broken timing belt 98 v70xc
Timing belt broke on my 98 v70xc while going about 35-40 mph. The car runs(ran) great with 160,000 miles on it. Can you fix by just replacing the belt?

Re: Consensus on 87 Octane in a Turbo
Are you adding the sea foam to the engine oil or fuel? My 98 v70 xc has the smoking after idle problem. Car also has a rough idle, not a high/low idle just a little rough. Currently running 93 octane with Lucas octane boost.
