So you reckon I could safely wait until a service AFTER it's done more than 90k to get it replaced, rather than proactively having it done ready for it to reach 90k?

How difficult is it to replace as a DIY? Obviously I'll need to download VIDA for detailed guidance, but are dedicated tools required?

As they say 90000 I would get it done at 90000 ... even if it is between services ..
The method is similar to the 5 cylinder D5 except the fuel pump is driven off the cambelt and a round locking pin is needed , The pump is timed to the belt so that the heavy pulses needed to drive the pump do not coincide with the valve opening pulses from the camshafts .. The vida instructions are quite clear

And that special tool is definitely needed and can't be improvised? When I replaced the chains on my Accord the official manual had a list of special tools, but all could be improvised without much trouble (using a masonry drill shaft to make a long 8mm locking drift, for example, which is a bit what that looks like).

I can find that Volvo tool 999 7233 but it's £35 so does eat into the DIY savings for a job I'll only ever do once!

Zebster, that's correct....no belt to replace and extended service periods are just what fleet managers want...good for the balance sheet!

Or just buy it and sell it on eBay afterwards..... buy for £35 sell for £25 afterwards? Or do some sort of pass it along system

I guess I'll find out in Jan when mines booked in. Would be nice to have an idea beforehand. They SHOULD include it, but I imagine they might not as it wasn't due at that time when the plan was purchased.

For what it’s worth, no issues with my car before the cam belt was changed at the original 144k miles recommended interval.
