I have a 98 v70 GLT.

I posted earlier about noise from engine when cold.
In fears that it might be the timing belt I've done some research.
There is less than 12K miles on the existing belt.
61K miles on the car I'm assuming that the tensioner and idler were not replaced.
According to my engine serial number my engine has the hydraulic tensioner.
I noticed kits containing belt, idler, tension wheel and tensioner. If I am replacing everything anyway, will the newer style fit? The new style kit is significantly less expensive.

Also does anyone have an opinion about which version works better / lasts longer?
