Wink Timming belt

Questions here.
I just purchased 2000 S70 non turbo with 108,000 miles on it.
I'm thinking change timing belt and serpentine belt by myself.
Questions I have.
Where can get belts for reasonable and good belts?
Do I have to change Idler and pensioner too?
Thanks in advance.

Check the top of this page. There is a logo for FPC Groton. Click on it. They have kits. There are several on-line Volvo suppliers. Hint: FCP puts their kits on ebay for less than they sell them on their website. Don't buy junk. Most suppliers will mark their stuff as original Volvo equipment, or as aftermarket.

Thanks again placer61.
I just put an order of Timing belt kits and Serpentine belt together from FCP.
This will be first try on this engine but I think I can handle it.
If I have any question I'll bug you guys, Peace!

check your belt tensioner, if you have a manual one...it would be a good idea to replace it with an automatic one. This would also be a good time to replace your water pump.
