My New Volvo - What should I do next in terms of maintenance 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Wayne on  Thu Jan 30 06:14 CST 2003 [RELATED]

A lot of us do much of our own work and/or have trusted mechanics to keep our cars happy. These cars are actually pretty easy to work on, easier in my opinion than the Hondas and Mazdas I have owned. If you are mechanically inclined, the key is knowing your limits. I for one, will not change a timing belt- too much downside if I mess it up. But I will take the driver seat apart to replace the heating element or seat adjustment cable.

My word of advice is to fix things immediately when they break. Letting the items build up makes it seem like you're driving a POS and not too many people like driving a POS.
