For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt and tensioner must be replaced
every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
Fuel system cap, tank and lines and connections
The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leakfree system. Check for
proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring type seals.
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine") may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use
only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
Fuel (line) filter
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the fuel line filter should be replaced at 105,000
miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as one complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is
introduced into the tank (or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred).
PCV system
The orifice nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be
inspected at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) and thereafter, at 30,000 mile (48,000 km) intervals.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at 15,000 mile (24,000 km) intervals. Volvo recommends replacing the
filter more often if the car is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should
always be replaced with a new one.

Oil quality
Meeting API specification SJ, SJ/CF, or SJ/Energy Conserving.
For best fuel economy and engine protection, consult your authorized Volvo retailer for recommended oils. Oil with a
different quality rating may not provide adequate engine protection.
Synthetic oils complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for: driving in areas of sustained temperature
extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances or for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
Extra oil additives must not be used unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer.

The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precautions must be followed to
prevent injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
· Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
· Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may result in unintended
movements and body injury.
Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving
may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the right
type and use correct torque, see "Specifications". When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in
good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced. When changing the spark plugs, clean the
terminals and the rubber seals.
