i've just checked my invoice from Swindon Volvo Main Dealer in December 2010. I asked them to do Cambelt as it was approaching 90k. (2006/185/D5) They've charged me for Belt kit + Belt (£98+£35). Total was £290 inc vat. Would the "Kit" include all of the above or just the Cambelt? Have they missed the auxillery belt?

Presume that was the same as me as the price is = - belt kit on my invoice, but they definitely mentioned the serpintine belt - maybe worth a call though. Does anyone know the Volvo meaning of belt change - does it include all belts? |

Belt change means timing belt. It's the only scheduled change. The other seem to be change when deteriorated to when they need it. However, experience and many apparant failures, means that most people take the prudent route and change the lot. The belts seem to be the best parts and the failures seem to be in the tensioners and bearings. It adds £100 to the price but for another 96k miles I kinda think it's worth it.

So now even the older models get the cam belt kit ( cambelt , tensioner , idler and sticker ) and auxiliary belt , tensioner and idler roller . The 2009 D5 gets the auxiliary belt and improved tensioner changed at 54000 service , so best stick with the manufacturers change schedule , a lot of non volvo garages wont know this . Water pumps are never changed they are totaly reliable they have to be checked for leaks and rough bearings at the cambelt change but safe to re use them as long as they are ok , I have never seen a bearing fault on one of these water pumps since they were launched on the 960 engine in 1990 . Thermostat has to be changed on the T6 models at cambelt change time as it is mounted behind the cambelt and often fails within 20000 miles of the belt being changed purely on a time /mileage basis .

If there's nothing in the service book then it hasn't been done properly.
A proper belt change always results in an entry in the service book, so that the reader / next owner is not left guessing..... ...you are now guessing, which is not a good place to be. So now you need to scrutinize the service book, and if the scheduled time for the cam belt change has passed with no record of the belt ever having been changed, you must always assume the booklet is correct, and the belt has not been changed. Assuming the belt was changed when it hasn't been, and thus missing the scheduled belt change date, runs the risk of a broken cam belt and major engine damage. Are you willing to take that risk.... ??

That's not necessarily true. My 2007 XC90 has been fully serviced by Volvo dealers through its entire life and has every stamp in the service book. But there's nothing in the service book to say the cambelt was changed in April this year (before I bought it), even though I have the receipt from the dealer and there is a sticker from the dealer under the bonnet.

..... or have a look at the belt and pulleys for their date stamp.
If they're stamped 2016 for example, they're obviously recent parts.
