I inherited a vehicle like this from my brother, vw passat wagon 4 motion. It needed everything, water pump leak, driver window not working, lights not working, oil leaks, egr system needed work. It sat in my garage for about a year, then my daughter needed a car. I tore the thing down, fixed everything and got it smog'd . It was like a nice polished turd but it did run great. I handed it off to my daughter and she drove it to Mammoth Lakes where she worked. It ran great up until my daughter killed it by trying to 4 wheel drive it into a place to rock climb. She busted a hole in the transmission pan and then tried to drive it home. It got home but then wouldn't move. She burned the transmission up a year after I rebuilt the entire car. What a bunch of wasted money but to me it wasn't about the money. I love wrenching on a cars. It was about the adventure of wrenching on a car I new very little about. I think this is how Ray looks at these cars, as if its a new adventure everytime. The feathers in the dash of this volvo reminds me of my daughter and how she would try to save this car. Love your video's Ray
SHAZAYUM!
Looks like that was a dealership checking out the trade-in….
This vehicle strikes me is being symbol of the one you showed earlier this week that was in disrepair and neglect apparently it looks like either somebody attempted to do a timing chain or did it timing chain and forgot the tighten the bolts up on the camshaft whichever the lucky that didn't come apart have a great day yeah thanks for showing us vehicles if some people believe in disrepair it scares me that they're out on the road have a great day p
I see a Complete Set of declined repairs in this cars future @Rainman Ray's Repairs
They wanted a complete health report and inspection they didn't notice all these problems 😒 🤔 interesting @Rainman Ray's Repairs
I think the DRIVER needs to be evaluated for wanting an evaluation.
That thing needs a hell of a lot of work, but so far it seems manageable
I think its time for a new car
40 years in the business has taught me something about Volvo owners: The hate cars. It's part of the liberal uniform and they resent having to own one. Volvos have always been over rated, overpriced, poorly performing vehicles. Good for liberal virtue signaling and that's about all.
Cars ready to trade in
13:47, very noisy, but I thought I heard a toilet flushing? or do I need a new pair of earphones?
O dear. Seems a lot of work needed on this Volvo. Best of luck pal, Keep up the good work Ray .
Did the owner ever do anything about basic maintenance, or did he just buy a beater?
When test driving a vehicle for a daily driver, I have always checked the turn signal stalk solidness (👀 📺 ew oily alternator)
Get extended warranty and fix it for free. That's what they promise.
I think its the oil cooler hoses. Given how contaminated the cambelt is anyway, that needs doing and while you're at it, do all the seals.
As for the rest of the junker…. Ouch.
Comment added…
He heard you're a miracle worker who can almost raise the dead Ray lol
Kick it to the curb!
What on that rolling junkyard isn’t broken….my diagnosis is that key ring needs a new key.
Tell me what's wrong with my basket case vehicle I bought from a salvage yard so I can not pay you for the time it took to find the problems on my basket case of a vehicle.
Sound about right?
Really. We only used this car to go to church on Sundays!
Somehow I forgot to watch this video. Bonus video for me,
It doesn't even have 200K on it!? How? All of the cars I have owned, but one, had over 100k and ended with well over 200k. I haven't owned a VW, but I would imagine they are built with similar quality to a Toyota, GM, or Ford.
I think I saw the "scrap car" light on!…lol
8:56 A JELLY DOUGHNUT!
you have to install a new timing belt and all the seals, to honest that is a car that shows lack of maintenence the cost of all the repairs excede the valuue
You can that Volvo was made in China
