Do you have the Volvo plug cover? It does neaten things up on the top of the engine.

I put braided-hose in one PCV. Way over Volvo spec, but still cheaper than any Volvo item. This route requires more thought, yet beats working to pay dealer prices. Where does anyone think dealers get stuff from?

This will all be sorted in time - big and important stuff first (= PCV, timing belt service, oil and filters etc..). |

Very nice one! Like it!
About the timing belt, interval for changing is 8 years or 120000km. And to keep it due to low mileage is no good idea! It is aging and you can not look inside! So replace it after 8 years, whatever mileage it has. And take original from a Volvodealer or a belt from a reliable dealer. In the internet you can get a belt that was on stock for many years and such one is not better than the old one! The belt is 23mm, the 21mm was only for very early engines. And some aftermarket waterpumps have a impeller made of plastic. They can break and you have lots of fun! So make sure you get one with a impeller made of metal.
