Hi, all.

I am coming up on 60K on my 1998 S70. I have bought all the parts for the service, and will do it myself in the early spring when it gets nice out. It occured to me that the serpantine belt, which is scheduled to be replaced at 60K will need to come off again in order to replace the timing belt at 70K. So, am I going to take big chance in not replacing the serpantine belt until I am ready to do the timing belt? What are the oppinions out there? Can serpantine belt survive till 70K? Looks like a PIA to replace, so I really don't want to do it twice in a short period of time.

Thanks!
