Timing belt change frequency 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Owner on  Sun Apr 6 05:39 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I own a 95 960, and have been faced with the same problem. It seems volvo has had several different change intervals for the 960: 50k, 60k, and now 120k. I called Volvo Canada, and three dealerships to confirm, and it appears that 120k is the specified interval for my 960. You might be wise to check with your national office and several dealerships for their thoughts. However, that being said, if it does go, it will likely destroy the pistons, valves, possibly score the cylendar walls, and if severe enough, could warp the engine head. I have several associates who spent approx $5,500 on the rebuild beccause they waited too long to change the belt. Even though he 120k may be recommended, I change mine at 90k or 100k. Better safe than sorry! Hope this helps.
