Hi Steve!

This happened at 140K miles.
The belt was replaced at 50K and 100K.
The tensioner pulley should have been. Shame on me!
The belt did not fail. A lesson learned. Although Volvo performed
the R&R I really doubt that there is any recourse here.

The engine simply spun freely when my wife cranked it over.

A "coasting" valve train needs considerably less turning moment to
keep it moving than one that is stopped. Hence, the belt slipped only
on the startup condition. When I took the cover off the pulley fell out
with ball bearing scattered about.

Also another word to the wise. If you hear a squeeling noise and cannot fix
it by replacing the accessory drive belt tensioner or by replacing the accessory belt idler pulley.......... it is time to start looking a little
deeper into the system.

This is why wisdom comes with age.......
