I know this video is 2 yrs old. Thank you for taking the time to educate everyone on what to look for in purchasing a used Volvo. I have a 2000 S70, and I know most people do not keep their cars for 16 years. I had to replace my A/C evaporator last year and it was very labor intensive. The entire dash had to be removed. I was able to prolong the inevitable since a mechanic had told me to always keep the fan on, just on low. I had already replaced the A/C compressor years ago. I have 158K miles and I have an "old fashioned" mechanic who is honest. The other issue you need to look at when buying a used Volvo, is the exhaust system. Volvo doesn't sell it in parts, it is all or nothing. My mechanic just welded my catalytic converter but this will be the last time he can do a quick fix. I have a hole developing in my tailpipe and once that is bad, I will have to spend the $1,700 to replace the exhaust system. I've asked around if it would be wise to invest $2,000 into a 16 yr old car and the answer has been yes by most people who know my car and Volvo in general. If I bought another used car, I'd be possibly buying someone else's problems. I researched older model Camry's (a popular car) and found that some people replaced their catalytic converters more than once and the price was slightly less than that of a Volvo. I am not a mechanic and freak out when something goes wrong on my car. I have not replaced many things. 2 yrs ago I replace the original starter. I've had American made truck before this and I can't tell you how many starters, oxygen sensors, alternators, etc. that I replaced. If a Volvo is maintained, it should last up to 400K miles. Lastly, if you read or get a chance to look at a CarFax, it is important to note the number of owners. I'd be hesitant to buy a car with more than 2 owners. A friend purchased a Volvo wagon and at first glance, it appeared to be a great car for little money. It was a bad investment and it had 5 owners. Again, thank you Robert for posting the videos.

If they're aluminium block , you need to have both the head and the block planed. Removing the block and stripping all internet components that is not a 1 day job. Of course any bozo can unbolt the head, scrotbright the surfaces, put a gasket and reassemble in a day, but that gasket won't last.

Thank you for the information. I watched this video just before inspecting a very nice looking volvo 24o that appeared to be in excellent condition that was being sold by a volvo mechanic shop for a out of state customer. There was fresh oil all over the oil pan, bell housing, passenger side of engine and on valve cover. There was pressure blowing out of oil cap. The Volvo mechanic told me that it was suppose to blow out and not suck in and all to do to the pcv system was to clean the flame trap and nothing else. Your information helped me make a decision. Thank you

You're welcome. Red block engines are different, very different. The PCV system is a lot easier to deal with, however they do have an oil trap box that can be cleaned or replaced. Besides that, if you are trying to sell a car, it should not be blowing oil out all over the place. lol

Good deal.

Robert, thanks for all the information. I had a '96 850 for 17 years then the head gasket blew. Loved that car! Now have a '98 V70, wish I knew some of this info before I bought it. But the thing about Volvos, they are built to last like no other car if taken care of properly. It can be expensive if you have to have someone else work on it for you, but the parts last longer than american cars and with proper instruction, there are many things you can do yourself. Keep up the great work, need your clear and concise directions. Thanks again!
