Thanks for the help. The shop where I'm taking it says they "specialize in European cars" and has a big Volvo sign outside, so I hope they have the proper equipment. I haven't heard anything negative about them, but usually when a relatively young female comes into an auto shop and doesn't possess a great deal of mechanical knowledge, her bill mysteriously goes up! I just wanted to be able to have an idea of something that it *could* be and what to expect when I take it in. The closest dealership is 50+ miles from here.

The timing belt was replaced at 69000 miles. It has 88,700 miles now.

You would LAUGH so hard if I were to attach my vocalization to the message!! Imagine a combination of a southern accent and "putt...putt...putt..."

And I wonder why a mechanic wouldn't take me seriously...
