why the 70K rule for the timing belt?

posted by  someone claiming to be driver8 on  Tue Oct 10 03:54 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Curious, I changed my belt yesterday with 160K on my 98 S70. I went 85K on this belt and when I removed it, it looked in as good of condition as my new belt. No cracks or anything. Is the reason for the change due to internal breakdown of the belt? or is it just a genearl maintenance thing. I wonder if we could get away with periodic inspections of the belt by removing the cover and looking for cracks, etc.

Anybody ever replace the belt and see their old one in bad shape? Maybe it is just internal breakdown and the thing just snaps one day?
