D24 timing belt replacement

Timing belt replacement done the correct way, any questions feel free to ask.
I can and will do the timing belt on these engines, if thats something you would be interested in, again please ask.
Thanks
Willvg
NOTE: this procedure is very important. Timing belt failure is possibly the biggest killer of these engines, either because most mechanics shy away from it and it doesnt get done, or if mechanics do not do the job correctly!

what did you use to seal the idler pulley bolt to stop oil leak ?

[@JinderSongs]

A quick Q, my '95 940 diesel needs a cambelt change and I'm struggling to get a reasonable quote for it. What sort of money should I be looking to pay to get it done? I've run redblock cars for many years but this is my first diesel example. I love the car and engine, and am keen to get it done properly!

[@keithstathers2268]

I'm guessing the cam lock tool goes into the cam shaft after the rear pulley is removed.. I couldn't much tell from the video. I'm a VW tech, and this is a VW built engine (although, this is the first I've ever had to deal with one of these), so the pump lock tool looks a lot like VW's 4- cylinder diesel pump lock tool- I'm guessing the cam lock tool looks familiar to this one also (the 4mm piece of steel you spoke of in this video). I'll update my comment after I'm done (the VW 4 cylinder Diesel tools aren't that bad to locate, and they might be the same).

Cool video. I wish there was much more light. How`s your car now?

[@Foghorn117]

Hey ! I'm in canada and have a euro 1989 volvo 760 d 24tic. And I need a re seal kit. Could you guys know a place i could order one? Thank you!

[@willvangemeren2661]

What seals are you after exactly? A full gasket set, or cam/ crank main seals etc ?

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

I did not set my engine at top dead center before I took it apart so what should I do to get the cam at top dead center

[@willvangemeren2661]

Lawnmower16 2012 To set the cam correctly, you need either the cam locking tool, or make your own using a piece of flat plate 4.50mm thick, this fits into the offset slot on the back of the cam beneath the rear pulley

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

Will Van Gemeren thanks for the info its not that easy to find for these engines

[@willvangemeren2661]

This is very true, those with little patience will say that this is a terrible engine, but i do all i can to prove those people wrong

[@ikutiap5923]

If you have the greenbook manual for this engine, you will kbow how to go around the job. ... it explains everything very well.

[@ikutiap5923]

The Needed Torque on that bolt is huge. How did you achieve it??? Because your engine is on a pallet....did you have helpers?

[@willvangemeren2661]

The engine was on a stand when I built it , but you have to be strong to do it with one hand for sure!

[@ikutiap5923]

Will Van Gemeren So on the stand, how did you stabilize the engine enough to give it the proper torque without tipping the engine over or breaking bolts that hold it on the stand? Im just wondering. Bc in a car it is reached easier. Big strong tool and the weight of the car does the stabilizing. But on an emgibe stand you have challenges. I felt like my d24 wants to flip over or break off the stand so i could not continue to add the proper torque

[@willvangemeren2661]

@@ikutiap5923 I have a fairly sturdy engine stand, rated at 750kg I think. Maybe I had a friend hold the engine back as well. I can't remember, anyway. Yes that is indeed something to take into consideration

[@bernteinar906]

please do a full change, would help alot. have a 940 with this later engine 96model. need it because im not a mecanic:) Thanks from Norway:)

[@willvangemeren2661]

bernt einar Thanks for the comment. I just quickly knocked together this video after a friend asked about some of the things you need to know about doing the job, as you can see. There is lots ! Next time i do a timing belt i will be sure to film it if there is interest in it.

[@superbracey]

Hi. Just out of curiosity, where are you in the country and could you PM me a rough labour and parts cost for this job in my 1996 DTIC. Id not attempt it myself. Cheers from Lancashire.

[@adamfletcher4262]

Does the crank bolt need to be replaced ?

[@willvangemeren2661]

Its not a stretch bolt, so provided it is in good condition, i.e not stretched then no, it doesnt

[@adamfletcher4262]

@@willvangemeren2661 sound some people say replace it but I thought the same myself

[@adamfletcher4262]

The Volvo manual I have says front cam pulley 45nm

[@willvangemeren2661]

You are correct sir! A fluff in my ranting!

[@oliverdavis1201]

Could I borrow that tool😄😄 any chance you could send me some dimensions of it so I can make one. I can't find one anywhere.

[@straycat1081]

Oliver Davis, Do you mean tool 5188 wrench with extension arm for torqueing center bolt? I need the dimensions too. Let me know if you find them and I will too.

[@willvangemeren2661]

Hey folks. Basically for the torque extension tool, weld a 27mm socket to an half inch x 2 inch bar and broach a half inch drive hole into it. I will get you the length as soon as i can

[@straycat1081]

@@willvangemeren2661 Great, because without the extension handle you would need a torque wrench capable of reaching over 400 foot pounds for the crank bolt.

[@andrewwoodhouse7678]

Hi there, do you have a number i could call you in, I have one of these engines and want to tune it for a little more power.

[@superbracey]

Are you a mechanic or an engine DIYer? If you're a mechanic for a living, I'm probably getting due for a cambelt change on my '96 D24TIC and would like to entrust the job to someone familiar with these engines. It's not something I'd dream of tackling myself.

[@willvangemeren2661]

Im not a mechanic, but im an engineer by trade, but i do run a buisness looking after old scrap such as rwd volvos, but i focus on british stuff. Yes i can and have done a good few D24 cambelts for customers. Send me a message good sir

Where are you from i need to borrow timing tools off someone in the UK 😀

[@willvangemeren2661]

Im in the uk, but my timing tools are my timing tools, too rare to lend out!

[@adamfletcher4262]

@@willvangemeren2661 any ideas where I could buy some really in need just bought a 740 TD and the belt is in terrible condition I can't even start it in fear of it snapping belts idler and water pump are on order just need tools now 🤔

[@willvangemeren2661]

But i do offer a full timing belt & water pump replacement service for £250 labour, plus parts.

[@willvangemeren2661]

Best bet is to be patient, i made a few of my tools, i have seen different bits turn up on ebay, but you have to be a hawk when they come up. Tools for these engines are even more rare than the engines themselves!
