i have had a few of these xc90 projects. Been paying $600 for them. One thing i noticed is that the stereo, are fiber optics, and a pain in the ass to replace; they often start to go whacky, and cause a battery drain... so look into that.

You're welcome. I've done a number of timing belts on many volvos since this write up, s40, various s80 years, and even the xc70 looks generally the same.

Good tips. Good Post! Thanks~
