Mine appears fine for being on an 06 with 83k miles but seeing as how I am doing alot of work to my R and hearing / reading horror stories on hear about changing it at 70k and tensioners failing I figured for 225.00 in parts to change out both belts, both tensioners and the idler pulley why not?
 
Volvo has released updated timing belt intervals in VolvoTechinfo.com This is what the dealers will go by.

Here is what they don't tell you. Your belt wasn't made when the car was. In a lot of cases it was sitting in a parts bin for months or longer.

10 years is gracious. I'd do it before then. i'll be doing that entire job next year and mine is an 06.

$600 or $6000.....easy math.
Very easy math indeed! :)
 
LOL! I know even though I have 83k like many on here my R is so far beyond stock that the most I would get would get would be a condolence letter and a bill.
