2011 D5 Aux belt service interval
I've heard a few horror stories of D5 engine throwing the Aux belt into the timing belt and trashing the engine.
my car has done 84k with full Volvo history but can't see anything in the service book about the Aux belt and tensioner being replaced its a 2011 D5 it was registered in November 2011 but I think it’s right on the change over as on some sites it says it’s a 2012 model with the 215bhp engine , looked online and can't seem to find out the correct interval for changing the belt and tensioner, some seem to say 54k and others 108k Last edited by sole27; Nov 27th, 2021 at 00:19. |

It’ll be 54k, if you’re not sure do it anyway for the peace of mind - make sure the tensioner and alternator freewheel pulley are changed at the same time.

This is what I use as a guide on my XC70: http://www.volvohowto.com/servicing-...-2005-to-2015/
But if you're in doubt, get it done asap and then follow the recommended intervals in future.

Cheers will change both the belt and the tensioners if I decide to keep the car it’s got a fair few faults with it.
