You mean the transmission fluid should be changed? Yes, every 60k miles or 100km, the transmission fluid should be drained and refilled. Dealership charges probably around US dollars $189.99. If you are talking about having the timing belt changed, then no, the mileage is still low enough and I bet that it is fine. You can pull back the plastic cover on the side of the engine and look at the timing belt yourself. It's actually very quite simple to do. If it looks black and not faded, it should be fine. BUT, if there are tiny cracks in it or the belt itself is starting to shred, CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY! Hope this helps. Owners manual for Volvos say that the timing belt should be changed every 60k/100km, but Ive had Volvos all growing up and 99% of Volvo Mechanics say that the belts can go at least 100k/160km. My 2004 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD went 128,500 miles and 10 years before my Volvo Mechanic said it was time. It all depends on several different factors, but realistically, you probably will be fine for another 25km at least.

SOURCE: Changing the mileage clocks

push in on the little mileage reset knob and hold it in for a couple seconds.  Works on cars other than Renault ... hopefully there too.

How tor eplace timing belt

good luck on this one the timing belt on Volvo is very important & IMHO I would not attempt this as if it go's or not fitted correctly your talking big bill to repair I had my dealer do mine the kit consists of timing belt , adjuster & jockey wheel, & its advisable depending on mileage to change the water pump also to change the aux belt along with its adjuster & jockey & to check free wheeling pulley if on your model & I believe that Volvo say 108,000 miles or 6 years old whatever comes first for this service hope this helps

Hi i have just changed the speedometer and the kilometer are not ligting , how do i enable them

Do you mean you changed the speedometer and the mileage is not showing? You will have to bring it to a dealer to have it reprogrammed. This system is to prevent you from changing out the mileage display and showing lower mileage for the vehicle.

Today,i sought technical check of AC by auto electrician & told me that the compressor is weak & can not repaired & must buy a new one ,is it true that no body can repair AC to buy AC...

Well there are places you can trade them in on rebuilt, try autozone or advance, expect to give them your old one and a few hundred dollars. And then you can also get another used one, albeit with lower mileage, from a junk yard or on ebay. Often identical compressors are on several years and models of cars, and if you can find the youngest one in terms of age and mileage which will fit you can save some money, but then you are putting a used part in.

Buying a '94 Volvo 940 GL auto

Hi!

Im from the "land of volvo" sweden, and ive worked as a mecanik for 8 years, and i have NEVER ever had a customer who serverd his/her car every month, and never ever have i heard anyone else sya that they had. So maybe that woman had her car washed every month, thats normal...but she dident had the car on service every month, thats overkill so to say. Once in a year or every 20 000 kilometers is the normal service intervall. And the big sercice is when the volvo has run 140-150 000 kilometers. And thats the expenisve big service when you get a lot of parts replaced on the motor. Otherwise the normal service once a year or 20 000 kilometers is changing oli, changing filters, check on the breakes,check the tires, check the lamps etc.

I hope this info is usefull for you
Good luck
Nic

BTW, Volvo is a very very good and trusted car and wonderfull to drive
