Im coming up on 98k miles. Correct me if i am wrong but for my vehicle i "should" change the timing belt, tensioner, and idler pulley at 120k miles. My question is when do you guys think i should change all that, and whether or not i should change the serpentine at the same time since there is no mention of that in my service book. Thanks!

 

Timing belt change is "required" at 120k according to Volvo unless you have a PZEV engine (VIN 39 or 64), in which case it's 150k. Inspect the accessory belt - it may have been replaced prior to 105k without your knowledge (it that's possible?) and it'd be a bummer to toss a good one.

 

Sorry, forgot to give you the link. I printed mine and just placed a copy with the service manual in the glove box as a handy reference:
