I'm finding these posts interesting, if TOO LATE for me. I have a 98 V70XC AWD. The tensioner snapped at 68K, a few months after my mechanic did a thorough 60K factory recommended maintenance (at 62K). They're Volvo specialists for 20 yrs with a good rep. All the valves crashed and needed replaced. Cost me $5,000.00 because they had to go back in and replace one they said they missed. I now use a different mechanic. I now have 102K on the car. You're all saying the belts/tensioner should be replaced every 70K min. So do I have this done again at 140K or do it earlier? Don't want to get burned twice.
