C70 (2011) Timing Belt plus what else.

[Beran]

I need to change the Timing belt.
One volvo specialist says I do not need to change the water pump at the same time but I do need to change the A/C belt, plus coolant, antifreeze etc. £400.

Another says Timing belt and water pump are done at the same time, no mention of the A/C belt.

As am going to have the timing belt changed, what other work is sensible to do at the same time. Thanks

without knowing Which engine its a bit difficult to be specific,
in General
Timing belt
Timing belt tensioner
Aux belt
Aux belt tensioner

mainly as you Usually have to take the aux belt off to get to the timing belt, and tensioners while your in there

Plus water pump if it is of unknown age. It's not that expensive and the timing belt has to come off to replace it.

volvo water pump are well known for longevity and can last at least 2 belt changes do all the belts and tensioners /pulleys check alternator freewheeling pully change fluid in the gearbox if its an auto./geartronic.
