you are so lucky to have found this car. I hope one day I can find a barn find like it

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Thank you so much Ian. She has been in the family so it was nice to spend some time putting her back into running condition!

@nboy7 3 года назад

The sound of this thing, unreal. I miss my old T5 :(

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Thank you! Yeah they do sound very good at idle and full chat!

@gavinhassett479 3 года назад

Ahhhh , that chime when you turn the key. So many memories. Great, great, cars

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Haha that's right! It honestly is just so perfect. I hate so say they don't make them like they used to but they really don't!

@EmilBMWable 3 года назад

You can really hear the lifters tick. No surprise after sixteen years of standing. But what a beautiful 850R. Looks to be mint

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Absolutely! I'm sure it scares a few people but totally normally with a Volvo. Still so surprised she ran with basically just a stage 0 zero tune up.

@gavinhassett479 3 года назад

You might consider eplacing the rubber coolant hoses to the heater core and heater core manifold at the fire wall. O rings will harden and fail leaking coolant... other wise possibly drop the oil pan to replace the Orings for the oil pump pick up.

This car is in absolutely beautiful condition. I have a 97 850R wagon in the same color, and the paint has definitely seen better days. I've owned it for a few years now, and I still look back at it every time I park it somewhere. Volvo really outdid themselves with the styling of these cars.

@arthur850_ 2 года назад

Nice man! Like to see your 850R running without any trouble! The knocking in the first minute of when it runs will probably be the hydraulic lifters. This car is ready for some happy km's! I also have a 850 but just a normal 2.0 T5. I enjoy it everyday!

@EazyDoor 5 месяцев назад

I still daily my 850 10V. Slow, but sooo comfortable. Recently had the PCV serviced. Great gas milage for a car this old, too.

@Taz6688 3 года назад

This must have been kept in a museum, I have never see such a clean car after being stored for that time, no corrosion at all even the alloy parts have not got crusty, aux belt looks good for that length of time, really nice condition.

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Thank you Taz! Well funnily enough i tried to contact Volvo a few years to see if they wanted to have it their museum but they declined haha!

@philiprowney 3 года назад

I won't worry too much about my 96 wagon starting now. I guess I'll get it a new battery in spring and get on with the repairs. [ parked under a willow tree in a boat yard for 3 years and used as 'parts shed', rusty sunroof 'bucket' and perforations in the roof around the s/r. So much scrubbing of the rear carpets too! ] Great short.

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Absolutely Philip. These cars are tanks and super tough. I saw some other guy start one that has been sitting OUTSIDE for 15 years. I was lucky mine was parked inside. I wish I filmed the first wash and some of the initial maintenance jobs!

@SkillCap 3 года назад

woooooo boy, look at that paint. she fresh

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Hahaha I think the camera is playing tricks. This single stage paint is pretty horrendous when it comes to oxidisation but I'm currently compounding her with some Menzerna and the difference is amazing! I'll try and post a video too!

@oscaricles8013 3 года назад

Had several of these over the years still quick even by todays standards and better than the chocolate cars! Only prob with these 5 cycl engines if they're tuned too far they bend the conrods like a dog leg! But still love them and would love to find one and keep it for weekend uses etc.

The car looks remarkably good after sitting for so long.

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Thanks Gray. It does. She was maintained well before parking her in the garage here which is pretty well secluded from the elements. The paint was very pink but it doesn't come through so well in the video. I did a full detail after this which took a few days. I have some footage I'll put up.

@volvo850xx 2 года назад

Hey! I just noticed something: your windscreen wipers are mounted incorrectly. The wiper on the passengerside is actually for the drivers side, the one on the drivers side is for the passenger side. Great video, I love the 850. :)

Add some Liqu Molly additive for the valves. MoS02 or the additive for hydraulic lifters.

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

I'll have a look at that! Thanks for the tip!

Did I hear the door click/pop when you opened the door? Might need to check the door check and have it replaced. They like to break and bind up. Don’t want to crack the welds.

Godamn man.. great find.. looks dealer fresh.! I would have taken off intake tube and make sure the turbo compressor spins nicely by hand... had one the other day and it seized up a-bit from sitting.That original 850R exhaust tip?

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Thank you! I did replace the turbo intake hose with a Samco hose as I still had a spare one. To be honest I did not spin the turbo! Maybe I should have. No, the exhaust is custom which was done back in 2003 at a local performance muffler shop.

@NicLovin22 3 года назад

awesome video! So was this your car that just sat or did you buy it from someone after sitting so long? Either way, beautiful R mate! Hopefully more videos coming from it!

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

Thank you! My family has owned it since 1997 when it was purchased in the US. It was then imported back to Europe and I drove it until 2004 and it has been in storage ever since.

Hi Carlo. Thank you for subscribing to the the channel! I'll post an exhaust video so you can see what it looks and sounds like. It is a custom straight through cat back exhaust with a relatively small muffler.

Perfect! My 850 has been sitting for 7 years before I bought it. Slowly bringing it to where I want her to be. One of the issues I ran into - the new good quality silicone tubing. Yours seem great. Care to send me in the right direction where I could purchase those?

No problem Alexander! These are Samco hoses. There is a Turbo and Coolant kit that provides you with all you need. Really good quality.

@BNEdynamics 3 года назад

I'd drop that tank and give it a good and thorough cleaning. If it was parked with gas in it, there will be lots of residue that's just waiting to take out your fuel pump.

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

To be honest the fuel looked fine. A bit yellow but not too bad.

@BNEdynamics 3 года назад

@@projectpetrol5828 it's not the liquid you need to worry about. It's the stuff that's already evaporated and the residue that it leaves behind.

@TR850 3 года назад

So you were the owner throughout the entire time, right? You did not just find the car recently? I had mine sitting for 3,5 years when I worked in the US. Started up no problem, but as I put it into storage in the middle of winter abd it had been driven in snow and salt, unfortunately lots of chassis parts, bolts etc, showed a lot of corrosion. Your must be automatic, as it seems to have the „normal“ brown injectors, right?

@projectpetrol5828 3 года назад

We have been second owners since 1997. Yeah it's a US spec 4 speed Auto. Sorry to hear about your car and the corrosion. Do you think it will be fixable?

@TR850 3 года назад

@@projectpetrol5828 Yes, no problem, all exchangeable parts and the body is in great shape still. After my return from the US to Europe I just had a Volvo dealer go over everything for 5 or 6k and all was good again. I think that is still fairly reasonable cost after 15 years of ownership.
