Hey guys

I'm new to the volvo scene...got a 1990 740GL...do they have timing
belts or chains? Does it have interference or non-interferance
valves? What's the reccommendded belt change interval, and how much
does it cost/how hard is it?

Thanks

It has a belt. Valves are not interference. Change interval is 80k km,
or 50k miles. It's one of the easiest engines in the world on which to
change a timing belt.

You can find lots of good info at:
