2009 XC60 Does it really need a cam belt change?

The cam belt isnt changed on it's own , The tensioner and idler are also changed together with the Aux.Belt and it's tensioner and roller( if fitted ) ...

£820 in the South West for my 2011 S60 D3 according to:

http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-se...indicator.aspx

6 year 108,000 mile service including timing & aux belts.

Edit: that does not include the recommend 2 year brake fluid change

Yes I understand that from your previous post .I meant the whole job cost including all ancillary bits work?

Just curious so anyone thinking they may need the cam belt work doing would have a ball park budget figure on how much it is likely to cost .

Thanks for your replies, I have decided to get the belt changed as part of the service this week

Am due to have my '09 plate XC60 serviced in the next couple of months. Its just done 55k miles.

The volvo dealer advised that the cambelt at this mileage/age was not part of the schedule.

Incidentally, they quoted a cost of £420 for the service but offered a discount that brought it down to £350. They were very keen for my business.

Which model XC60? The T6 has a chain - not a belt.

I have a 2009 XC60 now with 104,000 miles. At the 6 year service it happened I approached 2 Volvo dealers - one said change at 6 years/108000 mi and the other 8years/108000 mi. So I went Volvo Cars UK and they didn't know! So they contacted various dealerships and came back to me with 108000mi or 8 years. I know mine needs to be changed soon on account of the mileage. I hope this helps.

They are all wrong , it is 108000 miles or 10 years , but you are close to 108000 miles now so get all the belts and tensioners and pulleys changed at your next service .
