if it leaks oil, that's what got the belt, conditioner or not. replace the seals and spin the tensioner. if it's noisy, replace it. a tired tensioner will be under more stress with a new belt.

everything has to be set up again, but volvo marks the belts and the pulleys, so it's virtually idiot proof-no offense. just be very careful pulling the crank pulley and the stuff behind it. go slow and stack it behind you as you pull it off. don't flip anything over, straight off and over. the crank gear and guides will go on wrong without too much effort. and you may not find out it's wrong until you start it and it comes apart. use blue loctite on the big bolt and the cam gear bolts. if you get a book, and you should get a bentley, make sure you read the b230 section, the earlier cars are different on the crank. good luck, chuck.
