Volvo 240 D24t Turbodiesel Engine Swap Part 1: Disassembly and Prep

In this episode, I start working on converting my Volvo 240 from the original Redblock gasser to a D24t turbodiesel from a 740, including a mini will-it-run. More of a vlog-type video, we will get back to the tech talk and whiteboard segments when it starts going back together.

Keep up the good content my guy. Still looking for a new engine for my 850 T5. I’m also going into old Audi 5 bangers this late season👍🏻

Immer wieder sehr informativ und unterhaltsam. Als Besitzer eines 940 mit diesem VW Diesel genieße ich jede Folge. Der Klang dieser Maschine ist immer wieder ein Genuß. Was ich nie verstanden habe: das Thermostat hinter dem Kühler. Sowas könne nur VW Leute bauen😬. Das Vierganggetriebe mit dem Overdrive ist eine gute Sache. Ich fuhr es bereits auch in meinem treuen 940er Turbo ohne jedes Problem. Übrigens sehr sympathisch: immer gut geerdet und mit Fingerspitzengefühl am Werkstück ohne Handschuhe und barfuß. Merke! Das Leben ist eines der gefährlichsten und endet meistens mit dem Tode😂.

Hi @bakedbeansgarage. I have a 244 d24. I drove my car about 140 miles one day, which was the longest I have driven it in a while.
I get home, park it overnight and try to start it the next day. It is extremely hard to start and it just cranks and cranks until eventually the battery dies. I spent an entire day trying to figure out what It was and my biggest lead was that it was not getting enough fuel. Looking everywhere online I was met with mixed advice and nothing that really lined up with what my car was like.
Is it possible that overnight that my injection pump lost prime and it simply cannot draw fresh fuel to the injectors? If so can I reprime it but using suction at the return hose on the Injection pump.
Thankful for any advice. This is my only vehicle and I have no way to get to work unless I fix it soon.

Is the front engine crossmember for the redblock the same as for the D24?

[s.encode]

Morning Buddy! Are you interested in doing some product review projects? Check the dialog! Talk about more details.🤝

[Askethanoras]

the front light is know as the ''American front''

Please go with the M46. The M46 is much more likely to take a burnout than an M47.

[ringbergaren]

do you sell parts do different countries?

[evanreid]

I would stick with the M46, M47 bellhousings are much harder to find anyway and are weaker transmissions. I know a guy you could get an m46 bellhousing for a d24 for about $200, i got my m46 bellhousing from him for my 765 d24t swap

Ya see, where you went wrong there was not licking your fingers prior to grabbing the live distributor cap.

[jrk]

where do we get some of that sweet merch?

[barkster]

do you know if the turbo oil return pipe is the same one from the 1.6 diesel golf?

[incognitocsgo]

Hi! How do I get in touch with you regarding selling parts for other countries? Any E-Mail where I can reach you, since I can't seem to find any DM option here on youtube?
