For sale: Volvo 2.4d\d5 timing belt additional protection

[tt82]

Meant to reply to this topic earlier.

Many thanks to Gints for the timing belt guard. As a former sheet metal fabricator I can testify to the high build quality of this product. The welds are all good and have been ground smooth on the edges for a perfect flat finish. My only criticism, and it's very tiny, would be that you need to put the bolts in a bag when packaging. Mine have been rattling around in the box and have been hitting the guard and chipped the black painted finish.

Otherwise A* service and product!

The definitive answer is to change the belts and idlers ...

Yeah Tell me about it and all silently at low speed too, early mileage change all associated parts I reckon!! including checking the bearings on A/C Compressor and Alternator.

Hello
I am a owner of a 2008 S80 185hp D5 AWD. I have just had a aux belt break and it went into the timing belt.....very expensive.
I vould like to buy the protection kit from you. I do not have access to my car at the moment, but I will check if the kit will fit my car very soon. I live in Norway and I have a Paypal account.

Sorry to hear this Tomas. Can you enlighten us why it happened on your car. Was the aux belt and tensioner changed at 54k mile intervals and did it have the latest mechanical tensioner? Was it ten tensioner that caused it or something else? Was there any noise or warning?
