I’m no car enthusiast, I just like cars from a distance, but this channel really makes me want to give this a shot with a buddy of mine who knows what he’s doing. Wish I could’ve been here during such a project - so interesting! Really excited to see what’s next
So rad Willem! I’ve been watching your film photography channel for years, I’ve learned so much from you! I run an Automotive Import Performance shop in Oregon so it’s cool to see you dabbling in both worlds. Keep it up man, this is great!
why do you know were each and every part goes? I would be so confused. I mean disassembling is easy but actually putting it back together... i would be so lost.. did you just watched a ton of tutorials or how did you deal with the matter? great video!! I am looking forward to some s60r content soon:))
Loving these videos man! I have the same car, a 2005 v70 although I’m having issues with my brakes and sometimes when I brake the car turns off. These vids make me want to do something Similar. This has been the only car I’ve gotten good comments on, owners of it or Volvo enthusiasts always tell me this is a great car and can last a long long time. But yeah super sick to see the process of replacing an engine, really seems like a fun thing to do/learn. Can’t wait to see results
I thought you would have removed the bottom pan of the engine. Great job so far. That is one tight engine bay for a car that size. I thought you were working on a Honda.
Bolts strip! Irwin makes a great set of extractors that I’ve used to pull stripped bolts (both by others and by myself) on my 1985 Mercedes. Works like a charm and definitely faster than an angle grinder.
Love the new series! that t50 is a headache-- I just stripped one on my 06 Focus. Rust + red loctite is no fun-- hard to beat that combo. I also trusted the previous owner saying they replaced the timing belt on my e30 engine but good to be conservative on that interval. Looking forward to the next Verbwerks!
Did u heat the bolt up prior to trying to loosening it? Red loctite is the strongest stuff and supposed to be loosened by heating it up. There still would be quite some resistance, I guess ;-)
This is so Damn Dope! Glad you started this Channel because I like to believe Cameras and Cars go together for sure lol. Love the Volvos btw ! If I didn’t get a Saab a s60r or 2.5T would’ve been on the list
Hey man, first great video. Second kitty litter, saw dust, or oil dry is a great thing to keep around while working on motors. I’ve done a few motor swaps myself and it makes cleaning up those unexpected spills a bit easier. Hope that helps the clean up process go a little smoother.
Hi Willem! Great to see you try something new that you're also passionate about. Your style lends itself really well to these types of videos and I hope there is a little crossover with your film photohraphy (e.g. a few bts b&w photos)! One little piece of feedback: In my case the background music on your videos was a little too loud during some of your talking bits. Might just be my hardware (TV) that is messing up the audio.
At the machine shop I used to work at we had a way to resurface dual mass flywheels, but it came with a waiver of as is since they're really meant to be replaced.
Hey there, smart move on replacing the pcv system and oil cooler prior to install. The are a major pain later. That motor looks like 98 or prior. The thermostat housing has changed since then. There is a hidden torx under the housing that is not a great design. Volvo has used recycled materials. Their torx bolts are nowhere near stress 10. Personally I would never use a power tool to remove or install recycled bolts in an aluminum engine. Just a thought. I hope you can salvage parts off your old engine.
Looks like it has the green injectors, which, if I'm not mistaken, have the highest flow rate. I have a 2000 V70R and it came on my year and I think one or two of the later years as well. The 2000 MY also has the 19T turbo, which I believe is the biggest Volvo put on a car, but I could be wrong.
How many trips to Autozone did you do per day? Lol! This is awesome man. I’ve been slowly dipping my toes in car work with my dad, doing oil changes, differentials, brakes, etc. But this was a bold step!
I bought an 06 XC70 as my first car a few years ago. Love the 5 cylinder engine sound, the looks, the safety and comfort of this car. Had the PCV, timing belts and cam gears replaced as well. Btw just curious on where you buy your parts. I can only get them from volvo dealerships in Canada.
По конструкции этот двигатель не очень хороший: ремень газораспределительного механизма приводит еще и помпу системы охлаждения, и если подшипник помпы развалится, то ремень оборвется и клапаны столкнутся с поршнями.
HI. I have a 1998 V70 XC. A close friend gave it to me with 250k miles and I'm working on it to make it reliable again. Can you say where you sourced your replacement engine? Thanks.
Hey will, how bad has the maintenance / reliability been on your S60R? I've actually been looking into getting a V70R/S60R but just not sure about reliability as it will be my daily driver. Love this new channel cant wait for more uploads!
It hasn’t left me stranded, but they leak oil, have weird electrical issues and I would say the maintenance just requires a lot of attention if you want to drive it a lot
@@wheelemverb hm okay, maybe I'll end up getting an ep3 type r or some kind of Subaru instead (can't say that will be any more reliable though haha). Thanks for the response! I've been a big fan of your photography for a long time and you actually got me into film photography so it's cool to talk to you and find out you're into Volvo's as well : )
Who taught you all the mechanics stuff? Are you a mechanic since living in Belgium and your dad taught you? I can´t believe its all RU-vid Tutorials lol
That bolt was freshly stripped, you either stripped it yourself by using an impact instead of a ratchet, or they tried to remove it and stripped it by using an impact instead of a ratchetthen gave up because it ain't worth the labor. Sheeeeeesh, bolts are so hard to deal with huh? Weld a nut or drill out.
