740GL - Belt or Chain?

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 FreddyP

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:
