Timing belt change - Haynes vs. Bay 13 S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter Schauss on  Sat Nov 3 06:16 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Reviewing the instructions for changing a timing belt in the Haynes

Manual and on the Bay 13 web page I notice that Bay 13 gives detailed

instructions on how to remove and compress the hydraulic tensioner.

Haynes makes no mention of this procedure. The Haynes manual

describes how to use a 6mm allen wrench to release the tensioner

when removing and replacing the belt.

Which directions are correct for my car (1999 S70 )?

Our S70 has 66k miles on it. I had assumed that I could wait until

105k before replacing the timing belt, but the recent thread here

has convinced me to err on the side of caution and replace the belt

at 70k.
