Well, I just had the timing belt change done on my 98 V70R Wagon AWD with fixed mechanical tensioner at 102K miles and the old belt still looked dam good. This only confirms that the 70K belt change interval is nothing more than a SERVICE REVENUE GENERATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a bunch of crap and I knew it. Being in the office product industry we also do the same to generate revenue!!!! So for those of you thinking the belt will self explode after 70,001 miles---relax!! Or then again, bend over and let Volvo stick it to ya!!!!!!
