Anyone known/heard of t-belt snapping before 70k? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be dhohman on  Mon Dec 30 08:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi,

I had my timing belt snap on my 1993 850 GLT at 98,000 miles, just 2,000 before my next service. Volvo dealer here in CA quoted me $8500 for repairs as I had to have a valve job done, etc. I got it done at an independent Volvo mechanic for $3500. I'm now replacing my timing belt every 40,000 instead of the 50,000 recommended. It's much much cheaper to replace it than to fix half or all of your engine. I heard this is not unusual for the 93 850s...
