I'm new to this forum, and I hope I'm posting in the right place. Do I need to replace my cambelt yet? I have a 2001 V70, 2.4 petrol 170 bhp. I have owned it from new. The cambelt (kit) and water pump were replaced in Aug 2007 (6 yrs old) at mileage 78k. Now the car has done 126k. So that's 7 yrs and 48k miles. I'd prefer to leave it another year but obviously if there's any risk ... I've been told by a non-Volvo dealer that it is not possible to inspect the cambelt to see if it needs changing. I appreciate that there are other components that also need to be replaced. I see in the service history no mention of an auxiliary belt being replaced. Thanks for your advice. Alec (Berkshire)
