Hey Guys, here in this post there is more info.. Check this post: www.freel2.com/forum/topic33363.html My car is the Blue Volvo 3.2 loaded on the toe truck. Replacing the Belt, Tensioner Pulley Bearing and the other Pulley was a piece of cake! My advice to all the people thats is going to do this job by themself, is to review that post several times so they can understand perfectly what they need to remove in order to have access to the tensioner pulley and to pass the belt between the water pump and power steering.
Glenn McKee I would say wait until it breaks. I couldn’t find any info online about this procedure, so that makes me think it is not common and mine may have been a fluke.
Besides the noise the pulley was making, did the car throw and warning lights when this happened? I had the same issue and my vehicle threw a reduced engine performance light as well as the pulley noise when it happened.
Can you do a video on how to install the lower radiator hose on the land rover LR2. How much would it cost to get that installed? I already removed the skid plate
Ripley Talented sure, but in the mean time, I did make a video about flushing the coolant that would show you how to drain it here. ruclips.net/video/qzjPXuJdn70/видео.html. As for cost to have it done, it would be an hour or two of labor at a shop.
I'm about to change the belt on my 2010 LR2. You confirmed my fears. Lol
How many miles when pulley went bad?

How the hell did you reach in to disconnect the power cables from the ac compressor??
I have one but my Volvo S80 3.2 (same engine, FoMoCo) is driving fine. Should I wait until it goes or replace it early?

Did u ever make a video showing the reassembly of the land rover lr2 serpentine belt?
Awesome my friend! Thanks!
It's a Volvo engine, so check with a local Volvo dealer for the parts, and probably cheaper.
Ford motor company FoMoCo made in spain
What was the symptom that indicated the idler pulley needed replaced?

Anthony Lane, no I did not get any lights.
Your awesome thank you so much
I was wondering, if I replaced the pull only do I still have to remove the air conditioning unit?
sigfrern1970 touareg1970 I suppose if you weren’t going to replace the belt you could, but I wouldn’t go to all the work and not replace the belt.
