2012 xc60 D4 5 cylinder timing belt

[Mikesmith181]

Afternoon guys, I’m wanting to do a timing belt and warmterpump change on my xc60, I don’t think the belt is due to be done, but it’s close and I’d rather do it now for piece of mind so I know it’s done. So I’m going to get a full timing belt kits aux belt tensioner sand so on. My question is, how difficult is it to do? Is there a how to on here somewhere, also my driveway is on a bit of a slope not mega but enough, would this cause any drama for me with taking the engine mount off?
Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for your response mate, would you know if I remove the top engine mount will the engine no completely free or is there another that will support it?

I did my own on a 2.4L fwd xc60.

I got mine in the air on stands and then just brought a trolley jack up lightly on the sump before removing the engine mount.

The change was pretty straight forward, tensioner setup needs reading through as i wasn't familiar with the type but not difficult once understood. Also I purchased a tool to clamp the crank pulley, so you can undo the pulley bolt.

I think i followed a V70 guide for mine as the 2.4 d5 is old and similar/same as them.
