In honesty though I don't see Volvo doing anything about it, what is the point the D5 is near the end of it's life and probably at a hunch it is cheaper to continue replacing these belts than do a complete re-design.
It could also be a supplier issue mind. Oh and I am no 23 year old designer from Ford...ha! |

Nowhere near the end of its life in cars and certainly not in marine diesels - it will be still be around in cars for the next 15 (and probably many more) years and as the standard workhorse engine for many marine craft and marine people are not known for changing in anywhere near the same timeline as cars. It is also very popular in plant.

Probably is more money for the service department and maybe the odd recall, but if Volvo had wanted to get it right they would of done so a long time ago I think...I mean this has been going on near enough 7 years... |

This is what I was really questioning.
It's easy to say Ford did Volvo wrong, Ford are rubbish blah blah blah. They've been gone since 2010, if there was a real issue or if Geely/Volvo saw it as a real issue it would have been rectified. It hasn't been so it's either a non-issue or, it's a nice revenue generator for parts sales and dealers workshops. Either way Ford have long since gone so how can it still be a Ford issue ?

Because ford changed it and ford still manufacture (if my understanding is correct) the 5 cylinder engines. Where as the new VEA is all in house.

If it's wrong and you as a customer are suffering as a result, you take steps to solve it or do you just accept any old crap that will have your name on it ?

Same issue?
Hi, been looking for clues online as to what might be causing a noise issue on my 08 C30 D5:
1. Whining noise on cold start. 2. Disappears after about 3mins driving. 3. Not evident on starting when engine warmed. 4. Seems to be getting louder over time! Is this indicative of the aux belt problem? I took it to my local Volvo garage (where it's been serviced for last 2yrs) and they had no ideas, but I was unable to leave it long enough to completely cool before testing. Has 75k on clock btw, full Volvo history. Any ideas? And does anyone know the likely bill for a Volvo dealer fix? Thanks.
