We owned a 88 740, still love them. You wrench like a pro. I would love to wrench the way you do but doesn’t have a place to wrench. Rather expensive here in The Netherlands. Keep up the good work!

Volvo 740s are very special cars. I've owned my 1990 wagon since 2003, and it's content like this which inspires me to keep it going.

Just last month rescued a 740 survivor wagon from a local boneyard...only real issue was the intank mounted fuel pump had said goodbye, now ive driven the car nearly every day...of course she's not the first. I bought that one - a 1990 744GLE as a 7 year old, and never sold her ❤. Love these old cars, reliability that you cant buy any more.

i love maintenance videos awesome work

Great video. Good to see more Volvo 740. Things like press and lifts are so helpful, but hard to justify as a home mechanic. That’s why I end up paying a professional on many similar jobs. So glad we we don’t have rust like that here.

Med tummen mitt i handen och allmänt oteknisk, är det jätteroligt o intressant att se dina videos. Super 😃👍!

Nice to see your restoration on 740, i am fan of 940.

It would look really good with GLE chrome doorhandles and also the GLE chromelists on the doors! Gives a fresh look.

It's a factory 8V head, they usually have those machining marks/taper on the intake ports

So much love for this old Volvo❤

Du fick mig att bytta motorkuddar och växellådsfäste, bilen går så fantastiskt lugnt nu.

I don't know if it's possible to remember to put the bracket on before the thermostat housing nuts, I've never managed it 😄 Great video

Amazing to see my dream car being kept alive and well :)

Recently found your channel, and loving your content man! I sit and watch with a cup of coffee, learning stuff about cars! Keep it coming

To avoid cross threading the spark plugs - particularly the rear, nearest the bulk head, (which is hard to get at) I normally put copper grease on the plug threads before inserting the other end of the plug - including the insulator, into a small length ( 3 inch) of garden hose - this makes it easier to manipulate the spark plug threads to get the correct alignment (by feel) before screwing in the spark plug until it is 'finger tight' before applying a plug spanner/socket to nip it up fully.

Simply but clever made car, pleasure to see how easy it maintain. I owned for 4 years V70 first gen with B5254T which is base very close to 740/850 and his underhood with this engine more complex for a “relaxed” service :D But i have only pleasant memories of this car.

Älskar denna videoserie och har binge-kollat hela. jag är mycket imponerad av din skicklighet och att du väljer att göra allting 100% rätt och inte tar några genvägar, påminner mig om youtubern M539 Restorations. Väldigt fin bil som jag tycker du bör fortsätta behålla så nära orginalutförande som du kan. Känns som att alla 740 man ser nu för tiden är risiga skrothögar eller pimpade epa-traktorer. Jag tycker du ska skaffa OEM avgassystem, för att behålla looken och ljudnivån. En rak fyra låter ändå inte särskilt fräsigt i min åsikt.

Some good old background music that the Goonzquad also used back in the days, when they used to only do good videos about wrenching on cars. Nice

Good deal of coverage here! Keep Your Turbo World!

Wonderful and very helpful instructions and informations 👍 Thank You Very Much EJO 🌷🇸🇪

This car has never seen a better care :)

Over the course of the past 8 years I have pretty much performed all of the jobs - and much more - on my Canadian assembled '90 740 GLA that you just did in this 35 minute video. Even though mine has 445K kilometers on it it still drives and looks like new and I can confidently drive it knowing that it will get me there and back. (The back part is especially important! Lol) I haven't winter driven it much in the past 15 years, so I don't have quite the amount of corrosion underneath the car that you appear to have which helps when performing jobs in that area. But then again you have a garage and a hoist and I don't! Lol Keep up the good work! :)

Head intake ports are like that from fabric. Good work!

More videos like these mate. Love em. Also, love this car

Great video

RobertDIY or David Bello would know about those headers for sure!

Bro I like your Videos. They are so wonderful to watch. 👍🏻💯

Just found your channel, absolutely loving it, great work 👍🏼

Nicely done

Riktigt bra filmat och mekat! Kvalitén på filmerna har verkligen blivit bättre med tiden, tummen upp! 👍

this is great, great video!

Well done man, i love it. Cheers

Härligt o mojjigt att se att klipp på lite omhändertagande av en svensk klassiker 👍 enda bilar jag åker i. Kör hårt gubben! 👌

Nice video 👍 Alot of work done in only one video.

Делай побольше таких видео и почаще!

I like my new Koni shock absorbers too :)

Great video as always, man. Been looking forward to this one for a while 👌🏻👍🏻

THANKS MAN!

Snyggt jobbat 👍

kul att se någon hålla liv i 740is och inte köra sönder dem 😀bra jobbat, kommer följa detta 🙂

Great video, love the work, but please buy impact sockets. I'd hate to have a normal one shatter and hurt yourself. Auto tech for 20 years I've had it happen a few times. Happy wrenching.

Love the work you do! Not too many old volvos being done here. Maybe ease with the background music..? Wrenching sounds are perfectly fine!

Learned how to drive in a 1985 740 GL. Or maybe I should say drive well enough to pass the driving test 🙂 Since then I have owned two 740 GL, one manual transmission and one automatic. Great cars. Maybe the best Volvo through times if it wouldn't be for the mediocre corrosion resistance. In that sense I would say my 2002 V70 has been much better.

Hello a great video perfect job greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋 Kai 🙏🛠🔊

I cried when I had to get rid of my 740. I jumped for joy when the wife left me. I liked the car more than the wife.

Engine mounts can make a massive difference to the feel and drive of a car.. my Mk1 Golf was like a new car after I replaced mine. My vote is a custom exhaust for the Volvo;-)

Mycket trevlig video👍👍💯😊

Jag har också "använt" Professional Parts reservdelar. Det är verkligen si och så med både passform och kvalite. Köpte ett Fördelarlock, Fördelararm och tändningsablar. Fördelarlocket var för stort och kablarna var lite för långa men passformen mot stiftena var inte den bästa. Men fördelararmen passade fint. Men annars en bra video gör mig sugen att köpa en 740 igen.

Koningen som du gjorde på broms röret är fel tror jag, det skiljer sig från hur den var från början. Se videon

I like this volvo.... Keep on

Can't tell you for sure, but i think the head has been ported. I have a 230gk (so, a 530 head, like the one the F has, IIRC), and i had my head rebuilt when the gasket was being replaced, so my mechanic showed me that the head has these intrusions around the port circumference, which he ground off. I can't tell if that made any difference, since the car already had the VX3 camshaft, and it runs a Lada ECU for around 250 hp on a td04-19 at 0,5 bar.

Grym video

The thumbnail is 🔥🔥🔥 Snyggt mekat! 😁

I guess there weren't any Bosch Super4s available for spark plug replacement. Nine years ago I came across your website with all the Micra tuning bits and I remember you praising them. Since then I try to get them whenever possible

Nice!

To change the flame trap. OK, just take off everything on top of it! Thx, DDay, MAINE

Brukar köra tjärspray eller kopparpasta på bultar i hjulupphängningen särskilt justerabara leder som styrleder osv. Grym video!

Tummen upp, du pratar riktigt bra engelska. Hoppas din kanal växer å blir stor. Du har förstått att engelska är the way to go.

Sjukt bra video! Har du bytt din tankarmatur till en i plast? Hade super gärna sätt en video på när du byter den till en i plast i så fall.

Btw, if you enter '1990 Volvo 740 GL Walkaround' you should be able to view the five short videos that I posted this past February. As you'll see, I don't live in Florida! Lol

No bolts rust like they do on a 740 😋

Hi mate, did the car still have good flow through the old filter? Nice video, we have 240 and 740

Top job my Friend! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻 Are you going to get new wheels for it anytime soon? 😎😉

good luck

Videonya menyenangkan, karena saya jg punya Volvo 740 GLE, tapi sayang sudah diganti dengan karburator

Bought a 89 740 yesterday and the owner said the inline fuel pump isn't getting power, what y'all think it could be? Is it just bad wiring or what

7färs äla aldri fel! 😋

nice

hi ma, good work on the car. at 22:30 u pull of 2 vacuum lines. the bigger one where does it go too ? its missing in my car

Grym video =) kul o se 740n bli finare för varje video

Nice intervention, only one thing: do not spread the images that close the socket with the Socket Wrench because it is VERY DANGEROUS. Thank you

Volvo cars are not on holidays in Sweden! Thanks to their high quality, these cars can be fixed to start a new life, 30 years later. Which carmaker of that time could do better than Volvo in such bad conditions of driving, winter after winter? How long to take off the PCV? Thanks you very much for sharing!

la mayeur voiture de la route

What kind of light did you use at @34:20?

Why didn't you do something about all that rust? Clean and undercoat everything?

Все понятно,дякую.

👍👍🏆

There is something cursed about volvo thermostat housings, on my whiteblock it snapped off the head while i was changing the sensor

Simply painting over the rust won’t fix it as you just saw in the beginning of the video you know 😅😅

Alla orginaltoppar ser ut sådär i insuget 😊

Shocks from Ridex? better keep old ones 🤣

Ser ut som någon försökt porta lite. Inte sett de där tidigare om man inte grejat lite själv

ridex shocks won't last at all

Ты лучший

Vart fick du tag på den där pureest dekalen som satt på bänken? Brukar bara få små när jag köper av dem😊

Are you a German man? If so, your english pronunciation is superb.

Well…. I work in a carpartsstore. 9 years in both store and ”grossist” and i can say that proparts is rly shit. Alot of extra work and the fittment is shit. Good work man!

What is the car lift you are using?

The bushings you replaced in the rear "rod" what is that rod called?

I like your progress, but I don't think it's okay to replace double flares with single flares on brakes

Toppen är original

Jag avstår nu mera Professional parts Sweden pågrund av alla gånger det har varit fel på grejerna man köper där, jag har själv bara köpt 2 grejer därifrån men på dom 2 gångerna så har det alltid varit något fel tyvärr men håller mig till lite dyrare nu för går inte att lita på något annat

i m wondering why such an investisment of time and money in this car Maybe a family car ??? The 740 Bof the 760 oui ; )

JDM = EDM?

is it worth getting coils or should i cut the springs on my 940?

Witch country are u in and have imported that Volvo 744 /from a freindly swede

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌

кто затягивает заднюю тягу на вывешенной машине?

I would like to know that o-ring kit you have
