My current D5 is face-lift and the service intervals are 18,000 miles/1 year, and I know (because I have a service plan) it is due its cam-belt change at 108,000/6 years.

I shall have it done then, regardless - it's only done about 45,000 miles so the chances of it getting to 108 in the next year and a half are negligible!

TBH, with cam-belts and the like, I wouldn't go beyond the recommended intervals, and I agree with what's been said that I'd use genuine Volvo parts (although I always try to do that anyway, so perhaps that's just me). Who actually does the work, though, is of course a different matter...

It is a pre facelift but a 215 engine as its MY 2012 and the volvo service history in the book is in the 18k service section.

Did the engine change post facelift (other than the 205 to 215)?
