Time to change the belt! I do a lot of the repairs myself, but where it concerns life or death of the engine, I choose the pro's. I first called the Volvo dealership (to get a price to go after), and they were very friendly and informed me of the last time the vehicle was in for service with them. They also said there should be a sticker on the housing that protects the belt. They gave me a price. I called five other repair shops in Uppsala, Sweden - and guess what: Volvo had the best price, and was the most professional and informative shop I spoke with over the phone. I was surprised, I was expecting them to be the most expensive. The other shops were not rinky-dink "Jim's Garage & Chicken Feed" places. FYI: For a 1993 460 GL 2.0 it will cost 1900SEK which is around 0. The most expensive shop wanted 0... and they probably don't even use Volvo parts. Jon
