Timing belt interval.

[john656]

Hi all,
Done a quick search but no sure answer. I'll be buying a haynes book of lies tomorrow anyhow, but, whats the volvo specified intervals between cambelts 2007 v70 t5. 90k seems to be a number popping up a bit (don't worry I wouldn't let it go that far), but 60k seems to be a happier and more sensible number. Anyway what do the swedes say?

Thank you in advance

John

I was lead to believe it was 70k although mine did 130k between belt changes. i think i got lucky lol.
you got yourself an ex plod now John?

just had mine done was on 89k but for my car it said 96k cost me £253 all in

Yep took the plunge. outside is nice and straight, inside is how you would expect. Its on 119k so got me thinking. Wanted to use it for a month or so give it a bit of a shake down and see if anything needed attention. Then a full service with a belt kit if applicable in July.

Will do, any one know how hard the timing belts are to do on these tubs?

[M-R-P]

It's been done but my local indy charged 183 quid to do it. The kit itself is about 120.

60 quid to do the timing belt thats very cheap make sure you get some warranty from them i got a full year with mine from a volvo Specialist.

How much from a dealer are they not cheaper than that?

[M-R-P]

it's roughly 420, 7 hours at £45 an hour + VAT. I doubt the dealer would be cheaper and they probably wouldnt let me supply my own parts. They charge £800 for a flywheel...

[Jimmie]

Should have said how much from YOUR dealer
Just paid £372 +Vat thats with discount.
Did they charge me to much?

[M-R-P]

what did you get for your 372+vat?i don't bother getting quotes from main stealers because i know theyre gonna try and bend me over ***£735 for a bloody speedo***
