No it is the AUX belt which when it comes off ,usualy wraps itself around the lower cog for the cam belt ! Volvo cambelts have always been and still are very robust , they have kevlar in them ! its the aux belt which can in rare cases cause problems . The design hasnt really changed since these engines were born in 1990 .It didnt need to as back then and up until 2007 they were excellent using top quality tensioners and idler wheels , I believe ford cut costs and caused the problems we have today .
