I would pay to hear him read Haynes manuals

We need a bug ninja podcast

We have a winner!

He's terrific no doubt. I have to say maybe too much technology in these volvo's. Living in the northeast i want my car to not be expensive when it breaks down..

YES!!!!

A whole new audio book market just waiting to be tapped. If he made one for my Super Duty I'd buy it.

Ya that guy is a guro

@@neilmurphy845 He is really a good orator

@@keithgale2596 ya he's very good

I wish more sales men knew their products like him an absolute professional for sure

That VOICE! Please sir, narrate me to slumber nightly... :)

Me too! I'm a Volvo geek, and he really knows his stuff! I'd listen to everything I could find from him.

I wonder what vo he drives

phuk You : I have an older XC90 3.2 R-Design

Definitely

Volvo ASMR

Push button shifter is the thing that burns my ass. Stupidest thing ever and now they are all coming that way

Or you can buy an XC90 that's certified by Volvo. For under $4,000 extra, you can add a warranty until the car is 10 years old, with unlimited miles. I'm a rideshare driver, and guess what my next vehicle will be....

@@alexandermartincausey7333 make sure warranty covers commercial use, or make sure they never find out. It's still over complicated unless fancy expensive accessories make you more money. It's gonna break, and when it does, your going to be eating Mr noodles for a bit if it isn't warranty.

@@alexandermartincausey7333 even if repairs are free, downtime costs money. Make damn sure it's going to be reliable before you buy! If I was going to run an SUV I'd run an 2v 4.6 expedition or a 5.3 tahoe

400 HP Turbo and super charged.4 cylinder pulling a 7,000 lb. rig . That drivetrain will be cooked by 100K miles.

Hopefully a buy this, not that for Subaru and Lexus with Adrian (Bug Ninja) and David (Car Wizard).

Way too complex, too may computers, past recent history, high price parts.

Using the Audi model? Run it for three years and dump it.

You are so right, the last good Volvo's was around 1998. The 1980 Volvo's and before were superior to the 90's Volvo's. My last Volvo was a 2000 S80, what a piece of crap, with it's I believe 10 computers. Way over-engineered.

@@markbrayton5391 bull... last mdel v70 classic, 2002 v70n manual, non turbo. Other years are rustbuckets. Now a volvo rustbucket is still a great car compared to other cars of the same age......

@@markbrayton5391 2000 S80 was over-engineered? What are you looking for? Steam cars?

Still a gas car has 100 things more to take care of. Even trying to find small plastic vacuum pipe parts for some obscure VW V6 engine from 2006 is a major headache. None of that in electric.

Most importantly, it's disposable. After 10-15 years, battery need h replacement unless you can live with 50% or less range. Replacing EV battery cost Notre than $30k , intead of typical Toyota Hybrid in $3k or less with recycling program. Li battery is not as recyclable as NiMh.

@@MikaelLevoniemi Yet. Wait 15 years and try to find parts to your old Tesla.

@@rondhole It will be interesting to see what happens to old EVs and their batteries. Batteries are expensive to replace, if possible at all. Makes more sense to buy another car I guess. Then again...how many repairs on a 10 year old 200000 mile gas car makes sense in the end?

@@darkiee69 The original Roadster is 12 years old and apparently still serviceable. If Tesla keeps on doing what they do, they could be around for a long time.

Aaaaaaaand 2 yrs later and even those 7.3s are proving to not be all that reliable...

That kind of tells you that Toyota engine is better built. Meanwhile BMW and Mercedes they slowly into money pit abyss

As I was watching the how expensive the Mercedes was to fix for a simple leak I thought 'this is why I buy Japanese cars'. 200K on my Acura without any leaks and so far 110K on a Mazda.

@Martin Svensson Yes they made Great car's but the newer ones not so much

Just replace it it's still under warranty at this point

Not really. Kinda bland.

Absolutley. Truth!!

Yes but this attitude wouldn't survive on a long term. Humanity already produce more waste that they could recycle it's only a matter of time when this buy & throw away concept will collapse.

@@altergreenhorn yes like everything if it's not done properly or dealt with property and quick it will collapse

@@altergreenhorn that's why I like old cars way more you know exactly how long they'll last

And the manufacturers will be laughing when said young person returns the car at the end of the lease only to find that they had a stupidly small mileage allowance and they now owe a decent amount of money in excess mileage charges!

So my 2008 Corolla had check engine light on. The vacuum line from the anti rollover valve had a broken molded plastic connector. My mechanic said he had to replace the entire fuel tank. Yes as I found out the anti rollover valve is one with the gas tank, and the vacuum line is integral to that valve. $800 for a a gas tank on a 256000 mile Corolla. I fixed with some super glue and epoxy and we’re all set. Will the GL make 256000 miles?

22 years, my man, it was time to move on

Lots of natural-gas power plants to recharge them too. Probably no LNG cars.

I just don't think Wizard is right about electric cars. Sure, the majority of the population doesn't care about what car they drive. They just want the best method of transportation they can get. But car enthusiasts are a big multi billion dollar industry all over the world. The younger generations all want the same things that we wanted. Race cars, lifted trucks, Lamborghinis, etc. No one cares about seeing a Tesla, Everyone loves seeing an old Corvette or muscle car.

I would be shocked and elated if it made it to 100K miles without any major issues!

I have seen many of the Drive-E engines with more than 100k, way more than 100k miles. The ones that have issues are the low miler ones with lots of idle time. That is the same with the whole crop of 2 liter 4 cylinder turbos from most every make.

600 hp 2 ltr 3 cilinder... Koenigsegg....

Not entirely true. The legendary toyota 1jz and 2jz can be tuned to more than 266hp per liter and they don't break after that. Renault has 1.8 liter turbocharger engine with 300 hp, Mercedes 2.0 liter with 421 . And those are normal cars NOT exotic .

@@draganmladenov Funny you should bring up the 1JZ, we had one in a 90 SUpra up until early this year, good engine, weak turbo's. It was a JDM so it only had around 60,000 miles, plus another ten thousand from being here, dad had to change the turbo out, it was pissing oil all over the place. It would have been an expensive job if I didn't find a JDM one on KZfaq, I got it for $275 and spent another $75 for gaskets and O-rings. Those small engines with direct fuel injection and turbos WILL wear out once the car gets over 100,000 miles on them, too much pressure inside the piston, you'll get oil dilution which leads to main bearing failure and the list just goes on.

Ernest Beggle is that guy still around

@@colinashby3775 Yup, still talking about his '94 Celica.

@@ernestbeggle1981 yeah the only thing he knows is Toyota and Honda did you see the poards they do on KZfaq oh there so funny especially stupid heads

@inthepocket Not Mercedes though. :)

@inthepocket Very nice!

when they are $1500 they will be, just like what happened to the ML's You can get one for dirt cheap

What scanner would people recommend for a 2010 E 550 Mercedes Benz

It really helps with rear cargo

Since they have a factory in Alabama, BMW stands for 'Bubba Makes Wheels'!

I always thought it's Brutal Money Waster

Bad money waste

We used to say Break My Window and steal my Balupunkt. It was a common sight to see one with a missing stereo.

It's Broke Man's Wheels

No, those plastic parts are designed to work in very high temperatures inside the engine with hot oil.

I can't imagine that the parts cleaners gets any hotter than the inside of a running engine.

Same here. The Cadillac even looks better

@@organiccold The Caddy does look better. I had a 69 Sedan Deville four door hardtop, white with a white vinyl top, and black cloth interior with leather inserts. That big 472 pumping out 375 horses was no slouch. My friends made fun of it, called her a grandma car. We drag raced around here when I was a kid. Not much else to do in a town of 2200 people at the time. My buddies weren't laughing so much when I beat them in a race. Good times :-)

The American standard for the world.

Linda Nelson lmao no it doesn’t. And you beat someone in a race in a 69 Cadillac? Quit bullshitting, those old cars are slow as dogs

Hopefully, for sure, because the Bug Ninja will help the Car Wizard, do the buy this, not that video for Subaru.

Also, for Lexus as well.

Also, for Lexus as well.

volvo hasn’t had a diesel car in the us since the diesel powered 740 and 240

Very true

Still wont change younger generations mind. They absolutley dont want the hassle of gas engines. At any cost

should be ok since they don't run simultaneously, hopefully lol

They've been out for over 5 years. Apparently quite reliable.... I have the same car but with D5 version with 121 000 km. Can't say its been all trouble-free like my Lexus NX or my mothers RX... but it runs good, average 30mpg (7.5L/100KM).

I have a 2.4T T5 (turbo 5 cylinder) with 240k. Hasn’t been error free but it’s serviceable and has a nice torque curve.

@@Ilikepie18855 not quite. They go through pistons

my TDI VW has a belt driven pump 105,000km and they recommend the pump at the same time. after driving GM cars i was happy to do the pump at the same time as GM water pumps dont last. VW must rebuild the pumps as they credit you the old one

Your first mistake was buying a PT cruiser, period

@@diablocls55 No kidding. It was the first and last one I've ever bought. Got the PT while they were still fairly popular for a cheap price. So it was worth fixing to make a little money. Never got another one and probably never will. VT247

Darn. May be a design defect for that to happen to you guys to

Brown outs here in Arizona and California this year. What will happen when a million electric vehicles or more are being charged every day?

i mean theyve been out for 5 years and thats not been any problems

I would guess a solid no. It's one big Volvo ad this video. If the car is really in there for an exhaust leak while being new I don't think I would waste my money. One other thing is I've been buying the GM Lambda platform "SUV"s. The 3.6 that people loathe (the older ones mostly) are 310/309 base no turbskis or supercharger. Pretty sure Ford has something very similar as well. Naturally aspirated. Shame to see how far Volvo has fallen imho.

In most areas it's illegal to text or hold your mobile phone for a call... Manipulating a touch screen is a completely different situation than sending out texts to your friends or trying to drive with your phone on your shoulder.

@@tim3172 It will take a driver's attention off the road for a damn sight longer if they have to adjust heater/a.c. fan speed by touchscreen (just one example) rather than an intuitive dial control!

BMW=Break my wallet

It's just a stupid gimmick to attract people to buying their fancy new technological advanced cars, and people sre stupid enough to buy them

Cheap manufacturing option, thats also a costly fix

Thats what YOU want. But young people these days wont be bothered with any maintenance. Waste of their time in their eyes

It would've been cool if they had designed all those fuel system components to come out easily. Well, be simpler to take out
