    Completed timing belt and water pump replacement on 2003 Volvo S60 AWD Turbo with the B5254T2 2.5L Engine. Excellent Video Jay - Easy to follow instructions which ultimately led to a succesful replacement. Couple of points for those considering to undertake this repair.
    - Serpentine tensioner: My vehicle required a T60 torx. There is just enough room for a 3/4 socket wrench and the T60 torx socket to release the tension. (no special tools required)
    - There are 2 different Timing belt tensioners depending on engine number. Check engine block and if last 4 digits 8688 and below then the belt tensioner in video is utilized. If last 4 digits 8689 or higher, there is a different belt tensioner style
    - Torque Specs 2001 - 2005 S60 2.3/2.4/2/5L Turbo
    - Timing belt tensioner bolt : 15 Ft. lbs
    - 4 Crankshaft pully bolts: 18ft lbs +30 degrees
    - Crankshaft nut : 133ft. lbs
    Book time for labour (not including waterpump) 2.10 hrs
    Add another 30-45min for water pump removal and installation.
    Keys to sucess - Patience, correct tools, attention to detail.
    Question for Jay:
    Will turning a camshaft without the belt on cause damage to the valves?
    Is it critical to disconnect the battery ground cable prior to starting replacement?

      Those engines have no tolerance, you don't want to move the crankshaft without belt as you may hit a valve with a piston. I don't see an issue wit leaving the battery operational but it is an ultimate safety precaution and safety is never too much. Cheers. Thanks for the torque specs.

      @@mule666 Lot of places are nuts for the parts prices too. I had one place quote me almost $500 for the timing belt and water pump kit and then another $36 for the water pump bolts. I did the job myself for about $300 for the full timing belt kit and serpentine belt kit from FCP. Only thing I paid a shop to do was the cam seals that were leaking from the previous owner neglecting the PCV system. Got the PCV kit from FCP as well and did that job too. That job was a bit more difficult as the banjo bolt is a real pain and I had to drop the oil pan as the drain back into it was clogged all the way to the bottom of the pan. Still knocked it out in a day on my weekend and saved a about $1500.

    2004 XC90 with 2.5T with 108k: followed the same process, just didnt remove the cross bar or crankshaft pulley, instead just removed little plastic cover under the crank pulley to remove/install timing belt. Before removing, marked the old timing belt and pulleys with nailpolish, then market the new belt according to the old belt with nailpolish to match the timing.

    He had an easier time tightening because he was using an impact gun, so the tightening torque is high, but the inertia is low. Obviously the right way to do it is with the tool and to torque it properly with a wrench, but Jason tells me he hasn't actually done it that way since his initial training. Hope that helps!

  • @MM-vv8mt

    I had a broken intake valve spring on my 2002 V70XC that necessitated a tear down to remove the head to replace the spring and bent valve. I watched various videos, including the many excellent FCPEuro vids like this one to build my confidence. I had the cam cover off, the cam shafts off using the cam shaft locking tool, and the head off, and used that opportunity to replace the deteriorated EVAP emission hoses, the PCV hoses and clogged oil trap, the old starter motor, etc. Once it was all back together, it was time to time the crank and cams and to replace the timing belt, tensioner, idler, and H2O pump. The most important part of getting the timing right is to use the Volvo cam locking tool and the marks on the cam pulleys to align them with the index marks on the timing belt cover, and the marks on the crank shaft cog with the index mark on the block. Start with the belt off, and turn the crank cog and line up the two marks with the index mark on the block, and use the cam locking tool to get your cam shafts lined up, and then align the marks on the intake hub and the VVT exhaust hub with the index notches on the timing belt top cover. It is really a super easy job and difficult to mess up. Once you spin the crank shaft two or three times and the timing marks on the cam pulleys continue to line up and there is no valve on piston contact, you know you've done it right. It was great to run the engine for 10 minutes without throwing any error codes or finding any oil or coolant leaks! Hooray for the Shade Tree Do It Yourself Mechanics!

  • @fcpeuro
    @fcpeuro  11 років тому +5

    The marks just allow you a point of reference for lining everything up, they're not anything special on their own. But they can still budge without really noticing, & considering how dangerous it is to your motor even if the timing is only slightly off it's best to have the marks lined up no matter what you are doing. Just for safety's sake.

  • @fcpeuro
    @fcpeuro  11 років тому +8

    You're correct, the Volvo cam locking tool would keep the cams from moving completely.

    @fcpeuro  11 років тому +2

    Basically there are two different engine serial numbers which will indicate which direction to take. For engine serial numbers up to 3188688 you will turn the eccentric Counter-clockwise. For engine serial numbers 3188689 and up you'll turn the eccentric Clockwise. Hope that helps.

      @dazritchie318 5 років тому

      So would that cause my fault?

  • @ProtoFalcon07
    @ProtoFalcon07 7 років тому +16

    Finally 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 generous amount of grease was coming out of those bearings.
    Admittedly got the blue Gates sports belt kit from FCP (even though I could've just acquired the regular kit), and an Aisin water pump. Engine feels a bit smoother, and warm idle is nearly silent. My near-245K S60 is definitely happier.
    This video helped immensely! Thanks!

    • @standeman32

    • @neo_falcon
      @neo_falcon 3 роки тому +1

      @@standeman32 There was very slight back-forth rotating play in the intake cam-enough to barely misalign the timing marks, but I corrected it by eye and hand while placing the new belt over the cams. The exhaust cam with the VVT hub had no play, however. This was part of the reason for this taking me over 7 hours, but that was mostly because it was my first time, as well as FEAR, admittedly.
      For JUST the cams, realigning the timing marks by turning them counterclockwise should be fine, as long as they're not ridiculously off alignment.
      Anyways, over 280K miles with mine now, and she's still running strong! 🦾

  • @fcpeuro
    @fcpeuro  12 років тому +3

    Well it was lined up perfectly when we took the original belt off, then, after the first attempt, we had to adjust the intake/exhaust pulleys independently because they were touchy and apparently very prone to move. Our master Volvo tech Jason, featured in the video, would be happy to help you if you have more questions. You can reach him at jason.vangorden@fcpgroton(dot)com. Hope that helps.

    Jay. Thanks for the awesome video. I just got this done today on an 02 S60 with parts from you folks. I did the water pump too. Once the belt is off along with the idler and tensioner, access is very easy. The worst part of the whole thing is that darn serpentine belt tensioner!
    The only discrepancy I found is that my crankshaft pully marking were a bit different than you show. I had marks on two teeth that lined up either side of the mark on the block. Checked it 3 times to be sure

  • @Doc11223344
    @Doc11223344 11 років тому +3

    Awesome Video! I changed the one in an 03 XC70 in about 4 hours and it was relatively painless.
    The only issues were:
    - Finding how to release the tension on the serpentine. Its a torx beside the tensioner pulley and is hard to see.
    - The crank shaft timing marks are tough to see with the vibration dampner and timing belt in place. Once you get it apart, its easy to see the V notches in two of the teeth on the crank that line up with a mark in the casing.
    Thanks FCP!

    This is the 2001-mid2004 tensioner up to 3188688 ENGINE serial number (it's on the cover sticker, not the same as the VIN number). On the mid2004-2007 (V70) and 2009 (S60) after 3188689, the tensioner is different and not interchangeable and easier to adjust. The first model of tensioners are difficult to adjust correctly. ALWAYS make sure the hex hole is at 11 o'clock before installing the tensioner on the block. Before adjusting the tensioner, turn the engine by hand a full turn clockwise, to pretension the belt between the idler and the intake sprocket. Tensioner bolt torque is very important to set right 15 ft/lb (20nm). If the belt is running offset, or wobbling, or if the tensioner needle is shacking much, then there is something wrong with the tensioner: wrong tension, cheap part, or center bolt too tight. Jason didn't lock the cam sprockets, so he moved the cams wile working on the belt. Double check the timing marks before installing the new belt. We don't replace the water pump at the first timing belt, but if you buy a car with a new belt, check it doesn't come with a cheap aftermarket water pump: it will fail in 1-3 years. Use only Continental/Contitech or genuine kits for the belt, and only Aisin water pump when replacing it at 200K miles. Also note that releasing the tensioner on the serpentine belt may require a special tool: early tensioners had a 14mm bolt, but later ones required a big torx bit and the ratchet will not fit in there.
    Oh, I see my comment got a bit of attention, so let's throw a few more things while there. I did not remove that transverse torque mount bar, I think it works. When you lift the coolant reservoir, be sure to disconnect first the level sensor plug, so you don't break the sensor. If you are patient, you can also pass the belt without removing the crank pulley, just the small cover in front of it ua-cam.com/video/2tljxoQFDe0/v-deo.html Go with Contitech kits, and Aisin water pump at the second belt. The timing notch on the block at 6:20 cannot be seen with the belt on, but can be felt by hand, it's really tiny images.matthewsvolvosite.com/s60-timing-belt-marks.jpg See my channel, I have a few repair videos with these cars - subscribe for new vids ;)

    Thanks a lot for the comprehensive service, the quality of the parts it's outstanding and the price very good, same as all the other terms (shipping, warranty, etc). I did my timing belt yesterday on my 2005 XC70 2.5T dual VVT and your how to video was very useful. I used other sources as your example is non-turbo and has only one VVT hub. I contacted the store about some guidance on the usage of the camshaft locking tool (I bought elsewhere) but unfortunately you were out of the office and the fella at the phone was unsure, said he wanted to run it by you. Sadly I couldn't wait as I needed the car driveable by the end of the day. End result, it runs like a charm. The tensioners (timing and serpentine) as well as the idler I pulled out of the car were INA and stamped volvo, very happy about using the same OE part at a fraction of the price. I'm in Canada, and even with the exchange rate and driving to the border (I'm less than 1hr away from Ogdensburg NY) you are far ahead of the game compared to buying parts here.

    This vid inspired me to take on the timing belt issue in a 2005. The timing marks were quite off even before I took the old belt off ( both cams were variable ) and there were no marks at all on the crankshaft pulley. I made my own marks on all three points with a Sharpie pen and put the new belt on exactly how I found the old one. Also I did not remove the crankshaft drive belt pulley and slipped the new timing belt over it with some finger action. This requires removing the two bolts that hold on some kind of plastic belt guard in back of the pulley

One bit of advice is the paper gasket for water pump kit is inadequate and I'd use a high quality gasket material. Thanks again.

    On the T6 you'll have to remove a vibration damper on the crank pulley and a possible coolant hose in the timing cover area. The vehicle may or may not have the hose depending on the year. Clearance is also an issue on the T6. Disconnecting the engine mount and raising on the passenger side may make things easier. Hope that helps.

    You might have to loosen the tensioner a little if it's seized, but functionally you can lever the tensioner to relieve the tension to the belt. But if you're swapping out your belt consider replacing the tensioner and rollers at the same time. It's often not the belt that fails but the other components. Hope that helps!

      @Peppermint1 3 роки тому +10

      A garage with a camshaft sprocket locking tool and impact to remove the crank pulley is good in less than 1h to replace the belt, idler and tensioner. Let's say 1.5h if they really take it slowly with a few breaks. If you get genuine belt kits, it's $180 at Fcpeuro, but the Contitech kit is $80 and will do the same thing. So even with a genuine kit, this is the kind of repair that shouldn't cost more than $300 at any garage. Make sure you mark their position vs engine head with liquid paper. That's without the water pump because we don't replace it with the first belt, the original Aisin pumps were good for 200,000 miles if the proper coolant was used. However, if purchasing a used Volvo, always inspect which timing belt components have been installed, including the water pump. The pump is hard to see from above, but you should still be able to see with a good flash light if at the bottom of it it's stamped Aisin. Some kits came with Hepu or GMB pumps. Other pump brands can fail all of a sudden and ruin the engine. By the way, if you release the tension on the tensioner and carefully pull on the belt near the pump (without removing the belt), you should be able to free the pump gear enough to spin it free by hand and see how smooth it spins: if it spins very 'freely/easily' it's rather worn, if it feels it's slightly grabbing, it's worn, if it 'squeaks' then it needs replaced asap. At 9:00 in the video, go ahead and SPIN the pump by hand. A pump in good condition will spin very smoothly and with resistance like it has heavy sticky grease in the bearing - same way all new pulleys spin. The pump is difficult to replace because you can't put the ratchet on some bolts and you can't use the 3" extension either. May try a longer 10mm socket. You notice there is also a small hole at the top of the pump casing: if this hole is sipping or looks like it has limestone traces, it means the pump started to leak at the bearing and would need replaced. At the junkyard I've never seen a pump leaking like this, however I've seen a few that were very worn at the bearing ("grabbing"), and didn't start leaking yet. So don't wait for it to see it leaking. I should upload on my channel a video showing all this. Funnily enough, Jay didn't lock the cam sprockets: that's not a good idea. It is very easy to accidentally touch and rotate the sprockets while working around the belt. Plus, some VVT hubs are spring loaded and will move the sprocket once the belt is off. The video also didn't show that before setting the tensioner, you need to to make sure the belt has tension between the idler and the intake cam sprocket: so need to rotate the engine by hand a full turn clockwise (never go counterclockwise) until the timing marks are aligned again, then adjust the tensioner and tighten the bolt: important, tensioner bolt has 15ft-lbs (20N-m) torque. Before installing back the belt covers, put serpentine belt in place and fire up the engine and look at the tensioner, the indicator should stay at the right position without much shaking (ideally no shaking at all)

      @@alexanderstevens145 Everybody will tell you to replace it. You can check the belt in 5 seconds without removing anything. If you plan to keep the car for several years, I would replace the belt with a Continental kit and only inspect the water pump is turning smoothly without 'grabbing'. Order the correct tensioner for your year. If you don't think keeping the car more than 2 years may just want to keep an eye on the belt. Belt wear will also depend if you live in a very hot region and if the car was driven hard. My original belt at 160 000 kms and 10 years had a single small crack on it. The original Volvo belt can take a lot of cracks before failing, while the cheap aftermarket ones may crack after only 1-2 years. Check my channel, I have many repair Volvo videos

    Your post was extremely helpful. I know it was for an S60 but it looked close enough to an S80 that I went for it. The main difference I found (other than taking off the turbo piping, which I expected), was in the markings on the crankshaft. I had to remove the crankshaft pulley and there I found a raised ridge on the outside rim of the pulley. The only corresponding mark on the block is a U shaped thing. The alignment appeared more toward the center left of the "U".

    Essentially the information is the same but there is a few more steps on the T6 including disconnecting the front Engine mount and raising the engine and removing the control units (That's what we do any how). Depending on the year there may also be a coolant hose that enters right through the timing cover for the thermostat housing. This is plastic and breaks very easily. As far as the gears and belt the procedure is about the same. Hope that helps!

Line up the mark to be position in the center of the etched teeth. It is possible to slide the timing belt on to crank shaft with out removing the pulley possible but I always advise against it if this your first time carrying out the repair as you can't verify the cogs from the belt are inserted properly into the gear teeth.
