P2 V70 Maintenances??

Post by SimLyons »

We got our V70R (2006) in January of this year. It has only 55K miles on it and I decided to get into the first "tune up". Replaced the plugs with new Volvo R6s (originals looked great). The only other item I can find to "maintain" is the air filter (which was REALLY dirty!!). So I have a new air filter coming form IPD and new oil filters. Is there something I'm missing? (I could always clean the MAF for lack of anything else interesting)

How about ATF ... if it is an automatic?
What is the price range for 2006 V70s?

Yeah, it's auto. It was changed by first owner at 30K. The 2006 Rs seemed to be in the range of $16K to about 23K (with 30-60K miles) when we were looking and bought ours.

Oh yeah! I spend so much time with my 850R in here that I forgot to switch over. Thanks!

New CABIN FILTER
A full 60K service (check your owner's manual)
Full tranny flush
Flush brake fluid
Flush coolant
If you want to clean something, CAREFULLY (or have a pro do it) clean the throttle body, leave the MAF alone
