At only 122 100km (75,860mi)!! The water pump bearing tear apart, and ball bearing parts and pieces found in the timing belt cover:
 So when you replace your timing belt, make sure to replave or have replace your water pump in the same time! Unles you'll have to make the job twice

funny thing about the 60 vs 90 thing...i've seen the spec change from one model year within the same generation of vehicle with the same part numbers for belt and tensioners and such. reason being? manufactuer decided that 90 was OK and that 90 sells better, by then its out of warranty by a good bit and probably on the 2nd owner who isnt going to be reporting reliability to statistics companies. some volvos have 110K mile timing belts!
