Alternator belt failure
Car just had major service including cambelt rollers tensioners at Volvo dealer.
Four weeks later alternator belt failure with cambelt apparently jumped. Huge bill coming. Dealer is stating it’s the alternator that has failed not their work. Has anyone else had their alternator fail in such a way? Gonna get an independent in spection as this will make the car a write off Grrrrrr |

In your earlier post you asked if the interval is 72000 miles. If this is the same engine as in V70 etc it is not! It is 54000. Sadly you will have wrecked your engine as a result...this is an Achille's heal in these engines

Nope not my fault
Quote:
And if you read the post the engine had the tensioners and both belts changed four weeks before the failure. So nope I’ve not wrecked my engine dude. I find it far to coincidental that work was carried out so close to this issue. Last edited by haynesbookoflies; Jun 1st, 2019 at 17:16. |

Thanks, didn't know that these engines were different. I assumed that they were all the same.
