As per above, I did both belt kits at 130k and the water pump was still as smooth as new with no play at all.

I also don't understand why you think £85 is expensive for a high quality belt and tensioner, and pulley. The pulley alone has a Swiss INA bearing that's probably worth £85 which explains why mine was like new after 130k.

And £56 for an aux belt and tensioner ? Peanuts !

As for who makes them, surely we don't need to doubt that Volvo would skimp on these parts. I did wonder myself when first unboxing it, but saw the INA marking and didn't worry after that.

Thanks for the links.

The prices I got from Volvo in Huddersfield were ALOT more than 85 pounds.

Iv never really trusted ebay sellers for parts for any of my cars. Is this ebay shop/supplier reliable do you think?

The parts all came in sealed Volvo branded plastic bags inside Volvo boxes.
