Biggest fear of used cars, what was actually changed?

I'd have everything changed, belt, tensioner and pullet. Mine as well do the water pump too since its right there and a good peace of mind. From there I'd change again at 200k. As my indy put it for my '07 S60: "your book says 120k, I've seen your same car have a failed tensioner at 110k, no hurt in doing it a bit early" - so I did, had it all done and the belt was reasonably cracked at 112k, peace of mind now. I will likely have it done at 200k flat just for added peace of mind. Old the car, more miles, more heat and wear and tear IMHO no worries doing it a bit earlier. Sure beats a new top end.

Reason I suggest changing it all, you never know if the previous place took a shortcut and skipped the pulley or idler to save time and bucks.

Best,
Steve
