I replaced my timing belt about 2 weeks ago at 73,000 miles (96 850 NA). This was the first timing belt I ever replaced, and I thought it was easy, because I followed the directions from bay13 (www.volvospeed.com). It took me about 3 1/2 hours total, because I was slow and careful, and referred back to the directions frequently. I could probably do it in about 2 hours now.

Get the belt from the dealer to make sure you have the correct one. As this is an interference engine, it's not worth the risk of putting a non-oem belt in to save $10.

Good lighting is critical - the timing marks are there, just very fine and they can be hard to see.

Good luck!
