    No shit talk about a Torslandatraktor, please. This is the best car ever made. The apex of petrol car evolution. The epitomy of motorized transport. The...
    Trust me - I have fippled with a load of cars. My 245 ('Waggon') '93 is carefully maintained and brings me joy, aswell as everyone else. First words: Not for sale!

      My mechanic got defensive when I quoted someone's opinion about Volvo making car with a blower motor built in the center of everything and reminded me that it's not bad design, it's just old (the blower motor died the day the car turned 31 years old). And I agree with him. The blower motor on these cars lasts longer than newly manufactured cars will last as a vehicle. As a lady, I didn't really dig the crude therminology in this video either. But girls don't work on cars right? Lol. Cheers love your comment.

    Watched your video and fixed my problem in 30 seconds. The main vacuum line wasn't connected to the engine! I never noticed it but now defrost, recirculate, and floor air work perfectly. Thank you.

    I've got a '93 244 and a 1974 standard Beetle. I think I found my new favorite RUclips page.

      I had a ‘69 Beetle along with an ‘ 88 240 and ‘93 240 Classic wagon.
      I traded the VW for an ‘82 240 2 door a month ago.

    Nice job! I found a bank of vacuum solenoid valves mounted on a pcb under the passenger side dash in my 2000 buick, each and every solenoid coil soldered to the pcb had begun to break the cheesy thin solder joints. 10 minute session with a roll of rosin core 60/40 on the bench and everything was good as new!

      Choose your problems haha leaky or finicky vacuum systems or finicky electrical haha. I enjoy the anxiety of both types in my life

    My 92 244 has a vacuum leak in the climate control system. It sounds like it is right behind the buttons; there is just a constant hiss nomatter which button you press. All of the blend doors open and close as they should though, and I am lazy, so I just have not done anything with it yet. Whenever I do, all of the little bulbs that light that area up need to be replaced as well, and I am sure other things will pop up (part of why I never want to do anything, one thing turns into 10 on these cars.)
