I need to do mine, I am surprised about the kit - on my sons c30 and daughters polo I have used gates kits which included the water pump - which I did as the belt change is such a pita on those cars. I have to say have been pleased with them. Most people recommend the volvo belts and I am about to price them up vs the Gates and see what the difference is. |

If it is a Volvo Engine (the 2.4 pot petrol is as is the T5 5pot) and a Genuine Volvo water pump, it really Is a "if it aint broke dont mess" "garages" who are Not used to working on Volvo engines go with the "ah err *suck teeth , your going to need a water pump as well" ,, (the silent Kerrching of the cash register in the background) ,, and to be fair to them on a Lot of other makes engines they are probably correct. what Is worth doing when you are in there and changing the timing belt is The tensioner for it The belt you have to take off to get to the timing belt (the aux belt) the tensioner for the aux belt cost is negligible, esp compared to the bill If it fails, Both tensioners "yes" while your in there ,reason as above. @17 years old "hell yes change it + aux belt + tensioners" as soon as so good job there
