Hello
Greetings from Norway! My name is Torgeir and i have been reading on the forum for some time now. I fell in love with the sound of the D24 a few years ago. My Volvo is a 740GL from 1984. Powered by the awful B230A engine (yeah i know...real men should smell diesel, and burn oil. Not run on fuel used on lawnmowers and chainsaws) But behold... I have bought a new machinist: I bought a 1989 745 original Turbodiesel Intercooler and drove it for about six months. The wire from the coldstart mechanism was torn off, but it has DEFA block heater and i installed new glowplugs. Took me 6 hours to change the last 2 whitout unmount anything around. The 745 was imorted from Belgium to Norway in 1996 and that means no EGR. Engine got a new head, injectors, gasket etc in 2004. I have heard rumors about a extremley rare crank specialy delivered for the VW LT on the German market. How awesome would that be! |

Great looking car! What do you tow with it? Did not understand your comment about the VW LT crank?

A crankshaft availible for the LT 45/55 gave longer stroke. So you got a 2.8 litre engine instead of 2.4. Found in a thread on a swedish forum: http://dcsforum.se/dieselsnack/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4766 |

I know there was also a gasoline version of the D24 for use in some LT vans. Never heard of the longer stroke diesel though. Would be great to know more info about it if you have any... |
