If you're just having the timing belt replaced, it'll cost you about $700. The exact amount depends on your mechanic, of course. However, you should also investigate having other parts associated with the timing belt replaced. This is because Volvo engines (after 1995, I think) use what is called an "interference design." That is, if the timing belt stops (either by breaking or other event) the cam shaft will stop and the valves will be struck by the pistons (this is what they mean by "interference"). The engine is then pretty much gone. You'll need to (1) get a new engine, (2) get your old engine rebuilt, or (3) sell your car. What other parts should be investigated you ask. Well, the pulleys and tensioners (with their bearings) for the timing belt, as a starter, and anything else that runs off the timing belt. Some dealers go so far as to replace the water pump, too. The bill for a major service of this type can run as much as $2000. I've never had a belt go bad, but I have had pulley bearings go. Once I heard the noise and had it checked in time. Once I didn't. The latter cost me a new engine, to the tune of about $5000. (Makes a $2000 investment look pretty good!)
