What screws are holding undertray?

[@gawainbrown]

Great video. Can you please tell the name or part number of the tool you use to counter hold the cam sprocket at 6:10

[@HaynesManuals]

The forked tool used to counterhold the sprocket is actually home-made. Aftermarket equivalents are available from good auto accessory/parts stores.

Hi
How long on average does it take to replace it?

every 5 years or 120k kilometers, whichever is earlier

How is the cover from crankshaft sprocket 60nm????

[@HaynesManuals]

It's not. For some reason we've included the lower arm ball joint torque of 60Nm. The timing belt cover bolts should be tighten to 10Nm.

@HaynesManuals thank you so much. Is there such a video for a volvo s40 1.8 year 2000? Loved this video veery good.
Not sure mine has camshaft sprocket bolts or fuel pump.
sprocket bolts but I'm confident to attempt this now for my son's car
