Hello, all.

I just flew to Houston and drove my new '93 240 wagon back to NC. 1400 miles and it did great. However, I have a couple of questions.
1) It has a B230FD engine (round tooth timing belt), and the owner's manual recommends changing it every 100,000 miles. The Volvo shops around here stick with 50K. It is okay to run it to 100K before changing it?
2) When letting the gas off at highway speeds OR turning the OD off when going down hill OR sometimes on bumpy roads, there is a groaning noise (more of a feeling than a noise) under the front of the car. It almost sounds like a bushing needs replacing. Could it be a motor or transmission mount?

Thanks ahead of time!
Denis
