2009 V70 D5 185 Maintenance Tips
Hi all,
Have recently bought a V70 manual approaching 190k that I need to see me through the next year if at all possible. Newly MOT’d, recent cambelt and decent maintenance history. I just did an oil and filter change with OEM stuff and I had to shell out for a split Intercooler pipe which cost a staggering amount just for the part. Anyways, what would you do/check for as routine maintenance/parts to check to keep it on the road, as budget is limited. Cheers |

Keep the oil changes up. Don’t forget about the air filter & fuel filter! Did you change these too? Do you know if the auxiliary belt & auxiliary belt tensioner was changed? Not the cam belt, I’m referring to the belt that turns the pulleys for the power steering, alternator etc. Has the a/c belt been changed? There’s a separate belt for the a/c on these cars. The reason I ask is because if the auxiliary belt snaps, it can wrap around the timing belt & destroy your engine. The same goes for the a/c belt, so its best to have fresh belts on than old worn ones to reduce the chances of this occurring.
