Can you help with my v70 2001 D5 engine tapping from engine belts and pulleys. Thanks in advance.

You would be better posting this a separate post to get a greater response. What you need to do is remove the auxiliary belt first and check the tensioner idler and alternator clutch. if these are ok then run the car to check the cambelt area. If the noise is still present then you know where to focus. This is not a hard job if your handy with the spanners and a member on here has a video of exactly what to do. has your cambelt been changed? if not its over due as the interval is 10 years or 108,000 if I remember correctly. You also need to change the above mentioned parts as its these that cause cambelt failures not the cambelt breaking itself. Also Volvo genuine parts is the only way to go when dealing with this area.

I have the same engine. Any idea where I can get a replacement cruise control cable?

It sounds obvious but have you tried your volvo dealer ? A lot of vital 940 bits are still available ...

failing that , send your old cable to speedy cables in wales they will make you a new one :

Are you sure the cruise control is still working? I spent around £800 at a main dealer trying to get the cruise control working for longer than a week or so. In the end I gave up on it.

I know the cable is fraying and stretched, and tends to slip off the appropriate groove on the capstan. I wonder why yours worked for a week or so each time you got it sorted? Did you ever find out? I believe it's vacuum operated isn't it?

Oh yes,we tried the dealer but increasingly the reply is "That part is no longer available" :-(
Thanks for the suggestion of Speedy Cables. I have a try with them.

No, it was simply costing too much. That £800 was in 1996.

Yes, I think it was vacuum operated as I recall. It could be retrofitted as well. If the dealer had fitted a complete new one it would have been cheaper.
