I'm soon coming up on my 90K service. Up to this point I've had the dealer do all service, but economics have changed, and I'll be doing this myself. This is well within my limits as I've built several engines, and until this Volvo (had 3 prior), have never used the Stealership. I have noted there is a lot of wise owners on this forum, and would like to get any suggestions they may wish to offer me. I'll be taking other member's suggestions and will be replacing early the timing and accessory belts, and all suggested inspections of the maunal and change out of the following :
Timing belt Tensioner
Spark Plugs (OEM)
Air Filter
Cabin Filter
Brake Fluid Flush
Anti-Freeze Change
PVC Inspect and clean (is this just blowing out the system as I read on a previous post)?
Engine Oil Change
Engine Filter Change
(Previously flushed the transmssion at 75,000)
Should I consider the front crank seal, water pump, tensioner and idler pully (or wait till the next belt service at 180,000 miles)? How about changing the power steering fluid? Seems overkill, but still....... Anything else I'm missing? Any suggestions for removing the vibration damper without Volvo tool 999 5433, or should I just buy one, and if so where? Thank you in advance oh wise ones, Ha ha!!!!!
