I'm not calling this a "fluid flush" video because we lost half the stock to the driveway. Its a drain and fill... But it's fourteen steps in the right direction!
The AW70 transmission is a 4 speed automatic used in most non-turbo Volvo models of the 80s and early 90s. The Turbo cars got the AW71. Shouldn't be too different a procedure. Just don't forget your drain plug 😉
Volvo 240s are easy to work on, but they NEED work. That's the trouble with owning one in 2021. Otherwise you pay premium. She paid premium and we were still lied to about some of the things it needs, but we were prepared 🤠 🤙

Nobody makes narration of mechanical repairs sound as theatrical as David Bello. Lovely.
You sir......you are a real life walking, talking all knowing volvo green book!!!!!
Ain't that the truth I wish I lived around his neck of the woods I live in fort Lauderdale Florida I have a 93 Volvo 240 third to the last one ever made with 66,000 original miles it's been nothing but a basket full of problems and the mechanics that I've used have been mediocre and some have tried to f****** over.
@@jaimeprieto6864 I have 1988 244DL with m47 5 speed. These cars are so simple while being so complex as well. They are such rewarding vehicles. I love driving my non turbo 5 speed more than my 850 turbo🤫
I bought mine 3 years ago February of 2018 bought it from a doctor who rented a warehouse across the street from where I worked he was selling it because he had seven cars and his daughter was going off to college and said she did not want the Volvo so you put it for sale and some guy from Texas was going to give him $4,000 and come to get it but it never materialized I bought it for 1,000 and I've already invested close to 5,000 maybe more I'm not really a mechanic not even a weekend mechanic but I've done some work on my cars and my diesel truck that was many years ago I wanted to do at least 50% of the work but I had a stroke in my eye and I also have some impediment when it comes together my thoughts but I'm not a quitter I'll figure out a way to get it the way I want it good luck with your Volvo.
Another way to keep the gasket in place without silicon is to use cable ties when mounting. I learned the from m539 restorations
That is a super tip and also the wrong time to just discover that 👰🏻♂️ is an emoji...
And if I haven't said it before, that Sarah is trouper par excellence! Good on you both!
The look she gave you when you said fluids in and around everything lol
David “Do you think these shoes go well with these pants because you know like the blue and orange?”
Sarah “I think.... no”
David “....mkay”
David’s soul: leaves his body
Used to love Starsky and Hutch. 😏
I went ahead and replaced the cooler lines while I was at it
I love that you just go at a task. I always have to work up to starting something like this. I guess that's the difference between needing motivation and being disciplined. Love the videos as always, keep them coming :D
I’ll try to remember that tomorrow on the 164 work. It’s daunting how the garage is an exploded view of two cars
Once you have fully dissembled and cleaned/reassembled an AW 7- ; you become pleased that you undertook it!
Nice job and thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Don't feel bad about forgetting to put the plug back. I was servicing my diesel Toyota Hilux and never realized the plug has fallen into the collector hole when removing it. I just unplugged it and moved to something else. 15' later I realized 8 quarts of 8k miles diesel oil were in my house entrance. Wife was soooooooooooooooooo happy about it ...
Last transmission fluid change I did replace the plug... I did fill the transmission correctly... but never took the oil bucket from under the car... and when I moved forward I spilled it all.
Ouch.
In my Volvo 240 with AW70 transmission, what I'm doing is, instead of a proper job as you did, I just add draining the ATF fluid to the regular maintenance once a year. I only put a couple of thousand miles per year so I believe at least I'm renewing 1/3 of fluid on yearly basis. Great videos as usual. I do the same with power steering fluid. Differential oil and coollant, I do every 3 years.
ok. i just change car
Great video!
I had 3 manual transmission 240s over the years all where great cars I did have one auto and i did enjoy that car very much
👍👌👏 What more to say than:
David Bello, the truly Volvo whisperer par excellence!
As always Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Thanks you very much for the gasket tips, used the cable tie idea from the comments too and it worked really well. I realized the drain plug was stripped taking off the pan; and I went and got a used one which came with the dipstick tube attached. Had to disconnect the bar that the trans mount sits on and drop it down to do it. Definitely never want to do it again, getting the original dipstick tube off was an anxiety attack.
Awesome information/ tutorial, thanks David.☝🏽👍👌
My gasket kit only came with one also. I ended up using some loctite gasket maker on the other side during assembly.
Yep been there, as an apprentice chef my job was to clean the Deep fat fryer, 25 ltrs of Fresh in the top , 25 ltrs over my Feet. it was like a skating ring.
very hepful for 17 years i flush from the transmisson lines to the radiator line top line
I did the same service on my f150😁😉
I need a friend like you, my 940 is making me cry.
Me too :-(. Finally got my 940 started and drove her, drove nicely. Plenty of power.
@@adriancarpenter4493 mine drove to the store then had to be towed home, now she wont start, sometimes it wont even crank.
@@Sepukku616 she’s been so reliable for 21 years, regularly looked after by Volvo main dealer. But last two weeks :-(
@@Sepukku616 My 940 was running perfectly until I parked it in my back yard. Two weeks later I try to start engine. It cranked well but would not fire. Diagnosed fuel pump failure in fuel tank. Then I decide I will fix it. Mistake. 17 months later I am close to attempting a restart. Ah well, Volvo life. It's still a beautiful car.
Gotta love that razor blade romance!🪒🪒🪒
Just a couple of sheltered kids trying to feel their feels
@@DavidBello "we were both 16 and it felt so right, sleeping all day & staying up all night!" 😁😁😁
Appreciate this video I took my 2:40 at the beginning of the year to a European transmission shop they did a lousy job it started leaking 3 weeks started leaking through the pan and to the overdrive solenoid I'm going to go ahead and do it myself I bought me a bypass for the overdrive solenoid and a special gasket by any chance did you put a o-ring between the dipstick tubing and the transmission pan I didn't see it in the video
Just thinking about the fluid being immediately changed in colour...Was watching some other Volvo folks do the transmission fluid change....they ran it twice, cost more, but, in the end it was clean, as all the old remaining stuff ran out...the new stuff took it, as they drained the first new batch....The second fill left it clear and clean, they used a bottle system to see it run clear. Your work is interesting to view, these cars brought back to operational standards speaks of the quality in the first place, yet they all have failures in their design. ...Where did you learn to do all this....is it class learning, or just not scared to pull stuff apart...
The age old question of maintenance on an old car....will it make it better or worse? I’ve decided to let well enough alone on my daughter’s 200,000 mile Hyundai Elantra that I’m sure has never had to fluid changed
It shifts better but leaks out the worn front and rear seals every so much more now.
I Have a question David what did you use to tighten the big bolt. In the side of the pan?
Have you started the 164 TE, I am interested in seeing how does that car come out.
Nice - over filling is a curse, even when I deliberately underfill, it ends up overfilled 👀
I know RYE?
THIS is why I jettisoned my autotragic and went manual.
If the fluid looked dirty, you should have just let it all drain out and refill with new. Actually, 2 or 3 drain and refills would be in order if the fluid hasn't been changed in a while.
What type of transmission fluid are you used? I want to do my 1988 740 gle non turbo and my 85 240 dL
Umm... Flare wrench for the dipstick fitting? Asking for a friend.
No. A flare wrench is not strong enough and will likely break. I use a 15" adjustable and have not had any trouble with rounding the nut.
So that filler pipe just comes out of the plug?
Hey mate, I have an 89 240 wagon in Australia, and I have an overdrive issue.
Firstly, I have already done the solenoid bypass by cutting a slot between the fluid ports and using only the outer o ring after. So I believe I have eliminated solenoid or relay being the issue.
Now my OD does work, but only at 100km/h or higher, and ONLY when I floor the accelerator till you get the “click”. It will then drop from 3rd into 2nd gear, rev to 4000rpm and then when I release the accelerator it drops back to 3rd briefly and then into 4th/ overdrive.
So it almost feels like the trans isn’t building enough pressure to activate the OD circuit, until I get to 4000rpm.
Do you have any advice or suggestions here? Could dirty/low fluid cause this?
Or a bad kickdown cable?
Thanks!!
David, I have done similar maintenance on my 1992. The oil is being constantly spat out from the breather tube at the top of the transmission. Frequently to the point where it would begin to slightly slip. The only way I was able to keep the oil in the transmission is by running a rubber hose from the breather tube along the dipstick tube all the way to its top. The oil I am using is Mobil One Synthetic ATF. Do you have any suggestions?
Do you have the correct length dipstick? It could be overfilled.
@@dudley7540 It is long deep-stick with the long deep-stick tube. I do have a cam swapped to IPD's VX and have it advanced by 5 degrees. This gives me a low-end torque and I am not sure if that contributes to the problem with AW70.
well i was hoping to find out what my friend and i did wrong when we did this on our 240 project car but we did the same procedure as you and when we got it down it wouldn't engage in any gear... just acted as if it was in neutral/park the whole time.. any ideas?
have you find out what causing the problem? mine is also acting like that, but in my case it did go into gears R,D at first after driving 500meters it became like the car is in neutral eventough the gear lever is at D or R...Please let me know if you got it figure out?
@@rafizihazim9675 it turned out my friend confused the engine oil and transmission fluid dipsticks and we’re essentially putting atf into the engine oil dipstick instead of into the transmission. Only other way a symptom like that could occur that im aware of is not enough fluid or something hurt with the trans/or it’s slipping
Mmm... let's do a filter and oil change...but what to wear... I know...white pants!, that seems logical ;-)
Hey David or anyone that sees this, my project Volvo 240 isn't starting and it is baffling me. After using ether I found it isn't getting spark and the fuel pumps aren't working. The computer is still working because it sends codes to the diagnostic module (its lh 2.4) however it doesn't send out any error code. I don't think it's the crankshaft position sensor because the car was working perfectly fine before, and it hasn't seen any road use at all. I think it is my fault because I was mad one day and I was pulling on the aftermarket tach that the previous owner installed, but I have no clue what that would have to do with causing the fuel pump and spark to stop. I was wondering if you could tell me where you would look first in this situation.
That tach wire goes to your ignition coil. Make sure you didn’t short the signal side of the coil to ground when you monkeyed with the tachometer. That would get you no spark or fuel! It’s the red and white wire on the coil that goes to lug 1.
@@mreidsma3006 I was thinking a possibility would be the ignition coil since I was screwing with the tach and since there's no wire on one side. But the aftermarket tach wasn't even working and i don't even know if it was connected anymore. If I shorted the signal side (which im assuming is the negative side) then ill probably have to get a new coil right? Ill look more into what to do about testing a coil.
@@surfinbird208 Disconnect the coil and use an ohmmeter to test it from tab 15 to 1, and then from 15 to the center and from 1 to the center. The specs should be in your repair manual or you should be able to Google them. It's rarely the coil, more often the wiring or CPS or fuel filter relay.
@@surfinbird208 You can also check for voltage to the coil on 15 (12v) and for signal to tab 1. Should be more info on the internet somewhere.
Hi, the 240s were notorious for having defective fuel tank pre-pumps. A good way to check this is to make sure the tank is at least 3/4 full, preferably full. If it starts fine, it's because the full tank is providing enough pressure to the engine. If the engine doesn't start when the tank goes below half, it's probably the Pre-pump. I had to get mine changed after running it with no problems, then it stopped and didn't start until more gas was added. It took me a lot of time to figure this out. Hope this helps.
How much fluid did you use?
2 gallons, I think, which is about 2/3 of the system capacity. But we also spilled a lot so it wasn’t a complete flush
