World's Easiest HEATER CORE Change *FREE Volvo XC90* 

Love those ads, “ it JUST needs a new xxxxxx “ Like it’s so easy to do and it’s a running and driving car!! Lol

Crown Victoria heater core really isn't that bad

@@unclejoe6811 The heater core itself is not bad. Doing the heater core on an 87 Grand Marquis that had one hidden bolt that was not in the Haynes manual too 30 hours!

@@michaeltutty1540 I had an '88 Grand Marquis Colony Park and feel this pain in my bones. 😂😂😭😭😭

@@unclejoe6811 u have to take the whole dash apart

Working on it 😂

@@WatchJRGo trade up to that Bugatti before Whistlin gets it

@@clevelandmaker386 nah, John. Forget about that Bugatti. That title is branded for destruction, the last time I heard about it.

@@WatchJRGo No problem... Johnson and Johnson started from "scratch".

He is “The most interesting man in the world.”

Yup! I had a 90 1/2 ton Dodge van, liyerally the easiest heater core ever.

Ford Expedition is 16hrs. Console, dash, and column get pulled, and AC has to be recovered. Complete nightmare.

I thought my Volvo 240 was bad. Heater core can be done in the backyard in 7 hours or so.

Same for a Silverado pickup. Seems the entire vehicle is built around it.

Same for grand marquis

I wonder if the newer Volvos are still designed that way. I would guess no.

Bet it’s dash out

@@TempshoI have a 2013 and it’s still the same process. Don’t know about post 2014 models though.

Great tip totally forgot about that!

Or spray

Next on watch Jr Go. Watch me rip this o-ring.. :)

Exactly what I was thinking while watching him shove it together, I don't believe he lubed them. Never mind the nasty jokes.

Usually parts like this get harder to replace in later models, but I had to remove the whole dash on when I did a ‘74 240.

You can tell the difference if you actually inspect the heater core first the access panels are super simple to open and look.

The heater core is cake... the other parts 😡

Yep I did a 68 mustang heater core when I was a teen and repaired a blend door cable! It was so simple back then.

Wrong. On old cars it's far, far easier to replace. I have a '81 Ford Taunus and, to replace the heater core, all you have to do is remove the hoses clamps and the cover screws and pull it out. It couldn't be easier.

Usually the heater core is not an issue. But those o-rings will start leaking.

@@Gizmo42Rodeo that’s good hopefully I won’t have a problem with it. I’m just not looking forward to doing the one in my f150 that is really going to suck.

Everything is more difficult on V's. Just the cabin air filters on V50 and V60 are harder than this.

It helps to disconnect the steering shaft underneath. One bolt extra to do

They only stopped the 5cyl around 2015, and they still made in Sweden for most countries , Geely did what Tata did for JLR, gave them money and let them go on there way.

OMG that's frigging hilarious. God I love that! Well done sir!

Easiest headlight bulbs I’ve ever replaced 🎉

Mustangs where similar. open glovebox, remove cover plate, remove heater core. replace and have a beer.

Close enough

There is no such thing as German or Swedish , every car are made of a million parts from all over the world

Mahle is a German based parts manufacturer.

Yeah FCP Groton changed their name to FCP Euro and they moved from Groton to Milford, CT.

@@andrewkorman7646 Thanks for the update. Good to know it's the same company and they are just as good or probably better.

@@generationscomputersystems not only is it the same company, but they've since instituted a lifetime warranty on everything they sell. Literally. Even wear parts like brake pads. Wear 'em out, buy another set, and send back the old ones for a full refund. Net cost of replacement = $0 (minus shipping of course, but that'll still be the cheapest brake job ever). Same goes for fluids. Free oil changes? Yep! Free filters? Yep! Wiper blades? Check! (except for things that can't be put back into their original container, like aerosols, or car-care products that are consumed as a function of their use, like waxes, etc). There's really not many exceptions. But let's say you're doing a Haldex fluid and filter change... that qualifies! If you own a euro vehicle, you'd be absolutely stupid not to take advantage of their warranty to bring the cost of maintenance down to nearly nothing (and the fact that they only sell quality stuff, not off-brand crap like a lot of other places (cough, 1AAuto, ahem!)

Can't go wrong with Milwaukee. DeWalt and Makita make good stuff too. They're all fairly close price wise and power wise. Anymore it's less about the actual brand of the tool, and more about battery loyalty... The batteries for everything are so freaking pricey, so most people buy their first tool kit from whatever particular brand and then stick with that brand for their future purchases since they can now just buy the bare tools without battery and charger and save a fair bit. Whatever brand you pick it's definitely a "buy once cry once" type deal, as in just bite the bullet and buy a "good" one up front instead of buying 2 or 3 cheap ones and spending more in the long run. A "stubby" 3/8 or 1/2 inch from any of the major brands would be a good place to start. I have a Milwaukee M12 stubby 3/8, literally the same thing JR is using in this video. Using a small 2.0ah flush fit battery it gets into pretty much everywhere, I've had standard size 1/4 inch impact drivers in the past that were literally twice the size of it and they made probably 1/10 the power. I use this tool literally 75% of the time. If overall compactness isn't a concern for the current job then I can use larger 4.0ah and 6.0ah batteries on it for more kick. A good second impact to get would be a 3/8 or 1/2 inch "mid torque" from any of the major brands. They're larger then the stubbies but they pack quite a bit more punch. Good for blasting through crusty suspension hardware or stubborn lug nuts. I have a 3/8 Milwaukee M18 mid torque that I reach for if my stubby isn't up to the task. If you encounter anything that the mid torque can't handle then it's time for a 1/2 inch "high torque". A Milwaukee 2767 is my weapon of choice. Usually just having it sitting there in plain sight is enough to make most fasteners behave for either of my 3/8s impacts. If the high torque won't break it loose then it just breaks it off... If you happen to have a Home Depot store near you it's actually a good time to pick up and impact or 2 or 3. They're running extended Black Friday sales on most stuff all ready. Got some really good deals on Milwaukee and DeWalt stuff. Sockets uncommon or not just depends on what you're working on. I just use my regular chrome 3/8s and 1/4 inch sockets on my smaller impacts, they don't make enough grunt to send a regular socket scattering in a million pieces across the garage so I never bothered investing in impact sockets for 3/8s or smaller. I do have a full set of 1/2 inch SAE and metric sockets in shallow and deep well for the big impact. A set of axle nut sockets is good to have in 1/2 inch as well. Ive never spent the big bucks on impact sockets myself, whatever is on the shelve at Harbor Freight has always gotten the job done for me as far as sockets go.

Same for literally every Ford truck built before 1997. Undo the little latch so the glovebox door can swing all the down, then take a look through the gapping hole in the dash where the glovebox door use to be and there's the heater core..

Oh I bet he will. He still hasn't learned his lesson buying Garbage. Old Volvo are gold. Just like bmw. New stuff and I mean new as in 2000 and up is just trash

His dad has been on the channel. He seems like a really really smart guy who could tackle just about anything you put in front of him and do it with professionalism.

@@InsideOfMyOwnMind Thanks !! I'll have to go back and try to find them !

This is a good place to start: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EiqvW9Mcy_U.html

Thanks for sending me that !

Cause they are butt hurt about people fixing cars and keeping them on the road instead of treating them like disposable items and buying a new one every time something happens. That is why they make things as difficult and expensive as possible
