I would still like to find out why it was revised down to 90k. There must be many VEA cars running around with well over 100k on the original belt. Indeed many cars not being serviced by Volvo will probably not be getting their belts done if the owners are following the schedule in the service record.
Indeed if I was not in the forum and hasn't had the issues with my car, I wouldn't even be considering a timing belt for another five years at least.

I would be interested in finding out what's the minimum a dealer would do at service time and still stamp the service booklet...

Please can someone still answer why the interval has been reduced?? I have asked this on previous threads with no comments. Is the cost being to passed from the fleet user to the private buyer once the majority of cars are outside their four year company car lease plans.
Please challenge me on this assessment.

Zebster, I agree for new vehicles, but the majority of the previous generation V60's are either out of or probably nearing the end of their contract periods.

Ah, sorry. So you're suggesting that an exaggerated service interval may have been originally recommended to make VEA Volvo models appear more attractive to leasehire/fleet buyers? An interesting theory!
