Thanks guys, looks like I'll be getting the timing belt replaced when I take the Volvo in for an oil change next time. The car is 7 years old, and although it only has 39k miles, the engine compartment is extremely dirty and dusty, also the exhaust tip is rusting, which indicates it's been thru alot of harsh weather and stuff, despite the lower miles. You guys are right, better safe than sorry!

One more thing, if I get the timing belt replaced, is there a possibility of gaining a little performance, like when it was brand new since the newer belt will be tighter?
