Detailed Maintenance Sched? ‘07 v70 140k

Post by OliPhant »

Hello,
V70 P2 140k - Sensors are failing regularly. And I’d like to start replacing them before they go.

Is there a thorough, detailed maintenance schedule for the P2? One that addresses sensors, and other small critical stuff?
Thanks!

At that age and mileage I’d simply replace every fluid (brake, transmission, power steering, coolant, etc). Worth considering changing all the coolant hoses depending on condition of them. Timing belt every 10yrs/100k. Water pump, cam seals and idlers/tensioner at 200k. Change oil at 5k miles max to keep PCV system healthy. Suspension is a preference thing.

Krons, solid advice, but failing sensors are the problem. Many are inexpensive and easy to replace. So I’d imagined a schedule that lists the sensors, and their typical lifespan. So I can replace before they fail. Ty.

Cam, Crank, O2, Ignition Coils are main ones that come to mind.
