Hi all, currently on my third Volvo, this one is a high mileage '64 plate V70 181bhp and I am trying to find out when the timing belt needs changing?

I spoke to the original dealer with who all the serving was done previously and they first said it didn't have a timing belt(?!) then said it did and needed doing at 108,000miles, but then said 144,000miles...does anyone know which is definitely correct? I have searched the internet and everything says generally 108000 but I can't find anything for this specific engine.

If it is definitely 108000 then they should have done it as they did that service, but on the same call they said they haven't done it (which could be why they suddenly changed from saying it needed doing at 108000 to 144000 as the latter is now out of their remit).

Any advice greatly appreciated. The car is a bit of a shed so I'm sure I'll be back!
