General: 70: - changing cambelt

My V70 2.4, 20v is coming up to a cambelt change. I have read some where that the pre-tensioners should also be changed at the same time. Would anyone know whether this is right and if so are they an expensive part.Thanks

Change the pre tensioner and rollers, I would suggest that you even change the water pump depending on the mileage.

I have this job to do and I'm changing the lot.

Thanks Red-Arrow, would you mind giving me an idea of price for the pre-tensioner and rollers. Garage charges here in spain differ dramatically and I don`t want to be fleeced. Thanks Jack

Jack, I'm in France and 'Ouest Injection' quoted me around 750€ for a cambelt kit & water pump change. This was for my 850 2.5GLT 20v.

If you are going DIY, then I'd try a pm to 'Rufe' on here for OE stuff. Even with postage it'll likely be cheaper than your mainstealers.

Alternatively try:
