Volvo S60 D5 cam belt slipped - Advice please????

pukka88 · Oct 10th, 2018, 22:15

Hi all, so I had my car serviced at my volvo main dealer (7 year service or 126k miles). Picked up the car all clean no issues except low on the front tyre depth but legal. Drove 8 miles to pick up my child from school and the car breaks down outside the school. The car refused to start and was towed back to volvo main dealer. After a couple of days diagnosing the timing belt has slipped and the engine is totally damaged. Volvo say a new engine is required and would cost £6k, the car is worth around £5,5k so not economical to do.

My car is a Volvo S60 2012 D5 215bhp 98,785miles on the clock. Full volvo service history and I have a volvo service plan since owning the car (2nd owner) September 2016. The timing belt was replaced by the same volvo main dealer on the previous service in August 2017. The car has covered 6000 miles since then.

Where do I stand with Volvo main dealer in this matter? Any advice would be appreciated. Thx
