How My Epic Road Trip To Santa Ended In Disaster!!

- If you've been watching the series on my $600 Volvo 850 T-5 Wagon, you know how many problems I've had in the restoration process. This car sat in a field for years and was completely destroyed by rodents. But after re-wiring the engine bay, replacing two CV axles, changing the fluids, and replacing the timing belt... it's time for a roadtrip!! Or is it??
In this video I will attempt to drive the car 2 hours south to Santa's Workshop. I say attempt because everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Enjoy!!

On an Automatic Volvo, the shift light flashing means there is a problem with the transmission. The most common problems are a bad shift solenoid or bad PNP switch
This was a complete disaster. Was a great time!
Stress and frustration must have been palpable!
Jaguars used to have this stalling issue, and it was the crankshaft sensor. Don't give up Mike, it is free content for you. You don't need to buy a car.
That indicator means transmission fault. Shift solenoids are a common fault on these. The lockup solenoid as well. The PNP (park neutral position/transmission range) switch is common as well. It looks like yours is gonna be solenoid faults because the engine is stalling from the incorrect gear ratio or torque converter clutch sticking. You can use a scanner to verify correct position and see which solenoid should be energized. You wouldn't be doing anything wrong if you just threw the solenoids at it, they're a common problem.
Love this video. 😂😂😂😂 You must by a Volvo like 3000 miles from home. bring Randy and drive it home. Would be epic. Hello from Bergen,Norway Mike. 😊😊😊😊😊
Yeah He Could Buy Mine ... That would make for an awesome video
Mike, I had a similar issue on my 97 850R. It would stall and had the flashing arrow on the dash for the transmission. When I read the codes the only thing that came up was a crank position sensor. I changed that with an OE sensor and haven't had the issue since. My car acted up worse when it was warm. Good luck with it!
Volvo's last a long time because you never stop fixing them.
my volvo has taught me more about working on cars than any other car ive owned lol .. i do love it tho
I had a 2001 Volvo s60 beat the hell out of it never left me stranded and never had to fix it I ended up trading it for a Toyota
I’ve never had a problem with my Volvo 940 wagon 2,3l turbo never left me stranded or anything 500k km on it right now
@@Holmbergihergi1 2.4T in my 2001 V70 and just around 370,000km. I’ve been catching up to differed maintainance on it. Oil leaks, power steering leaks, failing brake booster, window regulators .. rough shifts in the transmission and occasional stalling 😂 it’s a real event …. My Volvo sits in my driveway with a base ball bat at night demanding more of my time and money hahaha. But I’m enjoying the challenge
@@Austin-ge7cb I always drove Toyotas and on some level I feel the Volvo is just as dependable - every time I turn the key, it does what I ask. But it fails in a much more dramatic style than any Toyota ever did hahaha. Big learning curve going from a Corolla that’s for sure
On previous generations of Volvos, that arrow normally meant that the transmission overdrive relay had failed, causing it to get stuck in third gear, at least at highway speeds. Happened to me a couple of times on a 740. In that case, it simply involved pulling the old one and replacing it with a functional one, accessible in the dash relay and fuse panel. Your wagon, though closely related, is quite different , however. Assuming it's still a transmission problem. I'm guessing an internal one. Let's see if I'm right as the video progresses
Mike, Maybe you should try channeling a Lexus!
I’ve read that this arrow indicates a problem with the transmission, said it could be a transmission PNP switch aka neutral safety switch that can be cleaned or replaced.
Awesome video and love your sense of humor with all the problems. I guess it's true might as well laugh because crying isn't going to help...😅😅
A regular customer at the "You Pull'em" for Mercedes parts, my neighbors with Volvos always had a list of "if you happen to see one of these while at the junk yard".
It will take more money to restore but worth it. Once the paint is done and it's fully sorted you should still get close to $10k out of it. These things are getting rare and in high demand, even the wagon version.
I remember them Volvo's everywhere at a point Mike, dont see none anymore man hardly see Volvo's at all realy now!. 👌✨👌👍👍👍
Hellow guys good luck hope yall make it back be safe buddy's
The rpms seam very high when you was at 65.
Kept dropping out of overdrive due to the bad solenoid. Flooring it just flooded the thing. Kept wanting to tell Mike to keep it in third LOL.
Gotta be something electronic. Crank position sensor or maybe intermittent power to ECM?
Hail Mary Nabisco Cookies 🍪😅
Great videos
Loyal viewer from Canada 🇨🇦
Me too 😊 Montreal
Great video and friends😀
Put An LS engine in it!, would be a cool Wagon!
Is even better the second time around.
Volvo for life
Wow just wow. I love seeing Santa on your own channel because you two seem to be getting along! Keep it up Mike this was a funny but interesting video!
Had a 05 volvo xc90 fuel pump Regulator die, and it did what that is doing.. uses a ford FPM
I'd leave that crab on the side of the road with a signed title and trike on!
🤣VOLVO = Very Odd Looking Vehicular Object
volvo. good for rear diff d44, & rotors,calipers. the breaking system is like modern abs.. at least there more comfort than a vw bug..
Got my VOLVO 165 in 1977 . 4 speed & overdrive transmission , airconditon , power stearing , full leather interior & now close to 500K miles with 1 engine & transmission ; stay away from frontwheel powered Volvos . The only real good volvos are still the old rearwheel powered ones !
Hey you should fix it at randys shop it can be the throtebody
Volvo ... You either love em or Hate em. I'm not sure how I feel about mine though, sigh... Mine has been kicking my wallet's butt lately... Great video as always...
P.S.I had Purge Valve issues with mine today.
Ah Mike..I feel for you. That dashboard would drive my OCD mad. I have a 07 XC70 with 180k on the clocks and so far she’s been a good-un..the AWD is fragile as glass but overall a solid car. I think maybe the sitting time on yours has let a lot of things corrode out. Don’t give up on the channel though, you’re my favourite YTer! Crack a beer and put some Jarreau on 🎉
Hey Mike sounds like the Volvo needs to be in a junkyard
I had a t-5, had it for 5-6 years, i put air filter in it twice and put gas in it. Never had any other problem.
Fuel pump
Michael, I don't know if you should paint that car. I think you should really not need to find you a good truck in a good car and get rid of all your Hoopes. I still say it all the time when you and Randy get together. And Santa, you guys are hilarious, hilarious. Yes, love. It can't wait to watch you guys on power tour
Trucks are boring, thst is why we watch him buy cars like mercedes and volvos and so on 😂
I like your videos. Sorry about the Volvo. Keep trying to save cars. I have a truck I need to get back to driving.
Hugs mike
Hi 👋 Monkey Wrench Mike !!!
I just became a new subscriber to your channel.
After watching you and Randy with his Monte Carlo when it broke down because of the transmission. I hope you guys made it to the auto show.
I'll be watching your videos Mike.
Take care and keep up the great work.
2500@70mph seems a touch high
The red arrow is overdrive off , fuel pressure is most likely the reason it’s cutting out , fuel pump ?
Wrong
It's probably something real simple like a sensor or bad gas or maybe the driver .
Not sure about the shift issues but its acts like my car did once the Catalytic Converter started to seize up, couldn't go faster than 15 mph and then it would shutdown. After it cooled, it would run fine until it got hot again.
Car dies, turn it back on and drive it to it dies again.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
Thanks for always entertaining Mike!
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
Intermittent electrical failure is possibly the main battery fusible link has a hairline crack. Sometimes difficult to see but would cause the warning lights to intermittently glow and lose all power.
My parents had a red 4door Volvo an there car did that an it was one of the solenoids was all it was so hopefully yours is simple an thx for the videos
This tremor in the car is double the clutch 🙂
.... for shure the lack of maintenance / service
Nice to see Jesus ☺️
The Volvo got tired of you griping about it so it quit on you. Lol
My Volvo has been a challenge, learning the mindset behind the engineering. That said, drive my 05/2.5t,187k, daily
Doesn't seem like you're getting any boost, either. I think you're having multiple issues
Stuck on side of Turner Turnpike.😮
To add insult to injury Randy's Volvo was cheaper, easier to fix and cleaned up nicely.
Computer problems buddy , cheers 🍻
check the alternator it has a loose connection. Your issue is electrical.
It looks like you need a new engine and transmission thats why the car Is buckling😮
Ecu connections mine did it I gave up water was my issue lol
Cliffhanger finale is Mike driving it off a cliff.
Idle air, fuel pump, filter possibly clogged
Is not getting gas all the time too!!
Well now. We know why Mike was sick when he was working on the monte later that night. Breathing all that crap from the headliner.
Crank shaft sensor after getting hot
Start with reading the fault codes.
Maybe you should have left the volvo in the field where you found it?
Could be a random clog in the fuel pump or the throttle body
There is plenty of these volvo's still driving down the roads here, it just needs that fix hehe. If you could just read out codes with laptop or phone.
I had a 850 did the same was the traction control module
The computer is probably starting to fail, mine is!
Use the trike to tow it
This reminds me of how much trouble Randy’s pizza delivery car was giving him.

Me thinks we get a little salty when we break down don’t we!
I know I do!
that’s the “stop at the nearest chapel” light
Mike, how much is the trike??? No, not the Volvo, the blue trike??? FYI, there will be a Mass for the Volvo this weekend, Jesus would like to his wagon back…….
Ignition coil pack
Transmission needs to shift! Something wrong with transmission or wiring problem?
Tent the windows
Limp mode? Throttle body needs cleaning
This is y i always carry tools with me should have just disconnect the battery and waited 15 mins. Then reconnect the battery. It would have reset the computer
Maybe I missed it but why are you painting this bucket and not parking it?
why not put it in neutral started and go on.
Hey Mike...how much for the Volvo ?
Is it really worth a quart of paint ???
fuel related problem
Are you sure you are not driving a Harly Davidson Station Wagon?
Exercisum?
👋😃👍
Mike buy American you will have better luck
So which was worse: the Volvo or the Escalade?
Normally. Randy should have followed u. Not be in front smh. I work at a car dealership its like really? But love ur vids
Well, at least you had alternate transportation in the back.
Volvos look beautiful in the driveway you need a chevy
Could it be, you have a broken arrow?...
❤🥰👍🤘
We have smooth roads in the Netherlands we pay taxes for our infrastructure I bed Belgium is the same as the USA or Oklahoma or different states Belgium is terrible haha
kinda. is. acting like a wire harness is rubbing and shorting out on the engine . I would be under the hood looking at and pulling and shaking the engine harness to try and get it to act up . or the engine computer is acting up when it gets hot .
Mike, i'm sorry, but your luck with cars really sucks 😂 Randy gets a Volvo and it works like a dream, you buy a Volvo and it works like a nightmare 😂. But hey, I guess at least it gives you good content.
Still very interested in Janis.....how much is selling price today!!!! Would you be interested in trading for a BMW Z4?
Well can you leave there with Santa? I think it time to let it go 🤬. Just go work on Janice?
No offense but when you buy these vehicles for $500-$1000 what are you really expecting out of them?
02 Chrysler PT cruiser seven years ago and it’s still going strong and the AC works $550,04 BMW 745i 8 years + Still going
