Thanks for the video , wasn’t sure about what was going on with that crank pulley with the 4 bolts , obviously going into this without locking pins or anything special so was reassuring to see someone else do it 1st so I knew it wasn’t 1 of them keyless pulleys or something. Thanks again for the time you put into making this video 👍🏻 🏴🇬🇧🇮🇱🏴🇬🇧
Nice video! I’ve recently changed my cam belt on my D5 and left the pulley wheel on, and it was a nightmare! Lol it can be done as I managed but 100% to anyone who’s doing it in the future, just remove the pulley wheel!
My wife has just bought a 2004 xc90 d5 and I was dreading the day the cambelt needs doing. Just watched your video and you made it look so straight forward and easy I'm actually looking forward to doing it. Big thanks for your help. For now I'll reseal the bath. Keep up the good work
Thanks LOL, I’d pick bath resealing any day of the week over cam belt replacement given the choice! Good luck with both jobs, I allowed a full day to do the cam belt and took my time with both jobs.
Great tutorial & well explained, I guess I’m not bothering with the “ pulley in place” method it looks as you say a lot more trouble if not nigh impossible So thank you.
I've deleted my original comment! You have to remove the crank pulley to do this job, There is just not quite enough clearence as the D5 has a thicker timing belt than the 2.4 petrols so it cannot be wiggled out like i first thought, I should know as i have just done a D5 timing belt!
Yes I much prefer that arrangement for engine timing belts it saves the hassle of crank pulley removal just to see the timing marks.The older ohc engines come to mind as been much easier and quicker to replace.
It appears I have unintentionally deviated from the instructed anti clockwise tensioning method. I’ve had a good thorough look at my old tensioner and multiple internet pictures of other new tensioners and I can’t see any rotational arrows on any of them. The tensioner setup is of an eccentric cam that can be rotated 360 degrees either way with no noticeable ill effects to the tensioner spring so I’m quite happy to leave the tensioner on my car as is. I suspect it’s advised to tension anti clockwise to allow for an easier more progressive tension adjustment due to the lift of the eccentric cam. Thanks for bringing this to my attention it’s appreciated.
@@adamhamer4995 best of luck allow a day to do the job, it took me most of a day to change the belts.Those engine rotations to correctly seat the new timing belt are tough going but essential as the slack in tensioner showed in the video . Be thorough before restarting on the key.

I thought there was a timing mark actually on the pulley..

you went clockwise with the tensioner ,it has an arrow on it supposed to go anti clockwise

Perfect video I done it successfully
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent guide. I need to do the job myself and worried about the crank bolt being on too tight. Which impact gun did you use?
Thanks, I used a Vonhaus 450nm max torque mains impact gun.
@@TheRepairer awesome. Just bought one along with the crank tool and a big enough torque wrench. Fingers crossed all goes to plan 🤞

why no change water pump?
It was still good
The water pump was clearly showing signs of leaking, it's a crap job to do but essential!!! UK Pete
It boggles my mind when its stripped down like this and the pump is left out🤦♂️
