360 GLT timing belt failure
Hi All,
I have a trusty 1989 Volvo 360 GLT 2ltr inj that has done 160,000m. The cam belt has just failed. Does anyone know if this results in engine damage, and are they difficult to change ? Any help much apreiciated |

Hi Mr FFF
not sure about the contact / damage bit.. but re changing the best way i found was remove rad remove fan/ shroud remove alternator belts remove timing covers back off cam tensioner remove bottom pully line all up again use a haines or timing guide make sure you time correctly, not 180 degrees out!! fit belt, turn over by hand to ensue correct fitting timing etc if at any stage engine stops turning over investigate if all ok refit removed parts for future reference replacement criteria of cambelt 4 years or 48000 miles whichever is sooner there is a previous post on this issue if you delve around regs matt |

RE: 360 GLT timing belt failure
Thanks Matt,
By the time I saw your reply I had infact fitted a new belt just as you described, but after removing the cam cover to check the valve operation. I'm not sure how old the belt was, but I have done 40k out of the total of 160k. So I quess I was lucky for the cost of a £6:50 belt. |
