I am considering purchasing a 1997 850 with 96K miles. No turbo, standard. The sticker on the engine shows the last timing belt was replaced at 46K miles.

What is the timing belt change interval for this car?
What else should be changed with the timing belt(ie water pump,tensioners,guides,pulleys etc...)?

What is the change interval for the serpentine belt?
Any other belts?

I do not know if the service records are available but do not think they are.

    Another snookered customer, the Tbelt change interval for the 94+ 850s is at 70K miles. The 1993 was at 50k MILES.
    The Volvo water pump is usually good for 180K+ miles, the tensioner rollers need to be examined for play at each belt change.
    The serp belt is usually changed at 50K miles and rollers examined, the only major problem if the serp belt breaks is if it causes the Tbelt to dislodge. Of course, the alternator and PS pump stop working, but the car can be driven to the shop.
