[V40] Timing belt: automatic or manually-adjusted tensioner??

Dec 14th, 2005, 19:43

I don't know if my model has an automatic or a manually-adjusted belt tensioner. Is it possible to know from a code/identification number?
These are what I found:

Volvo V40 petrol 1.8 (1731)
engine: B4184S
Year (registration): 1996
Country: Italy

On the sticker attached to the timing belt cover I found:
30611218
816468
B4184S

Thank you!

i believe it to be automatic tensioner - at least that is what i was told about my 97 v40. i recommend you seek advice from a volvo specialist to confirm this.

816468 is your engine serial number. this would make it the earlier setup with the automatic tensioner :-)
