I BOUGHT This Turbocharged 1 Owner VOLVO S60 For $450

- I bought this 2001 Volvo S60 2.4t for what the new tires on it cost, and it's leaking oil faster than you can fill it. The owner took the car to a mechanic and he said it was going to cost more than the car was worth to sort out a couple little issues and a very large oil leak. One neighbor told another neighbor to call me and I would buy it, things just came together after that. Today I picked it up for $450, all that's left is figuring out what's wrong and getting it moved down the road. It still runs and drives but as soon as you park it, oil pours out of the engine for quite a while.

This is the best JR content...fixing up older cheap cars
In my opinion it's one of the best types of TH-cam content period.
Back to good ol JR hooptie rebuilds! Thought you went Hollywood on us for a second with that goldwing.
By Hollywood did you mean central IL?
Just having some fun with the Goldwing, I love that thing! 😂
@@metromusic5725 um, he lives in Kansas!!
@@catfisher420 He biked to Springfield IL for a racetrack event. So he went Central Illinois, not Hollywood.

Check PCV pull or push (glove test on oil filler). If PCV sys is clogged, it'll puke oil out the Front/Rear main seals, cam seals...alot of labor to replace the PCV but not too difficult. FCP has great parts and helpful videos for the PCV. Good Luck! I own three Volvos and finally understand their 'quirks'.
JR: "the first thing I need to do is get the plasti-dip off the front wheels" as he wades thru an oil slick. Hey, maybe you should name this one Valdez (probably before your time).
Terry Lessmann: LOL!
Fix the oil leak and it would be a GREAT daily driver. It’s super clean
This oil leak Sparks my interest. I think Gabe should be persuaded to join this flip he's good luck !
Hanky Bannist8r: LOL! Yup, I’m in.
I'm willing to bet a cam seal pushed out of the head. You can replace the seal but that should be followed up with a PCV rebuild kit to reduce the pressure in the crankcase.
Recently got myself a 2008 version of this car with a similar story. One owner, Volvo maintained with incredible detail. ALL maintenance done within last 30k miles or less. Paid $4000 for the car and felt that was fair based on it's history. Drive it daily..love it. 156k miles and not a problem. Love these things. Had a 2004 AWD version and loved it as much. Bought my wife a 2013 S60 recently. Great cars.
“Buy this energy drink... wait, what car am I in again???”
Unfortunately that timing belt might need to be done again... looks like the front cam seals. Pop off that front timing belt cover to confirm.
Replace all four cams seals, timing belt/idler/tensioner (if they're contaminated with oil, you may have lucked out), PCV (likely the reason there's an oil leak... PCV is backed up and blew out the seals). I recently bought an '03 2.4T that needed the same thing. I also have an '01 on the driveway that I did the same work to... it's really not that bad. Then again, I've done all those jobs probably 5+ times now with how many Volvos I've owned... lol.
Yay!!!! Gabe makes your videos better!!!
chris simpson:😉🍻
These are the best videos when you fix these cars.
My bet is that the PVC system is blocked causing the oil to puke out because it’s not breathing.
My thought, too. Put a glove on the oil filler and see if it inflates, that will tell you real quick whether the PCV is no longer breathing. PCV clogs may also cause it to hunt a bit at idle.
One owner car always serviced at Volvo, I would imagine they would have fixed it if it was that simple... But could be. Could have gotten clogged up and blew the rear main seal too.
Gary Tinsley, yeah, it’s a bit of a stretch I know, but I once bought a car (from a mechanic) that thought he had seized the engine... for $75. It had a PVC blockage that forced oil out of the dipstick tube when running. Being a European built car, (Ford Capri from Germany) I was pretty sure that it had a low oil kill switch that would have shut the motor off before seizing. It turned out I was right. I put 125k on that car over the next 5 years... until it was hit by a taxi cab totaling it.
I bought a 2001 volvo s40 turbo and the engine was blowing so much positive pressure that it blew the camshaft seal.
hey man it's your bud from the gooding & co auction/hot dog line at laguna....I took your advice and sub'd...good stuff bro!
joe b.: Cheers Joe!😉🍻
Man you have solid friends in your hood.
cmo380: Fact.
If you can keep the parts costs down, that car is in nice shape considering the mileage on it.
elton john: Fact!
Really enjoy watching these videos bro! Motivated me to get into the business while having fun!👍🏾💰
That's the biggest thing, have fun doing it. I've done plenty of flips, lost on some, made money on some, but at the end of the day I always had fun bringing them back into service
It sure is bro! It’s always a dope feeling buying a parts car and pretty much bringing it back to life!
@@singlecabsaturday7360 yes sir, it's a great satisfying feeling once it's completed.
I have an 02 s60 2.4t, floor model with every possible option installed. I keep all the maintenance up and it is the best car I have ever owned.
I love volvos. Make sure you check the ETM, electronic throttle module and the pcv system. I've had a few and I know a ton about them so any questions you have JR, just ask me
Cam hubs aren't the issue...listen to me and take the ETM off, make sure the throttle plate doesnt stick. Both my S60 and S80 had that issue. Theres a company on ebay that sells upgraded ones. Swedenauto I believe.
Unfortunately those volvos aren't worth much. I sold my s80 for 1200, it had all service done at volvo as well. 2k is usually maximum for a 99 to 02 s60 or s80
Tracker and more one day Honda flips.
Yeah but how many times do you really want to see a Honda with typical Honda issues? 🤔 I love them but I get tired of working on the same car.
WatchJRGo i can watch those all the time
@@WatchJRGo Good point. One day flips on different cars then. Also, after the tracker get a Fiero GT.
Do a Buick flip. I love a good 3800
@@WatchJRGo agree. Love this crazy all over content. Build them subs no matter how. Keep it up.
Nice, it’s got the “auto oil change” feature...😉🤣
Looks like a great project car! This is my favorite type of build. 🙂
You can use the strut boots from an XC and they are a bit thicker so they last a little longer.
Those Volvo's are solid, change out every seal you can find though.
Awesome! Looking forward to this getting fixed.
What a score with the fresh timing belt!
Well, race or no race, at least you got a nice ride on that beautiful Goldwing.
brill video JR.own a 2005 s60 myself so the tips are great.how great also FCP Euro are with the parts,wish they could sponsor me:)looking forward to the next s60 video already.great work mate.
I don't no what its called but there is a spray you can spray on the wheels to dissolve the plastic dip. Its like dip remover it something like that. Works great.
Locusts and cicadas, particularly periodical cicadas, are often confused. However, the two are quite different. Locusts are a type of grasshopper, while cicadas are actually cousins of crickets - Its OK, you're from Wichita :)
Sorry have to go, Tavares just uploaded a video. Don't worry, I will be back. You are my 234th favorite youtuber
lol
Keep up the awesome work and thanks for the content
THOSE ARE CICADAS in the background not locusts. locusts are grasshoppers. Cicadas are the little exoskeletons you see stuck to your tree or your tire in the morning after they molt there skin. That what make that skreetching sound at night!
catfisher420 Brown: I keep correcting him on this! LOL!
Seems everyone here calls them locusts for some reason... oh well. 😉🍻
That cargo divider is good, it stops the kids fighting instantly
Thank u for flipping regular cars. only you and randy autoauction do this. You dont take losses
Love these flip car videos! 😀
When you do your CV joints I'd be interested as to how it's done. I've never done one before but it would be useful to know.
these are the videos that got me to subscribe .thank you .
Whoa one owner?! That’s epic
Are you going to wrap the Volvo in duck dynasty camo?
Dude you've got a 5 cylinder now. Your first priority should be exhaust!!
Pcv box gets clogged easily fixs go to ipd has everything you need
Zack is less than enthused about the S60...the last one must've been a nightmare.
And the outtake about the R8 is a gem - maybe it is time to install the new engine?
That car looks exactly like my car.. I just replaced the strut, strut mount, spring seat and ball joints. My car had about the same mileage but is a Canadian car and it's not a turbo. But right up until I bought it it was serviced at the dealer. Wish mine was a turbo as it's the slug of all slugs.
That's really good price! I'd take it anytime!
PVC system plugged. Clean it out.
You should put all your working cars on Turo and see if people like renting them out or not. Good luck with that Volvo!! Hoovie could too, but his break all the time so not sure how that would go :)
I had the Volt on there, it rented out a few times... everything else (other than the Abarth) is too old 😢
@@WatchJRGo Thats a bummer! You think there would be a special spot for older cars.
P2 Volvos eat strut mounts and spring seats. The seat can be replaced with ones from an XC-90 if you want to go for something that will last more than 80K. Struts are usually not too long for the world after the seats go. That oil leak though, oh man, that's on the business end of the engine. Hard to get decent access with out being an acrobat or a small handed child. Good luck, hopefully it's just cam seals. Check your flame trap and associated piping as well if it's a seal. Positive pressure may have caused one or more seals to go. RIP That new T-belt; it's probably oil soaked, no bueno.
FCP Groton/FCP Euro will be your best source for decent Volvo parts.
The top selling point for J.R. seems to be those two keys...
I would go ahead and replace the belt it's not hard to jerryrig the cams locked (theres specific cheap tools to lock it also) and replace the belt. Recommended service intervals are every 70k or 6 years. If you do choose to do it do the tensioner and water pump also
I was looking at the FCP Euro tool, would be nice to have around for other Volvos 💯
Nice car for the price I like my '00 BMW 323i but it needs work lol nothing major but costly lol like a head gasket and valve cover gasket and a blower motor lol but it runs good when it cools off some coolant gets into the cylinders but after you start it it stops
@jrgo my buddy bought the same type and spend couple grand to rebuild the tranny,
found that volvo has proprietary programming to get the syncros synced
Sounds like a throttle body to me. Before you change it, make sure it's not the connector from the harness. $20 repair vs $300. Common issue that is often overlooked.
Ahhh... my disease is spreading! My driveway is full of $300 turbo Volvos... I just can't stop buying them!
Well brother, if you want one more, I've got a doosey of a 2001 S40 that's absolutely for sale currently.....
Reminds me of my old V70. Mine was a 2.5t and AWD
Loved my 500$ Volvo S80. Very fun car
Where is ambergini at?
cam seals and them pcv oil trap
That might be a keeper!
Cool, fixed easy 3Gs, cheers!
But is it a one owner car that’s only been serviced at Volvo?
hockeyparty12: Yes.
Check the PCV valve once u replace the seals.
Love that car!!!
Well fix it and I'll come up from Texas and buy for 1000 it's a win win let a guy know 👍
Dude beat me to the punch. I will give 1,200 for it and I am in KANSAS. No wait I have no money 😫😞
@@makecorollagreatagain1876 no lol I have a 16 year old that is destin to wreck first car so it might as well be a Volvo
@@curtthacker43 Yah those things are like tanks. Cool hope you find a good car for them.
@@makecorollagreatagain1876 I did JR is going to fix one up for me lol
On this episode of watch JR go the entire videos in the dark. .
mopar fan: LOL!
I think that’s a cicada making that noise.
Steven Plumley: You are correct.
These videos are good.
you mean cicadas, locusts are a swarm of grasshoppers, they physically change when they are in a swarm and eat. cicadas just scream and fuck
I wanna see the Tracker!
You can see it in this video 💯
WatchJRGo 😂 i mean a video about the Tracker haha
I've got a new instrument cluster on the way for it, should be a fun one 💪
Tell all your PD officers if they are soooo bored that they need to be hassle some poor gal because of Blah... Blah... Blah... the Detroit PD would be happy to accept them on their force. Drive by shootings included. Must supply your own diapers. Drive buys are usually accomplished by either an AR-15 or a ("Chopper") AK-47! 🆒🆒🆒🆒
having your car impounded outside your house is the stupidest shit, it should be illegal to stela property from someone for stupid reasons
You bought it right. Just call your friends at J&J and put a new motor in it.
Big fan of this plan... just have to see what all these parts cost vs what an engine costs. 🍻
You buy a Volvo, but never seen you buy a Volkswagen/Audi. Explain R8 doesn’t count
Those locusts sound scary af man, we only get a couple crickets here in California lmao
Yah locusts only live in America
CICADAS*
Checkout PCV.
need to know how you remove the pastidip off the wheels.
Chris Vargas: Next video posting soon.
I have same issue
Haha that sounds like my car dumping quarts whenever parked, replaced gasket, then was still leaking and it was an oil pressure sensor, filled up oil one day 4 days later shits dry
I have to ask. How do you find these deals? I've been trying to find some like this in the Tulsa area and people want $1000 for cars with blown rods, and pistons. I found one VW Passat for $360 but the flywheel needed replaced and new electrical. Someone cut a bunch of wires under the hood and just tucked them in to try and hide it.
What do you look for on a potential flip car? And do you find most of your cars on FB market? (Is there a video on that that I missed?)
Hey JR! What do you use to scan your cars?
What camera do you use? Quality is pretty good for night time
It looks like it could be saved and a good daily too.
Easily saved I hope, I'm on the case 🍻
This is what I like flipping cars
Dude I've been trying to find cheap cars to fix up and never find them easy any tips doing so?
I love this Flips
Well if all fails you can part out and make some pretty good money out of it
Oh no doubt, wheels and tires should cover the investment 🍻
145k on an S60 is nothing. That’s a really nice car dude
The bugs are cicadas. Not locusts.
My 2005 XC90 t6 has an oil leak has ever since I bought it last year only leaks for a couple mins after you turn it off.
How many keys does it have?
You poor glutton for punishment. Volvo S 60 is not a reliable car . Speaking from my own experience
Joseph Payne i guess it depends on what condition the car is when you get it... I drove mine for 6 years without a problem. Only reason I sold it was because I needed an SUV, so I got an xc90. Same thing.... no problems at all!
@@rodpolice we bought ours from the dealership and it would not start half the time took it to the dealership many many times and they claimed to have replaced the computers etc. Never could figure out why it would not start sometimes. Got tired of having it towed .
Joseph Payne damn... what year was it?
@@rodpolice 2003
Robbing your neighbors 101
From one volvo s60 owner to another, replace that filler cap gasket with a IPD HD Oil Cap Seal, the factory ones are flawed and tend to leak oil after a few oil changes, and must be replaced with every oil change.. for around $10 you can get a upgraded seal that you won't have to change again @ IPDUSA.com
30.mpg in a little fiat hell.fire is there air in the tyres
Crank seal for sure hahaha
What is happed to the John Deere 420?
Not quite a collectors item, that 200 Arbarth is now being discontinued. If you want one, buy it before it is gone (all 200s discontinued): www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/fiat-500-discontinued-in-us-for-2020/ar-AAGHTI2?li=BBnb4R7
Why does TH-cam keep unsubscribing me from your channel? wtf
Brent Bender: No idea. Welcome back!!😉🍻
if I could afford it would love to buy that car from you, how is Ambergini.
Too bad Volvo got rid of the red block.
