VEA Cambelt / Alternator Belt Advice

[Gilesme]

Hi all - looking for a bit of advice please.

I have a 2014 XC60 D4 VEA - FWD - owned from new!

Will be going in for its 9 year service soon - 81k on the clock.

I intend keeping the vehicle for a few years yet.

I use a Volvo specialist rather than main dealer service.

Question - I understand new Cambelt required at 90k or 10 years - whichever comes first. However, also Aux belt and tensioner advised at 10 years also.

So, will get both done at the same time.

Question is should I get them done this year, to be on the safe side, or wait 12 months ?

Any advice gratefully received !

you might as well get it all done this time whilst it is in, all done for another 10 years then 👍 it will be more expensive next year for sure !

That was kind of my thinking !

And no worry something might let go over the next 12 months...

Appreciate the response.
