Hey guys,

My new S70 is at 112K km (70K mi), which according to the serivce book is the 1st timing belt change. I read about the mid year tensioner change and my car was built in 4/98 (I think), so I decided to check what tensioner it had and take a look at the t-belt while I was there. When I removed the front cover I noticed some plastic pieces laying below the water pump and also one thin little (maybe 1/2 inch) piece of aluminum. I couldn't see anything wrong so I just brushed the pieces out with a screwdriver and put the cover back on. Oh, by the way, my car has the newer style mechanical tensioner. I called my Vo mechanic this morn and told him what I found when I took the t-belt cover off. I'm going to drop the car off at his shop tonight so he can look tomorrow to see where the pieces came from. Hopefully it's nothing important! I posted it here because I'm wondering if anyone here has ever seen something similar?
