Timing belt replacement S60 2001

I have been performing the various steps of a 96000km/60,000 mile service. The car's in-service date was June 2001, but it was built in November 2000 (as I recall).

As I was replacing the spark plugs, I noticed very fine cracking on the top surface of the timing belt. Combined with suggestions that I've seen that recommend replacing after 5 years, I think I need to change it before I put the new serpentine belt on.

The big question; do I just do the t-belt, or the tensioner as well? Also, is there anything different about replacing this belt relative to the 850s? Do I need a special tool, etc.? I can't find instructions specific to this car.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Albert.

    IPD has a nice little cam locking tool which makes things much easier. The tensioner can be a problem getting it right. It is temperature dependent.

    It has the manual tensioner, so it should be replaced with the belt. However, these are suppose to go until 105K miles for the first change. Follow the instructions for the S/V70 with the manual tensioner ('99 and newer). I believe that these are not much differen than them. You say small cracks...guess this would be a concern. Here's a link for parts:
