Belt service.
I usually use genuine Volvo parts on my Mk1 V70 however being on a pension money is tight at the moment. Have any of you used and can recommend the following pattern parts.
Circoli water pump, Dayco serpentine belt, Ina drive belt tensioner, Conti Tech Timing belt kit. Total prices with good discount £211.55 pluss free post. Genuine Volvo parts as above. £297 plus £9.50 postage. ( That does include new fixings). Faulse economy or a bargain what's the verdict?

I've used Circoli thermostat without problem, Dayco belts seem to be okay as well, IMO
Remember Volvo don't actually make these parts themselves so you could just be paying for the name. If you're looking for parts, Eurocarparts often have a discount code on their website, can save quite a bit and PFS Parts are usually quite good prices, better than main dealers anyway. |

If it is of interest BuyCarParts (https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ )currently have discounts of up to 23% so a GATES Water Pump & Timing Belt Set which includes the tensioner is currently £73 and the Gates serpentine belt around £17 for your V70 - they also keep the idler wheels.
(https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/volvo/...plier%5B%5D=33 & ( https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/volvo/...ort_categories[]=305&rp=1&sort_categories[]=542 ) Which means they comes in at just under £100 delivered for genuine Gates belts and parts.

On my old 850 I got an SKF kit inc water pump. EVerything was exactly the same as the OE stuff I took off. Same part numbers etc. Only difference was the SKF stuff wasn't marked 'Volvo'.
Even in the SKF kit one of the pulleys was an INA, again same as I removed. Can only assume that SKF make the parts for Volvo? I got the kit from Parts for Volvo .

Half the time with-on-line ordering it is anti-virus messing with the servers!

Probably a bit late now but I bought a brand new genuine volvo water pump kit and timing belt kit from a volvo dealer via ebay and it was less than £200 inc. postage. This was a lot less than my local dealer quoted (circa £500!!)
Bearing in mind the change interval on these and how crucial they are to the operation of the engine I personally think it is worth paying up for the proper volvo bits when the difference between volvo and aftermarket price is fairly narrow. I appreciate you also want the drive belt tensioner as well but I think when I bought mine several years ago from my local volvo dealer with little/no discount it was only circa £40. Unless it's broken you could leave it for now and change it later - you don't have to go near the cambelt to change it so long as you have a suitable tool for backing off the tension to remove/replace the aux belt.

Genuine volvo
Out of interest, I called in my Volvo dealer to buy a crankshaft stretch bolt for the D5252t , to be told they had been discontinued!
So what if you want to change a water pump or a cambelt? Whilst using only genuine Volvo parts... not possible! |
