TIMING BELT S70 1998

The general consensus is to replace the hydraulic tensioner every second (140,000 mile) belt change, leaking or not. It's (relatively) cheap. I also had the rollers replaced but not the water pump. Have you ever seen the inside of a Volvo water pump? It's a serious water pump!

As for the OP, I'm not sure how helpful Volvo might be on a 10-year old car. They weren't awfully good at fixing stuff on mine when it was under the original factory warranty.
