Good point.
Well, I mentioned the 30k mile service interval. If kept religiously, the cooling system gets attention. Did you all know that Volvo reccomends the coolant & T-stat get changed every 30k miles or 2 years? I do on all my Volvo's since 1977 when I got my first one. You would be surprised how many of the old brick owners don't, they keep running unti the car overheats, but they do everything else proper.
I have a box of t-stats which probably 80% are good, but I won't take the chance, run a radiator and block flush each time, same for transmission and brakes, every 30k miles, not 30.5k miles.
Most of the Volvo water pumps I've had lasted 200k miles with exception to the early B20 pumps, OEM radiators last about that much, too. I won't buy aftermarket pumps because they don't last.
