There is no evidence these will work .. there are massive forces involved when the belt tangles ...just change your belt as volvo recommend and there will be no problems ... t

I bought a volvo v70 2,5ft 2009 3 weeks ago. I was able to drive it for 3 days until the multibelt decided to make love with the camshaftbelt. I have just rebuilt the engine with new cylinderhead etc etc. But i found out about this cover and would like to have some extra protection since the orginal protector is way to weak. I cant send a PM to the guy selling. How do i proceed?

Exactly this unit needs to have a guarantee with insurance of at least £10.000 and if it doesn't work then pay for the repair costs to the engine.
The best 100% way to prevent the belt breaking is to service the car properly ...

Why do I need one?
Additional cover will protect your engine from expensive repairs or write-off due to aux belt\air-con belt snapping and wrapping around timing belt and damaging engine.

There's no definite proof that it actually works, but then again, I can see how its an extra layer of protection if the aux belt did decide to come off. Its £55 and could possibly save your engine or £55 and it doesn't do a thing... catch 22. Maybe it has saved engines from catastrophic damage, we just don't know.

The seller hasn't been active for over a year and he stopped selling them anyway. I suggest this thread is closed.

If a moderator reads this, I'll leave it to their discretion as to whether they close it. I don't see the point having a thread open when the seller no longer visits here or sells the item anyway. That's my "two cents".
