Hello, just recently took the plunge into my first FWD Volvo, having owned 2 240's and 4 700/900 series. I have done several timing belt changes on the venerable B230, but this will be my first time on this engine.

How difficult will it be to change given previous RWD experience? I plan to follow the Bay 13 procedure. Should I do the tensioner also?

Thoughts and Tips greatly appreciated. Looking forward to the FWD experience, but a little scared by what I read hear can go wrong as compared to a RWD.

Tom
