Timing belt @ 30k miles? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 97 T5 on  Tue Oct 26 03:20 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 1997 850 T5 wagon. It has 30k miles. I performed the 30k service myself.
Took it in for the gas tank recall and the dealer is recommending replacing the timing belt (7 years old).

Anyone have experience with the belt deteriorating over 7 years...or is mileage a better gauge than age?

Thanks for your input Volvo people.
