For another 70K, I would insist they replace the tensioner if its the hydraulic style. Check your VIN like Ray indicates. My buddies 98 S70's hydraulic tensioner blew at 78K miles AFTER VOLVO DID THE 70K BELT CHANGE!!!! It was a major fight but he got volvo to swallow the $3500 bill for head damage! Its money well spent. Probably another $100 tops!
