1998 V70 T5 timing belt time? - Page 2

I agree with ^^^.

Do the timing belt, water pump, timing belt tensioner and idler. Also do the aux belt and aux belt tensioner.

The water pump is a bit of an awkward job tbh. You'll need to remove it by dropping it downwards. I was going to try to describe how to unbolt the engine mount and replace the bolt in another hole, but this video shows you all you need to know

I'd definitely use a cambelt locking tool - and don't remove the camshaft sprockets unless you have the Volvo camshaft setting tool https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...ining/1024650/

Don't ask me why I have one of these...

I also have the iPD timing belt changing tools - these make the belt change so much easier - the bar for taking the tension off the aux belt tensioner is fantastic. The cam locking tool is also very good
