I am about to perform my first timing belt replacement after reading the bay 13 notes it looks pretty easy.. just time consuming. car has 137k miles on it, first belt replaced at 70k by dealer as it was still under warantee. question: do most people replace the waterpump and tensioner as well? since i'm in there i thought it was probably a good idea. what about any other parts, like the pulley. etc.

    Tensioners must be swapped at 130. Do you trust the water pump lasting until 200,000 miles? Didn't think so.

    Definitely replace the tensioner. There are mixed thoughts about the water pump, but if it seizes, there goes your engine. Same with the two pulleys. My indy recommends changing out everything every other t-belt change. Thats what I did...

        Check this out...should describe the parts you need: http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo850timing.htm

        There are (besides the belt):
        1. Idler pulley
        2. Tensioner dampener
        3. Tensioner pulley

        These should all be replace with every other TB change along with the water pump.
        The engine serial number is stamped on a sticker on the TB cover. If it's not there, you should be able to get it from the VIN# (call the dealer with it).
