"My Chiltons all say 48000 mi, or 80000 kilometers for belt life. I did not see that in the FAQ and wonder why the difference for years as there is no difference in belts I believe, other than the kevlar."

Jerry,

For some reason the B230FD has a 100,000 mile replacement interval. At least that's what my '93 940 Owners Manual says. I think I found back-up on that a couple of years ago when there was a lot of buzz here on the subject. Try a search on lucid belt replacement for some history.

EDIT>>> THIS POST has the only possible reason I've heard for the longer timing belt interval on the FD motors.
