D5 Auxiliary Belt
Hi,
I am after a bit of help. I have an XC60 D5 that has just shed it's auxiliary belt which then took out the cam belt. Crunch! I always get it MOT's, serviced and repaired at the same garage and they have been great in the past. The alternator and I assume belt were only replaced by my garage less than 500 miles ago. The alternator was replaced due to bearing issues. At the time I mentioned that the tensioner pulley was probably the problem because the rescue guy had stuck in his long screw driver and we had had a listen after he got it restarted. Lots of chirping and grinding. After the alternator was replaced it did all sound better, so I assumed it was all ok. The garage are now facing me with a huge bill, almost 3K and I'm not sure it should be me paying. Any thoughts on this. Many thanks |

Volvo's relationship with the VAG D24 goes back to the 200 series LHD only not imported I believe they were non turbo. D24T's were definitely in the 700's as well, including the sadly never officially imported 780 :-)
