Assuming it was replaced with the 2nd belt (and also with the first for that matter!) Does it say somewhere above and search function just didn't pick it up? (Meaning I searched poorly... :roll: )

Starman, why not try the browser plug-in search engine that I made for MVS?
Go here http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engine ... sVolvoSite and click on the link that says MatthewsVolvoSite It installs a search button in later versions of I.E. and Firefox....makes looking up stuff here so much easier.

Sorry everyone...I'm off topic again.

Well, I was talking about his case in specific. Does he have other posts around or something?

Not sure I follow you....but I don't know of any other posts of his...unless he changed his name. His post number comes up each time he posts and last time I looked it was at 6 (I believe).

Ah, ok. All I'm saying is that maybe the water pump wasn't replaced with the timing belt and now it is leaking.
