How Many Kilometers Should a Volvo Timing Belt Be Replaced?

[DiEllie]

Volvo timing belts should be replaced between 90,000 to 100,000 kilometers, but the exact replacement interval depends on the actual usage of the vehicle. The functions of the timing belt are: 1. To drive the engine's valve train; 2. To ensure the engine's intake and exhaust valves open and close at the correct times; 3. To guarantee normal air intake and exhaust for the engine cylinders. The steps to replace the timing belt are: 1. Lift the vehicle and remove the right front wheel fender liner; 2. Remove the alternator belt and alternator belt tensioner; 3. Loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt; 4. Open the engine hood and remove the coolant reservoir; 5. Remove the engine mounting bracket and the protective cover on the timing belt; 6. Unscrew the alternator mounting bolt and remove the alternator; 7. Remove the engine block mounting bracket and take off the crankshaft pulley; 8. Rotate the crankshaft to the top dead center position of the cylinder and mark it; 9. Remove the timing belt and timing tensioner to complete the replacement.
