hi folks

i picked up a 1998 c70 t5 yesterday and altho its got plenty of volvo service stamps the only thing i can find about the timing belt history is a sticker under the bonnet saying it was replaced in 2006 @ 79000 miles its now on 114000 miles

is it due one yet or not folks? cheers-matt
p.s do these cars have balancer belts? if so whats the renewal time on them?

i thought it was best to change them every 50000 miles but i could be wrong
