V60 1.6 D2 SE (late 2012) timing belt change interval
Can anyone please advise the correct interval for my car?
One dealer says 6 years, another says 72500 miles, another 87500 miles. Googling gets 8 years or 12 years (150000 miles!) I'm on 6.5 years and 65k miles at present. volvohow.com doesn't list my variant/year Thanks! |

From what i know its 87,5 K Miles. I have the same car, and just changed the belt out @ 86,5
. I would really be looking around 7-8 years or 100,000 to be the max for me whichever comes first. Last edited by Listerit; Apr 1st, 2019 at 14:54. |

Thanks - I forgot to also ask whether there are associated items that should be changed at the same time eg water pump?
I’ll probably get the belt changed in a year when it will be 8 years/72k approx. |

water pump possibly as they are prone to weeping from the seal , look for green stains under the pump assuming you are using the genuine volvo coolant , which is designed to leave a trace from any leaks . The bearing is sound though so no safety issue really .

I would change it. The cost differential is negligible
