Part A. Drive belt, timing belt, water pump on my Volvo 850 T-5

Part A: That was a close shave.
I need to replace the drive belt on my Volvo 850 T-5 as the old one is toast. While I'm at it I will replace the timing belt and water pump.
On further inspection I needed to replace the cam shaft oil sea as well.
This video is for entertainment only.
I'm a self taught mechanic, just trying to keep the family car on the road and to save a few memmories on UA-cam.
If in doubt seek advice from a qualified mechanic

Time for some new hose clamps as well!

[@850BRICK]

The old girl needs quite a few new things, money permitting. Top of the list is a new or recon turbocharger, as the current one has an oil leak which seems to be getting worse. Hopefully that will get done in the new year🤞I may even do the hose clamps 👍

And here is a good example why all car owners should pop the hood and spend some time looking around.
These are complex machines , and our lives depend on them. Our lives, our GF´s, our Kids´ and our Dogs´...
So look around, clean the engine bay, shine a flashlight in there and immediately note all things loose and whack, all wetness, drips...
