ABANDONED Turbo Diesel Volvo 740 D24t - Will it Run and Drive? 

As a Swede, It is illegal to not restore this beauty

I never knew I needed this guys channel until now what a legend 😂

Very much subscribed and anxiously waiting for more Volvo content.

Great job , waiting for new old starts👍

Great video! Awesome camera angles and your jokes are hilarious! Definitely just subscribed and can't wait for more!

Nice of you training that cat to be a mechanic.

Great videos! Keep up the good work, greetings from Sweden!

Its like a fine wine lmfao. I catch hints of zip ply bias ply, deboss garage and a primary aftertaste of vice grip garage. Then to add the classical music in the background makes it perfect haha

That 740 Turbo diesel is a rare car and now that you have it going .

i also enjoy your videos, very entertaining AND informative. i own -95 850 and -06 ocean race V70 so i consider myself volvo fan. nice humour you put in here and there. very nice, keep it up.

Love it!! Please try to restore it! Awesome vid man

Great video. Love it.

The single greatest RU-vid channel I have ever viewed

Good video. I love will it run videos.

“I’ve been day drinking”………”Let’s get this out on the road!” ;)

hi you are a star you have a following here in England please keep as much infos on our beloved D24s coming

I love those engines. I put a D24TIC in a old tractor 2 years ago.

Thanks for the interesting content! To stand out from other fix'em'up-youtube channels, few suggestions: Finish one project before jumping to another, even temptation to do so is big. Also consider body-mic, it pumps the audio up hugely and makes following much easier (I know it makes one extra step in post-production). Also you obviously have huge amount of detail-info, do share it with viewers. Keep it going!

great comedie and I loved the cat. Invit it more often to your videos.

D24 are kinda rare in america right? pretty cool to see one other then here in europe, looking forward to seeing more just subscribed!

Черт возьми, отличное видео! Обожаю 740 и 760 вольво, своя стилистика кубизма из 80х, правда я больше по вагонам, у меня их три с такой оптикой, привет из России)

The engine looks so goot that im jealous!

D24's just keep going. The door open warning buzzer sound is familiar as i've heard it on many old Volvo buses.

Dude your cat is awsome!

Love that VW Diesel!

cats and d24ts and that’s why I’m subscribing

good video chinch !

Engine sounds great lovely sound

Nothing but love for my Scandinavian friends, but I do not plan on selling any of the front end parts. She needs to stay complete.

Subbed! Don't know how common they are in the US, but if you need starters, the first gen Volvo V70Tdi (D5252T) starter fits bolt on!

the 6 in the 760 stands for trim level and not cylinders. The 6 actually stands for 6 cylinders up to the 200 model series. But in the 700 and 900 series it stands for the upper trim level as you can get a 740 with a 6 cylinder engine and a 760 or even a 780 with a 4 cylinder. Great video over all, I love cars and cats ❤👍😊

As soon as I heard “scenic route” I’m like no don’t do that! “I just got myself stuck”

Just stumbled over this video. Very nice! I’ve had several 740 and 760s with that Volkswagen D24 engine. They’re very popular here in Sweden. What state are you in? I guess they use road salt in the winter. If you decide to scrap it, both the front and rear lights are US-spec and highly sought after here in Sweden/EU.

Classic Music for a Classic Legend :D

Damn, you're a better Vice Grip Garage for me! Keep it up, I want to see you grow and be successful!

Wait till the Swedes like my self catches onto your channel and I believe you will grow quite quickly

CAT IS THE BEST PART OF THIS VIDEO!

This is the dream for a teenager in Sweden to get their hands on.

Nice find, I believe that cluster is from a gasser

What i'd do to have one of these although i am pretty content with my 940 turbobrick too. The 740 with the usa front is just a whole different breed. Theyre just so rare here in finland.

I remember when doing a d24tic starter motor in -27celsius weather 🤣

Do you sell the emblems in the grille and the back?

I can support Volvo "will it runs".

I am the volvo guru, I have 20 D24 engines that all need rebuilt, but can't seem to interest anybody to pay me to rebuild them and convert to Diesel their 240 or 740 to diesel. burning reclaimed veggy oil and getting 40mpg sounds way better than driving a new car.

- on the music. but great videos. but feed the cat xD cant wait to next vid :)

Just subbed! Volvo diesel! 700 series. Uh huh !

another of the "Gotta have the fiddles in the background". Enough to make me turn it off!

to bad you are in the states, those front fenders looks mint, greetings from sweden

thought this was Vice Grip Garage for a second 😉

I am doing a D24 swap into a 740 gas and I realized I don't have the lower engine mounts and the internet isnt helping me much, I was wondering if you could give me a more detailed look at the engine mounts and possibly part numbers if possible?

Proud! Coming from a swede😊

your cat is adorable

6 in 760 is not for 6 cylinders 760 is the luxerious model of the 700 series so take care of that car here in sweden it would be worth around 7-8k$

I hope the timing belt is still intact. That is the one thing people could forget and end that car's life. MercedesSource loves using "Liquimoly Diesel Purge" to get those dirty old mechanical pumps and injectors going their best. I'm sure it is even more important, because who knows how long that rotten fuel has been in the system. 18:42 Well, some engines do need a higher idle speed when cold. Maybe things will change as things warm up. Check all your coolant sensors, switches, and vacuum devices for proper operation. If they don't operate properly, you might have high idle speed even when warm. It could also be because the insides of the fuel system are dirty. The Liquimoly diesel purge procedure for this Volvo would be about the same as a mechanical injection Benz. Mercedessource shows the way. 21:00 Before computerized automatics, diesels had to have an odd means of control. Gasoline engines could always use vacuum to control a mechanical automatic, but diesels couldn't. Sometimes if you have a mechanical injection Benz diesel, and the transmission acts weird, it isn't the transmission. It is the weird vacuum pump operated stuff that controls the mechanical automatic transmission. Sometimes you get lucky and only need to replace some vacuum lines. Also, hook a vacuum gauge to your vacuum pump and see that you are getting the amount of vacuum your service manual calls for. 22:33 Wow, you didn't just give the AT dipstick a check immediately after starting the engine? 24:33 Low brake boost? Maybe another sign the vacuum pump is not working as well as it should, or you have a vacuum leak. I'm not trying to sell mercedessource, I am just mentioning him because he works with 1980s mechanical injection Benz diesels. Although the are some differences, there are probably many similarities. Would a D24T engine ever fit into a VW T3/Vanagon diesel?

Stumbled upon this gem! Keep going! On a note, maybe lose the random music behind the video..? We are perfectly fine with only you talking and tools making noises. 😊

Love the cat 🐈

Too relatable

would you happen to have a usa front for a 740 for sale?

Has scrapped several older volvos for parts. They used to be real cheep here in Sweden

Please get some PPE, would like to see you last longer than the Volvo.

Sweet cat ❤

are you interested in selling the front headlights?

Hey man love ur videos i was wondering if u were intrested of selling the car maybe?

something tells me you are a fan of VGG

Buying that front, headlights

Would you sell me the turbodiesel emblems, and fender chrome?

I love my 940, terrible car. Absolutely hallarious to drive with a welded diff and upped boost pressure

After 20 gas Volvos I now must have one of these.

can you send the front to sweden?

I love this car , I have one 👍👍

it looked like all it needed was fuel.....all the other hacking about was just........err unnecessary hacking. is the transmission the zf4hp22? they are a little weak. i think the later cars had some GM unit, i dont remember

BTW the "0" is representing sedan and "5" (745) representing station wagon.

Is it for sale???

Those headlights are very expensive in sweden ;)

Uh, The approved power steering fluid to use is ATF TYPE F! NEVER use the clear power steering fluid. It will ruin the pump and rack!!!!!!! Ask me how I know, as I have had to replace many power steering units due to OIL CHANGE places using the clear power steering fluid and NOT the approved fluid which is ATF type F !!!

I had the same car some bastard owned it before me and jerry rigged everything to the point there was no saving it so I did the right thing and raced it on our race truck at work with a few other beater cars let's say the volvo went the longest but the d24t ran with temperature pegged almost all the time. One of the biggest problems I faced with the car was fuel system algae it was like tar and it grew fast I ran it off the original tank for while and it would have less and less power then I put a boat tank on the roof cleaned the injection pump out with some crazy chemicals to get the tar out and it ran amazing for while then somehow a trace amount in the injection pump or fuel lines or something it spread to my new tank and that's when I decided to be done with it by this point the head gasket was about gone anyway. I smashed the car up with a excavator after ripping the engine/trans out without unbolting or unhooking anything. I had a naturally aspirated d24 intake (perfect for intercooling) and the title inside the car but now its smashed would be hard to get them out. Mine was also a 4 speed with the push button overdrive

Someone has been watching Vice grip garage

It looks like VW and it is Volkswagen diesel in that Volvo. Those were the days☺

4:30 not a mechanic, but doesn't shouldn't the Cat be installed between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust rather than in the battery compartment?

dude.. been watching vice grip garage much?

760 doesn’t stand for 6 cylinder. Otherwise the 2.3 turbo 4 cylinder 760 would a a 6 cylinder which would’ve been amazing ❤

you should restore a BMW E30 M3 1985-1990

I also want one🥺

what a beuty

You could just sell this car in parts and get thousands of dollars in Sweden. Just the headlights would go for around 700$ in Sweden in that condition

Dont you ever make a video without the C@

Please restore the car !!

a literal money pit lol. all the chrome including fender chrome, plysch seats, TD badge, full colored dash, US Headlights. wow

Well at the starters cut the mozart, then this is more enjoyable to watch. 😂

The cat 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ 😍 🤣

Was looking forward to a volvo diesel video but turned it off as soon as the music was playing whilst he was talking,I don't see the point in doing videos when your trying to talk.

Would you like to sell the headlights and grill? and ship them to sweden? :D

”D24 Säljes, Låga mil, Vevhusar inget och blandar inga vätskor” 🤣

Its normal that d24tic trans is that shitnold zf's but its working just need more rpms

1984?

my old diesel was very crankey, she refused to start if she sat longer 3 days😆

U cant actually say its rusted out

where are your gloves dude? lol your poor hands!

"Will it run" It's an 80's Volvo diesel... yes it ill.

The cat wants foooooood
