Do it yourself.... S70

>Volvo does not require to flush the system then why do it?
Because the reason that there is no service interval for the coolant and the trans oil is so that Volvos get good "Cost of ownership" numbers?

If you change the coolant you reduce the risk of corrosion, leakage and waterpump brekage.

Hard to say what is a good interval however. But "never" is to long I think. But when you fix the leak or broken waterpump it kinda solves itself since you have to drain the system to do it :-)
