Be careful with this as I believe from reading various threads on this subject that originally there was a hydraulic tensioner fitted. This was then replaced under a recall to a mechanical one, however I believe the fitting is different and the block had to be drilled and tapped to take it. Also with the latest tensioner the belt must be changed at the 54,000 service and again at 108,000 service.

I am writing this from memory so do check other threads on this, suggest you read as many as possible to get the full picture. Pay particle attention to anything which Clan says as that should be the official Volvo line.
