How to fit timing belt new shape s40 2.0d
HOW I CHANGED TIMING BELT ON MY NEW SHAPE VOLVO S40 2.0D Chock back wheels of car. Raise drivers side front of car and put on stand. Remove mud shield from within wheel arch to expose engine side view and crank pulley. Remove protective under tray from car. Unbolt and remove top plastic cover timing belt cover. Put wheel back on car and lower car to ground again but slightly raised to gain excess to crank pulley from front of the car. Remove and lift expansion tank within the engine compartment to one side. Remove starter motor. Remove drivebelt by turning tensioner with ring spanner. Next lock to camshaft pulley by placing 5mm drill bit in the inner surace - only one hole present and locking position is at 3 o'clock. Lock flywheel teeth with Volvo locking tool or screwdriver or crowbar. Remove TDC sensor bottom left of crank pulley. Next undo crank pulley bolt using a quality socket piece and extension tube. Make sure the socket fits firmly and completely onto the bolt - no second chances here if you chew head of!! Use WD40 to help loosen. This bolt is very tight so all four wheels on the ground!! I found that some needs to push head of rachet with piece of wood from side of car whilst other person loosens bolt. This bolt is tight so be very very careful - think tactics before doing anything. Again use WD40!!! You may need to move bolt backwards and forwards to help it come out. Gently does it please!! Raise front drivers side front off ground Once bolt off remove pulley without dropping and carefully remove TDC sensor ring underneath without damaging circumference. Remove black plastic timing belt cover now. Lock screwdriver into flywheel so bottom of engine does not move. Mark exposed timing cog with tipex and also on engine so as to record position. Slacken timing belt tensioner and remove. Remove timing belt pulley and also water pump (drain water from radiator first). Place bucket under engine when removing water pump. Fit new water pump using sealant on surfaces and replace timing pulley with new one - do not over tighten water pump bolts as you may break head so careful does it. Fit timing belt tensioner and timing belt carefully and fit to instructions supplied. Make sure you fit timing belt as per your markings. Rest is just reversal of what you did but work carfully and don't forget to add water to engine and make sure you fit NEW crank pulley bolt available from the volvo dealership for a couple of quid. The above is the procedural experience is what I did to my car and strictly speaking is rough idea of what is involved. If you intend to do change yoursel then you need to read Haynes manual few times on the procedure before attempting. My experience highlighted that damage to the crank bolt head can scupper the whole job so make sure you get this blighter loose first before doing any further work. Remember there is no need to take of engine mount as there is space to work around.
