Just got 04 S60 2.4 -- Preventive Maintenance Needs?
March 1st we bought a 2004 S60 2.4 with manual trans with 52,500 miles at a used car dealer for our daughter for $8,900......they as usual had gotten the vehicle from a local auto auction. The dealer had replaced the front brakes and a couple weeks later I took the vehicle to an independent Volvo shop to diagnose the metal-on-metal I started hearing (didn't know if it was coming from the timing belt or what.......they confirmed it was both the power steering pump and alternator which would eventually fail. They wanted $1500 to replace both so I did it myself with parts from AdvanceAutoParts and saved $900. I also changed the oil over to Mobil 1 and Volvo oil filter and put new tires on. I read the thread on timing belts so it appears that doesn't need replacing for another couple years (70,000 miles or 7 years). Likewise, assume serpentine belt should be done same schedule (70,000 miles or 7 years)? But are there any other significant preventive maintenance items that should be done on this vehicle since I don't know its maintenance history? Flush cooling system? The vehicle looks and runs great but any PM advice would be appreciated from you Volvo experts.

I'll check the engine mounts when my daughter comes home for a visit next week.......guess I didn't think, however, that the engine mounts would make the "clink" noise when the clutch is pushed in.
