Timing Belt S80

I have a question on the T-belt change. On the Volvo Maint page the instructions are for an s-70(is that a straight 5?). I have a 2000 s-80 2.9 with 90K(i know it recommends a change at 105K), will the install be the same for my car as the s-70? If not are the changes major? Any feedback would be appreciated.

** Also chalk me up for a new altenator needed at 80K miles @ $600. With built in electrics there are no changable parts with the altenator. So I was told by the Stealer. Also all the symtoms of links are apparent.

      Thanks Chris, this is helpful but I was wondering if anyone had experience changing their timing belt on an s-80. If its basically the same steps as the s-70 on the volvo tech page, I would feel comfortable attempting myself but if its more involved and/or substantially different I may not attempt.

        Yes that's what it is.

        The 6-cyl S80 is somewhat more of a challenge than the 5 cyl engines. Less space and the valve gear problem (special tool advised). I do all the work I can on mine but the dealer will do my timing belt when the time comes.
