8 years later and I still watch your videos for help on my 322k v70 d5!
me too :)
Thank you. Its people like you who make the web such an amazing place.
What a geezer. Your videos are still helping people 5 years later. If you happen to do any work on the xc70 2.5T then please do a video.
Just an observation, I use tippex to mark the belt in relation to the pulleys and then lay the old belt on top of the new belt , count the teeth and mark the new belt , so if the pulleys do move you can just use the tippex marks on the pulley to align , otherwise a great video and has made me more confident in getting an XC60.
This video is awesome! Saved me writing off my car when the mechanic incorrectly said my auxiliary belt knocked out the timing. Thank you!
done the same job today ,quite easy,i came home and watched a few other people on here do the same job and i was amazed how many people turned tensioner clockwise to tension when there is clearly an arrow to indicate anti clock wise to tension,your video is perfect,well i hope the people have done it wrong way there belt stays on
Done my belts, tensioners and idlers today, wouldn't have attempted it myself without seing this excellent video first. Interestingly when checking the water pump there was some play in it, XC90 has done 128000 miles so was a bit shocked as the pumps have a fantastic reputation for longevity. All became apparent when I removed it, cheap pattern part, good job I had a genuine one. The belt I removed was a Gates one that was still in a serviceable condition, most likely a previous owner was advised to have the water pump changed. Properly didn't need changing at all !!
FANTASTIC videos as alwas Simon, keep up the good work 😊😊😉.
Many thanks, Paul😊😊
That's literally the best DIY video I've seen on the internet..
Thank you for sharing!
These videos are brilliant. I think the best done and most useful I've seen.
That's always good to hear.
Thank you for taking the time to say so.

Agreed indeed... do you ever do private work and fit belts for people ? I'd love to have a go but not quite confident enough and buy the time you've bought a decent impact you're nearly at the cost of having a good indy do it...
Thank you so much for this, I just bought an XC90, and to my luck it was already past the the interval. Now I was fortunate enough to do it myself!
Great video, brilliantly explained with lots of top quality tips, fantastic camera angles, a pleasure to watch!
Thanks for these great videos Sirobb. I have changed aux belt and tensioner, full cambelt kit, alternator pulley and oil pump gaskets all from following your guides. My 2004 V70 D5 has 192k and is now running like a Swiss watch. Great work and you've saved me a fortune in labour. 👍👍
Thanks for taking the time to go through all of this belt replacement . Yes another brilliant video .
Best video I've found on this. Thanks for taking the time to explain every detail. Cheers!
Just done this job on a V50. Great video helped me plan the job. Unfortunately letting Ford design a Volvo meant a torque rod,engine mount and any amount of horrible plastic had to be removed. This then leaves next to no room to replace tensioners. Interestingly I found that idler pulley had started to leak grease meaning that it would eventually run dry and seize. The car is 10 years old with only 13000 miles! So even low miles cars still need this job done. Many thanks again. Regards Charles
Its one of the best videos for the XC90 Timing Belt replacement that i have ever seen! Thumbs up!!!!
Thanks, SiRobb! That was a detailed and well-delivered tutorial. Good Job!!
Hello Sirobb,
Job done right ! I've done several timing belt changes on many different cars and I can tell you it's the easiest ever ! So well engineered ... Citroen-Peugeot and Renault engineers should definitely follow training at volvo's..! Water pump was easy too, lot of space and no engine mount on the way or to remove !! Car has 200kmiles and water pump looks like new, outside and inside with a very slight end play on the axle. Yours will last don't worry. I should have paid more attention on the tensioner sequence in your video which would have saved me 15 min struggling with the timing belt installation... "Just push the tensioner indicator arm and the belt slipped in like in butter !" Thanks and good luck to all of the others who'll do the job by themselves ! ;-)
Well done and thanks for the comment.
The tensioner trick caught me out first time too but now you know, hopefully you'll remember it again in 10 years. ☺️
As usual, excellent tutorial from SiRobb
got the same car ;) last year gave my car to garage to do the timing belt. and now feel slightly stupid cus i had a great opportunity to do this by my self and save some money. how ever thanks for videos going to watch all of them!
Thanks for taking time to explain how to adjust the tensioner. Great Vid!
Thank you so much. I have done a few timing belt changes before on other cars but it's about time to do it on the volvo and wanted to make sure i don't mess anything up. Really useful video.
Thanks for posting ! I'm doing mine in ten minutes and I've just watched your excellent video to get more confidence doing the job.... On my side I'm replacing the water pump, engine's just past 200k miles.
Excellent and I hope it all goes well.
A little part of me wishes I'd done the water pump regardless but nearly a year on and all is still good but I don't blame you.
Only replace with another genuine Volvo pump though.
There's endless stories of relatively new aftermarket failures and virtually no incidences of genuine pump failure.
Thanks for taking the time to comment on your big day. ☺️

Great video buddy, easy to follow step by step guide. Love the Volvo design of that side engine mount, fixed to subframe at bottom of engine, no need to remove it. Saves time and effort. Thanks, vinny. :-)
You've made that job look not particularly unpleasant and I reckon its a job I can take on when I get my D5. Thank you!
Really excellent video. Well explained very detailed and with good camera angels, zooms and visibility. Truly made by an expert who know what he is doing! Thanks!!
Many thanks for your support Martin.
Brilliant video, narrated in layman language. Thanks for taking the time to record and upload it.
Please accept my belated thank you. 👍
detailed video to the fullest☝️ I will do mine soon 😁 thx SiRobb!
Awesome video, thanks for going to the effort of filming it and sharing your knowledge
Hi Fred. Yes I did! It was a father's day job with one of my sons before a bbq and a few beers! It was relatively easy with Simon's video to guide. A few details on my XC90 were:
1. Timing mark on the camshaft is tiny!!
2. Timing mark on the crank was more obvious than Simon's V70
3. I needed a puller to get the crank pulley off - each time, not just the first time
4. We had to hold the Allen key in place on the tensioner while torquing the bolt otherwise it moved.
Overall it was a fairly straightforward job. It's my first time doing a timing belt but I don't imagine there are many cars where that job is easier. Access is good and the quality of the Volvo components excellent. Mine had done 11 years and 92k miles but the belt and pulleys were certainly not on their last knockings!
Great video! This made me confident I can manage a change of the timingbelt for my D5 =) Greetings from Sweden!
Tjena Andreas, hur gick det eller har du inte gjort jobbet?
Hello SiRobb.
thank you sooooo much for this very helpful video, everything is perfect and my Volvo runs perfect with the new timing belt.
All the best for you from Germany...
Erich
Top quality Si brilliant stuff!
great video SiRobb iv learnt a lot from all your videos mate thanks
I gues I have a few tools to buy as I always struggle with breaker bars trying to do these! I only have 2 xT5's and one D5 to do cam belts on before winter! Excellent video as usual
You Have a unique talent for teaching Sir. Outstanding explanation, Thank you!
Excellent. Best instruction video I have seen very clear pictures and clear instruction.
Thanks you for uploading this very detailed video ! Do you know the value of thickness of the washer behind the idler pulley ? Mine fell in the gravel and is impossible to find it ...
Great work and illustration
Hi SirRob, after setting the camshaft and crankshaft timing before removing the old belt, how to lock the pulleys to keep the timing in place whilst fiddling everything? I have done duratec engine which we will lock the crankshaft with pin and a flat bar on the camshaft.
How about this D5?
Cheers.
Thanks for this incredibly helpful video. It gave me the confidence to do my first timing belt change.
A few notes from my experience on doing this on a 2016 XC60:
1. There's not a lot of room to get your hands in to unbolt the tensioner and idler pulley, so you'll need a combination of small ratchets and spanners at hand. But it's all doable.
2. Setting the idley pulley to 10 o'clock means it's at it's lowest tension, which allows you to get the new belt on. You don't need to pull the tensioner tab thing (like you do when removing), as you should be able to get the belt on if it's set to 10 o'clock.
3. Put the belt over the top camshaft pulley last. It will be a tight fit, but it will go. Try your best to feed it on to the teeth, then knock it over with a mallet. It would be incredibly awkward to try and get it over the tensioner last due to the minimal clearance you've got to work with.
4. When setting the tensioner after the new belt is on, I found using a H7 screwdriver bit on some locking pliers gave me the best access. Again, it's tight in there, but it can be done if you're clever with your tools.
5. Timing cover bolt is 8mm. Swan neck spanner helps.
6. Idler pulley bolt is 10mm. Took me a while to figure out the size as it's deep in there.
7. Tensioner bolt is 12mm.
8. When tightening the crankshaft bolt to 300nm, I had to angle the crank locking tool to 9 o'clock to find some chassis to push against just behind the central wheel arch cover, as there were pipes everywhere else.
Thanks again for the great tutorial.
thanks for all that very important info m8
Dankeschön, wirklich gut erklärt. Grüße aus Deutschland.
Well done. Great video!
good vedeo mate we can see you are a really profissional mechanic you not use glovers you are from old school on this vedeo we can see how change the timing belt all most all cars. cheers from norway
You don't seem to use the T60 socket in this video even though you highlighted it at the start of the video?
Oh it's to loosen the drive belt tensioner which is in the other video?
Exactly! SiRobb skipped that part in this video to save time and avoid the DIY video to become too long. The T60 goes into the aux belt tensioner and you shall try to use a 3/8 T60 because the 1/2" ratchet will often give trouble when you want to release the pressure once the new aux belt is back on, you will often have some issues with getting the 1/2 ratchet out since it might get stuck between the engine and the wall. You move the ratchet forward to release the pressure on the belt and you must lock it up with a nail or a metal pin. Easier to spot the hole where the pin goes into from below, easier with a second person pressing the ratchet to the front above in the engine bay and the other person tries to fit the locking pin on the tensioner into the hole on the engine from below. When you release the pressure, you can do it on your own.
Great video Simon......My D5 has done 180k and I like looking after things myself where I can. It's due a new belt soon and I've never done this job. I'm going to have a go with the help of your video! Thanks
just wondering did you manage to put on a new belt okay ?
Hi SiRobb great video, my 07 xc90 D5 is due for timing belt change. You didn't mention the torque requirements for the 10mm bolts on crank pulley. Do you know what it is? Thanks again.
Really great video! Your video just helped me fixing my volvo penta boat engine!
Great video, good job !
Great videos, thank you!
Very interesting to view this video! My V70 D5 needs a new timing belt, so I'm preparing the job. Mine is the newer D5 model from 2014, but at first sight it looks the same except for some details. Could you please tell me what manual you use for the torque settings in this video? Is it a book from Haynes? Many thanks!
Fantastic video! Thank you for uploading this. Did you needed to remove spark plugs in order for you to turn the crank shaft for timing mark alignment? Also do you disconnect battery? (in dash radio loses codes...)
Thank you.
No spark plug removal because a D5 is diesel and no battery disconnection because the radio doesn't have a code.
This is the specific procedure for the D5 so if you're changing the timing belt on anything else, you can't use all the info in this video.
I'm glad you enjoyed it though.
Thank you for your light-speed reply! oh yeah that's right. you gotta diesel eng. Does it still turn with compression? (assuming D5 uses glow plug). I have B5254T engine and your video was super helpful!
+K Shinohara No problem.
Yes the engine turned fine without any glow plug or injector removal but you could obviously feel some resistance from the compression which is normal.
Sir, you are my hero
Great information, thank you.
Good to see your work !
You gave me the confidence to complete the replacement of my timing belt, confidence is a funny thing you can lose it very quickly, whilst test driving the vehicle, I found it run smoother and was more responsive, is this possible ? or just my imagination, Many thanks Geoff
Great tutorial, thank you, great help.
Thanks so much. I've the same diesel d5244t volvo xc70 ...the video was very useful for me..
Great video! Blessings from Sweden!!
Hello SiRobb,
I have a C30 D5 (Euro 4), is the procedure exactly the same? I imagine that the kit will be different, but I guess the procedure might be the same...
Some good tips here, helped me out loads thanks man.
No problem and well done for doing it yourself. 👍
I'm a competent home spanner monkey but I own mostly classic Renault Turbo stuff. The tips about the crank alignment, and belt tensioner were specific to a car I'm unfamiliar with :-). I did the water pump while I was there....amazed at the condition of the 187k pump and the 90k cambelt!
+David Sibley Yes Volvo spec their belts and pulleys very highly on this engine so the condition of your old parts doesn't surprise me.
I'd always stick with genuine parts in this area.
Excellent video. Many thanks
Will a 450nm Impact wrench remove this bolt since it's at 300nm?
Carl John Franz Torque required to undo is greater than the torque for tightening so you *may* need a more powerful wrench.
My 650Nm struggles sometimes.
Thanks so much, yeah I was worried this was the case. I'm a total newbie with cars and about to attempt to do this job. Sourcing tools is the hardest part so far, where is the best place to rent impact wrench / torque wrench?
Amazing video! Thanks.
Hi there sirobb my Volvo S60 d5 2007 has just started loseing coolant. heads fine no milky oil cap but wet patch is we’re water pump is . How much would a water pump and timming belt cost to fix thanks great video
my 2004 has about 160k miles original timing components. on your recommendation i got a new belt and tensioner/idler bearing. The water pump doesnt feel smooth?? it's not a metallic roughness its like a rubbery drag and it makes a sound again almost like a rubber seal is binding. its not leaking and works fine, also no detectable wobble or free play. is it normal?
Thank you for such a great and informative video. Could you please tell me what is the torque Nm for small 4 bolts on the crank pulley?
Thank you👍😁
Great video, youre the best!
Very helpful video. I am about to do the same within few months (S60, D5, MY2007). Only question I have with all this. If I want to also change waterpump do I have to lift / lower the engine for that? Or it should slide out without moving engine. If anybody knows that it would be nice to know.
Hi. Recently my s60 d5 163 2002 aux belt broke (Well before due for replacement). Initially I thought I had a puncture so kept driving to safe place. At standstill the engine cut out and I realised the cam belt had broke.
It was all very hot under the cover but it appeared that the belt was split in half width wise and so possibly held position. Once cooled I inspected again and at this point the belt fully broke.
I cant help thinking I might have been lucky and avoided damage.
Is there a way I can test?? Ie, if valves are bent would the cam shaft be stuck solid??? At the moment it turns by hand a little in both directions.
I dont really want to spend £200 odd on a new kit if deffo totally broken.
Any advice would be massively appreciated.
Craig
I love the video
Great video, why did you laugh when you said “flange screws”🤔🤭
Thank you so much for filming this. Did a Cambelt before on my old trusty V70 from 1999 but that has a 2.5 Petrol, which is a bit different. Got a D5 last week, will do the cambelt soon. Thanks again!
Great vid but do you not need to lock the crank and cam on these to ensure they do not move when the old belt is removed or the new belt is fitted? Or did I miss it?!
You didn't miss it because I didn't do it.
Unless you're VERY ham fisted, crank and cam locking isn't required for a belt and pulley change.
If you're renewing the front crank and cam seals though and need to remove those pulleys, yes you would be best to use locking tools.
Hi Si Ribb,do you nov where i can get the Haynes rep.book for my 2004 xc70 D5 awd?
Any info on the torque for the four crank pulley bolts?
Hello! Can I take also a 400 Nm Impact Wrench for the Crank Pully?
Hello m8 .ive got a v70 2.0d rdisgn 2010 the crank pully is differnt to yours theres No 4 little bolts just the nut in centre so carnt use one those tools to lock it up while torxing it up .what do you surjest i can do az a substitute to lock it up ????
Need to do this on my LT35 SDI van (same engine) so many thanks for posting...
Thanks for the comment.
It's not the same engine but it should give you some general pointers which are applicable to most timing belt changes.
Hi sirrob I have a S40 1.6d on a 06 plate..how much would you say. it would cost for a garage to charge. for both belts and pulls. and so on. was going to do it my self but changed my mind. thought it was to much for me to do. as a D.I.Y job.
Super Video mate....
best engine ever. mine have 290kkm and still works nice. time to change belt second time since been new :) thx for video!
Mine have 585kkm and still work like a watch👌
GREETINGS SIROBB, IF U DONT A USER MANUAL FOR UR VOLVO S80.
WHEN ORDERING PARTS WHATS THE BEST WAY TO GET THE PARTS NUMBER?
RESPECT & THANKS
When tensioning the belt what about if the outside temp is below 20c where do you position the finger? Do you need to recheck the tension marker in the summer? Thanks
Hi Si Ribb,one more thing.Where can i buy this spesial Tools to Volvo, i live om Norway
Hi, thanks a lot for this very detailed video! Im sure it helps a lot!
Just one question: Your book with the detailed NM for Volvo - where did you buy it? Can you give me a hint?
Greetings!
Mister M The book is a Haynes manual. Available on ebay, amazon and many other places.
Thanks a lot!
Great video thanks!
..... and thank you for the positive comment. 👍
Well done mate. Good effort and video
Nice video. I take your point about the longevity of the water pump but at 180,000 miles I would probably have changed it anyway!
There are enough 300000 mile water pumps to give me confidence to leave it alone.
Also, Volvo don't supply a timing kit that includes the pump.
If failure was common, they would recommend change and sell you another pump, like they do with the various pulleys.
I've heard of water pump failures on many other manufacturers' engines but NEVER on a D5 so I'm assuming your experience is different.
Good to know. I've never had a water pump fail but then I've always changed them with the belt if required.
I suppose if you had any doubt about the service history and were unsure of how well the cooling system had been maintained it might change your thinking, but if they're that good then if it ain't broke leave it alone.
+Badgertronix Of course yes, there are many service factors which may influence your decision which is why I say to weigh it up for yourself once you're in there.
I only use Volvo Coolant and if your D5 is well maintained, with no prior issues in that area, the pump should easily last to the third belt change.
If you do change it, use another genuine pump otherwise you'll be fitting something that's worse quality than the original.
Hi Simon, just a quick question to pick your brains if you don't mind please. Same engine as yours - I'm in the middle of changing the timing and aux belts. I've removed the aux tensioner pulley assembly and am fitting the new one. I can get it bolted in no problem and it seems to be seated correctly but when placing it before putting in the bolts it doesn't seem to be fitting snugly into any sort of crevice. Does it be loose right up until the two 10mm bolts are all the way?
There are two different types of tensioner unit for the D5244T depending on chassis number and they're not interchangeable so be certain of compatibility first.
See my auxiliary belt video here @ 12:35 ruclips.net/video/DLyiYnUkQuE/видео.html
Hi +SiRobb
You don't really show you putting the belt on in this video. I just did mine on my P3 V70 this weekend and couldn't believe how difficult it was to get the belt over all the pulleys and tensioner. It was a lot tighter than I imagined! Was this the same for you?
(In the end I put it over the pulley, tensioner and water pump then squeezed it over the idler!)
I don't show the final belt installation because it was impossible to film alone but as it is, the routing is straightforward filming isn't really necessary.
The belt is supposed to be a very close fit and you finish on the tensioner pulley.
The reason you finish on the tensioner is because it has an adjusting mechanism which allows the belt to be installed easily.
Explained in the video at 20m00sec.
Cheers Rob! I got it on none the less and it's been working for a couple of hundred miles now luckily! Fingers crossed all is therfore okay. Next time I'll try finish on the tensioner!
Thanks very much for your exzellent and helpful video.
Best wishes from Germany,
Erich
Excellent Video, but what wrench did you use to get the 300nm crank pulley bolt off ?
I used the heavy duty impact wrench shown at the start.
There are other videos showing it too.
Top man. Thanks for the detailed explanation
Hy,what is the Nm torque in reverse of the big impact gun?thanks
Brilliant demonstrate on doing this I definitely feel confident on doing soon including water pump thanks mate 👌
SiRobb, thank u for this fantastic tutorial video! Everything is explained very clearly. I have a 2006 S60 2.5T and I've managed to put everything together per direction. I started up the engine and noticed that it idles rough. This leads me to believe that during the belt installation, I inadvertently moved either the Exhaust and/or Intake camshaft pulley at the top. If this indeed happened, what is the best course of action? This would mean that I have to remove the belt and set the crankshaft pulley and the exhaust and intake camshaft pulley up top MANUALLY? Any advice would be great! Thanks again!
The first thing you need to do is turn the engine manually to see if all crank and cam marks line up.
If they are out of line, there's your problem.
When you do a belt change, you must turn the engine manually to check these marks line up BEFORE starting the engine.👍
Thanks SiRobb for response! I did NOT turn the engine manually before I started the engine, that was a careless error on my part! If I redo the belt again, obviously, I would have to manually turn each of the two top camshaft pulleys and also the crankshaft pulley to realigned. Is this the only course of action, you think? Thank you!
+Ky Cam Unfortunately, I'm not going to say what you should do now as I don't have much experience with your engine and your car isn't in front of me so that is your choice.
If you are unsure, don't start the engine and seek professional advice.
Good luck. 👍
Thank you for your advice!
question...the rock solid construction of the D5 water pump appreciated. is it the same pump in the L5 turbo?
Aaron Butt What is an L5 turbo?
Hi Si
Where did you get your Teng torque wrench? My current one only goes up to 240NM and looking for a bigger one without breaking the bank.
Very comprehensive video. I'm going to use this to tackle this job on the families xc70.
Just one question, where can I get the tool you used in the end to lock the 4 pulley-bolts?
I got mine from a main dealer FRF Swansea. It takes a few working days to arrive though as it's a special order from Sweden so allow for that. Cost was £30 but you can obviously resell it to recoup your money.
The part number escapes me but it's clearly shown in my D5 Cambelt buying guide video.
+sirobb Thank you!
