Not sure why you have the attitude towards me. I never spoke to a "specialist", so why would they tell me?
As you point out the aux pulley gives you plenty of notice (did on my V70 T5), and how does the aux belt get to the cam belt on the basis the cam cover etc protect it?
Can you also explain why you have a problem with any bulb that isn't sold by the main Volvo dealer as you have expressed in other posts?
