Hello. It was probably the wheel on the alternator that is supposed to compensate for vibrations. In norwegian it is called a freewheel. When the bearing inside the wheel is stuck, the extra vibrations on the belt will cause it to wear out very quickly, and will cause massive force on the tensioner and every parts involved. There where no noises or warning before it happened, and it took about 2 seconds. I do not know about the service on the belt and parts that involves because I have only own the car for 6 months. After som research on the subject, the freewheel on the alternator is the cause of most of these cases, but very few people are aware of that. Sorry for my bad English....☺

I vould like to buy the protection kit from you. I do not have access to my car at the moment, but I will check if the kit will fit my car very soon. I live in Norway and I have a Paypal account.
Will fit your car, but I am not willing to send to Norway, as it would be way too expensive for you.

I am willing to pay the costs for shipping and tax. The repair on my engine is approximately 4800gbp.... please help me to secure that this won't happen again. The other option is to sell the car....

You are far better off putting that money towards just changing the belt and wheels at the correct interval or changing it now to be safe , as far as i gather this device has not been tested ? anyone confirm? What would you do if the device did not work when you wanted it to? There are massive forces involved when the Aux belt lets go and tangles with the cam belt .

I have a 212bhp engine D5 in an XC70, built 2012. Does it mean that I don't need one?

You should not need one if the Aux.belt is changed every 54000 miles,
and the cambelt , roller and tensioner , aux belt and tensioner are changed every 108000 miles or 10 years which ever comes first ,
And the various recalls for the aux belt and tensioner are up to date ...
and finally investigate any mechanical / rotating noises from the engine bay before they cause harm .

good advice, in my experience tensioners and belts don't just fail they get progressively worse over thousands of miles ,and they usually make a right racket for a long time before they fail.

Clan, could you please STOP posting on every post, how bad this device is, expensive, not tested, not confirmed, better off with new belts etc.
Gets really annoying!!
It's all been discussed before in this thread - you need new set of belts, tensioners, pulleys etc, but it WILL NOT save your engine from failing from my and others experience. It can FAIL without any obvious reasons. This kit is extra protection.
Why don't you come up with your inventions, solution or reason why it's failing..
CAN NOT? Then be quiet!

NO I AM NOT SELLING THEM ANYMORE, due to obvious reasons above.
