V40 Fan Serpentine/Belt - Page 2

daveos · Jan 23rd, 2008, 21:13

Having a quick look under the bonnet did not help me determine the engine size, its not recorded on the MOT or insurance document. Now I know there are 2 types I'll try to get to Volvo parts shop tomorrow, and hopefully they might have both in stock so I can buy the shortest.
I would like to find the engine size though, as I mentioned earlier my insurance company keep telling me I have the 1.8s by looking up the registration. So if know where to find this on the engine it would be great.....
PS I can confirm the routing diagram lines up with the layout of all the pulleys.
Thanks

It should tell you on the registration document the V5 what CC the engine is.

The easy way to tell...

Open the bonnet - if it has big GDI letters on the engine cover, its the GDI. It not, its the volvo engine.

Good luck

Well the log book says 1731 and there is no GDI so I have just a standard V40 (DVLA mentioned insurance companies get their info from a different database).
However a trip to another shop resulted in no joy - the belt was about 1.5inches longer. A Volvo dealer has ordered one in for tomorrow so I'm hoping this will be the one.
Thanks to all the help so far - I'll keep you posted and make sure I update this page with the part number to anyone else who finds themselves with the same problem - hopefully nobody ever does!

I've now tried various belts from various suppliers, and no joy. Most of disgrams I have seen indicate there is guide wheel. I don't have one of these and I cannot see anywhere it could have broken off from, so I'm still struggling!!!
