Is it just me, or are there some parts on our Volvos that last seemingly "forever" with no end in sight?
My '86 240 is at 332,000 miles.
Original starter.
Original alternator (brushes/voltage regulator replaced at 180,000 miles).
I got 225,000 miles out of the factory clutch.
Still have one of the original fuel pumps (can't remember if I replaced the one under the car or the one in the tank, but one of them is a factory part).
150,000+ miles on the factory waterpump, which must be a record for a B230F as they seem to fail early due to issues with the seal between the pump and the block.
Still have most of the original ignition system. Coil is original, distributor is original (except for cap & rotor).
Fuel system mostly original. Replaced the wiring harness, ECU and IAC motor. Injectors original, fuel pressure regulator original, all of the lines are original.
Brakes....have gone through three sets of front rotors and two sets of rear rotors. Replaced the front calipers once at 200,000+ miles. Rear calipers are factory. Master cylinder has been replaced. Otherwise the braking system is factory (booster, junction box thing under the car, all lines) and the car still stops on a dime.
