Ghost Shadow Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Got another Volvo C70 coupe yesterday. Opened the hood to find the engine cover all melted. Anyone have ideas on why this happened? Have you seen this before? Was curious what it could be before i tear into it. Previous owner said there was something up with the radiator. There is no coolant. Oil filter cover plastic thing fell off he said. I think the car overheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98glt-5 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Head gasket, coils, warped head and probably block since it got that hot. damn, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Shadow Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 oh fun, looks like i know what i will be doing turkey weekend. So many projects so little time. wonder if i can pull the meter crap off the coils. if it overheated then the block should be toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Riker Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 That's the most unhappy timing belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
831t5r Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Crap never seen one like that. For the cost and safety just throw another motor and be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Shadow Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Does the engine start at all? dont know, got the car late last night and took only that one picture. coil wires are all melted when i took a look this morning before work. dont expect it to start since the wires are all fuse together. That's the most unhappy timing belt can it be from a timing belt? there is no coolant in the bottle. i drove this car before this crap happened and it had a ETM that was failing with a rough idle. the radiator had a crack in it. the car drove like crap, like no power at all. since it wasnt my car then, i didnt give a shit on how it drove LOL.

Commander Riker Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah. I'm with the others. Motor swap or waste your time chasing weird problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove the head you'll likely find some melted pistons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaton85 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Just pull the whole thing an replace. That motor is scrap metal. Not even worth messing with. Timin belt as in it's probably melted as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPd Cameron Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 :lol: That's going to suck to pull off! I'm wondering if you could remove all the spark plug cover bolts, remove the timing cover bolts if you can get to them, and then try to lift off the meltiness all together? See if you can get the spark plug cover, coils and timing cover all off in one piece. Cold make for some sweet Volvo wall art... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
