I have a Haynes manual but by the looks of the pictures it refers to the euro3 engine and not the Euro4!

Haynes is fine for timing pin locations as the Euro 3 and 4 block is the same.

The compression test is available on Vida but you also need an extra DC power source to keep the Dice awake during cranking.

I sell Dice and Vida for £100 delivered.
Mine are all tested and known working, unlike the ones on eBay, Alibaba etc.

So I've had the timing pins made to the drawings in the Haynes manual but neither of them seem to go into where they should. I did get them made by a precision machinist so maybe they are too accurate.

Does anyone have timing pins which they have purchased ?

If so could you help me by measuring the diameters of the different sections of the pins so I can get mine modified to the correct size ?

The more accurate measurement the better!

Any help would be appreciated ??

Does anyone have the Volvo diagnostics that could help me out by plugging my car in ?

Near LA5 post code ?

I have been reading this thread with interest.

I had my Aux belt go a few months ago, unfortunatly going up a big hill. I live in france and had they car taken to a local garage. Seems like the steering pump was the cause.

Cam belt was intact but car would not start. Garage said they could fix it but the cost was high €1200 just for new steering pump.

Then they said the engine was damaged. Cam belt still intact at this stage. The cost for repair was now rediculas so had the car moved to my house. However, to save money I did not get the garage to replace or reasemble any parts. On collection I noticed the cam belt had been removed. Not sure why?

I have spent some time ensuring the timing is lined up (which it was upon collection) and replaced steering pump thanks to ebay and You Tube. Last night I fittied the new auxillary belt and turned the engine over by hand. turned over but not at a constant resistance.

Tonight I will try to start the engine. Fingers crossed.

Again found this thread nvery helpful.

Why are you saying that you have timing pins and everything is set up correctly then you're saying that you've had timing pins made but they won't fit?

[Veedubmad]

Thought I had it timed up properly using the marks.

Had the pins made to the exact size in the Haynes but obviously to a tighter tolerance than the bought ones would be.

Anyway, the engine is now timed perfectly using the pins and it is still running like its one cylinder down.

I'm going to do a compression test and see what that points to.

I have started stripping the engine in preparation for replacing the cam belt and have found that the aux drive belt which drives the air con (small belt) has snapped and lodged its self within the cam belt area causing it to split almost the full length of the belt but not snapping the belt.

I have turned the crank clockwise until the timing marks line up on the cam sprocket and cam belt cover and would appreciate and info on what the orientation of the crank pulley should be so I have an initial indication of whether the belt has slipped a tooth or more and whether it is worth replacing the belt and progressing the rebuild.

I have pics to show my findings but am struggling to up load them!

Thanks

you have to take off the crankshaft pulley to see the mark on the lower gear , there is no other way , you have to be accurate here !

Well my Volvo V70 D5 did not start, it turned over but would not fire. Have cleaned injectors and double checked everything. Need to charge battery again before giving it another go. will try to upload a video to you tube.
