Snapped Cam Belt - XC90 2015 new shape

LCC · Mar 2nd, 2020, 15:27

Hi,

Looking for some advice on my 2015 Volvo XC90 D5 Inscription.

Its a new shape model with 104,000 miles on the clock.

The car was serviced at Volvo Warwick all through its warranty period up to 90,000miles

In late October at 96,000 it had a full service at the local independent volvo garage which included replacing the cam belt and all other belts and filters

On Saturday whilst travelling on the motorway the car entered limp mode and booted me onto the hard shoulder. It was recovered to the local volvo garage who have advised that the cam belt has snapped (£156 for the pleasure of telling me that!)

Ive spoken to the independent garage who replaced the cam belt and they have said to bring it back to them to check over as the parts should be under warranty "as long as nothing else has made the cam belt snap"

Obviously I'm looking into the face of a very expensive repair bill and wanted to arm myself with some info.

What other things could make the cam belt snap other than a faulty belt or poor installation?
