I cleaned the crankcase breather box yesterday.
The removal and installation was easier than i thought.

Before the +T I noticed oil leaking out of the oil cap from time to time. After the +T there was a bit of blue smoke for 1-2 seconds sometimes (on a really hot day), but no oil leaking out of the oil cap.

I just hooked up the garden hose to the outlet. It all shot out in a matter of seconds! Probably has never been cleaned. I then flushed it with diesel and left it to dry in the sun.

There was no blue smoke at all on a two hour drive and the idle is much smoother (I could just imagine it).

I'll probably delete the fan anyway. So you can pad the engine without breaking your fingers! Just watch out for that timing belt.

Minty fresh. Good work

Brotkasten · 06-05-2018, 05:04 PM

Installed the oil cooler today.

It's a cheap (160$) ebay one with a thermostat set to ~80°C.

The cooler itself looks and feels to be of really high quality!

The sandwich plate came with a 3/4" extension the the filter thread. To gain clearance with the motor mount I had to use a OC606 oil filter (thank you MadDog!). If your oil filter is relocated there is no reason for that.

The hose was a bit short (40") so my mounting has to wait until I get extensions.

Conclusion:

The water temp gauge stays a tiny bit upfront the middle position while cruising. On load it centers and then quickly returns when off load.

I'm thinking I could maybe even repair the broken one...

It looks rat without one tho

MadDog_945 · 06-06-2018, 05:20 PM

and it functions rat without one.. even worse when you have no belt cover

iHateVolvoPeople · 06-07-2018, 06:08 PM

Hey man looking good! Quick question, is that oil cooler a direct bolt on to the block, have a link to it? My car is in need of a cooler bad..Wondering if it'll clear the mount on a 240 with the big mann filter. I was worried about a universal oil cooler not having the correct length and thread pitch bolt for the cooler>block.

Brotkasten · 06-07-2018, 06:50 PM

The oil filter has a 3/4" thread. My kit (as most of them) had that sized thread extension . You will need the OC606 filter if you dont have the relocation mount that turbos have.

Brotkasten · 06-07-2018, 07:02 PM

Found the link.
It's a German seller tho.

iHateVolvoPeople · 06-08-2018, 03:29 PM

Thanks man. I think it’s different on a 240 mount but I’ll have to look.

Brotkasten · 06-09-2018, 04:40 PM

For the record: The left on is the old ecu and the right one the new turbo one. Works perfect!

Brotkasten · 06-15-2018, 02:56 AM

I have the opportunity to get 4 25mm 5x108 spacers really cheap along with some 17" steel rims and Volvo original hub caps.

I think my black Hydras w/o hub caps and 25mm spacers would look nice

I will post some pics once i picked them up in Bielefeld (if that town even exists) later this weekend!

MadDog_945 · 06-15-2018, 05:12 AM

haha.. the set from ebayklein? ;)

Yes

The spacers alone make up for half the price

Brotkasten · 06-16-2018, 06:06 PM

I got the wheels:

I will have to repaint them and get some new bolts.

MadDog_945 · 06-16-2018, 06:42 PM

nice big hubcaps would look awesome to it.. but for my taste they need more bed ;)
