Volvo Repair: general vovlo maintainance, datsun 260z, aluminum wheels


Question
1986 Volvo 760turbo, approx. 280,000miles
As a new owner of an old car I know to replace all the replacables first: timing belt, water pump, oilfilter, change oil/transmission fluid, bleed brakes, et cetera. I've worked on anything from a '65 Impala to a '74 Datsun 260Z. I prefer older cars with few electronics, but what I don't know I'm willing to learn. I was wondering if this model of car requires anything out of the ordinary.

Answer
Hi,
     I can't think of any areas of special interest that relate to your 760turbo maintenence needs.
         Transmission oil(Auto) needs to be changed every 25 to 35,000 miles..use the correct fluid.
         Aluminum wheels often leak at the bead...check tires for leaks...What are you going to do with the headliner problem?
              Happy Motoring,
