I have an '04 XC90 with the 2.5T engine. I have had no major problems with it so far (in two years I've had to replace two of the wheel bearings and the brakes; should I count myself blessed?).

I do not have the owner's manual and cannot seem to find any reliable information about when I should change the timing belt. I seem to recall the interval being more than 70,000 miles (like on my '98 V70 awd), but that's about it. The car now has about 82K miles. Any info on when it is due? (I could call the dealer, but I don't really like to do that if I can avoid it.)

the timing belt and waterpump and all pulleys to be replaced at 105,000 miles if u dont rep all pulleys they will break down and ur belt will jump causing engine damage..dealer charges aprox. 1600.00 to do i can do it for have price 800.00..i am a volvo tech..if ur in north jersey leave a message i get back to u if u wana do it when it is time..

105K miles or 10 years, which ever comes first.

If you give Volvo your email address, you can access the manual online at

http://www.volvocars.com/us/tools/OwnersInfo/Pages/VolvoOwners.aspx

OR

call the Volvo hotline and ask politely. For about $25 they will ship you one.
When I asked for a 1996 manual, they sent me a lightly used one for free!

Or call your local dealer parts person, for about $25 they will have one at the parts window.
