the commissar! Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I just rolled over 190k on my 1995 850 GLT 5-Speed. What should I be thinking about replacing? Inspect it real good and do whatever needs done... If original I'd be looking at any belt, hose, elbow, filter, bushing, ball joint, moving part, and mount on the car in addition to all fluids. I know this sounds vague and all encompassing but really...the question is and the correct answer is this is all PM stuff and should be looked at frequently enough to minimize your exposure to having major problems or unexpected breakdowns. I give a through inspection to all my cars at each oil change or other required service or trip through the modification shop B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give a through inspection to all my cars at each oil change or other required service or trip through the modification shop Just to throw out what I've done recently: Changed transmission fluid (synthetic) less than 1k ago Changed Oil (synthetic) about 3k ago Inspected all belts and hoses about a month ago Changed Coolant (Volvo Coolant) a few months ago Probably should take a look at the spark plugs and wires as well as the distributor cap and rotor. Everything else appears to look good but I'll be nice and thorough. Brake pads could need replacing and I've seen a few worn out bushings. Hopefully I'll have the money for the repairs :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
