Does anyone on the forum know what it should cost me to have the timing belt replaced on my 2000 Volvo S80. It has 99,000 miles and so far has been a good car. i'm trying to make a decision whether it worth getting fixed. I will appreciate all suggestions given. I'm in a dilemma!

 

I don't remember the quotes I've seen in the past for the timing belt replacement. I believe that they recommend replacing a few other parts while they are at it so it could end up being a little expensive. For some reason $600 is stuck in my head, but don't quote me on that one.

As for cost effective, the belts are supposed to be rated out to 115,000 miles, although that doesn't always happen. So if you replace this now and keep up on your other maintenance you should be good to go for many miles more!

 

Thanks for the reply. The dealership is looking at it now. I'll keep you informed.
