Hi on the D5 you will not need one , as the side of the belt is only a single pulley, just set up all of the marks,

Volvo don't make timing belts, Gates make them for Volvo - so get a Gates one for £17 and you have a "Volvo" one with Gates stamped on it. I have been to the factory where they make these! Very interesting - I even saw the "Volvo" ones! |

Is that up near Leeds somewhere? I went to see Gates 20 plus years ago to source a restraining belt for engine mounts when I used to design mounts for Audi. (Fitting a belt to the mount provides an upward ’snubber’ and saved about £80 per car. I didn’t see too much of that sadly....)

The lab was fantastic. If you imagine a lab with about 100 timing chests of different vehicles running with a perspex front cover so they can view them - all running at quite high RPM - they then had various lines that could spray oil or sand or some other containment into the cases while running. They just left them running constantly. I have some photos from the factory on another computer which I will try and get uploaded. Each belt starts off as about a single vulcanised rubber/polymer compound which is made over a mould - so they are between 300mm and 1200mm wide before they go into the gang cutter. I paid extra attention to the Volvo racking in the warehouse where the Volvo belts were. |
