S70 T5 Timing Belt Tensioner + Pulley S70

posted by  someone claiming to be yellowtail on  Tue Sep 26 03:02 CST 2006 [RELATED]


I have an S70 T5 with 150k miles on it and I am going to replace the timing belt after 60k miles. Do I need to replace the automatic tensioner and the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley also??

Also, what is the replacement interval for the water pump? I still have the original!!

Thanks,
yt

    The timing belt interval is 70K for 1998 and 102K for newer cars with coil over plug technology.
    Normal life span is around 180K for a water pump, according to what I have heard here. You could check the water pump pully to see if it is getting loose by wiggling it. Just remember, if the pump goes, the belt might go too.
    The tensioner and other pulleys are usually good for 140K miles on a 1998. The tensioner for 1999 > must be replaced with the belt.
