Hello, all,

I'm back in the States following four years in Japan (Navy). I just pulled my '99 S80 T6 out of the storage facility (contract said they started it once per month). Car has 70K on it. Took it to Volvo dealership for cracked turn signal and mandatory registration inspection. Car passes inspection, so no issue there. However, dealership guy recommends timing belt replacement. His rationale: belt good for 105K miles or 10 years. It's been ten years, and it was in storage.

So replace the timing belt now and have that piece of mind? Or is this overly conservative?

Thing ran perfectly from Edison, NJ where I picked it up, to Newport, RI.

Thanks.

Carol
