Thank for our reply.
alas no , the cylinder block needs drilling for a new Mounting hole it needs the VOLVO template tool and special self centring drill , they have the kit for doing it . If you mess that up you are in big trouble . I would question them about the recall, R recalls do not expire . or try another dealer . they should not charge you more than an hours labour for doing it .. the belt is different to the hydraulic one by the way
