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?

sorry about that , i see now it wasnt you who said that , i am not an attitude person it is just how it might come over in short messages . it was a long day and took twice as long as normal to get home zzz ..
Well to answer your question , past experience has shown that if the auxiliary belt comes off due to an idler wheel failing it gets dragged around the crank pulley and with the tremendous power there, gets dragged behind the cover into the cam belt .. perhaps 2 out of ten may survive with the auxiliary belt just laying to one side ..
Regarding bulbs , again experience ... volvo use long life ones , halfords etc dont . you can fit what you like of course , my problem is that it can get tedious changing bulbs on a regular basis especialy as generaly the newer the car the more difficult it is ! With 10 or 12 bulbs used on a daily basis you could be doing it every 2 weeks with " normal life " bulbs ,
