J.Yossarian Not sure why it would have problems. The heating problems here are because they are too lazy to fix it. The one I was in got rode very hard with constant revving and no problems with overheating.
tgb 11 as we call the used to have radios and table and so on at the back for leading combat. the "big brother" tgb 13 are a six wheel version. just put snow chains on and it will climb like anywhere. and never had problem driving one during hot summer. standard is a petrol engine.
Also included in the manual is the note "я подчиняюсь", nah just kidding ;) Back in the day the Swedes would probably give the Russians a ride for their money
I drove the six-wheeled variant TGB13 for 10 months during military service. It was slow, loud, smelly, heavy, and had bad visibility, but I miss it the most of any vehicle I've ever driven.
My Mercedes runs hot like that. It's only has a 4.2 liter V8, but it pumps out a ton of heat. I'm thinking that hood venting would help me the most with it at this point.
Drive line questions: 1- What are the L & H transmission positions? Sub-first gear gears? Are they in any way tied to the transfer case/center differential? 2- 'Framhjuls Drift' - Apparently has something to do with front wheel drive (no explanation from the person in the clip). Is this a transfer case/center differential lock? Ie. rear-wheel drive in the open position, power to rear and front axle in the closed position?
You are selecting Low or High gear range. In low gear, the front-wheel-drive turns on without switching. But you can engage front-wheel drive with the switch in the high-gear range also. You can actually also select neither range also when using the transfer case PTO if that is implemented (for mechanical winch or fire hydrant pump or hydraulic pump).
About the cooling. Check the exhaust so that it isn't constricted in any way, same for the air filter, thats the easy check. Then make sure you run it at 98 octane gas and the correct ignition advance (should be at ~ 10-12 degrees for standard config) adjust accordingly. Of course you should check that the mixture from the carbs are right, if too lean you will have overheatinging problems. If the sparkplugs have the same color as bricks you might have a mixture that is too lean. Use lead additives or change the valve seats to stainless steel. Could be useful to fill up the tank with 10 to 30% alcohol (ethanol!) or E85, if you don't have acess to 98 octane. You have to adjust the amount by +10% until it starts to loose power and the back off by 5% until it runs good again. My old Amazon runs very good, cool and clean on 50% E85 and 50% gas. The old volvo redblocks have no corrison problems with alcohol as the cast contains ample amounts of nickel. But you might have to change the oil more frequently. Use good quality antifreeze to protect the inside of the engine and to increase the boiling point of the water. And make sure that the heater is correctly hooked up to the engine so that it have good circulation at the back of the cylinder head. Common problem when the heater adjustment valve have been damged and replaced with a simple valve. Good luck and good fun.
No, it is not if it is operating the way it should. It has an overpressure system. The most common issue is that somebody has used the windshield washer fluid cap to the coolant fluid. Then it will overheat and boil very easy. The civilian version had a bigger radiator.
I'm not sure who Mr. Yummy is that is accompanying Mr. Regular on this review, but he suddenly makes me want to drive a ice bag enabled old school troop transporter.
I don't think the cooling system was overwhelmed by the US heat. These things were used in by swedish forces in foreign service and participated in the Paris-Dakar rally.
According to the other video the cooling fan is broken by cat-fan blade interaction. Besides, who knows when the system was completely flushed, there may be a bucketful of rust and shit constricting it.
The Dakar trucks had different radiators, the standard rad has very little surface area so is no good in any heat at all. A new rad solves the cooling problem very easily with the standard engine.
is it very similar to a land rover 101 or forward control because it had to do a very similar job, or is it actually a copy built under licence by Vovlo? to be honest I don't remember the LR having portal axles, but I'm prepared to be wrong.
Nice car. Where is the problem to drive it? Never driven a T3 Volkswagen Bus? Same drivers position. But this has a nice 6-cylinder-engine which was used in the 164-sedans as well. Cool sound and enough torque, I think. Unintelligible why the owners do not fix the car (cooling, seats etc.). Maybe they are nerds without understanding cars. Sad.
It´s a Swedish vehicle (Volvo) build and produced for the Swedish military during the cold war. We needed a vehicle that could be a stabile platform that could acting everything from staff to acting as a ambulance and troop transport etc.
come to canada, west coast victoria BC. we'll have you in an old canadian millitary vw, a subaru justy, a choice of BMW, and any thing else you can't get in the good old US of A. we have more skylines (r34's) and every thing else you guys can't import down there, come to canada!
Having ridden in the middle of nowhere in 6 feet snow and mud in a C303, it's a fantastic vehicle. It really goes anywhere.
*Anywhere cold. Not sure it'd do well in sand and/or heat.

+infiltr80r And suddenly my dreams of owning one in Aus are revived.
J.Yossarian
It was used for 20 years by the Malaysian military, basically the hottest place on the planet (adjusted for humidity).
Milton Waddams cause its a Volvo

As a Swede, I'm offended that you didn't insult us in the review yesterday!
haha
put it in "neutral", best Regards your Norwegian friends
cowmilk2010 Hahaha, that's a really good one!
Also included in the manual is the note "я подчиняюсь", nah just kidding ;) Back in the day the Swedes would probably give the Russians a ride for their money

Wow this thing sounds awesome. And it's surprisingly "quiet" for Mid-Engine.
It keeps up better than I thought it would.
I drove the six-wheeled variant TGB13 for 10 months during military service. It was slow, loud, smelly, heavy, and had bad visibility, but I miss it the most of any vehicle I've ever driven.
This looks like so much fun to drive
I'd love to see you review a 4WS 3rd Generation Prelude!
You find the strangest vehicles. It’s really great to see.
I was sleeping so good till my notifications went off... I've never been more happy.
Now I want one, seen some for sale here in Norway
I'd have to go with "the First Time"
lol
Your picture makes me laugh.
This really made me want a mint c303!
My Mercedes runs hot like that. It's only has a 4.2 liter V8, but it pumps out a ton of heat. I'm thinking that hood venting would help me the most with it at this point.
It is possible to put a new modern radiator and solve the cooling issue, I have done this on my 303 and in 32C it runs at 90C all day long.

americans use AKI instead of RON so what you call 98 is 93(95 is 91, 92 is 87)
@@dodecahedron1 Ah. So I learned something "new". Thnx :)
On a note. I do belive that they even suggest 100 RON for the high compression B18-B20.
Try to change the thermostat regarding your cooling trouble, and flush the cooling system.
Please review a Suzuki Samurai!
You did it again Volvo.
Tut tut left the fan on.
when are you gonna do an iroc!
What's the difference between this and a Land Rover Forward Control?
Also called volvo valp in Sweden
Dizzy no its not à Volvo valp. This is a c303 or TGB 11 ( terrängbil 11) = offroad vehicle 11. Volvo valp is an older and smaller verision
You really should try the Soviet MAZ D-535
Nice
I kept bending my head down trying to see out the front window.
More exterior shots, other than that very short quickie at the end, would have been very nice. Oh well.
4 30 and a new rcr. very niiiiice.
i thought it was going to be a massive truck until he stepped out!
RCR's first time
The guy on your right has his watch on his right hand and you have your watch on your left hand. I actually wear my watch on my left hand too.
Saif The New Yorker congratulations
100 C , water is boiling , but it sounds like the regulator for the valve is broken and not opening fully
No, it is not if it is operating the way it should. It has an overpressure system. The most common issue is that somebody has used the windshield washer fluid cap to the coolant fluid. Then it will overheat and boil very easy. The civilian version had a bigger radiator.
Try a Scania if you have one in Murica
sounds like the engine sounds from City Car Driving
Looks like you need the powers of FINK to reverse this thing.
It has a 3 litre straight six right? and portal axles, its pretty cool.
Tad Ficus Catus nope only the 6x6 version hade the straight six. This one hase a 2.0liter 4 cylinder
cool
Millitary. FIST TIME
That vehicle was made the same year I was born.
gotta do old German Mercedes military truck
This is the first one of these videos where I found myself thinkin "holy shit slow down"
It's confidence inspiring
where can I buy this?
But can you Honda shift it into 2nd?
djeez how much play is in the wheel ??? this looks scary to drive at speed.
It's probably recirculating ball steering. It's know for being terribly insensitive.
How did it end up in the US. you dont want to have a collision in these , a guy from my company lost his legs like that
I'm not sure who Mr. Yummy is that is accompanying Mr. Regular on this review, but he suddenly makes me want to drive a ice bag enabled old school troop transporter.
Mike Brewster "Mr Yummy"
I’m from Sweden and i want to drive a Swedish military truck.
wow............................................
Mr Regular drive a Bv206?
How weird is it to be positioned in front of the front wheels instead of just behind them?
Sadpants McGee its not that weird to be honest
cool beans
I want it
Sheeesh drive already.
ha can't because it's a special vehicle
I don't think the cooling system was overwhelmed by the US heat.
These things were used in by swedish forces in foreign service and participated in the Paris-Dakar rally.
100+% humidity, my friend.
According to the other video the cooling fan is broken by cat-fan blade interaction.
Besides, who knows when the system was completely flushed, there may be a bucketful of rust and shit constricting it.
I think there's something very much wrong with the cooling system on that.
The Dakar trucks had different radiators, the standard rad has very little surface area so is no good in any heat at all. A new rad solves the cooling problem very easily with the standard engine.
I bet it is as hot in Sweden in the summer as in New York.
"or the first time" mr regular did a typo!
"Driving a Swedish Millitary Vehicle or the First Time" Mr Regular, you forgot the F in for lol.
is it very similar to a land rover 101 or forward control because it had to do a very similar job, or is it actually a copy built under licence by Vovlo? to be honest I don't remember the LR having portal axles, but I'm prepared to be wrong.
Like an LMTV.
I already had the First Time, so I'll go with Driving a Swedish Military Vehicle on this one.
Have you ever driven with a manual before?
His Honda Fit is a manual and so was his old Toyota Echo.
Nice car. Where is the problem to drive it? Never driven a T3 Volkswagen Bus? Same drivers position. But this has a nice 6-cylinder-engine which was used in the 164-sedans as well. Cool sound and enough torque, I think. Unintelligible why the owners do not fix the car (cooling, seats etc.). Maybe they are nerds without understanding cars. Sad.
nice miata
It's an MX-5.
*Eunos.
⌐_⌐
I read that as ricer miata.
I've never seen someone ask so many questions before driving a vehicle. I'm surprised he didn't ask which way was right and left on the wheel.
because the whole point of this channel is to review and learn about cars?
also this isn't an ordinary car that you can hop in and go. of course he wants to ask questions so he has a better idea of how not to fuck the car up
Is this Matt Farah's million mile Lexus?
+LagParty fat farahs million mile sexist
Matt fara's million mile c303
He seems like a car guy
In sweden we name it the volvo valp . We dont use so much more in te military 😢
Adam Bergqvist nej. Detta är en c303 eller tgb 11 (terrängbil 11) Volvo valp va den tidigare och mindre varianten. Ganska lik men inte alls samma.
So, is it a military vehicle that just happens to be made in Sweden or is it a truck built for the Swedish military?
It´s a Swedish vehicle (Volvo) build and produced for the Swedish military during the cold war. We needed a vehicle that could be a stabile platform that could acting everything from staff to acting as a ambulance and troop transport etc.
Daniel West
So, it was a question of _and_ rather than _or_.
come to canada, west coast victoria BC. we'll have you in an old canadian millitary vw, a subaru justy, a choice of BMW, and any thing else you can't get in the good old US of A. we have more skylines (r34's) and every thing else you guys can't import down there, come to canada!
Look up a video called, how to submit a car to regular car reviews.
of course. 3 am or nothing😪
Title deserve more F content !
In sweden we call these Volvo Valp (volvo puppy)
lol
Nooooo, valpen was tgb 903!!!!
Jajamen! så gör vi hahaha alla som är svnskar skriv!
In Sweden the military is calling it valpen puppy on English
Nope. That was a previous version with B18 this is way bigger with a B30.
You misspelled mate.
I'm so early people are still talking about how early they are
Very much like the Land Rover 101
they should make a modern version of those. and sell it cheap :)
new cars never sell for cheap
And all you need to steal one is a metal paperclip (or you military nametag ;) )
This guy is so stress out he can't even think right .....
there is a typo in the title............
Or?
we know
i am from sweden
its 1 in the mornin tf
HELLO WORLD!
I watched this yesturday wtf
no silly, this includes more 💁🏽 and more of regular cars is always a good thing
Its going to be uhh the uhh when uhh
For* ?
Sweeden has a military wow they have never used it
allidrinkisicecoldbleach its for defending
I lik halo you
for*
Push start the whip.
Regis Riley what?
what a big girl's blouse. Just get in and drive it lol
Military* for*
Early for the first time.
Ok
Mr Regular, you need to add an 'F' to your title my man
All that dry shifting made me cringe. First rule of driving something without power steering, never turn the wheel unless the car is moving.
You wrote for wrong
That little van??? GHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 😭😭😭 Oh yeah definitely carries troops around!
Or the first time
What is this? Reddit 50/50?
Driving a Swedish military vehicle or RCR's first time.
