HYDRAULIC TB tensioner survey S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be cn on  Sun Sep 26 09:50 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My 60K maintenance is coming up and this is just a survey re: HYDRAULIC TENSIONER.

I am planning to replace the Timing Belt @ 60K in my car, which has the older version with HYDRAULIC (not mechanical) tensioner.

From reading the old posts, a few members have the TB changed at 70K, but then at 75K the Hydraulic tensioner leaks and causes engine failure.

I know that at 120-130K the tensioner should be changed anyway but the question is:

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS BOARD HAVE HAD HYDRAULIC TENSIONER FAILURE AT 60-85k PERIOD?

Thanks in advance.
