Replacing Thermostats at 70K miles, FYI only. 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be John O on  Wed Dec 6 00:03 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Being that I'm now seeing ALOT of thermostat related threads here, I'll inform you that it's written (in a SB I believe) that Volvo recommends replacing your thermostat at 70K mile intervals. If your car has that or over, it's adviseable to replace it to elimate possible problems with it and oddly that's about the mileage when I see most failing.

The part (comes with new seal) is inexpensive and easy to replace as well.

This info is NOT written in any dealer service literature (like a 70K maintenance sheet) nor is it written in your owners manual. I posted this FYI only.
