D2 1.6D D4162T Correct Timing Belt Interval is 87.5K miles
I have it confirmed from Volvo that the timing belt change interval is 87,500 miles & not 150,000 miles as some may believe it to be! There is an advisory that Volvo brought the interval forward towards the end of April 2014 here: http://workshopsupportguide.volvocar..._41en37_ir.pdf
(Also attached as PDF). Quote: "Replacement interval for timing belt kit The replacement interval for timing belt kit on D4162T (84) has been changed to 140 000 km. This affects the following variants: C30, S40 (04-), V40 (13-), V40 Cross Country, V50, S60 (11-), V60, S80 (07-) and V70 (08-) from model year 2011 and forward, which have adapted service programs." Just thought I should make you aware; apparently Volvo haven't issued a recall, but rather are including the timing belt replacement when your vehicle goes in for it's next service! This of course would only take place if you are having the vehicle serviced at Volvo dealerships! So be warned & be aware ;-) |

Great, the news for us 1.6D owners simply gets better and better so proving that the Ford/Peugeot/Citroen supplied angines are weak compared to decently designed and built ones.
The cost of maintaining Volvo's "eco" models is so high it completely negates the point of buying them. That combined with the MPG falling so far short (about 25 to be precise) makes it less than a sound option for most. Thanks for the heads up though.

How come then Clan that Volvo are now saying 87.5k miles? I have this info & confirmation from them both verbally & electronically that it is 87.5k miles timing belt kit interval for the 1.6D Drive-e 115ps Stop / Start with D4162T engine; this applies not only to the v50, but also other models which use the same engine configuration; (Ford / Peugeot / Citron PSA / DV6 block). Clan, can you provide solid evidence that the interval is 150k miles? My v50 (2011 60 plate), is on 114k & i'm booked in to get it changed as i'm already playing roulette!!

The D4162T is the D2 which is now on 87500 miles or 10 years .. I wouldnt worry too much these engines have been on volvos for 10 years now and no particular problems with cam belt life .. We need to know WHY volvo have gone to 87500 miles for the D4162T ( D2) cam belt

Where's the best place to buy the drivebelt from if you want to change it yourself? I've seen as cheap as £13 for Contitech branded belts but thought the belt would be a lot more expensive......
Just went through the Haynes manual and didn't realise it was so simple to replace. |

My 2011 v50 1.6 DRIVe had done 113k miles & just missed the timing belt change on last service! I've recently had it replaced; full timing belt kit, water pump & auxiliary belt. The old belt & components definitely showed that it needed replacing; belt was cracking at base of teeth & water pump bearing was tight & whining when cold! For those interested, the timing belt kit can be purchased from Volvo parts for £117 all inc. part number: 31339888 (NB this does not include water pump!). I had my garage man who I trust implicitly to do my work; £295 all inc. Alternatively, Volvo will do all this for £450+! I hope this helps anyone who reads this post. Last thing you want is timing belt failure! Timing Belt: C30, S40, V40, V40 XC, V50, S60, V60, S80, V70 |

Thanks for this info. The service cost indicator on Volvo UK website now includes the timing belt replacement at 87,500 miles and quotes £405 for this service.
