The kit maybe included the waterpump. Check the part no. And know you'll not need to do it again. Just check your fan belts because due to poor volvo engineering if they fail the engine isn't worth fixing. |

If you need more then take a look at the Gates Company web site:~
The products that they produce are well engineered & up to specifications. Volvo don't make parts- they specify and buy in-- at most times milk the market selling on: You can purchase quality, suitable for purpose products by checking the market properly. Blindly thinking that only one company can supply quality parts is potentially just a money trap. Bob. |

Well, just as an update (& for my future reference!)...
I went against my own advice to get 2 quotes and just had a bunch of work done with the local indy Volvo specialist. MOT, service (incl pollen filter), cambelt, front discs and pads. All-in £995. Ouch In it's defence, this motor owes me nothing - a great workhorse from new, now relegated to about 5k miles pa - shifting 'the kids' gear from city to city, a ski run, tip runs, etc. About 12-15k in our other motor (the amazing Kona EV) About £380 was the cambelt (parts & labour) £230+vat parts for brakes £105+vat service/filter parts rest labour. +vat.... Only warnings are rear trailing arms front bushes deteriorating & slight wear on inner edge of rear tyres (linked?). Sounded like that could be a few hundred next year
