Worst vehicle I ever bought 1993 240 wagon these things are plagued with gremlins

Have been super irritated on my Volvo 240 bc it wouldn’t start. Thanks to this video I pulled fuse no. 4 and 6 and put in some New ones and now it purs like a kitten again. Thx for the video bro

Okay huge question. Do you have a pink and white (check engine) wire? And if so where did you connect it on your cluster? Please respond

I have a Volvo 240 it is good car and but I have that problem

You have some work to do.

Thank you so much

We want to se u fix volvo Amazon combi o duett.....

Reach up under that dash on driver's side, locate the blue box that looks about the same shape and size as the one fuel relay, pull it out and throw it in the glove box. That ding, ding, ding is SO annoying!!!! One of the first things I pull out of all my 240 is that pesky ear sore! Otherwise, GREAT video and love your collection! Thanks for taking the time to make a wonderful video!

Thank you! Just got my first 240 (also a black one) and am having the same problem. I already replaced the fuel relay and it didn't fix the problem and my 4th fuse has no power so I'm gonna try what you did in the video and hopefully it works!🤞

Great channel and looks like it's been around about 3 years now. Always happy to see someone who enjoys the 240 like I do! Thanks for taking the time to even create your fantastic channel!

Dude this is an awesome vid. You did a great job troubleshooting and breaking everything down 💪

Cool car! Your wagon is Glorious!!!

They all have aluminum heads except in 1975 that used the old pushrod B20.

looks pretty clean!

Where year is that car ?

Good video. My father has a Volvo 240 estate and later a 1986 built 740 estate. I drove the 740 and it was a very nice car to drive with great steering lock. The H pattern manual gear stick was made of solid metal and felt like it could last a million miles. Had the 740 for 16 years. The 740 had gotten involved in a slight accident to the front right fender (like your car) even before my father owned it. Unfortunately this meant that there was some water ingress and eventually, over 16 years later, the accumulated water in the base of the chassis rusted away a lot of the thickness of the solid metal floor. The car eventually failed it's British ministry of transport MOT annual test because of this. Being 22 years old. The mechanic who performed the inspection said that he was very surprised, as Volvo cars are so solidly built. If it wasn't for that accident that caused the water ingress, then that car might still be around today. It was a reliable car.

Gonna screen Record and view this video offline since my 4g is bad

Viktor is a 1991 245 and when I turn the key sometimes the fuel pumps don't come on. I ran this procedure and pumps came on and he started? Any help is appreciated.

Mine doesn’t spin

I went looking online for 240s this summer. I believe that almost all of them were over $10.000.

Want to thank you for this video I took my 87 240 dl to a mechanic and they said it was the gas pump And it was replaced. But two days later the same happened it wouldn’t start. I went through all your tests and yes it was the fuse. It wasn’t burnt out but the fuse holder was all corroded inside. So I replaced it with the exact parts you mentioned in your video and what do you know it started with hesitation😅. Many thanks for your great videos !!

dont you ever delete this video! 🫡🫡😎

Nice car. Some small problems. The fan is an issue though, but there are some cornerings to be cut there. If you know your Volvos...

@2:59 There are $900 cars with working ACs, bruh. 😉 The really expensive stuff is bodywork AFAIK.

Awesome tutorial 👌 👍 👏

This video just saved me! Thank you very much. My 240 wouldn't start - it's been very rainy - no fuel pump whine/priming on ignition. It was looking like a failing fuel pump relay, but none of the ones I've got fixed it. The fuse wasn't gone, but the connections were all badly corroded.

Great video! You just have to love these old volvos. I just picked up a 92 one owner wagon, and have the same problem with it. My other 240 has the fuse under the hood, but darn if I can find it's location in the 92 wagon.

Awesome tutorial

Your diagnosis was very smart and methodical. Well done!

Looks great. Compared to many of the rost wrecks here in Sweden.

Ok

Beautiful!

Great video JP. If you are still videoing, a review video of your other Volvo cars it would be very interesting. Superb examples 🙂

Did you fill the transmission with ATF Dexron 2 / 3? Any other and the transmission is blown. ZF is the "not the best" tramsmission. AW 71 is the one you want to have.

I inherited my mother's 1989 244 DL Volvo in August, 2010, she was the second owner, and the car was well serviced & maintained. BUT, once I moved away from the San Francisco Bay Area to a rural county in Northern California, the Volvo has required deep monetary pockets to main under the hood as well as the exterior--- car was repainted 9/2013...yes, my 244 Volvo looks quite handsome, it hums, 259K miles today, automatic with over drive (7) Volvos later.. trying to locate 2006 Volvo S60, my daughter is 5'10" and definitely needs more leg room. Happy Volvo parts hunting ...have had to buy parts from as far away as Portland, Oregon and South Carolina.

Not worry...just change The oil and flush it..... I hade same problem as u describe...

So I did watch the video and I thank you it really help . The 87 Volvo I have has been cut and rewired . We found a bad and broken connection and a blown fuse.

This is awesome! Wagon. Defo the wagon for videos. How you going to mod it? Exhaust?

Ha ha ha Scotty Kilmer style garage. ha ha ha .

In Sweden, it's very hard to find a 240 in that condition for 900 dollars.

Thank you for this video. My '91 wagon wouldn't start after a night out with friends so now I have to go do this fix with my car parked downtown haha.

Ready to buy!

Awesome tutorial

Hope you’ll make a new video soon

There is an “L” shaped metal tube (‘93) It goes under the steel edge plate on one side. The other side sits against the black lever on the back of the odometer. Rear Dif . speed sensor cable?

Lovely 240, just bought a 93 2.3 estate, I'm selling my 2010 focus rs because I'm sick of cleaning it! Put a 3x2 accross your garage door and run 2 pies of wood up to the ramps 👍💪😎

did you figure it out? having simmilar issues
