I am going to be taking a very long trip in my 93 245 at the end of this month. My band is playing some shows and will be taking my car. I have not mapped out the miles but I believe it will be somewhere around 5-7k.It currently has about 206*** miles.
In its current state it drives great. I have never had any issues in the year of ownership. I have had many items addressed such as rear main, plugs, cap and rotor, valve's have been adjusted, breaks and rotors, diff oil in the last 4k, oil changes every 3k with Castorl GTX and Mann filter. I always fix things as they show up. It is really a nice running wagon as I really enjoy driving my Volvo
Is there anything I should do to make sure my car is ready for a long distant trip with driving with minimal breaks? I have some extra room and already have basic tools and small stash of things I already carry such as fuses, AMM, various relays, run flat, blue shop manual, tool set, safety supplies.
I plan to have my very trusted mechanic give it a good look over just because I am very busy with work up until I leave for the trip.
If you all have any specific things I should take or have done I would gladly take the advise! Like I said I already do all I can to keep up and make sure my Volvo runs well and properly.
Thanks!
