Wacky Windscreen Wipers on Lili the Volvo 240 + New Rims!

- The windscreen wipers were not working properly on Lili the Volvo 244 sedan, so I get out the parts cannon and replace the relay and wiper motor in the hopes of fixing it. I also fit Scorpius alloys!

you finna get slapped up
😎
Having the exact same wiper issue on my 244. Looks like I’m gonna find a used OEM wiper motor and new relay. Solid 🤙🏼
Glad my vid could help you out man, it's usually the other way around 😄
Had the same issue. I just opened up the little cover on the wiper motor and cleaned the contacts / regreased everything. Make sure to test it with the cover closed since the ele ground goes through there.
@@Involvod Yeah what the Brit expat said! I had a wiper motor fail on me whilst crossing the upper Chesapeake bay bridge in the middle of a BAD rainstorm once! I was at the midpoint of the bridge and the wipers suddenly stopped moving.
Wow those wheels look great on your sedan! I definitely have wheel envy now! My 92 has the Poverty Special wheel covers. I bought an aftermarket wiper relay that allows the driver to set the delay, but I never installed it because I couldn't locate the wiper relay on my car. Now I know where it is thanks to you!
Thanks! I honestly think the plastic covers look alright though, unlike the 700/900, the 200 seems to look good no matter what wheels are on them 😄
And you're welcome! Good luck with the job!
Really cracking out the content and it’s all great to watch! I haven’t found any time to work on my car!
Thanks man! A few friends checked out your vid from the shoutout and they are really excited to see your progress on it!!
As a 240 and 740 owner, I greatly appreciate your coverage of several different B230 varieties. Priceless.
Thanks Zach! I appreciate you watching the old vids too!
Having exactly the same issue
I took the plate off and cleaned the inside of the motor and cleaned it all out and cleaned the contacts and made the connection and still won't park
May need to look at the connector block and the relay 👍🏻
Just realized I did this exact job in the snow around the same time. The snow wasn't fun, but it had to be done, that weekend I had to drive home in the rain at night and it was utterly horrifying without the wipers. A real freezejob. I've got the same Scorpius set on Christine. I really dig them. I've almost got all the original tire nuts that came with them. I blacked out the center 'volvo' cap in matte black and I might just leave those on, I think it looks good even though I have 3 of the silver caps, still waiting for that fourth on a fateful junkyard trip to decide. Keep rollin'!
I feel your pain I did alot of frosty jobs this winter, not fun 😅 The Scorpius rims look great don't they, the only wheels I like more/the same are the Corona ones
It's worth doing a bit of preventative maintenance on those original 240 wiper motors. Water had got into mine and under the magnets. The corrosion was pushing the magnets into contact with the armature as it turned which could have proved terminal if allowed to continue. A good clean up and regluing the magnets to the housing and it's working fine. This was fortunate because I couldn't find an RHD motor for love nor money. Great vid, channel and infectious enthusiasm !
Thanks! And for the tips! I think I'll do that soon 👍
Very interesting this. Congrats on getting the wipers to work!
Thanks! 😃
I have also said I want to buried in my Volvo 240. Now I’ve heard you say it I bet there are more of us!
There must be! 😄
Отлично! Красный вагон, набитый оригинальными качественными запчастями, приступил к спасению твоих машин)
на нем еще много отличных запчастей, не перепродавай его дальше тем кто все равно не сможет его восстановить и в итоге добъет в металл для новых народных автомобилей( Не болей, огромный красный 245 гроб пусть подождет)
Agreed! I've started to strip it for parts 👍
Wheels look great👍
Cheers 👍
Hey bro, enjoyed the 🎥,glad they moved all the relays and fuses on the newer Volvo s. Also liked that trick were u say I need a Haynes manuel and one appears!
Thanks! Haha that's Whiteland Restoration for you! 😄
I love your videos! We drive a 91 240 wagon a 91 240 sadan a 91 940 turbo sadan and a 95 940 sadan there all loved deeply and have names we treat them better than family lol keep up the awesome work your videos are excellent and very helpful
Saved! Mine works well but it became noisy lately so I believe its on its way out. Thanks for sharing! Nacho.
Thanks! According to a couple of comments here they need re-greasing as they dry up! Good luck with it 👍
@@Involvod Perfect, Re-grease should be done in the levers under the dashboard? Thanks!
And the motor itself 🙂
The Scorpious-X look smart. I had them on my 244. Wish I kept them for my 245.
Thanks! Hopefully another set comes up cheap for you 👍
Put a jackstand under the opposite end of Wheel spanner from the nut. . Then hit with a 2kg hammer. Takes any flex out of spanner and concentrates all the force to the nut. Even jack up the the opposite end to take up the slack . So when you you push down or hit. there is no slack at all. Ali wheels tend to tighten up for some reason over time. I carry a short length of Ali tube that slips over the spanner to double its leverage also. Saves me carrying around a jackstand and 2kg hammer. Lol.
Haha, that's a great tip mate, thanks i'll remember that!
Good Job. Nice to have parts at hand. My humble opinion: The wheels look stylish, they suit the 240 very well and has this superior touch to it. Like your sense of humor.
Thanks Walt! And me too I'm really happy with it!
Grounding issues! Make contact vid the lid on the motor housing and contact from motor assembly to car/ground. Grind and scrape. Later models have a sturdy cable to chassie. :)
Those are a clean set! I snagged me a set of hydras from the junkyard the other day I can’t wait to throw them on the 240
Hydras on a 240! Can't say I've ever seen that 🤔Would be great to see a picture of the results of you're on Instagram!
Those rims add certain class ,personality to the sedan.
Agreed!
Great wheels! and the Mudster has loads of quality parts;-)
Thanks! Not as many as i'd have liked but certainly more than 500 bucks worth so we're definitely ahead 😃
The red wagon is starting to pay for itself already, so it was a good buy after all. 😉
The sedan looks great with the wheel swap, but I kind of like the OG hubcaps on the 740 wagon. Gives it a more understated businesslike appearance. 🙂
Congrats on another success.
Yeah I definitely think so. Thanks! I see what you mean, I am enjoying the original look of it 👌
Alu Teufel is the best wheel cleaner out there, I saw you used it. I order them by box of 6 haha!
Loving the music by the way!
Looks beautiful those wheels.
Thanks! 😃
Those wheels are cracking. Beautiful work
Thanks Johnny! 👍
What a horrible location for that relay! My 83 has been doing the same thing for a while. I have been meaning to do some research on this but laziness has overtaken me.
Now I'll know how to fix this, so thank you!
Even those of us who have Volvos still want to go out and buy volvos after watching your videos 😂
Having a parts car is always so useful! It saves all the doubts and the wondering before ordering a ton of parts.
The new wheels look absolutely fantastic! They cleaned up so well too! I absolutely love pressure washing and seeing things clean up.
Great video as always and I look forward to the next one!
I think it's quite a common problem! Haha you always want to buy Volvos don't blame me 🤣 Thanks buddy, much appreciated!
New wheels looking niiice! I have fond memories of laying upside down on the passenger side for hours trying to fix a stripped out wiper drive
Haha not fun! Cheers buddy
My dads mate had the glt model .what a machine that was fully loaded car .you dont see those anymore
No not even here where there's quite a few 240s still about!
wheels look nice on the 240.
For the 740 the OEM turbo rims were called Draco (15").
But you can also fit Hydra (16", 940turbo '91-'95) or Auriga (16", 940 '95-'98). I really like the Hydra's on a 740 because they match the boxy angular styling of the 740.
Nice thing about 16" is that you still have a wide range of tire choices. They are modern tire tech, widely available and relatively cheap
For 15" and 14" the tire choice is way less and possibly expensive. (more aimed at the classic car market)
Thanks! I think those wheels you mentioned look great, especially on the turbo models and 940, for this old chromed up American looking thing I'd really like Rigel alloys!
Hold on, hold on ... "It's videos like this that make you want to buy a Volvo ... " LOL That's a bit optimistic! But seriously the blue paint on Lilly looks great with those alloys.
And I was surprised that the wiper motor from the 240 worked in the 740, but it did. I will remember that. Thanks for showing.
Ha! Thanks, yeah I think it looks great! Thanks for watching 👍
I'm loving it!
😃🙏
Those wheels look good! Does the 240 have a outside temperature gauge on the dashboard? All of those accessory gauges are rare here in the US. It is always nice to have a full parts car standing by!
Thanks, it does!! It's not at all accurate though, I mean way off, I thought about putting something else in its place, along with trying to get the 3 hole bracket to have more (battery voltage, oil pressure etc) but of course people are asking big money for them
Don't make fun of your brother! lol
😄
Very nice wheels! ;)
Nice episode! Lots of classic 240 stuff! :D. Water inside, crappy wiper motor, wet relay! Love it! :D
The reason the motor went so slow might be the magnet unglued from the housing due to corrosion. That's what happend to mine ;)
Glued it back and works perfect! But yeah still gotta fix the stop contacts somehow ;)
Wow! Them wheels! Lilly looks like $$ now :D
Stay healty mate!
Haha! Thanks, a few people have mentioned that, I might do a bit of preventive maintenance on this original unit!
No I don't have a Volvo because I can't even drive but for some crazy reason I'm hooked on your channel and it's all Sids fault! Hope that you don't have 'it' but if you do you will be fine Sledge, didn't have you down as drama queen - lol!
Haha! Thanks, fingers crossed 🤞😃
Thank you for all your videos! Had exactly the same problem on my 245 -88, changed the relay and now everything works except the intermittent function (dunno what that's about).
By the way, would be great to see a 100-series in the fleet, perhaps a 142 or 144 can be found in Germany :)
Thanks! Would love a 140, never see them though, way more Amazons around than them, it's crazy!
I had the Scorpius wheels on my first 240. They do look great! Hope you don't catch it and keep well!
They do don't they! Thanks man
To improve the 740 appearance find some 740 turbo alloys and put them on. I don't know what they are called but they are 5 spoke and solid looking like the Virgos. I have them my 940 and it looks good.
Another great 👍 video! Vovlo's are so different from any other vehicle I've seen they're so damn reliable and underrated my XC70 is pretty quick too lol...I forgot to ask you if in the near future would you get a mailbox 📬 for fan mail and stuff in your description? Thanks man and again thanks for the great content
Thanks! I agree! That would be great, I'll look into what options are available 👍
@@Involvod awesome 👌 can't wait to see the next video and again Volvos just seem to go and go my 99 XC70 has 199,000 miles and still strong as ever
If you ever come close to a 740 Turbo or a 940 Turbo, they have some nice rims or alloys that make that wagon look nice
They do, tbh my top choice at the moment is the Rigel alloys that came on the 760
sorry ! the volvo will get saved if you covid. nice humour , nice channel.
Haha, thanks! 👍
Awesome job as always!
Don't worry about the old 'rona, it'll buff off ;)
Cheers 😃
Lmao at the Partridge cleaning reference 😀 those alloys look fantastic to be fair, definitely need some alloys on Elsa now. Oh and cheap Chinese crap parts are becoming a real pain in the arse. Loving the fleet fella!
😄 So true mate! Thanks 👍
Very 80s BMW and Partridge who 🤷♂️
😄😄😄
Do you still have the 240 wagon, try the wiper motor from the wagon if you still have it, sometimes the wiper motor might go also check the wiring that is in the engine bay.
Hey man love the content as always and cool wheels. I'd love to buy a 240 salon so how much can you pick up one for in Germany. Thanks
Hey thanks man! They are quite expensive now, but I'd say about 3k could probably get you a half decent one with some valid inspection on it.. eBay Kleinanzeigan is the best site to check, good luck with the search 👍
What’s the plan with the cars going forward, are you just getting them working and back to factory looks? Scaff tube over the end of a spanner, longer the stronger!
Love that saying! I'm a big fan of leverage! And good question, I'm keeping Lili and Elsa pretty much factory, the 940 turbo we'll have some fun with 😎
Do I spy a Knopper wrapper in that door card? 👀
Haha you know it 😃
i'm with you on the idea of new wheels for elsa, maybe some hydras?
I think Hydras look great, but as this one has alot of chrome, no turbo and an auto box I'm thinking a set of Rigels would finish it off nicely 👌
@@Involvod i do love a set of rigels
Wheels do look good - very period 🙂 much more classy than a BMW! I was expecting the issue to be the stalk! Why did Volvo put the intermittent relay so the wires faced up so the water could run in!!!! Madness. Do you have an idea where the water is coming in?
Haha thanks!! If I didn't have a spare motor I 100% would have started with the stalk, as they do also have problems with contacts.
The windscreen seal has lifted in the corners and there's some holes in it so I'm pretty sure it's from there, total pita!
@@Involvod At least you know where the leak is. Might be a right pain to fix but finding the source is usually half the battle. Maybe just try and dry the seal corners out and squirt some silicon sealant in for the time being while winter is here.
@@ched999uk Miss Involvo'd suggested the same thing, I think it's probably the best short term solution! We don't want to have to do floors again 🙈
The rims look sick :) Already saw the ad for the red 245 and saw you changed tires :P
Hopefully covid doesn't hit you as hard - I need your content, now that I bought myself a 244 :P I will probably produce some videos with it in the near future on my channel.
I'ld love to have a chat with you sometime since I now need to learn about the cars.
Cheers 😃 Definitely man you can reach me on Insta although I'm not the best teacher as you can see i'm learning as I go 😅 Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club!
@@Involvod definitly more experience than me :P I'm just like you - my last project was a 1960 Borgward, that I found in a barn here in in Germany. Sadly my Videos are in german, but you can probably See that I just tried to piece the car back together as good as I could xD
I followed you on insta :) I might visit some friends in Berlin at some point this year. I'll Text you then or When some Problem arises, where you might've an idea on how to fix it, okay?
Thank you :)
You seem like a really cool bloke 😎
Nice! I'll definitely check your channel out, probably with Miss Involvo'd so she can translate 😄 Sounds great! You too!
Hay man, another great vid. I had a similar problem with my 240 wipers, couldn't believe how much water was in the relay and how they were working at all! Whats parts availability like in Germany? As i think 740's look great on Hydra's. also any plans to lower the 240 a little, maybe just 40mm? think it would really suit those new wheels. Cheers man, look forward to your next vid, fingers crossed for your health too, stay well.
Thanks! Good location isn't it 🙄 Loads of parts available here luckily, getting expensive now though...
I had a look at the 240 today and you might be right! 😃
@@Involvod Leave the height alone! The Volvo designers and engineers knew what they were doing.
The wiper motor, have you asked Volvo about warranty?
It must have been just a cheap Chinese replacement, the quality was terrible!
Where can i buy headlight wipers for a 240? There a online store that sells them for 740s but not 240s or do they have the same wipers?
You can find them at Skandix 👍
don't fear the rona. i had it sorta like a bad hangover with a cold.
I have an 89 240gl. The wipers awhile back started to slow down then completely stopped working. I just bought a new wiper motor. I was hoping once I plugged it in, I would see at least movement from the motor before installing it. There is nothing. Any suggestions?
Hey, is the separate earth wire definitely connected right? If so, the next best thing would be to make sure there is power getting to the motor
@@Involvod Man I feel like an idiot. I did not hook up the earth wire up. I didn't know it was necessary. I hooked up everything correctly and all functions, including the intermittent are all working. Thanks for the reply. I was already getting ready to order parts I didn't need.
We've all done it 😃 Glad it's working now! Thanks for the update 👍
Yup...the new wheels are the dogs balls, looks great. Find a nice set for the 740....BTW... take the 240 over the slug 740 any day. Oh to be ing Volvo lovers. Take care brother, hope you don't get the Omicron...just getting over it....it has been unpleasant, and you might end doing a lot of sleeping. Otherwise...press on.
Thanks yeah definitely, I think Rigels would look great as they came on the better spec 760. And cheers, that's all we can do isn't it 👍
Why does the dash not look like my 89 dash?
Tengo un problema con un Volvo 940 del año 1993 el arranca pero se ahoga por mucho combustible y no acelera. El regulador de combustible está bueno los inyectores también y la computadora ya se reviso y tenía un problema lo repararon y mejoro un pero sigue igual
Hey, not sure if it would cause it to choke that much but have you considered the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor? They can often be an issue
Muchas gracias👍. De echo tiene un sensor que va en el radiador que está desconectado
these wiper motors are bullet proof so it is better to clean them,lube readjust as required and reinstall, most of the times, it is a waste of money to pay for a new, crap one.
Definitely, that's the plan for next time for sure. Thanks!
You are horrible at changing tires on a Volvo XD you need an extended praybar and kick it with force and will, it's a Volvo it can take anything
