cambelt
I would IMO change as peace of mind and the costs far out weighs a replacement engine /head work
But that is just me even selling the car it makes a plus point if yoy have the bill of work to say it has been done Iain |

850's have an 80k miles / 8 years ,which ever comes first 'rule.
I'd imagine that if your '70' has 105k miles as a reccomended change interval then it'd be 10 years, which ever comes first. Someone will confirm (or otherwise) soon. As for the change, I did my 850 at home. I changed both cam' & aux' belts with OE ones at £70 or so delivered to me here in France Quote here at a reccomended major chain of a garage who repair all marques & HGV's (Ouest Injection) was over 700€. They did want to replace all pulleys, tensioner, & water pump mind!

C70 Cambelt change ?
Hi all - just registered on here having just bought a C70 T5 GT - great car but already the air-con fault lights are flashing so I have no fan blower at the moment ! Anyway - re the Cambelt ... my C70 is 2001 and done 80k miles. I am not sure when the cambelt is due mileage wise although I believe the time period is 10 years ? I know the garages like to scare us all into changing cambelts on most cars earlier than necessary but I would have thought that at 9 years old and 80k (on a v.clean model) it shouldn't need doing yet ?? Is there any commom thread regarding T5 2.3 engine cambelt failures - or are they known to be very tough ?
I know a lot of cars have a 60k / 5 year belt change rule, but if Volvo say 10 years rather than the usual 5 - then surely the belts will last 120k miles ??? Many thanks ... |

Just bought a cambelt kit from Volvo for a V70 t5 the cost was £103 my one still had another 37,000 to go BUT was 6 years old so I felt that for the peace of mind better to change it. Once bought a belt from GSF and 600 miles later while undergoing the MOT rev up for emissions it stripped about 4 inches of the teeth off!! I don't but from them anymore prefer the peace of mind of a genuine belt.
