Thanks for the video. Me and my 16 year old daughter just used it to change out our 2002 V70 2.4T timing belt. Successfully and efficiently. Took 4 hours.
Great video - thank you very much. I did it yesterday and it took me 2 1/2 hours, following your detailed instructions. I really appreciate you listing the tools needed. It was pretty smooth - the worst part was cracking loose the over-torqued wheel nuts from the tire installers impact wrench!
I really did enjoy your well made tutorial. I have one ammendment: in Volvo Vidas workshop manual the 3 positions of the belt tensioner stand for: cold-minus 20C, warm-20C, hot-50C ambient temperature. So it is best to set it to the middle position with a cold engine instead of the cold position. otherwise the tension applied will be too much.
You guys are amazing. I am going to do a timing belt/water pump job today...have watched a few of your Volvo timing belt jobs and am now confident that it should go fairly smoothly... Thanks guys!
+1A Auto Parts Went well. You might want to mention that on some cars, there is a cap covering the tensioner bolt head on the serpentine belt. I was stumped until I jacked the car overhead and saw that it's just a pressure fit cap. Otherwise your instructions were superbly detailed! Good on you! I do have an engine light on, I'm figuring it has to do with coolant level (I changed the water pump too so I believe the car is still burping itself.) If not, what could be the culprit? And how do I turn off the "Time for Regular Maintenance" message? (I tried the method in your other video but it didn't seem to work...)
Got this, and the water pump done on my 2001 non-turbo, which was almost 40K overdue---first timing belt job ever, and took me over 7 hours. The old belt looked good, but the pulleys were definitely going; a good amount of grease was coming out of those bearings. My near-245K S60 is definitely happier. This video especially helped with the tensioner pulley segment. Thanks!
+Blue Falcon Thanks for watching. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair, we carry the auto repair part shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/1A/TimingBelts/Volvo/V70/1ATBK00041?UA-cam&CTA+Comment&Emsa-w-n93s
This is a great demonstration of the basic process for the timing belt. Generally, you should take the extra steps of replacing the oil pump gasket and o-ring, the front crank seal, and the water pump. It's a false economy to skip these items. Also, if you choose to replace the cam seals, know that the adjustable cam pulley has an o-ring in it that is a common failure. The pulley is not inexpensive, but if the o-ring leaks oil will end up on the timing belt. No bueno.
Also, the adjustable cam pulley(s) can move, and the oil pressure can bleed off the cam position solenoid and the cam can move in relation to the adjustable pulley. There are locking tools that go in the other end of the head to hold the cams. If they move on you, expensive things make contact. Again, no bueno.
What a superb video! I'm in the UK and just bought a 98 V70 2.5 20v, I shall be doing this when the weather gets warmer, nowhere near as bad as I imagined :D Thank you for such an informative video - makes owning one of these lovely cars even easier!
Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to produce this - tackled the timing belt on my brother's 2.4 at the weekend and all went smoothly thanks to this very helpful vid. Cheers.!
Thank you for your patience to show us the steps to change the timing belt. appreciated, one question, if timing belt breaks out, is it possible to get damaged cylinder head valves?

On my 2.5L T2 I've been told to always change the water pump with the belt? What is your opinion or your experience? Why not remove and inspect the spark plugs? It makes it so much easier to tun the crank.
Wouldn't the "1 revolution" you mentioned actually be 4 complete revolutions of the Crank Pulley, in order for the timing marks to be lined up? excellent video; very informative
Great tech help on this video. Gave me confidence to give it a try and saved me big $$$. Part kit came with belt, idler and tensioner, and water pump...@ $200. Cost me a Saturday afternoon, a little patience required to re-install belt, and was done. Best shop quote I got was $750 one was over $900! Thank you and my wallet thanks you!

Easy peezy. Did one on a 2002 V70XC. Runs great. Then I was told not to do those without a camshaft locking tool. Now I have to do one on a 2006 V70 and I'm nervous because it's all in my head that I could screw it up. Thoughts on locking the cams together?
Thank you for the great video. One of the first steps to completing this job is to remove the serpentine belt. For those Volvo owners that have a 2006 Volvo or older you just need a 14mm socket wrench or long-handled 14mm wrench to 'de-tension' the serpentine belt pulley in order to remove and install the serpentine belt. Starting with the 2007 model year XC70, Volvo engineers "designed-away" the simple 14mm fitting for the serpentine belt pulley tensioner. They "designed-in" a new T-60 Torx fitting into the serpentine belt pulley tensioner. 2007 model year and newer owners will need to buy a specialized tool for about $30. This will allow for them to remove and install the serpentine belt. Also, excellent advice to not remove the serpentine belt crankcase pulley (SBCP.) If you leave the SBCP in place it's more difficult to get the timing belt onto the crankcase timing belt gears but it's well worth the extra work. I worked from underneath the car while another mechanic worked from above and thru a push, pull and belt bending technique we were able to route the new timing belt onto the crankcase gear perfectly. Don't remove the SBCP unless you have the specialized tool that stabilizes the oscillation damper that's integrated into the SBCP.
Glad to see more professionals showing the job being done without taking off that crank hub . outside of the shop , I don't think its coming off for most people anyway.
Great video. I'm doing the job along with the water pump replacement and watching and installing as I go. Sure wish you would have provided toque specs as you reinstalled items though!
This is a great, explicit video on Timing belt replace diy, i just wanted to ask you at what position should i put the belt tensioner ? if my engine is cold (did not start it for 3 days), at the cold position ? or at the warm position ? just as a reference the outside temperature is 25c/77f. Hope to hear from you soon Thank you and keep it up !

Very good Video Thanks for sharing. I could not see any timing marks on the lower gear as I was looking in the wrong place.Thanks for just a little advertising and being a real tech.
Great work on this video. They're a big help for those of us who have these cars and are thinking of tackling these repairs. Any chance of doing one on the control arm bushing replacement. They're a notorious weak point and an apparently difficult job on these P2 chassis Volvos.
agreed! i was trying to go off the FCP euro vid exclusively, and it's very well done, but this one covers important info on the tensioner in way more detail! (and the screwdriver trick is a huge help)
Guys great video, where is the post that comes down to line up the crankshaft? Is it that little, as you call it "post" that is molded on the L shaped thing on the oil pump?
What if you can't get teeth to align for proper belt tension and have to change position of pulley and the timing looks slightly off cover marks, how precise must timing be?

You have been the most helpful for the aggravation from my 2000 Volvo s80 2.9l non turbo. I have to replace the radiator and fan. The thermostat is bad I think. I had replaced the radiator due to a crack in it.. well 2 days later the new one cracked same spot. The car never runs hot the gauge never goes over half way Mark. But I do have questions about electrical issues.. is there a way I can contact you and maybe ask advice
+Bridgett Fogle You may want to check the warranty on the radiator. If it was a part that you have purchased form us we carry a lifetime warranty on there. Here is a link to the radiator that we carry for your vehicle. Hope this helps you out goo.gl/eYXJzL
Before buttoning it all up,and with any timing belt change,make sure to turn the engine over by hand a couple of times and check that the timing marks come back in sequence....if you do this it may save you a lot of work,if you don't and something isn't right you could have to do it all over at the least and at the worst you could bend the valves and...well you know👍
Great video...took me about 4 hrs start to finish...of course stopping to watch video every 5 minutes!!! Make sure to check your engine serial number tho there are 2 different belts for this engine....THANKS!!
Is this the same procedure for an 2001 v70 turbo? What brand do you carry that is recomended.I feel I should buy from you since you posted the how to on doing the job,I don't care if it cost me a little more.

Dawn, before you decide to go to a garage, take a look at the FCP Euro vid on P2 timing belts. This is my first big piece of maintenance and between these two videos I found it totally doable. (I even replaced the water pump as well!)
+Gerald Speis Thanks for watching. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair, we carry the auto repair part shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/1A/TimingBelts/Volvo/V70/1ATBK00041?UA-cam&CTA+Comment&Emsa-w-n93s
Another great video from 1A! I've learned a lot from your videos, for instance, this is one repair I wont be trying. Too bad Volvo did not use a timing chain.
Do you have any instruction for how to timing the pulley and camshaft for intake system? If I need to replace the seal of camshaft pulley. Thank you in advance.
Some models of the Volvo have a plastic nipple that comes from the thermostat housing,sticks out of the timing cover and goes to the coolant expansion tank....that nipple is cheap plastic and usually snaps off if you ever touch it...if you ever have to replace it ,use a metal aftermarket one and cut off the quick connect and go with a regular clamp...Volvo will not sell the nipple without a whole new thermostat housing for $200 so be aware
Both Serpentine and Timing Belt did not go back on as easy as you made it look. Any additional tips would be appreciated. What finally worked for me is regarding the timing belt was fitting it on everything except the idler and then taking the tension off and sliding it over the idler roller. At 11:21 that is what you appear to be doing, please confirm. With the serpentine belt I do not have a Volvo specific tool but used another serpentine belt tool and still had difficulty getting enough slack to pull the belt over the power steering pulley. I finally used a ratchet but it required a second person to help me out. Thank you for the video.
TANX FOR SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TIMING BELT. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON PUTTING IN A NEW DASH BOARD FOR S80 2002 VOLVO, I WANT TO CHANGE THE DASH BOARD. YOUR GUIDE WILL BE HELPFULL RESPECTFULLY GR8 GRANDMASTER TAFARI
+Arben Vuthi That does not sound right. Without those markings it is virtually impossible to do the timing. They are going to be very small, so maybe you are having a hard time seeing them? If you cannot locate those marks then you will most likely have to take the vehicle to a Volvo dealership to have this service performed.
i have a question. what is with the right gear?? when i put the belt on. do i have it to turn right or have it to losen . i mean , i can move it a little bit from right to left. in which position does the wheel have to be in? greets...
+RAMÓN AQUINO We only replace the original water pump on the second timing belt on this vehicle. Original Volvo water pump will last 300000km (200000miles). This is also Volvo recommendation.
Water pumps on these Volvos are know to go thru to 2nd belt change. My indy shop doesn't recommend doing automatically. I assume the vehicle is not high mileage.
In other cars you need a special tool to hold the camshafts so they won't move and keep aligned with the set marks. I didn't see this part of the process in the video. Is Volvo engine different in this aspect? Do I need something to hold the camshafts in place "just in case"?
So u dont need a special cam lock tool to perform this operation? Many people say u gotta lock the cams in place but as shown in your video you dont need to do that
+DOsborne Thanks for checking us out! We are sorry to hear that, that is definitely a tough way to lose a vehicle. Perhaps another S70 will be in your future given how much you liked it. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What I'd like to know. Does every mechanic preforming this know that it has to be done exactly like you did it??? I need that done on my car but I'm afraid to get a bad mechanic who doesn't do this the way you did it.. Who do I take my 2004 V70 to?
look up indie shops that specialize in volvos, Ronald. Depending on where you are, there should be a few. Usually they also work on saabs and sometimes VW/BMW/Mercedes. You're better off with a european car specialist than any old mechanic, regardless.
ok so ive installed an aftermarket hks bov on my 01 v70 2.4t and after reving it up enough for the bov to release pressure the car stall whil returning to idle if i rev it up half way it tries to stall almost like the car shuts off for a second any tips or help would be appreciated
done this the other day. realised the car seemed a little down on power. so i hooked my obd2 up, and found the exhaust cam is out one tooth..... doh!! back to the garage
Loving how everyone is moaning about water pump, official Volvo workshop manual has 2 different spec changes for timing belt 60 - 80k is timing belts and both tensioners 135 - 155k is timing belt, tensioners and water pump along with a bunch of oil seals and pipes
+Track_FRS2 This video was just showing the timing belt replacement. Generally it is good practice to change the water pump as well when doing the timing belt.

Great video the best out there
is the belt directional ?
Thanks for the video. Me and my 16 year old daughter just used it to change out our 2002 V70 2.4T timing belt. Successfully and efficiently. Took 4 hours.
Great video - thank you very much. I did it yesterday and it took me 2 1/2 hours, following your detailed instructions. I really appreciate you listing the tools needed. It was pretty smooth - the worst part was cracking loose the over-torqued wheel nuts from the tire installers impact wrench!
I really did enjoy your well made tutorial. I have one ammendment: in Volvo Vidas workshop manual the 3 positions of the belt tensioner stand for: cold-minus 20C, warm-20C, hot-50C ambient temperature. So it is best to set it to the middle position with a cold engine instead of the cold position. otherwise the tension applied will be too much.
Why does it seem like NO ONE knows this?
Thank you for this comment! Almost went for the -20C setting...
It's great to see you guys dive into a more complicated repair, like this one. Thanks!

You might want to mention that on some cars, there is a cap covering the tensioner bolt head on the serpentine belt. I was stumped until I jacked the car overhead and saw that it's just a pressure fit cap.
Otherwise your instructions were superbly detailed! Good on you!
I do have an engine light on, I'm figuring it has to do with coolant level (I changed the water pump too so I believe the car is still burping itself.)
If not, what could be the culprit?

Easy peezy. Did one on a 2002 V70XC. Runs great. Then I was told not to do those without a camshaft locking tool. Now I have to do one on a 2006 V70 and I'm nervous because it's all in my head that I could screw it up. Thoughts on locking the cams together?
Thank you for the great video. One of the first steps to completing this job is to remove the serpentine belt. For those Volvo owners that have a 2006 Volvo or older you just need a 14mm socket wrench or long-handled 14mm wrench to 'de-tension' the serpentine belt pulley in order to remove and install the serpentine belt. Starting with the 2007 model year XC70, Volvo engineers "designed-away" the simple 14mm fitting for the serpentine belt pulley tensioner. They "designed-in" a new T-60 Torx fitting into the serpentine belt pulley tensioner. 2007 model year and newer owners will need to buy a specialized tool for about $30. This will allow for them to remove and install the serpentine belt.
Also, excellent advice to not remove the serpentine belt crankcase pulley (SBCP.) If you leave the SBCP in place it's more difficult to get the timing belt onto the crankcase timing belt gears but it's well worth the extra work. I worked from underneath the car while another mechanic worked from above and thru a push, pull and belt bending technique we were able to route the new timing belt onto the crankcase gear perfectly. Don't remove the SBCP unless you have the specialized tool that stabilizes the oscillation damper that's integrated into the SBCP.

Hello Could you tell me if the engine on this car is the same as the 1999's V70 2,5i Automatic ? As i have just bought one and need to change the timing belt and this is why i watched your video!?
Thank you for the video and the answer to my question!! cheers
thank you for showing this.
Excellent job! Thx for posting. How long did it actually take you and how long if you change the water pump too?
+Vikingdescendent If may take you a few hours to do the repair. If you have a service manual for the vehicle it may state how many hours it should take. If any of our viewers need to make this repair we carry the timing belt kit shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them www.1aauto.com?UA-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Thanks! I learned enough by watching this video to know I will have to pay a professional to do it. 😉
Dawn, before you decide to go to a garage, take a look at the FCP Euro vid on P2 timing belts. This is my first big piece of maintenance and between these two videos I found it totally doable. (I even replaced the water pump as well!)
@@rebeltango I will! Thanks!
best i have found so far
+Gerald Speis Thanks for watching. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair, we carry the auto repair part shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/1A/TimingBelts/Volvo/V70/1ATBK00041?UA-cam&CTA+Comment&Emsa-w-n93s
I take it the process is the same for a 2003 XC90 T6? Excellent vids by the way!
Do you need the timing cover to time the Cam pulleys? or do they just need to be timed to 12 O'clock?
Thanks for the video! Is there any difference in proceedure between this car and a 2006 S60 AWD turbo?
+notny411 It may be the same procedure on that vehicle
How long would it take a experienced mechanic approximately to replace timing+multibelt including rollers and waterpump on a B5244T3?
Another great video from 1A! I've learned a lot from your videos, for instance, this is one repair I wont be trying. Too bad Volvo did not use a timing chain.
excellent video, but my question is this what if the timing belt is completely warn-out, so how am i going to set the cam thanks
Does this also work on a V70 (II) turbo model 00? Or will the turbo cause trouble?
Do you have any instruction for how to timing the pulley and camshaft for intake system? If I need to replace the seal of camshaft pulley. Thank you in advance.
Use cam blocking tools on the other side of the engine
Do you know of any videos on doing this on the 2.5L Turbo engine?
Some models of the Volvo have a plastic nipple that comes from the thermostat housing,sticks out of the timing cover and goes to the coolant expansion tank....that nipple is cheap plastic and usually snaps off if you ever touch it...if you ever have to replace it ,use a metal aftermarket one and cut off the quick connect and go with a regular clamp...Volvo will not sell the nipple without a whole new thermostat housing for $200 so be aware
Thanks for the comments and for watching! +Legion
@@1AAuto You're welcome and you guys are great,excellent channel and very informative👍
Right, so what did you use to lock the cams in place? Major part of info missing from the video..
Why didn’t you replace the water pump and is the crank to cam 1:1 or 2:1?
Both Serpentine and Timing Belt did not go back on as easy as you made it look. Any additional tips would be appreciated.
What finally worked for me is regarding the timing belt was fitting it on everything except the idler and then taking the tension off and sliding it over the idler roller. At 11:21 that is what you appear to be doing, please confirm.
With the serpentine belt I do not have a Volvo specific tool but used another serpentine belt tool and still had difficulty getting enough slack to pull the belt over the power steering pulley. I finally used a ratchet but it required a second person to help me out.
Thank you for the video.
TANX FOR SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TIMING BELT. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON PUTTING IN A NEW DASH BOARD FOR S80 2002 VOLVO, I WANT TO CHANGE THE DASH BOARD. YOUR GUIDE WILL BE HELPFULL
RESPECTFULLY
GR8 GRANDMASTER TAFARI
I appreciate your time. I have tried to change it but there were no marks whatsoever on the gears. what do you advise? thx
+Arben Vuthi That does not sound right. Without those markings it is virtually impossible to do the timing. They are going to be very small, so maybe you are having a hard time seeing them? If you cannot locate those marks then you will most likely have to take the vehicle to a Volvo dealership to have this service performed.
i have a question. what is with the right gear?? when i put the belt on. do i have it to turn right or have it to losen . i mean , i can move it a little bit from right to left. in which position does the wheel have to be in? greets...
Timing Belt,Tensioner,Idler. (NO WATERPUMP)"WOW" Very Effective For MilesTo Come
+RAMÓN AQUINO We only replace the original water pump on the second timing belt on this vehicle. Original Volvo water pump will last 300000km (200000miles).
This is also Volvo recommendation.
Water pumps on these Volvos are know to go thru to 2nd belt change. My indy shop doesn't recommend doing automatically. I assume the vehicle is not high mileage.
@@stevehumphrey4438 sometimes the gasket will leak due low mileage so needed to replace then
You should consider using a laser pointer when showing critical information
Thank you for the suggestion and viewing our video! +Dan Strausbaugh
Don't you have to turn the belt a full turn clockwise before adjusting the tensioner, so the belt gets pretensioned by the exhaust camshaft pulley?
No... If you turn the belt without tensioning the belt will slip and timing will be out
I see the vvt is on intake side. My 99 XC70 is on exhaust side. Don't you have to advance the vvt full clockwise when putting belt on?
How did they magically get that belt off without taking off the crank pulley assembly?
The full instructions are written out on the website that will follow the video. Thanks for the comments!
+audio131
thank you sooo much this is THE most helpful video there is espcially the tip about the crank markings
Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out!

In other cars you need a special tool to hold the camshafts so they won't move and keep aligned with the set marks. I didn't see this part of the process in the video. Is Volvo engine different in this aspect? Do I need something to hold the camshafts in place "just in case"?
Big like to show us how to change timing belt but also big dislike to not change the water pump
So u dont need a special cam lock tool to perform this operation? Many people say u gotta lock the cams in place but as shown in your video you dont need to do that
I want my S70 back...somebody hit me and they totaled it...Great video also...I love your auto parts too.
+DOsborne Thanks for checking us out! We are sorry to hear that, that is definitely a tough way to lose a vehicle. Perhaps another S70 will be in your future given how much you liked it. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

hello 1A Auto Parts....i got to do the samething with a 2005 volvo xc90 v8 so..it will helpfull if u guys have a video about it....thanks...
Thank you! ~ I learned a lot ! ~ If oil seal replacement teaching will be even better !
Thank you for watching! Glad to be of help. Let us know how the repair turns out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
and what the VVT pulley set, hmm?
Question; I see you have a VVT and you did not spin that one up? Why is that?
Do 4 turns for the cam lobes to completely flip intake/exhaust as you line up marks!!
What I'd like to know. Does every mechanic preforming this know that it has to be done exactly like you did it??? I need that done on my car but I'm afraid to get a bad mechanic who doesn't do this the way you did it.. Who do I take my 2004 V70 to?
look up indie shops that specialize in volvos, Ronald. Depending on where you are, there should be a few. Usually they also work on saabs and sometimes VW/BMW/Mercedes. You're better off with a european car specialist than any old mechanic, regardless.
sir ,
if i align cam pulley on the marks , will the crank shaft pulley gets automatically aligned

ok so ive installed an aftermarket hks bov on my 01 v70 2.4t and after reving it up enough for the bov to release pressure the car stall whil returning to idle if i rev it up half way it tries to stall almost like the car shuts off for a second any tips or help would be appreciated
done this the other day. realised the car seemed a little down on power. so i hooked my obd2 up, and found the exhaust cam is out one tooth..... doh!! back to the garage
Loving how everyone is moaning about water pump, official Volvo workshop manual has 2 different spec changes for timing belt
60 - 80k is timing belts and both tensioners
135 - 155k is timing belt, tensioners and water pump along with a bunch of oil seals and pipes
I have one that lasts 200k miles now just replaced it now. No leaks bit of play on the axle.
On a 2004 XC70, the serpentine belt tensioner is different.
You are so right between the 2 you can do it.
I'm having a very difficult time putting the belt back on. Any tips?
Which belt serpentine or timing belt
I'm guessing this is much more involved on the turbo version?
Nah turbo is on the other side of the engine
Awesome video! Thanks!
GREAT Lads Thank YOU so much
+Michael gill Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Why you didn't change the waterpump also ?
+Track_FRS2 This video was just showing the timing belt replacement. Generally it is good practice to change the water pump as well when doing the timing belt.
