  • the 1990s was the end of an era for cars like this one. In my oppinion these are some of the best cars ever built, so I just had to do a review of my 940 before I sold it.
    The replacement car is gonna be a lot more fun and a bit more odd/controversial. Stay tuned to see what it is.

    My half-brothers father had a 1994 red 940 Turbo. We borrowed it and drove it on a 1000 km trip to my relatives in the far north of Sweden in 1996 (if I remember correctly). It was a great car, very comfortable, quiet and smooth on the road.

    One bad thing about 940s- they have transmission lines going all the way toward the radiator that fail, and due to the length of the 2 lines, they have a part#, but are no longer available from anyone. I was lucky enough to have an old Volvo mechanic in the Chicago area that did the best he could do and they don’t leak anymore…for now. He retired and if those lines start leaking again, will be a parts car. 93 945 235,000 miles. Non-turbo 😢. You can’t find the turbos in the US for sale anymore. 2nd 945, also have had a 855T (fun!) and a 964. Loved that Porsche-designed engine. Unfortunately American drivers are freaking horrible and others totaled my last 3. Wish mine was a Turbo. My 855T was so fun to drive. The 964, as well. Thanks for the video.

      I've got a trans leak on my 945T currently that I can't pinpoint. I'll have to check out those lines!

    Wow... I've always seen a Volvo 940 to be a huge vehicle from EU on any given road... But your height simply dwarfs your Volvo 940 into a Mini Cooper 😱... Can I assume you're about 6'5" or 6'7"?
    Nevertheless, great, honest & informative video content 🏆... Keep it up 👍

      Org koppling samt vxllåda klarar ca. 250-300hk beroende på vem man frågar samt hur den körs. För T3/T4 är de nog smartast att uppgradera pumpen. På fulltryckare som denna är dock klarar pumpen lite mer, går säkert att ladda upp till 1,0 på 19t. Ska börja med ett 940 bygge snart dock där jag ska trimma o kommer då gå igenom allt o se vad som fungerar för min osv. Bara att prenumerera så får du se så fort jag lyckats köpa en!
