RECENT TENSIONER VICTIM S70 1998

My wife's car ('98 S70 T5) stop last week. I took it to the dealer and they said that the tensioner seized up. This caused major damage to the engine about $3500 worth.

I need some help.... I am trying to make a case with Volvo and the dealership.

I got the timing belt changed at 71,000 on the recommendation of the dealership so this type of problem would not happen, but it did anyway. The car now has 108,000 miles.

The dealer called me today and said the they are not responsible due to the mileage of the car and it is far out of warranty.

Do I have a chance to get help from Volvo or the dealership? Need any direction that anyone can give me...

Thanks,
AMitchell
