Power Washing The Volvo “Turdo!”

- My 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 was abandoned for years! In this video, I'll show you how I power-washed away a decade of dirt, moss, and algae. This Volvo 850 wagon rebuild is going to be amazing, but we have to start with a clean slate. You can't imagine how much better she looks after the Volvo 850 T-5 restoration begins!
Be sure to watch the first video on my Volvo wagon rebuild - • Just How Bad Could It ...

Imagine what's under the dash. And under the seat cushions. And under the back seat. And in the trunk. And in the headliner. And in the vents. And in the glove box. And crawling up your leg when you get in. Just think of it. LOL
King of the cliffhangers
I think Mike will get it running and he will like it better than the mercedes that he seems to prefer. haha
Looking good after the wash. The engine compartment really turned out well. I think she will run.
ofc it sa sweden tank, thouse run forever and are safe
For Christ's sake man, stop fluffing around with the brush under the hood and get the power washer onto it. Damn you're annoying as U age.
My aunt uncle had a Volvo I don’t remember the model, but it was basically that thing and it was a freaking tank and we go through the winters like you wouldn’t believe but I can tell you is they are worth trying to fix up
She will be here on the road
Lola and Benzo are smart!
Yes Mike get the Volvo running
Thx for hanging around on Christmas Day Mike 🎄 Loved the car Wash 💦😉
You don't see very many of the turbo bricks on the road. Definitely a keeper
You have to save her Mike😮 Not many of these left i that condition. You will fall in love with her when you get her running and hear the sound of the inline 5 with turbo...❤
Quickly becoming the Wagon Wizard, very cool
That car is in amazing shape for as long as it sat.
Mike, definitely repair the car! It will be beautiful when you're done! I'd call it the "nut wagon" since all the debris under the hood mat! Can't wait to see the work you'll do to this car!
Nut wagon is fitting!😂
Ho Mike. You need to save her. She is getting to be a rare car.
I've always loved Volvos, and I believe you got a good'n Mikey. I'm sure you'll have plenty of work ahead of you, but you're going to fall in love with it, I'm sure! They're indestructible tanks, and you'll love the feeling of being a little higher up off the roadway. If you got the rat wagon to work after all the rewiring you did, I'm positive you'll get this up and purring like a brick kitten, maybe more like an armor clad kitten.
Someone loved that car. I hope whoever has it down the road takes care of it. With those low miles it could last for years and years.
After seeing that OEM Volvo air filter that looked good, my guess is that this will run surprisingly well.
cleaning engine AND power washing with OPEN INLET air hose !!! BRILIANT !
Glad you liked it!
It will run Mike. It's a Volvo 😎😎👍👍💪💪
Going to be a great transformation.... Volvo 850 are Tough!
Mike you do not have a stupid channel and you , Lola And Benzo aren't stupid either. It takes time to fix a broken car. You always prevail 💪.You got got this Mike! I think it is gonna run. ❤️
Mike car has potential cant wait to see if it will run
😊
Ahh the mighty 20 valve volvo a magnificent 5 pot engine had some cooling problems but with a decent intercooler and piping they go very well
Gotta love a wagon
You left us hanging on the start and now it’s a car wash 🤔
Looking forward to this project. Got a V70XC project of my own.
Yes she will fire up. And I think you should call it Vicki.
I think it will start and run!!! Volvos are tanks. Merry Christmas Mike!!!
to help you dry out more quickly the engine compartment you can use a leaf blower .keep the good work Mike.
I agree with you. She is worth saving and definitely will run.
Detail geek to the rescue Mike! It'll be amazing once it's all done. Go Mike go! Hot that 100 subscribers!
fuel tank clean --maybe a fuel pump but definitely fuel filters. good luck and MERRY CHRISTMAS,.
Mike ! Greetings from Holland! This is a pearl! You can make it to be a beautiful 850 again! The mechanics are bombproof! I have had amazone, v70 classic and v70 200pk.s
So, carry on Mike, bring it back alive! I will follow your efforts from Holland! Johan.
Holland!! Very cool! Thanks!!!
Goin from turdo to tornado 🌪️
Great video and work, Happy Christmas❄️🎅🎄
Looking better by the minute
nice to see lola again mike and the valvo looks great love it
mike you will need to get the updated green coolant cap for your Volvo
I think she’s worth saving. ✔️
I think she will run, I’ve had one, they are beautiful to drive, she is a keeper.
will it run? Compression + Fuel + Spark = Run. That's the whole formula.
Those are cool wagons! Hopefully she will run.
A diamond in the rough
Merry Christmas Mike ,Lola and Benzo!🎄⛄.You made my Christmas.Made me laugh.❤
It would be "nuts" not to try getting that beauty back on the road again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Georgia.
Merry Christmas Mike, I was the one asking you to put volvo on your chanell, you did it! thank you / I am enjoying every minute of it
Thanks!!
Nice 😎 cleaned up well especially the engine bay. Keep an eye out for a second mouse there's normally more than 1 . You will love the 5 cylinder engine sound my 2004 C70 t collection sounds amazing when you put your foot down on the gas pedal
Great car Mike! Call it Sven!
Mike, I believe you can save that Volvo.
Hi from Sweden ✌🏻 I've had 5 850s, three sedans and 2 wagons w various engines, they're surprisingly easy to work on, so you've got this!
It should shine up and work nicely! 😊
That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching!
These are timing belt motors. Make sure it turns over before you get too invested
Glad you are doing a volvo, you will like them more and more as you work on them,
She is going to run and restore.👍
Happy holidays to you, yours and everyone watching! Keep up the great content Mike you’ve come so far!!!
Merry Christmas Mike, Good Video Content, I Think Some TLC She’ll Run.. Got A Good Name For The Volvo T5 “Nutcase” Because Of All The Acorns Stored In That Hood Liner & Air Cleaner Box..
Don't worry about power washing the interior. I did it several times when I was a taxi driver (W124) in Germany in the early 90s. If the passengers couldn't handle the amount of alcohol they had, I had to clean it quickly to get back to business. A towel, heating on maximum and 20 minutes of cruising with the windows open is all you need
I agree with Lola .
Love the video and can’t wait too see her running
Nice black paint. Looking good Mike 😎😎👍👍
That is a really fast car. The paint will buff out. Remounting the tire will probably fix it. This volvo was a Police car in Europe and the Netherlands. That 5 cilinder is very very fast engine.
If it's driving it's going to be so much fun! I enjoyed the video a lot.
Mr. Mike a very good video and good to see Lola and her friend mr. duck. Merry Christmas
The old 850's and V70's were a close 2nd to the W123 chassis Mercedes. Built like a tank and would run forever. The turbo had decent power for the time. The inlaws had a '93 850 sedan, N/A, that was awesome. Drove great, little short on power, but lasted them over 20 years. You're going to enjoy that wagon. Sure hope it runs and drives for you. They're pretty fantastic cars. Can't wait to see it resurrected.
YES THE TURDO WAGON!!! SHINES YP LIKE A RUSTY BATTERY TERMINAL. LMAO go Mike Happy Holidays
This is going to get good
The Volvo looks a nice . Like Mike says … I like it. And yes you will get this start 🚙
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to yall
Hi Mike, nice work on the Volvo 850. I think this is a really nice find. Fix it up and enjoy the Volvo 👌 Don’t forget to put some oil in the cilinders before you crank it 😉
When I had my 98 328i convertible. I had to keep it in the garage for a while until I could get a new top since the old one got slashed. It was in there a week and a damn mouse made a home under the hood and in the glove box. I was like...wtf!? So glad I caught it when I did. And I'm not a Volvo fan, sept for the c30 hatchback. But if you like it. Save it. Screw what we think. I'm sure folks will watch either way.
Mike ,some people think you are a wit..but I think they are half right!
Finally you got a Volvo. I will thoroughlly enjoy this build.
Mike, I love your videos. My first love is a W140. I own a Volvo S60 and have always liked the “Brick” Volvo. You have merged two great car companies on your channel. In the words of Gene Wilder… IT. COULD. WORK.
Keep on working on this sweet 🇸🇪little thing had a 98 s 70 myself back in the day
I think it’s worth restoring and I think it will run. Great job cleaning her up, looks wonderful. Hope you had a Merry Christmas !! 🎄🎅🏻
Thanks, you too!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike You’re very welcome !
She looks good all washed up.😊
Happy Christmas to you Mike, my Spidey senses fears you might have a repeat of the disco inferno if you don't check all the wires first. Don't let Bork be reduced to an ash!
Mike, you could call it the Viking Wagon. I don't think that it will start up right at first, until you fix the chewed up wires and hoses. You don't have sense enough to know that it is a lost cause, so I think that you WILL get it running and driving.
Volvos are cool
It's looking good Mike! I like it. If it passes a compression check, it should run. Nice work!
Good thing that you are not eating when you made the video Mike
She will start. It's beautiful.
Vehicles from 1990-2010 are the best. My 2008 Acura TL Type-S is my child
A little bit of info, the T5 was a favourite for the boys in blue over here in the UK because they were so good. Believe me Mike if you can sort out Mickey's wiring leftovers it will fire up no probs, and it will make you think twice about the Mercs the ride is second to none. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Mike I think that Volvo is a very good looking car I think you will have a very good wagon when you get it done the inside looks good also yes I think that you should get it running it will be a very good wagon for you period Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona
Those 850's are popular in Europe. Lovely cars
Merry Christmas Mike! Name the car Mickey for the mouse you found in the engine.
Every volvo will run. I bouht a 740 turbo. After 6 years of parking it started. And lived a nother day
Hey Mike!
Not a huge Volvo guy but that's looking pretty good. I like the mad boxy ones from the 80's more
Yes it going to run
Keep it going buddy… you’re gonna get there soon enough.. good video as always..
I'm literally at the edge of my seat here! Recently subscribed, what baited me was that Barbie geo! And now, here's a cliffhanger on a beautiful Volvo! My uncle used to have one of those (can't remember the exact model, but looks just the same), and he ADORED that car. You, good sir, are one helluvah RUclipsr. Can't wait to see what happens next on the Volvo saga.
I think it will run and it's a pretty good looking Volvo❤❤❤
Lovely car Mike, definitely a keeper!
This is a keeper Mike. Good looking old Volvo. They are tanks.
Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike. Power washing the Volvo station wagon. Let's see what she will look like after the vacuum and power wash. Merry Christmas Mike, Lola, Benzo the duck and the other duck. 🎅🤶🎄
