Hi,

We have two S70s with low miles:

1998 S70 GLT - 49k miles
1998 S70 - 30k miles

I believe we will need to have the timing belts changed since the cars are over 6 years old. I have been reading some of the posts with some having tensioner failures later after having the timing belt done. Some say it is a judgement call on the part of the technician. My question is: What is the additional cost to just have the tensioners (mechanical or hydraulic) replaced at the same time?

Thanks in advance.
