Timing Belt Change/Technical Service Bulletin 2210015 V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Chuck in WI on  Thu Jul 3 02:59 CST 2003 [RELATED]

My 1998 V70 is at 75,000 miles and I am looking at maintenance. I have read here that if the serial number is greater than 1266128 (per tech service bulletin 2210015) that the timing belt does not need to be changed until 100k miles. Is this true? Does anyone have access to this bulletin? I have heard that the manual was not updated for the later serial number cars. My manual says 70k or 75k --cannot remember right now. BTW, my serial number is 1311015.

Should I be planning on changing the serpentine belt (was not done at 60k) and the waterpump (two shops indicated that this would be a wise idea at this time since everything would be pulled apart for the serpentine and timing belt). If I do replace the timing belt, does it make sense to replace all tensioners, pulleys, and idlers at the same time? I see the parts list on this maintenance job adding up quickly. How much time is estimated on replacing the serpentine belt if timing belt is 2.5 hours?


What about cap/rotor? I read somewhere that these should be replaced at 50k. Car was purchased with 51k from Volvo dealer--can I assume it was done? I plan to replace the plugs with NGK platinum -- good or bad idea??

Thank you in advance,
Chuck
