If the belt tensioner failed, there would be a loss of power steering assistance and you may experience a sudden loss of drive.
This aplies to S60s, V60s XC60s,V70s, XC70s and S80s(model year 2011)
Any one else?

Fantastic ! Thought I'd left this behind when I moved from a D5 to D3.
So the tensioners are still made from the holes in swiss cheese combined with the bubbles from an Aero chocolate bar.
My D5 was mapped, it got to the stage where the tensioners were being replaced as often as the engine oil and filter (12k miles/12 months).

Maybe they need to use chains instead of belts.
Is there still the risk of the ancilary belt smashing through the cam belt casing as with the old D5 ?
