Based on earlier comment from Capt Jack, it should be replaced at 8 years 80,000 miles since last change. If 6th year service was in 2011, then based on your mileage, it would be 2019 or 102562 miles (whichever is the sooner).

I have a 2006 2.4 and when I asked I got several different answer so asked Volvo who said 10 years or 100k.
And as for the Aux belt that has to come off so you may as well change that for the sake of the cost of the belt. you can't tell when a belt needs changing by looking at it unless its obviously cracked, worn of shredding. |

On pre 2001 phase 1 cars the interval was 80,000 miles or 8 years. On the 2001-on phase 2 models I believe that the interval is 100,000 miles or 10 years.

Slightly off topic, but I went into local main dealer yesterday to book a service (yeah, crazy I know!) and two people on the service desk told me that at 10 years old, my car was due a new cambelt. I had to remind them that the IS6 petrol engine has a timing chain . On the plus side, I negotiated over £250 off the price of the work I wanted doing which made it slightly less painful.

Just the Timing Belt? Not the Water Pump?

Yes, you should. You've got the front in pieces, got the belt off, so as you're there why not? Pumps can seize and if they do they can strip the belt and wreck the engine. Why risk it when it's there, in front of you.

Can't answer about the water pump-I've seen plenty of advice on here to the effect that if it's a genuine Volvo pump then unless leaking/otherwise obviously faulty then to leave it be[but that's your call]-I wouldn't change just the timing belt itself change the tensioner/idlers too as a lot of the time it's these that let go taking the belt out rather than it just being the belt that goes.

Still debating the Water Pump Change
Quote:
The plus side of changing out the water pump is that the anti-freeze will be swapped flushed out at the same time. Anywho, thanks for the insight. |
