Aux belt and servicing times XC50 D5
Hello - I've read a lot about the timings of the aux belt. I have the D5 5 Cylinder. I have a service agreement at a main dealer (one that I am very happy with). The car is up for its service in December and I have found out that the aux belt was last done at 40k 5 years ago the car is at around 49k now. My question is this. Would you pay to have the aux belt done now at this service as recommended by my dealer-at a cost of around £200. Or, as the car is due its cam belt change next year which is covered by the service plan, where I presume the aux belt will be done at the same time as that? Does anyone have any experience as to whether the aux belt is done as part of the cam belt service too and therefore covered by the plan?

So if your car is 10 years old then do all belts and tensioner if not then your dealer should not be suggesting anything really. You really only doing 2k miles a year! Last edited by RDesign4Life; Nov 19th, 2022 at 12:09. |

If your main dealer is recommending you change belts again after only 9k and 5 years, I would change dealer.
Huttons at Benningbrough will do you a better deal than that. As RDesign4life pointed out, Aux belts every 54k, cam belt at 108k, or 10 years. Save yourself a few £, loyalty is costing you money.

Yes a typo.. Sorry.. XC60. I've done very few miles haven't I! Okay so I need to go back to them and check. I really appreciate the heads up about Beningbrough though. My car is a 64 plate.

Thank you for the replies. Yes the car will be 10 years old next year. I'm disappointed that my garage haven't given me good advice.. But the £200 is something I can do without having to spend unnecessarily so I'm grateful for the support here.

We should really make this a sticky. Such a common question on cambelts and AUX belt etc.

I thought the aux belt was 54k miles or 3 years whichever came first?
If it's 10 years, I would have waited until next year and had mine done with the cambelt next year but with all the horror stories of them destroying the cambelt and engine if they let go, I had mine done this year when it was 3 years old
