IPD Volvo - Timing Belt 850 70 series Volvos 1993 thru 1998

[@Daninater]

Thanks, I'll use this for my imaginary car with a walk up engine for easy access. A+++

to avoid damage to the lower tensioner bolt or threads in the block.... 1....Loosen the lower bolt slightly. 2....Remove the upper bolt. 3....Pry the tensioner to the left to release all pressure. 4....Now remove the lower bolt Just might be a good idea to turn the engine over a couple time by hand/wrench & Double Check the Alighment Marks before installing the covers

[@IPDTheVolvoSpecialists]

Thank you for the sound advice!!

[@jamesmacdonald3090]

What about torque settings, why replace the cover before rotating? Most DIY/garages don't remove the flywheel and yes it does seem very easy when you do it on a bench and doesn't cover the pain of getting to this point which really is the hard part with restricted space!

[@SHAWNPAULCARLSON]

Of course you did this with the engine out if the car, I needed to remove that tensioner from inside the car. Now I know what size wrench I need.

[@sirdavester]

Is it still required to check timing after installing a new belt if you had the cams locked with a locking tool.

[@ANDthe3]

Shouldn't you hand crank the engine over before you install the timing cover to make sure all the marks line back up?

@Enoch Patrick thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@nikocreed8244]

@Enoch Patrick it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

[@enochpatrick4498]

@Niko Creed glad I could help =)

Very helpful thx

[@JaimeWarlock]

Ha ha, so easy when you remove the engine from the car.

[@Twobarpsi]

Or the car from the engine 😃

[@JaimeWarlock]

@@Twobarpsi I gave up and bought another car. Not like the old days in the seventies when I removed the head from a car, had it cleaned, polished, and reinstalled that night.

[@Twobarpsi]

@@JaimeWarlock I'm holding on to my 1998 V70 T5 dinosaur. Bought it 11 years ago, nothing but problems, but I do like it.

[@JaimeWarlock]

@@Twobarpsi MIne was great till the day it popped the head gasket (or cracked the block, can't be sure). I loved the ride, was confortable, felt safe, and always stayed dry inside despite the humid climate. Who knows, I might buy another one some day when I have the proper facilities to fix it.

So I replaced my water pump timing belt tensioner and roller and my belt is routed correctly but I can’t seem to get tension on it .. is there a reason I’ve tried two different belts thinking that was the issue and same thing

[@hiro0500]

is there a problem with the tensioner like a leak and did u put the plastic thingy back on the tensioner?

[@ragnheidurgretarsdottir2294]

I know it's an old comment, but the belts come in two lengths 144 and 148 teeth.
