For the Volvo V70, the timing belt replacement interval typically ranges from 70,000 to 105,000 miles, depending on the specific engine model and year. It’s essential to consult the owner’s manual for your particular vehicle to confirm the recommended interval. Regular maintenance is crucial, as a failed timing belt can lead to significant engine damage. Always consider replacing the water pump and tensioner at the same time for optimal performance.

There are two standard threshold conditions for changing the timing belt (1) age of the belt - 10 years or more or (2) useage of the belt in terms of miles ~ 90k if under 10 years.

For a 2001 Volvo V70 T5, it is generally recommended to change the timing belt every 70,000 to 105,000 miles, or every 7 to 10 years, whichever comes first. It's crucial to adhere to this maintenance schedule to prevent potential engine damage from a belt failure. Always consult the owner's manual or a trusted mechanic for specific recommendations based on driving conditions and vehicle history.
Provided the belt does not break, yes it will be safe....but if the belt breaks, then you will ruin your engine.

98 V70 is recommended every 70,000 miles. 1999 through 2003 is recommended every 105,000 miles and 2004 on is recommended every 120,000 miles. You also want to replace the timing belt tension and idler with each belt. It has been my experience working in a dealership that sometimes the belt may start developing cracks and wear from the enviroment it is exposed to. Therefore if the belt looks to be in a less than ideal condition you may wish to consider replacing it before the mileage to be on the safe side since these are "interference" motors and a broken timing belt will cause a lot of expensive damage.
