Hopefully the belt did not jump enough to loose timing to the point that valve(s) hit piston. I think you should get Volvo involved, and also don't forget that small claims court is a good place to square things up. If the dealer dicks you around, file the claim in court right away. When the dealer knows you are serious, you will get a different response. It will be hard to prove that the tensioner was bad when belt was replaced, but the dealer is a buisness, and they will want to find an equitable solution. Typically small claims court does favor the consumer who shows a good arguement.
