Below is a photo I took prior to removing the TB - no solenoids or wires visible so probably no VVT. Thanks for the clarification.
I purchased the IPD cam locking tool when I did this job the first time, and fortunately I still had it in my auto repair box. Yes, locking the cams is VERY important.

99 S70 Timing Belt.pdfMadeInJapan wrote: ↑03 Nov 2009, 15:48 The main difference is that when you turn your engine clockwise, you need to go past the upper marks by 1/4 of a turn AND THEN GO BACK Counter clockwise to the marks before you take the belt off. I'm providing a pdf from VADIS that details things better.99 S70 Timing Belt.pdf Btw, you don't need anti-seize. Just take your time and you'll do fine!
Are you sure these instructions are for the 99 S70? I don't see any mention of the VVT.

The 1999s are tricky
Turbos have VVT, NA engines do not.
Without VVT , the timing belt job is similar to the 1998, but the tensioner is different.
