[@chrispenn715]

Wouldn't worry about offending Volvo. I think it's offensive that an auxiliary belt failure could destroy an engine 😂

[@Charlie_Crown]

It's criminal, bad design flaw 👍

[@davidpayne7898]

Especially with low miles volvo should replace it

[@markf4720]

Absolutely! Couldn't believe it at first when I heard that, thought it was still the 1st for a minute.

[@martinsadler707]

I’ve seen this several times over the years. This is the first Volvo seen with it but Fords, Merc and several others. Not unusual unfortunately - key is get your car serviced regularly.

[@ged3680]

Good morning Rob and Chris, another great video, just arrived in India, watching you both from New Delhi. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@renefredriksen4589]

Volvo Mechanich here, this is typicall when the aux belt breaks on these, The cylinder head gets all the beating, the hole where t he hydraulic tappers is placed in breaks. the piston and engine block it self "never" breakes. A new head and the engine is back up and running with no problems. One of the main reasion for the aux belt to go bad is the freewheel on the alternator. check that carefully before reasembly

[@madalinnicolae5594]

Hi there, recently bought a volvo xc60 2017 R des from copart, 73k on the mile, nice on the outside, couple of issues as I received it, it's a run and drive but with the following error codes on the dash: ESC service required, soot filter full, city safety service required ( idk what this is ) ESC temporarily off. Now I knew from the start this car would be needing some maitenance, but I got it for a good deal, so investing in it wont be so bad, it depends how much would it cost me if you'd know? I got my mechanic booked for Thursday but I'm on pins and needles by then!

[@cypeman8037]

Love how Chris is always correcting Rob regarding facts, figures and the general story.

[@jamesallen712]

Yep. D4/D5 engines do that. 54,000 for the aux belt and 108,000 for the cam belt. If you rebuild the car check the rear suspension bushes (rubber cushions on the rear pivot point) and the front screen isnt leaking as they are a known fault for coming unbonded. Its a pre 2014 model (twin round exhausts) so it's likely to be one that does.

[@Dalbayob69]

I service my XC70 every year regardless of mileage. Usually 3-4k a year. That belt is less than £20 and takes few min to replace so I replace it as well. Preventative maintenance. I also recommend doing gearbox oil flush and change. Volvo as every other manufacturer says it’s lifetime fluid but it’s not. Same with Haldex and rear diff fluid. Wont be a big project for you guys, but will be more costly than others. Looking forward to next videos on this car.

[@davidstuart9695]

It is not the belt, but the tensioner seizing that is the problem. Closer to £100 for a OEM belt and tensioner. Then a couple of hours to fit if you are not a spanner monkey (most people aren’t). Costs rack up. Not saying it is not worth it, just that it isn’t £20. Biggest problem is that when cars get bought and sold and maintenance is done outside of the Volvo network (who uses Volvo at £150+/h once the car is well out of warranty), the catastrophic consequences of changing the belt/tensioner are not known.

[@Dalbayob69]

@@davidstuart9695 yes, in most cases it’s either the tensioner or alternator clutch pulley that causes the wear on the belt. I have both of those changed on mine. But even then after about a year I notice sides of belt getting shredded slightly. So for my piece of mind I change it every year with the oil and filter service. The other part of the problem is people who either don’t know or don’t want to know anything. That’s why whenever I buy a car I change all fluids and belts regardless of how extensive the service history is.

[@Dalbayob69]

@C H no, because you’re supposed to service it every 10k miles or 12 months. Some people only go by mileage and ignore the age. And since I do it myself full service with original parts cost me £150. That’s nothing for annual service.

[@1066qw]

Full credit to the mechanic at Volvo- he diagnosed the situation perfectly and provided advice to the owners (albeit pretty unwelcome guidance) without needing to massively disassemble (and run up more costs). Liked the additional touch of removing starter relay too! Rubbish situation allround though.

[@MrCrugwit]

Had exactly same problem after aux belt failure on an XC90, but it smashed most of the tappets out of the head! I highly recommend Autotech Cylinder Heads down in Cornwall... they actually repair these heads and supply fully re-conditioned at a reasonable price, they also supplied me with the full head gasket set and bolts... defo worth a shout!

[@pbb81]

It is important to use Volvo's own belts. They don't fray in the same way, they break straight off instead. The reason that the belts break is that you drive them for too long or that you have bad idlers or freewheels on the generator.

[@petter5721]

Volvo original 👍🏻

[@johnmontague4245]

Nice bit of investigation there gentlemen. I’m always impressed by how easy you both make it look and the methodical approach to checking out the various options. Looking forward to the follow up on this one. Cheers guys.

[@andrewpreston4127]

Thank you. I love how you both address whether a car is worth repairing, then methodically work through it all. No long rants, screaming meltdowns, spanners flying across the workshop.....

[@jibz6056]

I am totally hooked on your videos. I love how in depth you go and how much care u guys do when repairing a car, thank you to you and Chris for all the videos you do and appreciate all u do

[@byronmills5952]

A common issue on D5 Volvo's - its the Alternator clutch pulley seizing that normally causes it. Very strange to see it go at such a low milage though - my own owned from new D5 needed a new alternator pulley at 196k miles.

[@patrickh7368]

I don’t know …. Jeez… as someone who’s been involved in Design all his working life … I watch KZbin videos seeing these modern engines, who comes up with these ideas and who approves them..! I don’t get this at all… but it’s just my opinion I guess…🤷🏻‍♂️

[@fivedotsdave9723]

This is a common fault on modern engines, usually the first part to fail is the aux belt tensioner (it starts to rattle) it then causes the belt to shred, then the shredded belt gets wrapped around the timing belt crank pulley which then causes the timing belt to slip and jump teeth, very few engines are non interference. So if you here that tensioner rattling get it fixed ASAP

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

Amazed that a failing auxiliary belt caused that much damage. If it had been the cam belt it would be more understandable. Thanks for another interesting video. Good luck with getting another head at a viable price. It looks like there are recon ones out there.

[@richcarter2294]

Snapped the aux belt on our XC70 last year at 70k and it just dropped to the floor. Thought nothing of it and simply got it replaced. Didn’t realise the risk that this could happen and how lucky we were!! Look forward to pt2…

[@TerryG7wrs]

A bit of in-depth video I do like it when you show us the ins and outs keep up the great content.

I stick to old rear wheel drive Volvo redblocks. 2.3 litre petrol. Had 3 over the last 20 years. 1986 740 GLE, B230K, carb, manual estate in 2003, £425. Owned 6years. 1989 240 GLT Auto estate. Daily driver for 8 years, owned 10 years. Paid £350, sold for £500 in 2018 with 233,000 miles. Ran perfect. Now have a 1996 940 auto estate with the B230FK, petrol, Low pressure turbo,auto estate. Again cost £250 6 years ago. On 208,000 miles. All bought cheaply and easy to look after. A good reliable workhorse. My 940 is a non interference design but change the cambelt for a genuine Volvo one and tensioner every 5 years or 50,000miles, whichever comes first.

[@petrolhead28]

The reason I drive bangers. No value no obligation. Old luxury German cars are well made and surprisingly reliable

[@tomtodhunter1776]

Lovely car, though it looks like it hasn't had the easiest life. I can't believe how choked with carbon it is for 54,000 miles. I sincerely hope that the damage is only to the head. I'm really looking forward to seeing this progress. Top work. 👍

[@zzzycho]

Interesting video, as an XC60 owner who has replaced my belts and pulleys at 100k(all Volvo parts fortunately), I look forward to seeing how this pans out. Had never heard of this scenario before, looking forward to your next video. Just subscribed in case I miss it, cheers.

[@andrewwilson1118]

Getting into the nitty gritty of the job ,love watching you digging around and coming up with a plan 👍👍👍👍

[@tomball84]

I'm a big fan of these cars. I drive one, my wife drives one and I've bought, fixed & sold many over the last few years. I haven't started watching the video yet but if its belt related, the castings in the cylinder head will have sheared off. Autotech Cylinder Heads in Cornwall do exchange heads with UPS delivery, they aren't cheap but you'll definitely make your money back & then some. When I have one of these to sell, the phone rings off the hook and it's normally gone in a couple of days.

[@sruk]

We already found them 👍

[@mondodaftasabrush]

@@sruk Have you bought one ? interesting if they re weld them and re machine them ? ready to fit for a bag of sand understand why so many sold for spares or repair due to parts costs and labour rates never mind a stealer charges

[@tomball84]

@@sruk Excellent, you may as well stop searching now, I went through the same trauma last year and Ian was fantastic. Good news is yours is a D4 AWD, so only 1 turbo to remove! You'll do so much better in this deal than I did with mine, looking forward to seeing it all done.

[@tomball84]

@@mondodaftasabrush Yes they re-weld and re-machine the head, check the cams, rockers, tappets etc and fit replacements if required and ship it out with UPS which is 1-2 day delivery. They also call you up and give you tons of fitting & parts advice without having to ask. I used them last year and they were the smoothest part of the repair process. The price is plus VAT and they waived the core charge despite never dealing with me before, all they asked was that the head was packaged as they sent it and to call them when it was ready to collect.

[@n8ydogg]

Seen this time and time again on the d5 engines. Aux belt goes into the cambelt, puts the timing out, piston hits valves, the force goes through the valve, into the hydraulic lifter and shatters it out of the cylinder head. As soon as the rocker cover/inlet is removed you will see the carnage! Replaced a few cylinder heads because of this issue in my time 👍

[@matthewrevell-hough8894]

[@arcadeuk]

I've got a V70 R design with exactly the same failure. For some reason, people don't think it's important to change the accessory belt as per the schedule, and just wait for them to snap. You can get a Gates belt for under £20 and it's a 5 minute job to replace. Once I get it rebuilt, I'll probably change the belt every 25k instead of the specified 50k

[@el_micha]

Some other commentor mentioned an aftermarket device that can prevent the aux belt getting caught up in the pulley. You might want to investigate on that I think.

[@longyx321]

Very interesting.. I recently had the belts and tensioner done my 40k xc60. Fortunately the old parts were in good nick.. Be nice to see your next video on t rebuild.

That's a hell of a design flaw when an auxillary belt snapping can cause all that damage, if mine snaps it would just fall on the floor and allow the battery to drain.

[@marksutherland774]

Yep, might even be deliberate because common sense would say but a shield or something in the way so the broken belt just ends up on the road something and not get tangled in moving parts of the engine. Most cars I've seen, no mechanic, the timing belt is pretty well protected from something as simple as this.

[@graemew7001]

@@marksutherland774 Like you I'm no mechanic but know what I'm looking at when it comes to cars and this design beggars belief, I've never heard of the like before. I think I'd be changing the belt every 12k miles/ 12 months as a huge precaution and visually checking it regularly.
