Man I can't thank you enough for this video! Curious would you know what could be making my 86 240 DL Wagon with the auto and non turbo so very under powered. I know it's supposed to be slow but doesn't seem right. Ive replace spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, o2 sensor and checked the fuses and relays. Do you think it could be related to the exhaust? I'm gonna check the throttle body soon.

do you need to Jack the front up to adjust the steering box?

You want another V8I have a really nice 12 1005 Is salatia reasonable price

Hi David. Could you please share the paint code?

Just bought an Amazon and plan to strip in a couple of months (moving into new workshop at the moment) think your vids will be great help. Thanks in advance.

Check the driver side footwell BEFORE you do this, my headlight relay in my 1990 was down there, learned the hard way.

I have a 92 525it and my shade on my dual sun roof has become disconnected on the front panel…. Any ideas how to get reattached?

Born sweed And I love the way he modified that Volvo 242

Jesus Christ this looks nightmare for me... have to go trought this hell very soon. can''t live without music in car.

I would have sold it and buy another one

Nice! I have a wagon. Love how you put overdrive in it. I'm looking for advice as to opening the rear door (it's stuck - won't release). I plan to get at it from the inside and try to find the release which apparently isn't working from turning the handle.

👍🏻

Magnifique mr Bello --- grand merci!

Just brilliant . Who knew there was such a thing

Just wonderful, thanks for sharing ❤

Volvo diesel...lauft wie ein Tank.....

Beautiful scenery, lovely car, great presenter and Crocketts theme . I am hooked

Hi i would like to ask if you can take a picture of the front bumper. I need to know how i will install the bottom bumper grill. What fasteners i need. Thank you.

Thanks - I have this carb on my boat with a Volvo penta aq125a, which is the same block (B21) as a Volvo 200 series.

Wow, Colorpulse? Been so long since I've heard them. Thanks for that

flame trap on pcv system gets clogged , can cause running issues and too much internal pressure and can blow out seals , keep it clean

Your new car will be useless in 10 yrs

Very helpful video. I'm trying to set up twin Weber DFVs on a TR6. Balancing two carbs and distributor advance can be a bit of a challenge.

Do you know the part number for the VOLVO emblem you put on the tailgate? Thank you.

How easy is it to work on a 240 for someone who knows a thing or two about Volkswagens but not exactly a mechanic here. Had a horrible experience with a ‘97 850 stick shift back in ‘06 and now decades later I’m thinking about getting a ‘90-‘93 240 DL or GL sedan. Any thoughts…… anyone…..? Buehler……. Buehler…….

240’s are abundant on the West coast but nowadays not so much on the East coast. How much can someone expect to pay for an ‘89-‘93 DL or GL sedan in an OK condition?

This makes me happy

After many trial and error attempts to fix my light challenges (not being aware of the extra relais in my 1993) your video has been a great help. I now just need to find the right light switch. the one I ordered has got less connectors and now I cannot just run the small bulbs. It's all on or all off. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video!

Great video! My only suggestion would be to disconnect your battery whenever messing with wiring!

Finding one in good shape honestly seems impossible. Most people who sell them have let them sort of fall apart before finally letting them go. I've been shopping for years and nothing comes up. I keep hoping for one to come up.

Your sound cuts out at 2min until 2:27

No mention of the nivomat system suspension expensive!!

1:05 I use kids bed mats to help with this they're big enough to catch any oil droplets being blown around but make sure to put rocks or something on the corners or it could make things worse.

SUVs are NOT safer in most cases! This goes for drivers, passengers, other vehicles' drivers and passengers, and pedestrians! This is because of several reasons. First, SUVs are categorized as light trucks, meaning they don't have to pass as strict of safety standards, because the original purpose of a light truck was utility, not to be the family vehicle for a family, and not the daily driver for 1 person. Second, their larger weight which is higher up makes SUVs easier to roll over, and rollovers are the most lethal kind of accident. Third, their tall bumpers reduce visibility and make collisions with pedestrians (which are now harder to see, __especially__ for children) more lethal because of where the impact is happening. On a car with a short bumper, it can do serious damage to a pedestrians legs but injury to the torso is less likely because it isn't being directly Impacted, but instead more gradually accelerated through the legs first. They are knocked onto the hood of the car sliding some, which is much easier for the body to deal with. The tall bumper hits people directly in the chest or in the waist, which is a harsher impact and much more abrupt. They are knocked onto the ground, directly in the path of where the SUV is traveling. SUVs make a lot more money for auto manufacturers because they generally don't have to meet the same safety and emission standards. In fact, the larger the area between the wheels of the car, the lower the emissions regulations. Which explains a lot about the size of modern vehicles. These vehicles do have legitimate uses but those uses are not as daily drivers.

Tar. all benzin and diesel oilfuels will do this if not moving over years

Funny that so many people claim that they have a 123GT. The numbers do not ad up folks

Just found this channel and project. Watching from the beginning… but hoping as it goes forward, you removed those US dive board bumpers!

In the beginning and near the end of the video there is about 3 minuts with no sound?

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!!

1989 volvo 244 dl; would the ACV also cause the car to shut down during idle or when you first pump gas after being idle?

What happened with the car? I came back to this video a year later, and I haven't seen any updates on it. Did you sell it again or what happened?

you cant compare webers to su's. just because you failed on the webers as everybody does, it doesnt mean chüosing su's is as just as bad of a choice. they are far more reliable and adjustable. and have no temperature strip and whatsoever

Another good J-type rebuild video can be found at Elin Yakov’s Rusty Beauties channel. He goes into a lot of detail but is good at keeping it simple too. Thanks for posting this video…👍

Hi David! Amazing Video! I love these old Volvo's! I was hoping you could help me figure something out with my 1970 Volvo 145s I am restoring. My hot start valve appears to be broken (missing rod ). Can you bypass the valve and run the hoses from the air box and gas tank to a safe location? I also noticed my carb closest to the firewall is overflowing through the hose in the air box; stuck float? Any help is appreciated, I work on outboards but these are complicated.
