait for more videoes, greetings from Norway :)
Awesome! Thanks for coming over to the channel.
I now prefer this to Hoovie. I feel you just see Tyler buy the car, take it to Wizard and then it is no more.
Cool sleeper. Needs to get some new paint on it after the mechanics are all sorted.
I agree Jim, new paint will definitely be happening!
Volvo is great about any issues that come up with their cars, my 02 v70 2.4 (na/auto) had the fuel pump issue and it was resolved for free even though it is a nearly 20 year old car now. Gotta love shaggin wagons.
Elliott over here trying to give us a heart attack with the whole ATF.
What a sound coming from that wagon~ It’s definitely a keeper, haha!
Good luck with the timing belt service~ looking forward to more wagon content
Ha, almost gotcha! Thanks!
It’s not Type F because of Ford, it’s Type F because it will FAIL!
That's almost a truck size (18 wheeler) fuel filter. Damn! ;)
So satisfying when it started!
It was a massive fuel filter!
My dad always had Volvos and still has his 2003 V70 T5 - not the R sadly. But even today the pull and sound of the straight-5 is just lovely. Just love this V70 generation.
Just thought I'd say - opened up and most of my favourite automotive TH-camrs had new videos, but I chose to watch yours first!
It’s a bad Ass VOLVO!! I love the new Car Elliott- Excellent Choice!
Thanks Wesley!
As usual great video Elliott!
Thank you!
Volvo is the only dealer I'd take my car to, because I've taken my volvos there before, and they never tried to sell me stuff I didn't need. They only sold me things that compromised the safety of the safest vehicles on the road. I've been very pleased with our local dealer. Keep up the awesome work, best KS youtuber
I love those blue faced gauges! And happy you can do the famous jump!
Thanks Sock! I’m glad I can jump again too. You have no idea 😅
Yay! The hop is back! _and_ you brought the car some power a long with it!
Doing my best over here! Thanks man!
This thing is sick man. My dad had an '01 S80 T6 and that was a cool sleeper too. I'm such a wagon fan though!
I bet that S80 was sweet!
My dad has had one of these since it was brand new, he did european delivery. At 140k miles he had a misfire and coolant loss diagnosed to be a cracked cylinder bore, and it turns out it's very common in these cars. He put a used motor in and the same exact thing happened to it a little while later. The solution is to bore all of the cylinders out and install an aftermarket sleeve which fixes that issue, but then the transmission WILL fail as his has twice now. But, he loves it enough where he's going to keep fixing it because it's such a great road trip car.
Elliott, I couldn't be happier for you and your Volvo! What a woken up Spaceball. The front wheel drive Volvos do have rather large turning circles, while their prior rear wheel drive cars had incredibly tight turning circles.
Gonna be an amazing daily....just make sure to simple green the engine bay and she's golden 😁
The engine bay will be getting a detail without a doubt!
Great job happy that you are the owner of this Beast and Happy to see that you are doing well.
Thanks Anthony!
My mate had a 2001 V70R and I can confirm it was fast and comfy. Towing a 2850lbs trailer was no problem at all.
I live in Norway and we have plenty of mountains and steep hills, and it just pulled and pulled. I did love that car. He sadly sold it a bit later. It had factory Laser Blue paint which was lovely.
BTW, after next fuel filter change, just turn on the ignition, and the pump should fill the system and cut off when it reaches the correct pressure. Saves the hassle of make it fire after cranking for a while.
Myself I own a 04' V40 as a cheap roundabout.
I own an 850R wagon (855) and S60R. Your vehicle is on the newer half of Volvo's glory days (IMHO) and a heck of a find.
And we used to run Mobile1 fully synthetic or Royal Purple. Oil is a MUCH bigger issue for turbo bearings than the block.
Also, the stock rods HATE low-end torque, don't get too aggressive below 2500 RPM, and don't be afraid to rev it up high. 8000 RPM rev limiter was common. Most failures seemed to be bending rods at low RPM, or running too lean at high RPM and cooking things.
And the tribal knowledge back in the day was that copper plugs got you a better spark than iridium. People would run copper NGK and change every 10k miles or so.
And make sure that your timing belt is good these are interference engines. It's not too bad to do yourself, but given the stakes nothing wrong with the dealer. And be prepared to replace or bypass your heater core. Question of when, not if.
Beautiful wagon!
Elliot, my Motary Notary... great episode and I'm glad you're back and foremost happy that the Volvo is treating you well!!! Keep rocking
Thanks man! It’s good to be back!
I was holding my breath same as you when you were trying to start it back up after the fuel filter swap. Glad these tune ups went smoothly and made a noticeable difference in how the car drives! You gonna tell the dealer that is has been sitting in a field for three years? I'm sure they will love hearing it :'D
I’m sure the dealer is going to *love* giving me quote on what it would take to fix this thing 😂
I had a 2004 V70R with 6 speed manual. An independent shop did the timing belt/water pump service (with a water pump that fit and was "recommended" for the V70R). However, less than 10k miles later that water pump seized. Long story short, there is one and only one company's water pump that should be used with the 300hp 2.5l. It was 5+ years ago and I can't find my notes on which pump but (after the failure) it was easy to find info on IPD or other resources. Another note, if you get the rear facing seats from a 2001-07 V70 or XC70 (with seat belts and C pillar covers and possible trunk foot well), you have a 7 seat sleeper (a la Mercedes wagon). Mine had it as dealer installed option. Besides the one and only water pump, there is one and only shocks with the 4C suspension made by Monroe. They list for > $250 per. Amazing car! Yours (2005-07) has the nicer center console with "roll top desk" cover over the cup holders. I am keeping the stick shift AWD wagon spirit alive with a 2019 VW Golf Alltrack SEL with 6 speed manual (it is no V70R though). The radio with center speakers is amazing, mine had an aftermarket (small) subwoofer and DICE bluetooth module. All these cars were built in Belgium (I believe).
As a Volvo owner i can say... I'm jealous! That V70R is getting better by the minute! Love it! Cheers from the Netherlands!
This was great Elliot! Yeah the 5 cylinders often have a high rev on cold start for about 20-30 seconds lol. The noises are soooo familar lol. She is a beauty and can’t wait to see the progress.
Thanks Richie! I'm really loving this car.
Brake fluid change?
Great cars, my mate ran Volvo estate cars for 40 years shifting stuff between his homes.
GREAT Volvo v70 TURBO video..👌👌👍👍👌👍
Thanks Joe!
The last series of real sturdy rust free Volvo’s. You’re lucky you own it. Deserve it!
Best car I ever owned was a 2003 S60. I kept it for 15 years, most cars I only keep for 4 or 5 years. 3 years later and I still miss it at times.
I love the v70r but I kinda wish you had taken that opportunity on magiver too... either way keep up the great content and I'm excited to see where this volvo goes
That Mercedes was a little *too* far gone for my tastes. But this Volvo is rockin!
I'm a volvo maniac about them..
I used to have over a dozen other volvo and I love it
That's awesome! I can see how these cars would become addicting!
@@ElliottAlvis
Can tell how much you spend on the tune up
@@ingodwetrustdellaware-inc8322 It was about $400
@@ElliottAlvis
Awesome mate..
Don't you forget to was the engine compartment.
You done that upon the tune up
Usually That's the very 1st thing I does when I get acquired a used volvo.
You should release the video with the other details when you were charged the oils 🛢 underneath the vehicle..
We need to learn more about them.
The timing belt and water pump are quite easy to do on these,it took me about 2 hours on my B5254 engine.
Your full throttle soundtrack took me right back to my B2 (81 4000 5+5, and 86 UrQuattro) and my C2 (83 200 Turbo) Audis. Thanks for the video.
Subscribed because of the Volvo content, keep up the good work
Awesome! Thank you.
Subscribed! Like the breakdown and to see your enjoyment!
Thanks for subscribing! Glad you enjoyed it.
Cars tend to reward owners who take care of it, so the more you take care of it, the less mechanical issues it will have . Nice job
Quick tip about cabin air filters. I recommend blowing some compressed air or at least vacuuming in the filter housing. You would be surprised how much gross crap can get trapped in there still.
u have a rare gem... putt some effort and bring it back to it's former glory... well worted...
Thanks Mike, thats the plan!
This car is freakin awesome. Subscribed.
Thanks dude! I appreciate the sub!
You can get the gromet for the shifter from home depot but its black or people 3d print them and you should get a swedesource filter you will hear and feel the gains
Always put some dielectric grease on the insulators of the spark plugs. It allows the plug socket to release when you are removing the socket from the new plug.
Your channel is blowing up over this car
Thanks for noticing Kevin! I’m super stoked about it.
@@ElliottAlvis welcom to the R family btw!
Make sure you run premium fuel in it. I had an 07 XC90 and would run ok on regular but ended up burning up the catalytic converters with the VERY mild misfire it created.
Awesome car though!
Good call Jon! Premium fuel only!
You need to change oil in the awd haldex system and gearbox.
Looking forward to a lot more videos of the volvo
Thanks Anas!
It's almost as fast as how quickly you got to Euro Nation Bob to buy it.
😂😂😂 Almost as fast as that!
*urination :)
Great Video! Looking forward to next weeks!!
Thanks Matt!
Look up the stories about Paul Newman and his Volvos. They were insane.
If you haven't found them already, check out Ipd. They have tons of upgrades and parts for the R-cars. No sales tax since they are Oregon based. I would recommend getting their skid plate to protect the delicate underside of that RN motor. And you have an ABS light! Check out Xemodex for a rebuild on that unit. Also, check out the Haldex fluids and see how they're looking. People usually forget about those and the angle gear is a $$$ weakness. Finally, you can absolutely handle a timing belt job, they are a lot of work in a tight space, but worthwhile. I would 100% make sure you use OEM for all timing components, esp the water pump. I believe the OEM pumps are the same casting as the VOLVO pumps but they literally grind the volvo logo off.
Again you should join the p2R owner group for the V70R :)
I am in there on Facebook! I just haven't made a post yet.
Really enjoyable video! Way more interesting then Z4! And btw you are quite handy!
Btw what does your wife thinks about the car? Did the insurance finally come around with Z4?
Still going back and forth with insurance about the Z4. And my wife thinks the Volvo is “ugly”. I’m hoping she changes her mind once she rides in it lol
I’ve taken the hood blanket off and I take the sleeve off the air filter. You will hear your turbo much better! Unfortunately they don’t paint the bottom of the hood so it will be silver. For me my R is silver so it matches.
*Incase if ur painting it NARDO GRAY will look gr8!!!*
*It'll be a unique Volvo station wagon* 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those subs are JUMPIN! Nice work Elliot, love watching your channel grow, and the V70R content is a great way to do it!
I know! I am so excited, I can hardly believe it! Thanks for the support!
@@ElliottAlvis Yessir, you deserve it! I've made a few cringe-worthy, amateur-quality car videos, but you've inspired me to get some better equipment and keep making some [hopefully better] content!
I'm here from seeing you last week on Hoofties channel, and I gotta say I much prefer your presentation style and format and the way you follow through with a car showing it's progress.
Time for a brake fluid flush too. It always amazes me how much better old brakes feel with just new fluid.
Every Volvo guy and gal is going to watch these. Nice choice to magnify your viewership!
Love the car, also hope you enjoy it as well.
I’m loving every second of it. Glad you are too!
@@ElliottAlvis it's going better than my 3rd gen Camaro project. It has a mystery issue and many tools were thrown in rage thanks to it lol.
very jealous--love the car!
My dad has a passion red v70r with awd, 6 speed manual space all, 300 horsepower, turbo, third row seats, and same color blue interior as yours. He bought it for $4000 and it was in really good condition compared to yours.
Here’s a tip, when buying standard v70 parts for it, never tell the person you are buying from that your car is an R. They will charge you more.
My second time watchig this. Can't wait for the new episode ! That Volvo was a find !
That's a really cool car, I'm happy for you.👍
P.S. put a bigger turbo please.
What about the brake, coolant, and power steering fluids?
Your too intelligent to watch this IDIOT!
@@ericbrandt829 Go outside, walk into traffic and off yourself poosie.
@@SpeCifiC0507 Whooooooooooooosssshhhhh!!!
The Anti-skid light warning is the clock spring behind the steering, common failure too. You replace that and the light is gone.
That deserves a Maaco paint job after it's all sorted. Loving the content!
Nice vr! If you want to go with a nice aftermarket air intake, I would go with a swedsource filter. It has the most performance increase for an intake plus they look super nice.
Nice! Thanks for the suggestion!
never been this early to a video so had to do the early person comment but I am not very witty so this is the best I could do.
I appreciate the comment either way Merlin!
Tip I found for the spark plug socket staying in the head.... Buy a second one to Rip the rubber out and have one with the rubber peice for strictly removal.
Oh man, magic blue, manual, facelift year, not ruined, intercooler not chipped to hell, fully dry underneath, that's a good (and rare) one!! By the way, by hearing the tire squeal on upshift, check if the AWD is really working. It's a common fail on these, mine had a defective unit as well. And that shifter 'bushing' is 3D printable if you have access to one :)
It’s a start! Keep it up n keep us updated, best of luck
Will do Deni, thanks!
Elliot I’m just wondering what’s your day job?
I have been watching ya for a while I'm really praying your channel grows huge you deserve it bro. Much love vinnie from Seattle
Thanks Vinnie! That means a lot.
Get a full 3-inch exhaust or 3.5inch.
IPD has a good 3-inch exhaust.
There’s a 3.5inch downpipe on viva performance I believe.
To do a proper stage 0 you need to do the PCV as well. Volvo have a real quirky breather system that can clog over time and cause a world of hurt.
Good luck
Coming together already 🔥
I know! Amazing for just a week
So did you do the filter shake or open it up to see how bad it was?
On which filter? They were all pretty darn bad.
@@ElliottAlvis on the fuel filter. Curious to how bad the filter was backed up
The sound of 5 cylinders is fantastic.
Many of us that have worked on a lot of Volvos don't recommend NGK iridium plugs. I wouldn't pull them out but if you start to see any misfires put in oem Volvo plugs or just a good set of coppers. Loving these videos.
Thanks Dan, I appreciate the tip!
