timing adjustment needed on my volvo 240? 200

Your earlier post says the belt now has 25K on it. With no major oil leaks it is probably OK. But if the required post-install tensioner adjustment at 600 miles wasn't done 25K ago, normal early life belt stretch may have caused it to finally jump a tooth or two.

My son experienced this on sudden decelleration when he almost missed a thruway exit. The belt jumped so many teeth it had to be towed. As I recall, he just retimed it.
