Volvo 850 Restoration - Start it Up - Day 5
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 ноя 2020
- We changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, gasoline and the battery on the Volvo 850, to try to start it up for the first time in seven years. She really needed some maintenance!
- Project’s Background Story -
On February 21 ’09 our dad bought this ’96 Volvo 850 2.5L 20V estate.
He always maintained the car accordingly and had many parts replaced. Luckily, the full documentation is still with the car and only a month before passing away in December ‘11 he put on the winter tires himself.
The Volvo has a big emotional value for me personally as I drove it with him on his final journey. Seeing the car sitting still for so many years and watching nature taking over broke my heart.
Now after nine years I finally got my hands on the car and brought it back to it's home where me and my youngest brother will restore it to its former glory and make our old man proud.
We intend to make a road trip once it is restored and keep it in the family for as long as we can.
- General Information -
We intend to document the whole restoration for ourselves, for people close to us so they can follow our progression and for other people interested in restoring cars or specifically a Volvo 850.
We are new to shooting video’s and editing so please bear with us while we learn!

My 1995 850 wagon was in the shop for 14 years on a lift. After we pulled it down I acid washed the tank, replaced the fuel pump, injectors and fuel filter and it started right up. It’s been running fine now for 2 years. I’ve owned it since new.
The 850's got a steel tank on them as never had a 850 only Phase 1 V70's and they plastic with steel straps...
I was always taught to connect the live on a battery, then the negative to stop arcing.
I always pre fill the new oil filter with new oil to speed up oil circulation on start, to stop metal grinding for the first few engine revolutions as the filter fills.
Absolutely right about connecting the positive side first on the battery. Mistakes happen I guess😅 we'll pay more attention the next time😊
I was tought filling the oil filter does not really matter as there is still oil left in the engine. It does make sense though. Might as well do that the next time. Thanks 🙂
It really doesn't matter. If it's going to arc, it will regardless of which side is connected first.
pre filling the filter is recommended against in most manuals because of introducing a higher risk of contamination of particulates to the engine, lies maybe; but its recomended against
Congratulations on the initiative with the car and the documentation of the restoration
Smooth running!!!👍 Great engine!!👌🙂
Hi. Nice! In my V70 1997, before I start the engine, I have to wait until the SRS light switches off.
It's so interesting. Cheer up!
We are very excited! But you are right that we might not show that enough in our video's so thats something we need to address :)
Volvo power 🇸🇪💪🇸🇪!!
Leuk om zien vanuit Canada, picking one up next week, neglected in need of some sweet lovin. Helpful en toepasselijk!
Groeten
Nice to hear someone in Canada likes what we're doing and good luck with your own 850! If there is anything we can help you with, please let us know ;) we're very interested in your 850 aswell so hopefully we can see some pictures or videos of it in the near future :)
@@MusTRitch Turned out the car was way too far gone. Did not take it, mold, Rats had been under the hood, parked for over ten years. Too much to list which also discouraged me. Sticking to my two 240 wagons for now
What a disappointment but completely understandable. Rats under hood will no doubt have caused to many electrical issues. But owning 2 240's ain't no bad deal at all :)
Nice car, I bought myself the same one, I'm restoring it. Good luck with your work!
Thanks, and the best of luck with your own restoration!
klinkt mooi net ingelopen zo te horen :)
I had one, and it was often the relay to the fuel pump :P ALOT of times
Nice videos, tho i think vaccum cleaning the air filter box before putting the new filter in would be a good idea.
You are right. The excitement got the better of us. We made some more little mistakes like connecting the positive side to the battery first😅
Goed bezig mannen!
Jazekers, dankje!
I just looked at one of these an awd wagon and wouod start and stall right away swapped fuel pump relay and ran fine. Relay box was full of water and relay was corroded. They left the hood partially popped for a year and hood is what seals around fuse/relay box.
Noticed after this is na not the turbo model. I was referring to a 98 xc70. Had the 2.4 lpt turbo 190hp.
Why do Dutch people always love Volvo's? Greetings from your southern neighbour.
Lol, good question. Maybe it has something to do with Volvo taking over the passenger car division from DAF in 1975, and therefore we feel some kind of "dutch" connection with Volvo. Other than that, I have no idea 🤪
I could be wrong, but most of the 850’s were produced in Belgium :)
Had to look that up and they were indeed manufactured in Belgium🙂
👍👍✨✨
Nice video, but you but the wrong oil. The old volvo's wish 10w40 oil. All other things are top. 👌
This is really interesting! How about an update?
Thanks, and we're glad you like our project!
Due to back problems I had to undergo surgery but I'm working hard to recover so expect more video's in the coming months :)
@@MusTRitch I wish you a speedy recovery!
Thanks!
Leuk mannen! Als jullie nog vragen hebben over de 850, dan hoor ik ze graag!
Hey, dankje! Wanneer we vragen hebben zullen we die zeker stellen :) Uiteraard als er vragen aan ons zijn dan horen wij het ook graag!
@@MusTRitch komt goed man!
Now go ahead and put in a 960 throttle body plate as soon as you can find one. Enjoy the extra response!
I looked it up and it seems like an easy and well worth it upgrade. We added it on our upgrades list, thanks!
@@MusTRitch No problem! I waited way too many years before installing my own. When you take out the original from the 850 you will notice a thick plastic semi circle that was added by manufacture. Possibly to tame the reponse for it's initial "target audience" back in the 1990's. My wagon is a 5 speed manual and it did make a small but well noticed difference.(along with new exhaust)
Yeah, I noticed that thick plastic thing. Maybe the reason for it is indeed the target audience at the time but still I wonder why... lol.
Good to hear you also drive a 5 speed manual and may I ask, is it a 20v 2.5?
And again, thanks for the advice and interest in our project. Much apriciated!
Did it on My V70 T5 P80 and it went from shit of a shovel to F**king shit off a shovel.😂😂😂
Can I ask you something, what is it that you brush on the spark plug and what is it for?
Hey, we put copper grease on the spark plugs so it's easier to remove them in the future.
@@MusTRitch I liked the recommendation
Where is all the CNG? gas parts that was fitted to this car.
The tank. is missing. a lot of extra wires in the back and the extra holes on the intake.
It was removed when our brother imported it into belgium. We plan to remove every trace of the lpg system because we won't put it back.
Это не рестоврация, а обычное Т,О. Машина просто грязная, что там реставрировать?
С языка снял)
Niet kapot te krijgen die dingen
Onverwoestbaar inderdaad!
Only 400 000 kilometers, almost brand new!
Haha, you are totally right! He should be able to drive us around for many more years to come after we finish the restoration ;)
@@MusTRitch Check rod bearings, my 410.000Km T5 Aut 300euro had rod bearings in bad condition. Looking the engine oil that 850 had best days years ago.
Will definitely check those, thanks for that!
The engine oil was 7 years old (maybe even more as we miss 3 years of service documentation before that) and was replaced once just to see if the engine will still run. Before we take the 850 out for it's first drive (hopefully next year) we will flush the engine and change the engine oil again one or twice.
shit 407k kilometers haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. the engine sounds so good any way
@tobias lundin you didnt see that it was oil from the factory that the take out. was the first oil change 🤣
The oil is not a 10w40
Feirst connect always "+", second is "-"
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe
Надо было перед заменой масла промывку залить.
We will before we take it out on the road. This was just a first oil change just to see if the engine will still turn.
407.000 km
Hopefully that will become much more 😊
@@MusTRitch no doubt at all. Had lots of that brand.
Nice!

Get a new fuel pump relay.
Just out of curiosity, what made you suggest that? We might learn something from it😊
@@MusTRitch I had the same problem With my 850, got a new relay and it fired right up. I don’t think you needed to change the fuel pump.
I have a T5-R for sale
How much
And, where is it?
5:19 what a preparin oil filter? empty oil filter when it can be full. dont do this with old engine.
Putting some oil on the rubber of the new filter🙂
@@MusTRitch I always fill the filter with oil until it is soaked. This one was hanging downwards and its possible to fully fill it . when it turns it won't spill. When starting the engine and pump, the oil will go into the system earlier. Of course, I also use lubricating the gasket.
Ah sorry, I misunderstood. That makes sense indeed. We'll keep that mind. Thanks!
@@MusTRitch my english is bad sorry. are you planning to clean the engine's petrol injectors. e.g. brake cleaner? fuel could destroy rubber hoses, but time without use can scatter them and sprinkle impurities (rubber dust) into the injectors, partly blocking the injection holes. I had this on a 1.6 8V VW
There is a big chance we'll need new injectors all together. But first we will clean them indeed. Thanks again!
Not 5w30 is not good for this engine
Hm, that is what our local car parts dealer recommended. We are going to change the oil again before applying for the legal road test and we'll definitely look into that! Thanks!
