Water pump info
Hey!
Can someone please clarify if this stamp means 2022 as year of production? Thanks! Last edited by scorcherimports; Feb 11th, 2024 at 20:23. |

A quick google suggests that is the date stamp but don't hold me to that.

That's good, but the cam belt doesn't look the best. I suggest changing it.

I understand the concern with the timing belt, but after inspection this engine was fully serviced at Volvo less than 2 years ago and didn't run last entire year..
Original belt pic, rubber is smooth.. don't see any reason to interfere with Volvo 2022/2023 service. |

How old is the car? If that's an original timing belt and its more than 10 years old, which I assume it is, it should be changed regardless. Even if the belt is smooth, its still old. If the belt snaps, you'll wish you replaced it. Look at the picture, see the dust or it might even be rust on the pulleys...
The car may have been serviced by Volvo less than two years ago, but a service like an oil change doesn't include a timing belt, unless you specifically ask for it to be replaced and pay for it to be done. Unless you have specific paperwork saying the timing belt was changed like a receipt or a sticker in the engine, I wouldn't take chances with it. Looking at that picture, the timing belt doesn't look new to me. There's no point having a new water pump and an old timing belt. Check your paperwork to see if it has ever been replaced before. If you can't find anything, get it done. Snapped timing belts destroy engines.

As I understand the thread, the water pump has a manufacture date stamp of 2022 indicating it has been fitted after that date. It is inconceivable that a Volvo dealer would change a pump and not the belt at the same time - so the belt will be relatively new. Given that the car has not been used for twelve months and the cam sprokets are rusty, the belt will be 'set' around the pulleys through standing, I would change the belt 'just in case'.

Yes, I agree on changing the belt "just in case", but my main issue is messing with this hidraulic tensioner that's need to be reset by compression and I definitely don't want to mess with him.. specially knowing that it's "new" by a Volvo dealer.
Already had a catastrophic timing failure due previous owner compressing the older one instead of installing a new hydraulic tensioner as posted here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=334979 Think will "accept" my luck on finding a original B4194T from 1998 that has been fully serviced less than 2 years ago directly by Volvo and look's like this inside: |
