I bought a similar one with 161k , with no history on maintenance. What would you recommend changing in it . It drives perfectly, just once i do a cold start it keeps humming for 10 sec then it goes away . I love your videos keep it up
Congratulations on your new purchase! It's hard to diagnose but if the humming is coming from the engine and sounds like an electrical buzz it could be the throttle body. This can be normal. As far as maintenance I would recommend getting a good scanner which can read specific Volvo codes. I believe the least expensive way to get into that is the autel ap200. It reads standard obd codes plus I believe it includes one specific make add on. For maintenance I guess I would start with safety and check the quality of the brake fluid. Purchase some test strips and flush if necessary. An often missed item is the interior cabin filter and of course oil change air filter and plugs. Another route would be to get a Carfax or similar report. Sometimes they can provide maintenance records which could give you clues. Wish you the best of luck!
