And that it needs to be removed from the car to be properly greased. No youtube video spotted of anybody doing that. I'll give it a shot someday. When i had my belt out last week i checked the driven components for noise. The tensioner seemed to have the most play of all the components. Here we go about 25% down . http://www.volvotips.com/index.php/850-2/volvo-850-s70-v70-c70-service-repair-manual/volvo-850-maintenance-information/

    Greasing the tensioner for 1994+ engines is NOT required, nor would I ever do that. A loose or sloppy pulley needs to be replaced, not greased which would only mask the play for a little bit.

      30k mile mark was probably hit 20 years ago. Greasing a part like that seems like something out a of a 60's manual (like my MGA's manual).
