It was supposed to be a quick job... But I managed to take on all the tasks and complete them, getting this 240 back on the road in better shape than it rolled in.

Volvo 240s are easy to work on, but they NEED work. That's the trouble with owning one in 2021. Otherwise you pay premium. She paid premium and we were still lied to about some of the things it needs, but we were prepared 🤠 🤙

To know what to look for, check out the Volvo 240 buyer's guide:    • The Volvo 240 Buyer's Guide  

In total I changed:
the struts
strut mounts
thermostat
water pump
front main seal
intermediate shaft seal
camshaft seal (twice)
camshaft silencers
oil plug on the back of head/valve cover
valve cover gasket
alternator
alternator wiring repair
motor mounts
cleaned flame trap
replaced one cluster bulb
timing belt and tensioner pulley
Next video I change the transmission pan gasket and filter. Link soon.

Pro tip: If someone is doing work for you, feed them. 👍
