@@ElliottAlvis Elliott - you should have used OEM Volvo plugs. I had NGKs in my R and developed a bad misfire at WOT. OEM plugs are the only way to go...
These are my favorite kinds of projects. A practical car, a labor of love, and a whole lot of great information. I'm looking forward to this whole series!
I love hoovie and his content but im glad he let this one slip, no offense to hoovie but if it isnt a thumbnail magnet it just get tossed to the back, much like the mustang, merc, the blue ferrari, etc
I'm probably not the first and certainly not the last to share these initials: 1) IPD 2) FCP 3) VIDA 4) DICE (and while your at it: Swedespeed, Matthews, Dave Barton...).
You did the right thing. Once the timing belt is done, she will be a rocket ship. The Police at the time loved driving these. Maybe fix the paint and she will last as long as you service her regularly.
Also if the car has an extra amount of torque steer there’s a good chance your AWD system isn’t working. If it spins badly in first to the point where traction control kicks in than there’s a really good chance the AWD system isn’t working.
@@ElliottAlvis Also do the water pump since it's right there. Fairly cheap and you wont have to worry about it down the road. Edit: NM looks like you addressed this during the 15:37 mark, only advice I can give is not waste money on a dealership and go to a reputable independent shop.
You probably were amazed by how there is ZERO corrosion under the car. I was surprised as well coming from a Subaru where the entire car was made from rust. I would go ahead and replace transmission torque mount too, takes about 5 minutes or less to replace just like the fuel filter. And glad your pcv looks great for now, otherwise it's a gigantic pain in the peter
Excellent video, great quality and very interesting topic in this vid. I thank Hoovie for sending me over here. Cant wait for more videoes, greetings from Norway :)
I’m shocked you’re not having it diagnosed by the car ninja. From one Fast Volvo owner you another, nice car! I also recommend a tune from Hilton. They can really unlock some power for you.
I’ve replaced a V70r cabin filter in my family’s V70r and man that took me like a couple hours. Actually it was the cabin filter and fan motor for the cabin.
Volvo is great about any issues that come up with their cars, my 02 v70 2.4 (na/auto) had the fuel pump issue and it was resolved for free even though it is a nearly 20 year old car now. Gotta love shaggin wagons.
Elliott over here trying to give us a heart attack with the whole ATF. What a sound coming from that wagon~ It’s definitely a keeper, haha! Good luck with the timing belt service~ looking forward to more wagon content
My dad always had Volvos and still has his 2003 V70 T5 - not the R sadly. But even today the pull and sound of the straight-5 is just lovely. Just love this V70 generation.
Volvo is the only dealer I'd take my car to, because I've taken my volvos there before, and they never tried to sell me stuff I didn't need. They only sold me things that compromised the safety of the safest vehicles on the road. I've been very pleased with our local dealer. Keep up the awesome work, best KS youtuber
Elliott, I couldn't be happier for you and your Volvo! What a woken up Spaceball. The front wheel drive Volvos do have rather large turning circles, while their prior rear wheel drive cars had incredibly tight turning circles.
@@ElliottAlvis Awesome mate.. Don't you forget to was the engine compartment. You done that upon the tune up Usually That's the very 1st thing I does when I get acquired a used volvo. You should release the video with the other details when you were charged the oils 🛢 underneath the vehicle.. We need to learn more about them.
My dad has had one of these since it was brand new, he did european delivery. At 140k miles he had a misfire and coolant loss diagnosed to be a cracked cylinder bore, and it turns out it's very common in these cars. He put a used motor in and the same exact thing happened to it a little while later. The solution is to bore all of the cylinders out and install an aftermarket sleeve which fixes that issue, but then the transmission WILL fail as his has twice now. But, he loves it enough where he's going to keep fixing it because it's such a great road trip car.
My mate had a 2001 V70R and I can confirm it was fast and comfy. Towing a 2850lbs trailer was no problem at all. I live in Norway and we have plenty of mountains and steep hills, and it just pulled and pulled. I did love that car. He sadly sold it a bit later. It had factory Laser Blue paint which was lovely. BTW, after next fuel filter change, just turn on the ignition, and the pump should fill the system and cut off when it reaches the correct pressure. Saves the hassle of make it fire after cranking for a while. Myself I own a 04' V40 as a cheap roundabout.
I was holding my breath same as you when you were trying to start it back up after the fuel filter swap. Glad these tune ups went smoothly and made a noticeable difference in how the car drives! You gonna tell the dealer that is has been sitting in a field for three years? I'm sure they will love hearing it :'D
This was great Elliot! Yeah the 5 cylinders often have a high rev on cold start for about 20-30 seconds lol. The noises are soooo familar lol. She is a beauty and can’t wait to see the progress.
I love the v70r but I kinda wish you had taken that opportunity on magiver too... either way keep up the great content and I'm excited to see where this volvo goes
My dad has a passion red v70r with awd, 6 speed manual space all, 300 horsepower, turbo, third row seats, and same color blue interior as yours. He bought it for $4000 and it was in really good condition compared to yours. Here’s a tip, when buying standard v70 parts for it, never tell the person you are buying from that your car is an R. They will charge you more.
Make sure you run premium fuel in it. I had an 07 XC90 and would run ok on regular but ended up burning up the catalytic converters with the VERY mild misfire it created. Awesome car though!
I own an 850R wagon (855) and S60R. Your vehicle is on the newer half of Volvo's glory days (IMHO) and a heck of a find. And we used to run Mobile1 fully synthetic or Royal Purple. Oil is a MUCH bigger issue for turbo bearings than the block. Also, the stock rods HATE low-end torque, don't get too aggressive below 2500 RPM, and don't be afraid to rev it up high. 8000 RPM rev limiter was common. Most failures seemed to be bending rods at low RPM, or running too lean at high RPM and cooking things. And the tribal knowledge back in the day was that copper plugs got you a better spark than iridium. People would run copper NGK and change every 10k miles or so. And make sure that your timing belt is good these are interference engines. It's not too bad to do yourself, but given the stakes nothing wrong with the dealer. And be prepared to replace or bypass your heater core. Question of when, not if. Beautiful wagon!
@@ElliottAlvis Yessir, you deserve it! I've made a few cringe-worthy, amateur-quality car videos, but you've inspired me to get some better equipment and keep making some [hopefully better] content!
Really enjoyable video! Way more interesting then Z4! And btw you are quite handy! Btw what does your wife thinks about the car? Did the insurance finally come around with Z4?
Still going back and forth with insurance about the Z4. And my wife thinks the Volvo is “ugly”. I’m hoping she changes her mind once she rides in it lol
Many of us that have worked on a lot of Volvos don't recommend NGK iridium plugs. I wouldn't pull them out but if you start to see any misfires put in oem Volvo plugs or just a good set of coppers. Loving these videos.
Always put some dielectric grease on the insulators of the spark plugs. It allows the plug socket to release when you are removing the socket from the new plug.
I am a HUGE wagon fan and i am loving the Volvo. I have to say you seem much more comfortable in front of the camera and way less awkward. I mean no disrespect by that.
You can get the gromet for the shifter from home depot but its black or people 3d print them and you should get a swedesource filter you will hear and feel the gains
I'm here from seeing you last week on Hoofties channel, and I gotta say I much prefer your presentation style and format and the way you follow through with a car showing it's progress.
Nice vr! If you want to go with a nice aftermarket air intake, I would go with a swedsource filter. It has the most performance increase for an intake plus they look super nice.
I've owned fast BMW's since I got my licence. Me and my wife just got a new baby, so I bought a 2010 Volvo V70 D5, tuned it and put on some better suspension, my god Volvo knows how to make engines! :) Loving the videos man
I’ve taken the hood blanket off and I take the sleeve off the air filter. You will hear your turbo much better! Unfortunately they don’t paint the bottom of the hood so it will be silver. For me my R is silver so it matches.
I had a 2004 V70R with 6 speed manual. An independent shop did the timing belt/water pump service (with a water pump that fit and was "recommended" for the V70R). However, less than 10k miles later that water pump seized. Long story short, there is one and only one company's water pump that should be used with the 300hp 2.5l. It was 5+ years ago and I can't find my notes on which pump but (after the failure) it was easy to find info on IPD or other resources. Another note, if you get the rear facing seats from a 2001-07 V70 or XC70 (with seat belts and C pillar covers and possible trunk foot well), you have a 7 seat sleeper (a la Mercedes wagon). Mine had it as dealer installed option. Besides the one and only water pump, there is one and only shocks with the 4C suspension made by Monroe. They list for > $250 per. Amazing car! Yours (2005-07) has the nicer center console with "roll top desk" cover over the cup holders. I am keeping the stick shift AWD wagon spirit alive with a 2019 VW Golf Alltrack SEL with 6 speed manual (it is no V70R though). The radio with center speakers is amazing, mine had an aftermarket (small) subwoofer and DICE bluetooth module. All these cars were built in Belgium (I believe).

Dude, the deal of a lifetime! Thanks!
Jeah, its a very good deal, because even in Europe its impossible to find this kind of V70R for that amount of money, they cost a fortune in here.
Such a beautiful volvo, glad to see it went to someone caring!
Thank you!
As a V70R owner I recommend you to use OEM spark plugs only. Car runs with those way better. And also change oil in angle gear and Haldex.
Running good after a tune up. It's amazing what catching up on a little deferred maintenance can do for your car.
It really is amazing! I couldn’t believe how much it woke the car up.
Welcome to the Volvo family. Cheers from Sweden!
Thanks! You guys make a heck of an automobile!
Next time we want to see the other Swedish brand: SAAB, choose an Aero model.
You did the right thing. Once the timing belt is done, she will be a rocket ship. The Police at the time loved driving these. Maybe fix the paint and she will last as long as you service her regularly.

The turning radius can be improved, remove the pinion limiters and add wheel spacers and you're good to go.
It improved but still terrible. The worse part of these cars is the turning radius.
@@jaredmonk5328 ... having never owned one, if that's the worse thing, then great car.
I've got a non-R non-wagon one of these and.. well, basically you're correct, but the turning radius really is *heinous*.

I am so jealous of your score with that V70R, as a fellow Volvo AWD sleeper wagon owner, I would give someone else's left arm for a manual.
You need to change oil in the awd haldex system and gearbox.
