That is typical ... It would be good it they had given the reason why the interval was reduced , could it be plain marketing?

I took out the 3 years plan last year, think total cost over the 3 years is around £1100, woudl be great news if it now includes the cambelt change. My XC60 D4is now on 81000 (66 plate) so next service I'm assuming it'll be due the cambelt. Before it was due after the 3 year contract had ended. Be interested to see what Volvo say... |

My VEA D4 was serviced at the start of February (104k miles) and I was initially quoted a price including a timing belt change, but when I got there the dealer said it never needed the belt change.
But I presume that as my car is now beyond the recommended 90k miles I will have to prod them to make sure that they include the timing belt change in the next service? That would be an interesting argument if there ever happened to be another issue a la EGR cooler....... "sorry you never followed the volvo service schedule" - but you changed the service schedule after its service and I only found out about this change via an online forum..... just saying |

I've been hit by this. Just been quoted £864 by an independent garage. Seems steep to me.

I'm assuming that the reason they have reduced the interval is as a result of recorded failures. But I don't think I can recall many if anyone on here ever posting about a VEA throwing it's belt?

I think it is to do with emergency service vehicles , their interval was reduced to 50000 miles . I have never heard of a belt or tensioner failure on any VEA engine .

For a service including cambelt change on a VEA engine? That seems a bargain!
