I'm going to be replacing the four accessory belts, upper and lower radiator hoses, timing belt and maybe the accessory bushings on my 1986 240 wagon. Are the genuine Volvo parts from the Volvo dealer any better than parts from IPD, FCP Groton, etc? I'm certain that some are exactly the same. I've read on this forum that the poly bushings from IPD are better than the poly bushings from FCP Groton.

Accessory and timing belts are all alike, so buy a name brand from an aftermarket supplier. The polyurethane accessory bushings from IPD are superb and not much more than OEM cheapie rubber bushings. Avoid IPD poly bushings (my personal experience). The Volvo hoses are superb and much better than aftermarket.
