Hi everyone Id like your suggestion. I am about to buy a volvo s70 glt with 150,000 miles on it. the only problem so far is that the car is 150k miles and last time the timing belt has been changed is at 85000 miles. I am surprised how the owner is still driving. I got a hell of a deal on it but is it dangerous to drive these cars with for a while even if the timing belt is 65,000miles old? thanks

Replying to: prosperc (Aug 30, 2009 8:33 pm) Why are the valves hitting?? And WHAT are they hitting? If that is the case, something is out of alignment and really should be fixed immediately. What garage is telling you this? Is it one that specializes in Volvos?

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 31, 2009 7:13 am) well the garage is not specialized in volvos but he knows how to fix them ( he was working on a 850 when I went to see him ) . He is the one who told me that it could last even in this situation. I went to another garagist who never works on volvos. This one told me that valves are knoking on the metal and that it wont take long before the engine is out of order. I don't know who I should trust but the car makes this noise since a little bit more than 1 year. Its a metal on metal noise. It's not very loud but when you are outside the car you can hear it clearly. If the car lasts one more year like that it would be great, if not well I'm in trouble...

Replying to: volvomax (Sep 02, 2009 12:29 pm) Next week i'll take it to a volvo garage, but in your opinion can it last for few months like that ? Some mecanics tell me that it can , some others tell me " you should not use the car anymore it's dangerous. " Since it lasted with that noise for 1 year at least, I guess it won't be a problem for the next months.. Anyways thanks for all your help
