John,

I believe both of our cars are late '98 S70 models. Is it the last 7 digits of the VIN number that determines that?

If ours are both indeed equipped with the mechanical tensioners and both cars have low miles (30k and 50k) when would it be advisable to change the timing belts? I have read somewhere that the belt ages with time.

Thanks again.
