Hello,

I am new to volvo (used to be a Vw dub man) but, Volvo's are much more then I thought. I just bought my 2001 S80 T6 on saturday, and I keep finding reasons to leave the house and go for a drive!!!!!!!!!

 

welcome

 

Be careful and don't strain those facial muscles with your constant grin.

 

Welcome to the forum, I hope we can be of some help.

Make sure to follow scheduled maintenance specified in the owner's manual to keep your Volvo last as long as possible. If the car came with a maintenance record, go over it and make sure that the timing belt & related pulleys & tensioners have been replaced within the last 70,000 miles or 5 years. If no record is available, have it inspected by a Master ASE technician, either at the dealer (don't let them sell you unnecessary parts /services[8D]) or an independent shop that specialises in Swedish/Euro makes. I would avoid franchise or generic town shops.

Good luck to you,


JPN
