Welcome back! Today I'm driving a beautiful example of a 6-speed manual 2004 Volvo V70R station wagon, lightly modified. Much of the S60R / V70R was developed and engineered prior to the acquisition by Ford, which made the wagon much more desirable to Euro driving enthusiasts. With a 2.5L 5-cylinder turbocharged engine under the hood, AWD, Brembo brakes, and adjustable Ohlins suspension, the second generation V70R is an underrated sleeper with more potential to enlighten your family with adrenaline than the countless number of over-stylized crossovers that would follow in the years to come. Enjoy!

when a guy who sat in one million car seats say, that volvo seats are an absolute couch, take it as truth... because they are!
A couch that has incredible side bolsters, too! If anyone locally ever parts one out, i'm grabbing the seats...
@@RoadsUntraveled you don't need to wait for an R to be gutted, all volvos after 1997 (the new shapes, v70, c70 etc) are having the same seats! my mk1 c70 had the same seats as my mk2 v70 right now
as far as I am aware, the R has no special seats either, but I am not completely sure
The xc90 seats are the same leather ones a believe. Super comfy!
ZakkuEmanyueru The R seats are much more deeply bolstered, and totally different. I’ve owned regular V70’s and a V70R. Seats are in another league
you should try a volvo 740/940, the fabric seats are unbelivably soft
Most under rated wagon of all time. Motorway Missile. AWD. Brembos. 6 speed. Active suspension. Active yaw control. High pressure turbo. Gorgeous to look at. What's not to love.
The mechanical problems that arise, but still so worth it. I’m a 240 owner, but seriously tempted by Rs
Maintenance?
Angle gear issue, etm failures, coil failures, cracked cyl walls, cem failures, pem failures, immobilizer failures, clogged sunroof drains that cause pillar to peel, 27 modules to fail essentially lol...
Love my 98 t5 manual...
Cable throttle, distributor ignition, fully tuneable ecu, half the sensors.
Shit i removed all emission stuff, sas and cat and just disabled check in ecu no cel...
Yes only fwd but i like near 500ft lbs trying to kill me lol.. Keeps you on your toes..
@@ogfromutube9649 them P2 engineers must've their fingers in their rear end when they design them, have you had dashboard problems on the 850?
Coil packs is a normal maintenance item and the etm failures were a problem on 99-01 Volvos 02+ p2s had the bosh throttle body which is as solid as can be. I’ve also have owed 4 p2 s60 T5s and I’ve never had sunroof drains clog I know it can/has been an issue for some but I never experienced it.
I worked at a Volvo dealer for 9 years. Volvos are the only auto that uses boron steel in the safety cage, the V70 and all volvos can be dropped upside down, or roll down a hill and the roof will not collapse, firefighters cannot cut the door open with the jaws of life, they would hold a class in our showroom teaching firefighters how to get in or around the boron steel in the door. Our dealership was open since 1970 and not one customer had ever lost their life, but we had many shoppers who lost loved ones in the other brands when they traded up. There is not a single car built like the volvos up to about 2010, after that I do not know if they still use boron steel.
Volvo has never been boring.. they've been doing nothing but innovating.
5 cylinders sound so sick
My dad had a 240 turbo with cosworth bits on it, and that was fast as well
Nobody talks about the crazy range of adjustment in the super comfortable front passenger seat. It can rock back like an Apollo capsule on the launch pad, and it can fold way forward for extra rear cargo room.
I own both an S60R and a 6 speed V70r. Fantastic cars in ever way with the exception of maintenance. Really great cars.
Dude fr? Owning both is some crazy stuff! I literally just want to educate myself well enough so I can get one of these at some point in the future. Unfortunately they are very rare already even though I live in Finland.
Can you say if what he said about the 2.5L engine being prone to issues is true? I'm looking at a nice one and just a little worried that there may be a problem. Oh and is the automatic gearbox issue free?Thanks
I have this same car in black and, because of the thin cylinder walls mentioned at 6:35, it now has a 2.3 Volvo five cylinder with an R head.
I know the 2.5 is bored out from the factory, is the 2.3 just the same engine just without that bore?
Yeah it's just a smaller bore. We put shims in between a cylinder so they won't
I actually just picked up a v60 Polestar with the straight 6 turbo. Even more rare, made for only 2 years. If you’re ever in Edmonton I’ll be happy to hand over the keys to you for you to review.
Came here to say this.
You should post up your social media. I would love to see it 👍
Volvo's are such a weird state of cool, especially the 5 cyls of the late 90's and 00's but also the boxy 2-, 7- and 940 models. I own a 945 Turbo myself, and I got hooked off a friend who had a 244 non turbo for years. It's such a classic and innocent looking car, and they drive/ride nicely. The 7- and 940 Turbo's have a huge following here in Europe, mostly Scandinavia (ofc) and they have huge and easy tuning potential, as they run a 2.3 cast iron block, that has been in Volvos since the 544 and Amazon and it's overbuilt, as the rest of the car is. It's such a sturdy, comfortable, reliable and fun car to run around in. Oh and the old Volvos are RWD! Everybody smiles and looks, even old people, moms, youngsters and car guys. Rarely, if ever, do I meet anyone who has something against an old Volvo. They may not love it, but none has anything against it.
When modified both the old 2.3 4cyl and the newer different versions of 5cyl are very cool engines, and the bodylines on most Volvos are iconic and easy to look at. Not very exciting I must say.
Great cars as I hope many more open their eyes about!
I own one. 230K miles, never had an issue with the engine (cylinder cracking) or any other serious issue for that matter. I don't drive it too hard, but enjoy a good sprint now and then. It's been a great car. I'm the original owner. My only mod is the IPD cat back exhaust, which has been great. Hope to do the IPD downpipe at some point.
I own a 850 wagon turbo and i hate the ipd exhaust. The droning from the exhaust is killing me, im used to it now but will be replacing the exhaust the first chance i get.
@@davekim3570 I have the IPD cat back exhaust as well. The drone does get a bit annoying at times.
I got the same car 2004 and I drive it the way you say you drive yours the only issue so far is a seal
155k miles
You see a lot of posts guys cracking cylinders their launching them DUH!!
I've had a couple of Volvos. I currently have a 1998 Volvo V70 turbo GLT with cold air intake, Simons exhaust, subframe bushing inserts, strut tower brace, and basically all new parts. I love Volvo. This car is so versatile, super comfortable, fast...and awesome in the snow... wish it was a manual... Never been to British Columbia, beautiful place! Love the mountains! P.s. no pen holder in my car... ha

These cars are so cool to me no clue why love everything about them
Every Volvo from this one and down will be extremely valuable in the future, especially in Scandinavia.
I like the way you did this review. I'm new to my S60R and want the meat and potatoes of an interview and you got right to it. Thanks.
The volvo t5 of 05-07 is a awsome engine can easely handle 500hp unopend, the R model is not that good tho, they are realy weak but in stock form they are sick.
Let’s talk about 4T5 as you said can make 600HP without any but any engine parts swaps 😂
I’m glad to own my t5 as well 😎
The internals on the 4T4 are actually pretty stout. I found a sepc sheet on the internals and they're probably good for 500+ HP easy but the thin cylinder walls prevent it from getting there.
@@OnShouldersOfGiants one friend of my is swapping his V70 to 4T5 because the old engine is broken.
This engine is legendary(like RB26DETT and 2JZ) unfortunately Volvo don’t make more 5 cylinders.
But nice knowledge you have 😎
Believe thats the engine with forged internals, people here in Sweden pushing some good numbers on these. Awesome to see a Volvo on the channel
Even so, the meat between cylinder walls means you can't push them much or they crack (as has been stated) and is very much a thing without shimming. I've heard of people using the T5 block which is a 2.4 which has a bit more meat which can be pushed with more boost.
@@youtubasoarus Yes shims is needed when going big 👍
@@youtubasoarus Yeah the 4T5 engine out of the T5 cars are bulletproof
Swedish guys use d5 diesel blocks alot
@@youtubasoarus t5 was 2.3
very interesting sleeper for sure!
Love the video just brought one of these yesterday.
Thanks! One of the best performance wagons or sedans for the money right now...
My '01 V70 2.4T was my favourite car. Went fast and saved my life. I'm dying to get my hands on a 6-speed V70R! My S60 definitely hauls, but it isn't the same. Plus the functionality of the wagon is unbeatable.
About cracked blocks, I had two cylinders in S60R crack and cause all sorts of problems. Since then, I replaced the block and everything else basically and painted it all nicely super happy with the result.
Great video 👏
OMG IM SO HAPPY RN. Recently my dads v70 got into a wreck and I went on vacation and when we came back, there was a v70 R in the driveway, IM SO HAPPY
I love my V70R. It's my daily in Metro Detroit. If you see the "Caution slow moving vehicle" bumper sticker (my version of bait) driven by an old man with a grey beard, that's me
I had a friend that had a black one of these that made like 450hp! It was super dope! I have always loved these things!
Love the pop between shifts 2:20
I had a 2005 S40 T5 6-speed and it was a f**king beautiful to drive. Such good memories.
V50s are sick wagons too
I have one of these. The same colour.as in the video, gray. 07. 155km. My neighbour has an 04. Love it.
Hi, Great video! But… your wrong about the overtake by Ford in 2008. This actually was in 1999!
So the last “real” volvo’s are the 850 and the facelifted 850 the V70 classic. The V70N cars share a similar engine as previous generation cars but of less quality. Nevertheless these are great cars. I owned a V70N 2.4T ocean race that i sold with 404k km. Currently i drive a 850 2.5 20V from 1996. She still drives like new😉
I have a 98 s70 t5 manual 1 of 361 in u.s
That was last true Volvo.. Not the 850..
Its a 2.3l 8.5:1 cr 20v with m56h trans.
I put a b5234t9 vvt motor with the longer conrods. Windowed block. And improved coolant pathways. But yes ford bought volvo in 1999 not 05... And resold in 2010 to chinese manufacturer. Though up to 07 they carried much of same volvo tech and safety. They ditched the cable throttle and went dbw with horrible bosch etm until 04. Ditched distributor based ignition and went coil on plug which had ton of coil failures like most 2000-2007 cars nissan alike. And changed the me4.3/4.4 ecu to me7/9
Great video I thought I was the only crazy back in here early 80s I kind of fell in love with the turbo charged Volvo. I currently have a 2007 V70R that I purchased about six years ago. It’s not a daily maybe once or twice or three times a week I get it out of the on the road .. thanks again for the video
Has it been fairly reliable for you? I loved the way this one drove. Such a great daily, and undervalued/overshadowed by a lot of other enthusiast wagons from BMW and Audi.
Under rated wagon of all time
I can confirm, we have a '12 V70. Really reliable, has never broken down, just a flat tire once
One of my dream cars ❤️👍🏾
Drive by-wire was introduced in '99 on the Volvo 5cyl engines. The 4C dampers were designed by Ohlins, but manufactured by Gabriel. Also, Ford acquired Volvo in 1999, and the V70R is on the P2 platform, which is a shared platform with Ford and Mazda.
Isn't it Monroe for the dampers? Replacements are stupid pricey.
@@youtubasoarus not sure. I know Monroe makes replacements, but I've been told that Gabriel is the actual OEM manufacturer
@@CaptainTonus hmmm.... would be nice to source OEM without paying 2k for a set.
Also coil on plug was introduced in 99.. Along with single vvt and me7 ecu
@@youtubasoarus nivomats are pricey.. Auto leveling.. no worse then benz or caddy tho..
Love my old volvo, the drive, the safety feel, the boxy lok which i don't mind, , ,, and i cried and grief when i've to dispose of her . , , never bought another volvo again, the heartbreak is just too much.
I've got an 03 S60 T5, I love that car to bits. Sadly I have to sell it soon, I have no choice. Hopefully I'll own one again some day.
Dont do it
Take a stock V70R-M6, tune it well to stage 0-then add a 3" down pipe, Eurosport Tuning sport exhaust, IPD Sway bars, and Kaplhenke Delrin subframe bushings - then you have a really terrific feeling V70R-but don't chip it without re-enforcing the block. Those who do it right can get 450 HP safely out of this engine. Nice to see the enthusiastic review, but comfort mode is not too exciting-the R comes alive in active mode-brake response, throttle response and steering all sharpen - yes-it's a hard ride in active, but to jump into active mode for some quick cornering and then easily switch back to sport for the straight-just so good-this was an incredibly advanced feature for 2004.
The sound of this engine is unlike most any other.
Ford borrowed this engine for the Focus RS
And the st
I owned a 1984 turbo diesel 760gle. It had a Audi 6cyl turbo diesel motor that was unbelievable!
6:12 its right. Most times they swap it for a 2.4 T5 engine. (Only delivered from 2004 to 2008 in S60/V70)
This comes original with the same K24 turbo and put out stock 260HP
We shim the 2.4 block and we can get more power from it. 400 is good for the boost .
Very nice and manual too!! The sedans where rare in a manual here in US, I'm a wagon owner myself but it's a VW. GREAT VIDEO. ✌
Have a 98 s70 t5 manual 1 of 361
@@ogfromutube9649 nice. I had a 2004 Passat wagon 1.8T 5mt 4motion
Good video
Nice Vid & Love me some Volvo. I've got a '98 V70 T5 [badged '97 in Europe], which is model just below the R. It's really an 850 with new body style. In '99 they added VVT on intake. In 2000 (I think) is when they went to full VVT and drive by wire. I really like the '98, as everything can be addressed by OBD II. Later, they went to proprietary computer system. I hear it's a headache.
Owned a 2004 p2 V70R for 2 years, loved that car to death. They are a maintenance pig just like every euro car from the early 2000's. No other car on the planet I would rather drive through snow in, it never loses grip. If you somehow manage to get the car to slide the car has a feature in which the traction control will literally brake and accelerate on wheels individually without you doing anything to correct the car and return it to going straight.
So Ford actually bought Volvo in the late 90s, the last true Volvo was the 850, and the 1998 C/S/V70. Because Ford bought Volvo around that time, Volvo cars started using more electronics, and more importantly different engine management systems. From 1992-1998 all Volvo 850s and the S/V70 used Bosch ECUs which had a mechanical throttle cable. From 1999 onwards all Volvos had drive by wire. Oddly enough the NA cars had Denso ECUs, and the turbo cars had ME7 ECUs. They continued that trend for the whole P2 generation as well.
Well, it depends on how you look at it. I personally think that the last REAL Volvo was the Volvo 940, 945, 960 and 965. Besides the shifting of ownership they were the last cars that had RWD and was built and assembled in the Swedish factories. 1998 was the last year those cars were built.
The facelifted P2 cars are pretty much Ford's but the early P2 cars(-04), you would be hard pressed to find a single FoMoCo part on them. The P2 platform was ready to go before Ford took over.
I had one…
I miss my wagon
A volvo S60/V70R will always be a car id love to own one day, or I'd swap the motor into my p2 s60 2.5t AWD
Just found one of these parked in a parking garage in lost my mind thing was in perfect condition
Very nice car! I own a 2005 and a 2006 R manual shifted 😍😊
I don’t know, I think I just heard my 2010 XC70 T6 in the driveway start to protest when the video began.
well, that is a mk2. We have here a mk3 V70 2.5 ethanol automatic. It is just pure raw power, brutal if you like.
Not sure if previous owner made something to it, but yes it was a while in a governmental use when new.
It has its own brake check when going out or after a long drive, did not know when I bought it.
The V70R is the epitome of all muscle wagons.
RESPECT
Nice car, nice video ;)
.. If you want a sleeper.. Take the R badge off. Change the bumpers to the stock 2.4na.. xD
I've driven many cars but I've NEVER been as comfortable as in this generation of volvo
The sleeves are weak, but shimming or sleeving the block can alleviate that, there's a guy on CZcams named reddevil and he's making 804 awhp on his S60R with a big turbo on a sleeved block.
Finally getting another car so I car really dive into working on the S60R, the end game is about 500 hp, and good cooling, my suspension is already dialed in. I love it to death, I wish the angle gear was stronger, that the trans had replacement parts available, and that the car was a touch lighter. But I can correct 2/3 of those issues
So sad I sold my Magic Blue V70R. Hope to get an other one soon! Amazing car! My 850 T-5R is great to but the handling of the R is just better with the awd system. And yes, Volvo seats are know as the top of the line comfort seats in the car industrie.
T-5R is the og performance Volvo and limited edition also. That makes it a cooler car imo, no matter what.
@@DOPVolvo my 850 is unbeatable and my unicorn. I'll keep it as long as I life and then it goes to my son. But handling, the R is amazing.
@@theundertakerrx5913 damn, nice to hear 👍🏼 I want my son to have mine one day 😁
I daily a V70 R, but I definitely consider a V60 Polestar with the twincharged 2.0 4 cylinder a genuine Volvo performance wagon.
Fair perspective
shhhhh, stop talking it up. I still want to be able to afford one
NOPEW..I OWN the LAST! XC70 T6 AWD 2.9L twin asymmetric turbo, with Polestar psychotic tuning. 329bhp, 480nM torque. It is absurd, and I love it.
I've always liked these but I go with old Audis instead. Turbo 5s are wonderful!
1:46 You are wrong, the next generation after the 850R was the P80 V70R, and only then the P2 V70R.
The V70R is the car that replaced the 850R, which is true. Wording could've been better, as I said "generation after the 850r, the car that replaced the 850R". What I should've said is "the model after the 850r". My apologies! I can see how this could be confusing.
Incorrect the next gen after 850r was s70 t5 another sedan not wagon.
It used the m4.4 ecu instead of m4.3 and got lots of interior upgrades, was lighter, and had nicer grill and bumpers.
I fucking love this car!!! I currently have a 17 v60 cc (auto, gross) and it has the new 4cyl the same year v60 has the 5 cyl. Its not too bad. The r is where its at!!!!
My dad had one of these but sadly a few weeks ago we needed to sell it. It just takes money like an endless pit 🤣 but these things are fucking cool. Its the same engine as the ford focus rs mk2. The sound is godly on these
In what ways does it take alot of money? Like gas? Maintenance? Just interested what to look out for since im interested in getting one
@@username113 normal running that car wont cost you that mutch. But if something isnt right it can cost you a lot to gix it. after 240k km we needed to change a lot of stuff like headlight 2000CHF each. Coilovers 2500CHF for the back and 2500chf for the front. And it startet to take oil like a mad man what is normal for these engines. If the car is fine and runs its just great. Gas is oke normal driving it gets you about 10.5L on 100km what is acceptable.
I’ve got an S40 T5 with the m66 pushing 21 lbs of boost. Torque is ridiculous. I wouldn’t say it’s a boring car 🤣

That Spaceball shifter will never not be cool
99 was first drive by wire and exhaust cam VVT.
Watching this makes me regret selling my S60R even more now 😔
2.3 engines don't have the space between the cylinders as 2.4 and 2.5 have, Therefore are stock 2.3 engines more reliable for tuning for more horsepower.
I have a 2005 v70 t5 how good is this vehicle
Also that model/year, its one of the most stable and durable engines Volvo ever made.
Debatable... 4t4 had strong rods but weak cyl walls..
2.3 t9 had best of both worlds..
Lower compression but way more abuseable..
Volvo made a total of 9060 Volvo V70R between 2004 and 2007. 2888 of those had manual transmission, 6172 had automatic transmission.
Do you know how many V70 4T5 were made please?
@@jirinovotny535 Sorry, I just know the R-numbers.

Ohh no too many people are catching on what the p80s and p2 Rs are about!! Watch these go up now because of you
volvo isnt really boring car company. the R 2.5l engines are not as reliable as the 2.3l T5 engines that has 250hp from the crank. 2.3l T5 5cyl is the best engine to tune as stock. and it has vvt only at the exhaust side. There is so much to talk about volvo's! The list goes on and on!
I have a b5234t9 in my 98 s70 t5 manual
the whiteblock 5 cylinder gets allot of love in europe, it's a shame ford stole it and it gets maybe abit more love in focus st's and rs's and people tend to forget that it's actually a volvo unit,sound so fuckn good
Once again I see 6 speed and it’s an instant clock
I had a 6MT S60R, I miss it. Replaced a lot of rubber bushings with poly, short shifter, sway bars, 3" DP and 3" exhaust. I definitely miss it, it's quirkiness, and the glorious 5cyl wailing to redline.
My Civic Type R is a much more reliable monster, but it doesn't have the Volvo's character
Oh and Volvo has won every championship they got in with the dealer teams ore fabric team. DTM(240 turbo), BTCC(S40 5 cilinder), European Rallycross(343 turbo), WTCC (S60 turbo),..
These blocks only crack if you have a bad tune. People have made 500+ on stock liners, but the 2.3 and 2.4 are better

2:09 let's ignore the GTR in the back))
GTT :)
Audi Rs2 was the first wagon with 5 cylinders but don't think you guys got them over there
Not true. 5000, 200, S2, S4 came with turbo I5s before the RS2. 90, 100 had NA I5s. 1980s & 1990s
Volvo was deep in the PAG under ford until 2010 and the only independent carry over from before the merger was the concepts that became the first S80 and C30 the R design cars were directly under ford buddy
Sounds like a 88-93 supra 3liter turbo without the igg blow off valve
No
*laughs in v60 t6 polestar*
I’ve owned 2 of these cars auto cars but I don’t agree that it’s the best Volvo wagon
But we have to be honest, the next V70 T6 AWD was not an R and not a manual, but the better car! ;-)
My car is safe 😈
while ive always hated the look of this (all volvos' tbh, the way the rear ends just drop off looks dumb) I love seeing those blue gauges. So clean
A person with no taste I see, these Volvo's are the most beautiful thing ever.
@@mrnoisy4062 they’re literally just rectangles man. Like literally. Love the sound though.
@@SicSemperBeats Maybe that's just difference in taste, I love those sleek lines around the sides that end up in the rear, and that spoiler. There's also an S60R for ya which is just a sedan version of this!
You might not love the look (I personally do love the look) but if you own one and need to load something big in there that not loving-feeling will turn into love once you close the trunk and surprised think; ”Wow, that stuff really fit in there!”.
As an owner of both a V70R and 535xiT, both turbos, I think BMW has Volvo beat in terms performance, handling, and comfort. The Volvo's good and has been more reliable but the BMW 535xiT is a better driver.
All except safety and reliability and affordability lol.. Idk ive beaten many 335 with my 98 s70 t5
That car IS a Ford Volvo actually and it's two generations away from an 850
Ford owned them from 1999-2010
Ive got both a v70R and s60R. Annnnd mine had the rear seats just saying :) i cant fit very well in the rear seats Because im 6'2 tho 😂 but its a fun place to shove your short friends and just slam the accelerator as hard as you can and listen to them getting slammed into the rear hatch because the seatbelts cant fit around an adult waist 😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:50 you are wrong again. Ford bought Volvo in 1999 and then sold it in 2010, therefore the car you are driving is a "Ford" product.
The P2 platform was designed and developed for the 1998 S80, on which the V70 is based. Critical design of the V70 was complete before the Ford takeover. Yes, Ford had their hands on this car, but under the skin it's still made up of a whole lot of Volvo DNA :)
