Don`t cut the corners short,I`ve seen the results of that from customers.
Late last year i paid aprox £230 for aux belt, cam belt kit and water pump from rufe plus 2.5hours garage labour.
+1 to getting it done - as you know full well it will almost certainly snap now you know about it & turn your engine into tofu leaving you feeling like a dunce for not getting it done in the first place.
Dont have to be genuine one really cos it`ll be either a Dayco or Contitec so what is the point paying extra for a blue box?Do the thermostat while u at it too.
Attachment 23963Thanks for the help guys but I need to get the right cambel kit all i know it was M reg auto and have the cambelt cover in picture above!
Volvo dealer in Malton was doing oem cambelt kits for bout £60+vat for early stuff. Plus they should make sure it is the right one.Quote:

Cam-belt kit delco ktb429 is up to engine no:122**** and ktb316 is the later one.
And its the amount of teeth on the belt that's different aswell as the tensioner.
They changed the tensioner to a manual one at some point (can't remember the year) on the pre ME7 x70 range. Think they retrofitted them to older cars too (save on cost possibly?). My V70 has one because the engine was changed some years ago, must have been a newer engine.
Best to check the engine number on the back of the block (just below the water port on the back of the head)
cheers matey rang them this morning picking up tomoz £69 pound all in happy days so thought i would ring the dealer in hull said no can do it for that price.Quote:
