Hi Steve, you don’t mention the mileage but if it’s an auto then read up on the process for changing the gearbox fluid via multiple drain and fills.
Also I’d recommend picking up a diagnostic unit (Vida / dice) - a helpful chap on this forum sells them who many of us can recommend. Some details and pics of lots of other common maintenance tasks on my thread here which might help. ![]() https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=302878 All the best, Stu

EGR, Easy, worth it, Throttle butterfly, Same... Chances are, you will have a long era of black crud accumulated. Thankfully, it is solid, not like merc engines who have leaky turbo seals that turn the black crud to sludge.
Flaps if you are feeling clever. I will let you know when I get my car back about the buttons. |
