Hi guys.

Cheers guys.

I asked the very same question to my dealer only the other week as my previous volvo died the death of a thousand cambelt failures! The dealer stated that this belt, which I assume is actually a chain inour case (2.4i 6-cylinder, not 5) is at 102,000 miles. I assume it's a chain drive system as a reinforced nylon belt would certainly not last that long!

If in doubt though, contact your local dealer as they are more than willing to offer advice over the phone.

The 2.4 is a five cylinder engine and it has a cam belt, not a chain. It is well engineered and with the exception of dodgy tensioners on D5s I have never heard of one fail prematurely.

I have seen different change intervals quoted but they are all between just under, and just over 100,000 miles.

My 2003 V70 with 2.4T has a 96k mile / 8 year change interval, whichever comes first.
My wife's 2008 C30 T5 has a 108k mile / 6 year change interval, whichever comes first

HTH.

(Yes, I did spot the date of the OP!)
