Marcoda.....for a 98 V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be masher on  Wed Apr 14 08:56 CST 2004 [RELATED]

that has pretty low miles. If your car has the hydraulic tensioner then its a 70K change. Have them put in a new hydraulic tensioner at the same time. My buddys S70 was done at 70K, then at 77K the tensioner blew and so did his cylinder head! He had to fight but the dealer picked up the $3500 bill for the new head! Those hydraulic tensioners are like TIME BOMBS.....replace with the belt...you'll be glad you did. Im glad I have a late 98 with the fixed mechanical tensioner as I went to 101K before replacing with no problems!
