I've heard a few horror stories of D5 engine throwing the Aux belt into the timing belt and trashing the engine.
my car has done 84k with full Volvo history but can't see anything in the service book about the Aux belt and tensioner being replaced its a 2011 D5 it was registered in November 2011 but I think it’s right on the change over as on some sites it says it’s a 2012 model with the 215bhp engine , looked online and can't seem to find out the correct interval for changing the belt and tensioner, some seem to say 54k and others 108k
