I know and love every inch of these redblock engines. These late model turbo iterations are some of the best, simplest, easiest to maintain and tune, most reliable motors ever made. I've owned seven Redblock cars over the years with a combined mileage of well over 1,000,000, and have never, ever been let down by any of them. Always got me to my destination and did 40k plus a year in exchange for just fuel, an oil and filter every 5000 miles or so and a set of plugs twice a year. I currently drive a mint 2.3 turbo petrol estate with 85k on it (identical to the one in this video, but in MUCH better condition!) And 2.4 TDIC diesel estate which is mechanically superb at 280k, but is awaiting a respray due to extensive sun damage to the lacquer over the years. Both drive beautifully. Just the best cars.
I can't understand how someone who owns one of these trusty Volvos from the late 80s and 90s can leave them to die. These era Volvos are like labrador dogs, trusty, happy and always giving back if you treat them well.
When you use it, it stays useful and beautiful. But if you leave it quiet in oblivion, it withers and dies. This is a lesson of life: don't stop loving or your heart will be a Volvo forgotten in the backyard...
Yes i agree with you ...i still driving my volvo 940 single TURBO 1997 ...! The smell interior still like brand new car smell ...! Flexiny i check estonia , the airport tillin near by to finland ..few hundred kilometers from warsaw poland ...! Your country population about 1.4xx million ...! Your big mosque for muslim people to pray very nice ...hope to visit your country side one day ...after the border re-open ...! regards from kuala lumpur malaysia ...just beside Singapore .
Ive had an 850, 244, 240 very clean wagon with 120k miles, 245 wagon year -79 which had holset hx35 super turbo rebuild chassis with adjustable coils and 300hp. When i first drove my moms 850 wagon just when i get my licence i was instatly in love. Volvo has been allways very good to drive and so damn trustable. Maybe i get my first 740 soon. My parents had an 740 limousine when i was kid and it was awesome.
This is an ideal FAMILY VEHICLE, for nice long drives in the countryside with all the goodies including the family dog,hitting the road early on a SATURDAY MORNING !
You are right, because the new generation Volvos are the same as other European cars, forget about new Volvos, I had four deferent Volvos during last 20 years, I know well about this brand, new Volvos are faster and fancier, that's it, they are not as good and as sturdy as bullet proof old ones.
@@Ebbsilen Yeah it hurts.. seeing Swedes or Americans put big turbos on stock blocks because muh undestroyable engine and then complain when it blows.. Then again we do the same here to VW's, Mercedes' etc. while in other countries these cars are sought after and expensive.
Sitting on wet grass, in a puddle, the cancer is right through it. Insane amount of work to restore, the body. I have three 97's, it's enough keeping them, looking good, without the rust.
Looks sad to me. I've got a -87 model and it no ways is in that bad cond. It's still drivin well with almost no rust anywhere and i even live in goddamn Finland where the winters are extreme.
I had one of these back in the day illegally of course. Bought it from outside an auction where you just turned up, paid money and drove off lol. Had to put petrol in it though before returning home. It was a good solid car 2.0 litre engine that had abit of poke. It was so solid i used it once to ram raid Currys, it went right through the shutters bless it and we spent all night filling it with tvs etc, took us quite a few journeys. On another occasion, one of my friends had been attacked by a local gang of youths so we waited until midnight and went out in the Volvo looking for them. We saw about 10 of them hanging around where they usually did and i drove the Volvo straight at them. Build quality was so great and sturdy that after i ran over them all there wasnt even a dent at the front, Awesome! I reversed over the ones that were still moving and off we went to the petrol station as the Volvo was thirsty again. Another time a friend (saying no names) had an evil step mother, we would often talk about what we could do to help his dire situation. I turned up one day at his house as id heard on the grapevine that his step mum was taking lessons to learn how to drive. I offered to let her drive the Volvo and she was very eager to learn. I gave her the keys and waited. She drove off. What she didnt know was id emptied the brake fluid tank and the brakes would fail shortly. Ten minutes or so later we heard a mighty bang! we quickly sprinted to the accident scene and saw the Volvo on 2 wheels buried in the side of this house. Luckily it was only a bungelow. the wicked step mum had gone right through the windowscreen, right through the bungelow and out the back window, dead instantly no doubt so my friend was happy. I was quite chuffed for him. We quickly turned the Volvo over onto its wheels and god bless it the Volvo started up right away. We got it away from the scene, parked up and put Brake fluid in it. Then jobs a good un. Front end was crumpled slightly but a rubber hammer would suffice quite sufficiently on this occasion. What a car, a proper tank and i will never forget Betty the Volvo she drank petrol though i remember so was very thirsty but she made me alot of money bless her.
They use to be good my 3 years old volvo have over heat issue all cooling was vanishing after engine start, reapear after switch off engine No mechanic from UK was able to fix it ,I returned it to leasing
Please make us a favor and stop using that camera. Half of the video is blurred because the focus is incorrect. It destroys the pleasure of watching this great material. Personally I advice you to buy a decent smartphone, even the old Samsung S8 would be great. And just tap on the screen where you want the focus to be. Leave focusing to electronics.
Your call of course. Just wanted to underline that this lack of focus is very disruptive for the viewer. And many today's phones (including aformentioned S8) are able to record video 1080p@60fps. Don't know how about angles.
@@donnyhitz Don't get me wrong i'm not saying volvo's are bad cars i got a volvo 340 myself it just doesn't seem worth it to spend all that money on it if you can find a working driving volvo because they don't go for alot of money where i am from.
Lol did you come to get some break pads? I'm not sure what was the point of taking the brakes apart and putting them together. I thought you will try to start and drive it :D

The new Volvo is a ford/mazda/kia/renault. It is a mongrel compilation.

Just bought a 1993 Turbo wagon in California with 150K Miles. ZERO rust.
Mustang owners: you neither can drift nor drive
Volvo owners: *FAST BRICK GO BRRRRR*

Rust is the creation of the devil.

Luukas Lindholm my 240 is over 700 000 kms

What kinda maniac leaves a friggin *TURBO* 940 to sit!?
Those things are worth gold if they're somewhat well maintained where i live.
Man, I hated having to work on machinery in weather like that.
With the rare m90 gearbox aswell. Very nice
Is the m90 rare? I got like 4 sitting in the garage rn lol
Best car from Sweden the volvo 940
2.3 turbo hell yeah
Classic rims!
I finally donated my 1998 Volvo V90 wagon, it sat in the garage for 5 years. I got a nice tax write off...
Trust me. It will start!
Linda Volvo 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷😌😌😌😌😌🏎️😌😌😌
Save this Volvo
Tom the raton 77 I think it’s better to salvage this car. There are many parts which can be used in better preserved Volvo‘s...
It will be a waste of money
@@supertimmy2003 you won't get parts for them, hard enough to get parts on modern volvos then trying to get them for this
Love it... Volvo 940
Мдяяя, досталось вольвочке😥
А новая она была наверно ураган👍
I have a volvo v70 wagon glt turbo... Awesome car in The world

The hard plastic snow mats, egg crate grille and M90 gearbox would be worth a fair few quid!
Volvo cars are awesome.
Thats soo true!!!
Beautiful swedish creation
❤❤
thats so sad. with so much accessories and its just sitting and rotting away
people destroy these thing on purpose here
RifleRud I met a man with a 240 wagon turbo 5 speed with 77k miles just rotting away in his back yard.
Le tu viste que arrancar y de volverle la vida . Era lo que todos esperábamos..

Great car.
It's in good nick. Needs some work here and there but apart from that it's in good nick
Where do you keep finding these cars? 😀. What happens to them? Some need to be rescued!
Great car! Cracked windshield, interior full of toxic mold and mouse turds, sagging headliner; great car!
Such a waste of a lovely Volvo
And fans can't have any because they all been wasted in such conditions...
@@Ebbsilen Yeah it hurts.. seeing Swedes or Americans put big turbos on stock blocks because muh undestroyable engine and then complain when it blows.. Then again we do the same here to VW's, Mercedes' etc. while in other countries these cars are sought after and expensive.

Sitting on wet grass, in a puddle, the cancer is right through it. Insane amount of work to restore, the body. I have three 97's, it's enough keeping them, looking good, without the rust.
