Wow . . .that's the pits. I'm curious if your motor uses the older hydraulic tensioner or the newer mechanical one?

When I replaced the original timing belt around 65K miles, I didn't replace either of the two pulleys. Now that I'm near 128K, I'll be replacing both pulleys, the water pump and the hydraulic tensioner, if it's leaking any oil. I've heard that the hydraulic tensioners are quite reliable and seldom fail. Not sure what Volvo's rationale was for discontinuing its use.
