Can we Save this ABANDONED Volvo 940 Turbo? 

Yeah man!!! 😎

That's great to hear!! Thanks

Let's see 😃 🤞🤞💎

Yes. I cant wait👍😁

Haha, thanks 😃

100% 😎

Back in the 940 club 😃 The underbody is looking good so far but I haven't gone underneath with a screwdriver yet 😬

Nice! I'm really really digging these seats!

Thanks! You can't get bored of these 😃

Thanks team! ❤️

Haha cheers 😎

Nice! I have a hard time choosing between the 2,7 and 9, so that's why I have no money and have all 3 😃

It was about time 😃 Thanks!

Thanks 😃

Oh what a bargain! Congrats 😁

Thank you! They really are wonderful machines!

Haha yeah I really like the black on a 940, didn't think I'd like half leather buts it's actually really nice

It's a great sound isn't it 😍

Haha very nice! Don't see many of those

Oh nice, a sedan? I might have seen this shared on Volvo Dreams? Congrats on the purchase!

Yup, looks like it was shared on there. Thanks! Congrats and good luck with yours!

Thanks! Good luck!

It definitely could be, I should flush it out. Thanks!

Thanks! 😃 Glad you enjoyed it 👌

Thanks! Definitely, cold beers were indeed consumed 😄

@@Involvod 🍺

2.3 as well! I wouldn't have minded if this one was also rotten, I could have put all the stuff in the 240 or 740 😄 Thanks for the tips, can't wait to get started!

Well said! It's a great place to be 😌

That is ultimate stress :D

Haha very cool 😎 Good memories. Thanks I can't wait to get started on it!

Thanks! It's the same here too! Definitely a keeper. I hope you manage to find another one 🙏

I wish they came with lights as well as a gauge, I always worry about not seeing it getting too hot .. but newer cars with only the lights are not nice at all! She's got no plans to learn any time soon, but it would make a good video if she had a go I think, thanks for the inspiration it's gone on the video to do list 😃

Such durable cars aren't they! Thanks

Thanks brother!

Thanks, it's about time 😃 I'm really enjoying the half leather too! I am tempted to put an M90 into this one and put the AW71 into Elsa, but let's see, for now I'm just going to drive it and enjoy it!

Interesting insight on the transmission combo. I have a 740 Turbo AW71 I am trying to revive and dream of swapping it to a stick (work that is currently beyond my capabilities). However, as my daily is a stick, it might just be nice to have another car w/ auto trans around.

@@Involvod As always I am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you! I feel Involvo'd indebted at this point and will join you using another account on Patreon.

@@mailjabber best of both worlds! I just find that the 740 Turbo with the AW71 works better with the turbo/boost vs. having to roll through the gears and ensure you find the sweet spot. That said, I do appreciate an M46 or M47 for what it is.

@@Involvod I goofed and somehow joined via Google. Is there a difference if I join you via Google or via Patreon? Which do you prefer?

Thanks! It's stressful driving a car I do know here 😃

Taste the oil! 😂😂😂 ....that's absolutely hilarious! Didn't get that the first time watching it.

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks bro!

Thanks! Nice work!!

Thanks, I feel like the channel needed it! Appreciate the support! 👍

Thanks 🙂

😅

They are nice I think they suit the turbo cars really well don't they

Yes they do, but while you are fixing the 940 Turbo, you can visualize how the 740 looks with the rims and if you have the luck of getting another set of those rims, it would make it look outstanding

Haha exactly 😃 Thanks!

Thanks Richie! I'm really happy with it too

😅😅😅

Thank you, me too!

Thanks! It's a nice one isn't it, can't wait to get started 😃

Thanks! Yours must have been driven cold for a long time, the thermostat was stuck open on Lili the 240 for a long time I think, especially judging by the extreme piston slap, but still a clean engine luckily

@@Involvod That's good! Yeah mine had snotty black stuff in the oil and it sounded like a diesel too. It's not so bad now, the more I run the car the better it sounds generally.

Super stressful! The heat diverter being the heater control valve? I've definitely seen more outside temp gauges in these than not so far, seemed to be popular here

@@Involvod Yep, there's a valve that controls the flow of engine coolant into the cabin heater. It is located in the engine bay, near the firewall. I've heard they are prone to failure, and mine broke for sure.

@@briangleeson1528 yeah, I broke mine on the 740 after leaning on it 🙄 Half metal, half plastic thing

Thanks ,😃

Ahh just horrible 🙈 Thanks for the suggestion, I can really picture that! Great idea for the next one! 😃

That's part of the reason I was on the look out for a 940 Turbo, it's something we haven't had on the channel yet and I know alot of viewers have one. Thanks for the tip, might be an idea for me to buy a spray for it and give it a clean!

Definitely! It's the 2.3 too, so 165! Really lucky on this one. I can't believe how little rust there is, so so nice after the recent cars.. well you've seen them 😅 Thanks for the tips, I didn't consider that with the battery, I might switch batteries around less often now 😄

I didn't know the LH2.4 had learning algorithms, that's really good to know, thanks.

@@Bassalicious yes, the lh2.4 system has A. a base fuel mapping which is hard coded into an EPROM (electronic programmable read only memory), B. a long term fuel trim which is 'learned' based on lambda sensor input, air mass meter input and engine temp sensor input which is also written in a memory but which gets lost when you disconnect battery voltage. (Hence the relearning thing after the battery has been disconnected) C. a short term fuel trim which is derived from closed loop running. The realtime lambda, engine temp, AMM sensor signals provide the input for that. A. B. and C. ensure that the engine runs good regardless of fuel quality, elevation changes, ambient temperatures. On top of this LH2.4 system the car also has a EZK module that provides the dynamic(!) ignition timing. It uses the crank position sensor and a knock-out sensor as input. It works like a feedback loop. It tries to continually advance the ignition timing until the knock sensor senses knock. Then the EZK pulls out a few (3?) degrees of advance until there is no more knocking after which the loop starts again trying to advance. But the EZK also uses a hardcoded ignition base map in an EPROM Some EZK'S can also be re-mapped for tuning purposes.

@@jfv65 That's some really good info, thanks a lot! I knew about the EZK - pins 18 and 19 even give you an opportunity to offset the base map by -3° to +6° I believe it was. Thinking about it it does makes sense they used volatile memory but I definitely wouldn't have thought to dis- and reconnect the battery after troubleshooting the fuel injection system.

Thanks for the info! Does the LH2.2 have similar memory that can be wiped when you disconnect the battery?

Oh no! Nightmare scenario 😂

Definitely! Thanks 🙂

Me too! 😃

Broken head gasket could be the issue.

Thanks! I think so too, they'd definitely worked out alot of the kinks by this point!

@@Involvod ID there is a broken head gasket, it is a rather easy fix. Just remember to grind cylinderhead plain at a workshop. 😊

Just one of the worse parts of the A303 to break down!

@@davidplaysthepiano It was Easter Weekend as well!

What a nightmare! I used to live a few minutes from there, did enjoy driving around that area I have to say!

They really do! Thanks 🙂

Haha I'm glad you agree 😄

Thanks 😃 Definitely the place to start isn't it

Yes, I saw that video where Derek got into trouble in the automatic car wash. I had a Derek moment myself 5 years ago when my '90 740 GL wouldn't restart in the automatic car wash. I had to get out and push it by hand through the blower/dryer at the end. I could barely move it against the high speed wind that was coming out of that darn thing! I had no choice but to push it out right away because there was a truck coming up behind me! As I was trying to push it I looked up and saw that it was all being captured by their camera surveillance system. Ouch! Lol

Thanks! That's definitely first on the list 🙂

I'm glad you can relate, seems alot of people here can also 😄 Thanks for the tip, auto boxes worry me a bit, but I think there's hope for this one!

Cheers 😃

Those Brummies! 😄 The transport does run well I have to say, with some music in it's really a breeze eh 👌

I hope so 🤞 Thanks, I can't wait to get started!

Thanks, definitely a good place to start! I can't imagine what it would be like to buy a brand new one, I definitely would though!

Yes! ❤️ I might have to get a set of Hydras to complete the look! Thanks 👍

@@Involvod HAIL HYDRA! They will look much better than the stock Dracos. My wagon had Dracos on it when I got it but they make it look much less agressive/sporty. We also have the same interior, at least up front we do. Looks like you have leather in the back. Mine has the cloth checkerboard throughout.

They are! But you can still get a good deal, wishing you good luck with the search!

@@Involvod well it’s going to be hard to find a 940 here in Greece, they are rare. But no worries I have another ace up my sleeve and it’s called 850 2.0 t5!

@@kyriakoshachirokus8982 5 cylinder goodness! 😃

Thanks! Haha 😄 The black and silver is very nice though isn't it

@@Involvod oh yea, made me catch a train in a small town 500 km from me and buy it from a sketchy grandpa and now have constant stupid problems cause its converted to a shitty russian carburettor

@@sna1perlolftw 😂 at least it has a story 😂 Why would they convert it?

@@Involvod because who the hell is going to fix single injection in what is basically a big village(it’s actually a pretty common practice here), it has a lot of crappy russian parts like heater fan and side blinkers lol (that im going to replace) they also broke a lot of plastic interior mounts and replaced it with screws, russia man, “i know a guy who can do it cheaper” kinda stuff, im gonna put injection with ecu on it and fix some bondomobile hackery too, im in too deep into this poor thing but i love it (should stop being lazy and do more than interior work myself)

Yeah I agree! Thanks 🙂

Haha! Just a simple exterior hose off, what could go wrong? 😂 Thanks bro

I actually paid €800!

We are driving down in 3 weeks time

Oh nice! There's so many here but yeah, not easy to buy one, for a sensible price anyway!

Thanks! Nice touches aren't they. I think it's pretty solid, planning to have a good dig around under there this week!

Very nice, not sure I've ever seen bronze 🤔 Thanks 🙂

Thanks, definitely a good idea 🙂

If only there was SOMETHING we could do 🤔🤔🤔

Thanks, hopefully it's just that 🤞

Thanks!

It was still insured, you have to keep the insurance on it or deregister it and remove the number plate, so a bit of a trickier system here!

@@Involvod thanks for the explanation.

Definitely! Me too, it's seems to be a really good one!

I never actually liked the look of the half leathers from pictures, but now I've been up close and personal to a set, that opinion has well and truly changed!

Thanks Comrade! I'm really glad to have the AW71 instead of the ZF22 like in my 740. And thanks for the information, I'm going to flush the system and see how the car behaves with a new thermostat, then go from there 😎

Cheers! I think that's a good starting point for sure!

Haha, absolutely!
