Starting a Volvo 740 after sitting for 5 years (1st Person View)

[@Bassalicious]

That's just the best description of an old Volvo. Change the battery, massage the starter and she'll drive right out of her grave on her own. What a beast, love it. =)

[@mibbarn]

Nice! Love from Sweden.

[@stewartcontent8727]

Not gonna lie, wearing headphones while listening to that volvo start idling is actual eargasm.

[@Skogsgroen]

That's crazy! I mean I'm not surprised that it started, myself have learned almost everything I know from my Volvo 940 because except stuff is hard to get loose after they have rusted shut the actual car itself is pretty easy to fix and learn from. But the feeling seeing a car that has been standing outside for so long all covered in algea just start up so easily, that's an amazing feeling! Well done!

[@xl83]

thanks man, definitely felt pretty good when it started up.

[@zlinko662]

VOLVO NEVER DIES!!!!

[@VanilloOfficialYoutube]

So nice to see a old swedish car start up again:)

[@C0VQ4]

i would drive that daily for sure !! i miss my 1987 740 GLE :(

[@ronnyfranzen4573]

Nice man. I just started driving my 740 turbo intercooler after standing still for 4 years. They never die 👌✌

[@klappskalle8834]

Diesel?

[@Сергей-ч7м6ц]

Yes !!!

[@RobertHarr1son]

I love how you have the entire trunk ready for war. I own an 850 t5 and I know what it's like

[@xl83]

i guess all of us driving older cars with dwindling spare parts supply chains can relate to the hoarding of used spare parts in our trunks and sheds ;)

[@jamespiper8736]

I cannot express how my much I love my 760 and the 940 I had before that. Absolutely superb cars. This is yet another example of just why they are so special. Great video cheers

[@diablocls55]

Volvos never die! I finally got my 850 running again after 2 years of sitting, it had some lifter tick for awhile but smoothed out after about 20 minutes of idling. I’ve had so many other cars that have come and gone since the day I bought my 850 when I was 16 but have refused to ever sell or scrap the 850 because I’m sentimentally attached to it I guess. I had so many good times in that car and it was fun car for myself at the time and wasn’t slow by any means. I parked it 2 years ago when I was 18 after I was having bad transmission problems but the engine itself was fine. Has just over 200k on it. I’m 20 now and was pretty proud of myself when I got it started after tinkering with it for a few days. It’s a great car if you’re just learning to work on cars like me too. I did not drive it yet, but will tomorrow and not very far as the transmission starts acting up as soon as it warms up after 30 minutes. Will be taking it for a drive around my block and then will replace the transmission when the weather warms up. Great thing about these cars is there are so many DIY step by step guides online and on KZbin as well

[@Ahmed_Kasem]

I have a Volvo 740 GLE like your car model 1989 and it is still working I love it very much

[@AndreiAndrei-rt4po]

Nice! 👍🏻 Volvo's never die! 🙂

[@kimchong74]

[@Zixxyz]

As someone who talks like they are making a KZbin video 100% of the time they are working on a car I am very amazed at how silent and efficiently you work while filming for a KZbin video

[@Smoerrebroed]

Don't know much about cars except the basics about how an engine works and it's funny that just hitting things with a hammer is a good solution sometimes

[@kaisyaya8492]

That's why electric cars is the future, the industry can't afford making cars that lasts 30 years + and travel 1 million kilometres with minimum maintenance. You have buy a new one every 10 years max or buy a new battery + motor that costs 80% of vehicle.

[@xl83]

sad but true

[@TekkenBones]

Yes, the whole world has changed now, the idea of having any product designed to last a long time is very old fashioned now. That is why I love Volvos, because they were designed to be extremely comfortable, safe, and many are lasting far longer than originally anticipated.

[@LimpBizki]

My 740 from 1988 had been sitting for 3 years and started exactly as yours

[@Pandolcee]

Indestructible, started up like it never even sat for 5 years

[@Motor_O_Mer]

KNOCK KNOCK time to wake up Mr Starter :)

I found this super compelling. I’m going to resurrect an old 240 this week. Can’t wait.

[@xl83]

good luck!

[@chriscraftguy]

Doing that as we speak. A '92 GL. Just about there.

[@dwdesign2873]

such a beauty brick

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

And now comes the fun part of replacing all gaskets, rubber components, bushings, bearings, lights, fix the electricity, clean it, fix the doors and interior and then you have a good old volvo. Would probably be better off just changing the engine on it though and maybe give the gearbox a good look.

[@usernaame316]

that was beautiful to watch. it's alive!!!!!! haha nice car, man

[@newton5651]

The most gigging video i ever seen since January ! Love from an 850

Это Вольво, что сказать, у меня была 245 / 2.0 л карбюратор - 1979 года и 740 GLE - 1986 года / 2.3 л инжектор, обе очень нравились и ехали всегда, когда мне было надо, Вольво - моя любовь навсегда. )

Great car. The only flaw is that it lacks the ”button 5” transmission 😀

I ,over these cars,,its sad to see them like this but of course they usually will live on

[@chrismaclean3108]

Love my 740. Same model. I have new brakes but my ABS system in front is going have to be fixed. Like it's not engaging unless I step on break petal 2twice. And abs light comes on and battery light too sometimes. Need advice.

[@Archived.Account-z3c]

I own a Volvo 740GL 1989 Sedan Beige and I have a same issue on ABS. Sometimes the ABS lights turns on when I accerate. But ABS light off, sometimes the braking system shakes when the car stops but it doesn't do that all the time! My local Volvo Masons tried to fix it but the problem remain the same. I have to get use to it and there is no danger! All braking pads changed and no issue on my Volvo 740GL! :)

[@gaithshalan]

Wow man 🤩😳 crazy

[@nikke3D]

Nice edit :D // Sweden!

[@apollokidvolvo4820]

I suggest to turn the crankshaft by hand with a wrench before starting the engine if it has not been used for many years.

[@rainerrauser9030]

Love it. Although it didn't surprise me much. These cars are so reliable. I own 2 of them! How about a vid about pressure washing this car?

[@xl83]

actually i did pressure wash it before a guy bought it and drove it away. might edit and upload that when i find the time.
