Alas a bad cam belt or cam belt tensioner does not make a sound before it fails. The water pump might, although they tend to leak first. Aux belt failures can result in cam belt failures if they happen at high power as the belts are just too close. One advantage of cam chains was that such failures did not happen and chains often made more noise before they failed.

Not sure which engine you've got but my T4 has no casting and only one aux belt, mines the euro 4 185hp from '06

That's what it turned out to be in the end. The Haynes manual is incorrect in a number of respects. There is an incomplete depiction of the belt routings for the 5 cylinder models. Yours and mine are not shown for some reason. Furthermore, when attempting to fit the new belt, the Haynes makes no mention of the necessity to draw the tensioner temperature setting lug across to the right in order to get sufficient slack to get the timing belt over the water pump sprocket. Though Cheshire5d's D5 is not the same as mine, he does cover this vital point in his video on timing belt changing, which I viewed right through for the first time after spending 6 fruitless hours trying to get the belt on a la Haynes. Cheshire5d's engine is different in other respects, too; he has more space to work in. The design of my variant seems to be laid out to make life as difficult as possible for anyone attempting belt replacement. In order to draw the tensioner across, I had to fasten a cable tie around it and pull the end of that with pliers because there was no room to get my hand in close enough to get a finger tip on it. What with one thing and another: nightmare!

just replaced the timing belt, tensioner and idler pulley + water pump on my 2009 xc90 with 91555 miles at 9 years of age, Mobile fitter £320. we checked the aux belt which was like new, no cracks or deterioration found, checked the alternator, steering pump and air con pulleys, no issues, wear or noises detected. as for the old timing belt and pulleys, they also were sound, no bearing noises or wear detected and the belt was in good condition with no signs of cracks or unusual wear. it appears that some timing belt failures are connected with worn idler/pulleys on the aux belt side but he told me you should get some indication of an impending failure by hearing sounds from the bearings if wearing out or worn.
he told me that the d5 engine is one of the best volvo ever made and with proper maintenance could last 200-300k miles. |
