One follow-up question. I asked my old school mechanic who likes to work on American cars more than my car if he could replace my timing belt for me and he said as long as it is a "single overhead cam" and not a "dual overhead" one. Is my P2 a "single overhead cam"? It...

It's a straightforward job without any pitfalls if you follow the instructions. Should take less than 4 hours if you're slow and methodical. Marking the old belt with a white...

My local shop just did mine at just under 290k on my 2002 V70 2.4T. no issues so far. I would have done it myself, but time, space, and comfort were factors.
