Greetings from SoCal
Hello everyone.
I'm taking over my dad's old 1982 245 Diesel wagon and looking forward to driving it for a long time to come. Dad bought it new in 1982; it was his daily driver until he couldn't drive any longer. So it is a one-owner, well-maintained, always-garaged creampuff. The bad news is it has only had a few hundred miles in the last 10 years, which isn't easy on a car. So I'm looking forward to working through all the issues I'm sure I'll encounter. In the meantime, here's a recent photo. --Tom in SoCal |

Welcome!
That's a nice looking wagon. How many miles are on it? First things I would do before too many miles get put on it: timing belt, water pump, timing belt idler pulley. Valve adjustment? Check all hoses.

The car has 105,000 miles on it. The timing belts, water pump, etc was replaced shortly before dad got sick; so they have just a few miles on them. So while the miles are low, they are 11 years old. I understand the risks associated with a belt failure but I'm willing to take the risk while I sort thru the rest of the car to get a good handle on the overall condition of the car. I'll be taking it to a Volvo specialist for a once-over soon. -Tom in SoCal |
