    Our general rule of thumb is if you're uncomfortable, have a professional do it. There is a lot of damage that can be done if this replacement is not done properly. But there's always value in understanding what your mechanic is doing, so we hope the video helped you some.

      @@mule666 Lot of places are nuts for the parts prices too. I had one place quote me almost $500 for the timing belt and water pump kit and then another $36 for the water pump bolts. I did the job myself for about $300 for the full timing belt kit and serpentine belt kit from FCP. Only thing I paid a shop to do was the cam seals that were leaking from the previous owner neglecting the PCV system. Got the PCV kit from FCP as well and did that job too. That job was a bit more difficult as the banjo bolt is a real pain and I had to drop the oil pan as the drain back into it was clogged all the way to the bottom of the pan. Still knocked it out in a day on my weekend and saved a about $1500.

    Completed timing belt and water pump replacement on 2003 Volvo S60 AWD Turbo with the B5254T2 2.5L Engine. Excellent Video Jay - Easy to follow instructions which ultimately led to a succesful replacement. Couple of points for those considering to undertake this repair.
    - Serpentine tensioner: My vehicle required a T60 torx. There is just enough room for a 3/4 socket wrench and the T60 torx socket to release the tension. (no special tools required)
    - There are 2 different Timing belt tensioners depending on engine number. Check engine block and if last 4 digits 8688 and below then the belt tensioner in video is utilized. If last 4 digits 8689 or higher, there is a different belt tensioner style
    - Torque Specs 2001 - 2005 S60 2.3/2.4/2/5L Turbo
    - Timing belt tensioner bolt : 15 Ft. lbs
    - 4 Crankshaft pully bolts: 18ft lbs +30 degrees
    - Crankshaft nut : 133ft. lbs
    Book time for labour (not including waterpump) 2.10 hrs
    Add another 30-45min for water pump removal and installation.
    Keys to sucess - Patience, correct tools, attention to detail.
    Question for Jay:
    Will turning a camshaft without the belt on cause damage to the valves?
    Is it critical to disconnect the battery ground cable prior to starting replacement?

      @bennyl.5899 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Those engines have no tolerance, you don't want to move the crankshaft without belt as you may hit a valve with a piston. I don't see an issue wit leaving the battery operational but it is an ultimate safety precaution and safety is never too much. Cheers. Thanks for the torque specs.

    This is the 2001-mid2004 tensioner up to 3188688 ENGINE serial number (it's on the cover sticker, not the same as the VIN number). On the mid2004-2007 (V70) and 2009 (S60) after 3188689, the tensioner is different and not interchangeable and easier to adjust. The first model of tensioners are difficult to adjust correctly. ALWAYS make sure the hex hole is at 11 o'clock before installing the tensioner on the block. Before adjusting the tensioner, turn the engine by hand a full turn clockwise, to pretension the belt between the idler and the intake sprocket. Tensioner bolt torque is very important to set right 15 ft/lb (20nm). If the belt is running offset, or wobbling, or if the tensioner needle is shacking much, then there is something wrong with the tensioner: wrong tension, cheap part, or center bolt too tight. Jason didn't lock the cam sprockets, so he moved the cams wile working on the belt. Double check the timing marks before installing the new belt. We don't replace the water pump at the first timing belt, but if you buy a car with a new belt, check it doesn't come with a cheap aftermarket water pump: it will fail in 1-3 years. Use only Continental/Contitech or genuine kits for the belt, and only Aisin water pump when replacing it at 200K miles. Also note that releasing the tensioner on the serpentine belt may require a special tool: early tensioners had a 14mm bolt, but later ones required a big torx bit and the ratchet will not fit in there.
    Oh, I see my comment got a bit of attention, so let's throw a few more things while there. I did not remove that transverse torque mount bar, I think it works. When you lift the coolant reservoir, be sure to disconnect first the level sensor plug, so you don't break the sensor. If you are patient, you can also pass the belt without removing the crank pulley, just the small cover in front of it th-cam.com/video/2tljxoQFDe0/w-d-xo.html Go with Contitech kits, and Aisin water pump at the second belt. The timing notch on the block at 6:20 cannot be seen with the belt on, but can be felt by hand, it's really tiny images.matthewsvolvosite.com/s60-timing-belt-marks.jpg See my channel, I have a few repair videos with these cars - subscribe for new vids ;)

    Jay. Thanks for the awesome video. I just got this done today on an 02 S60 with parts from you folks. I did the water pump too. Once the belt is off along with the idler and tensioner, access is very easy. The worst part of the whole thing is that darn serpentine belt tensioner!
    The only discrepancy I found is that my crankshaft pully marking were a bit different than you show. I had marks on two teeth that lined up either side of the mark on the block. Checked it 3 times to be sure

  • @fcpeuro
    @fcpeuro  12 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    He had an easier time tightening because he was using an impact gun, so the tightening torque is high, but the inertia is low. Obviously the right way to do it is with the tool and to torque it properly with a wrench, but Jason tells me he hasn't actually done it that way since his initial training. Hope that helps!

    2004 XC90 with 2.5T with 108k: followed the same process, just didnt remove the cross bar or crankshaft pulley, instead just removed little plastic cover under the crank pulley to remove/install timing belt. Before removing, marked the old timing belt and pulleys with nailpolish, then market the new belt according to the old belt with nailpolish to match the timing. Thank you guys for the video, very helpful!

    Awesome Video! I changed the one in an 03 XC70 in about 4 hours and it was relatively painless.
    The only issues were:
    - Finding how to release the tension on the serpentine. Its a torx beside the tensioner pulley and is hard to see.
    - The crank shaft timing marks are tough to see with the vibration dampner and timing belt in place. Once you get it apart, its easy to see the V notches in two of the teeth on the crank that line up with a mark in the casing.
    Thanks FCP!

    Thanks a lot for the comprehensive service, the quality of the parts it's outstanding and the price very good, same as all the other terms (shipping, warranty, etc). I did my timing belt yesterday on my 2005 XC70 2.5T dual VVT and your how to video was very useful. I used other sources as your example is non-turbo and has only one VVT hub. I contacted the store about some guidance on the usage of the camshaft locking tool (I bought elsewhere) but unfortunately you were out of the office and the fella at the phone was unsure, said he wanted to run it by you. Sadly I couldn't wait as I needed the car driveable by the end of the day. End result, it runs like a charm. The tensioners (timing and serpentine) as well as the idler I pulled out of the car were INA and stamped volvo, very happy about using the same OE part at a fraction of the price. I'm in Canada, and even with the exchange rate and driving to the border (I'm less than 1hr away from Ogdensburg NY) you are far ahead of the game compared to buying parts here.

    I had a broken intake valve spring on my 2002 V70XC that necessitated a tear down to remove the head to replace the spring and bent valve. I watched various videos, including the many excellent FCPEuro vids like this one to build my confidence. I had the cam cover off, the cam shafts off using the cam shaft locking tool, and the head off, and used that opportunity to replace the deteriorated EVAP emission hoses, the PCV hoses and clogged oil trap, the old starter motor, etc. Once it was all back together, it was time to time the crank and cams and to replace the timing belt, tensioner, idler, and H2O pump. The most important part of getting the timing right is to use the Volvo cam locking tool and the marks on the cam pulleys to align them with the index marks on the timing belt cover, and the marks on the crank shaft cog with the index mark on the block. Start with the belt off, and turn the crank cog and line up the two marks with the index mark on the block, and use the cam locking tool to get your cam shafts lined up, and then align the marks on the intake hub and the VVT exhaust hub with the index notches on the timing belt top cover. It is really a super easy job and difficult to mess up. Once you spin the crank shaft two or three times and the timing marks on the cam pulleys continue to line up and there is no valve on piston contact, you know you've done it right. It was great to run the engine for 10 minutes without throwing any error codes or finding any oil or coolant leaks! Hooray for the Shade Tree Do It Yourself Mechanics!

    Finally got this, and the water pump done on my 2001 non-turbo, which was almost 40K overdue---first timing belt job ever, and took me over 7 hours. The old belt looked good, but the pulleys were definitely going; a generous amount of grease was coming out of those bearings.
    Admittedly got the blue Gates sports belt kit from FCP (even though I could've just acquired the regular kit), and an Aisin water pump. Engine feels a bit smoother, and warm idle is nearly silent. My near-245K S60 is definitely happier.
    This video helped immensely! Thanks!

    • @standeman32

      do you know how to adjust the camshaft pulleys to aline back up correctly? Aren't you supposed to only turn them clockwise?

    • @neo_falcon
      @neo_falcon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@standeman32 There was very slight back-forth rotating play in the intake cam-enough to barely misalign the timing marks, but I corrected it by eye and hand while placing the new belt over the cams. The exhaust cam with the VVT hub had no play, however. This was part of the reason for this taking me over 7 hours, but that was mostly because it was my first time, as well as FEAR, admittedly.
      For JUST the cams, realigning the timing marks by turning them counterclockwise should be fine, as long as they're not ridiculously off alignment.
      Anyways, over 280K miles with mine now, and she's still running strong! 🦾

    Your post was extremely helpful. I know it was for an S60 but it looked close enough to an S80 that I went for it. The main difference I found (other than taking off the turbo piping, which I expected), was in the markings on the crankshaft. I had to remove the crankshaft pulley and there I found a raised ridge on the outside rim of the pulley. The only corresponding mark on the block is a U shaped thing. The alignment appeared more toward the center left of the "U".

    If the cams move it will be ever so slightly. In this case you can just move them back by hand. Hope that helps.

  • @fcpeuro
    @fcpeuro  11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The marks just allow you a point of reference for lining everything up, they're not anything special on their own. But they can still budge without really noticing, & considering how dangerous it is to your motor even if the timing is only slightly off it's best to have the marks lined up no matter what you are doing. Just for safety's sake.

    Very comfortable, clear, and technical, good video.. always change the water pump, especially when you see the belt excessive wear, and the tensioner bearing making noise. You know the seal on that pump is soon to go. Also when Tbelt installed, rotate the crank a few turns.it is good practice.

    This vid inspired me to take on the timing belt issue in a 2005. The timing marks were quite off even before I took the old belt off ( both cams were variable ) and there were no marks at all on the crankshaft pulley. I made my own marks on all three points with a Sharpie pen and put the new belt on exactly how I found the old one. Also I did not remove the crankshaft drive belt pulley and slipped the new timing belt over it with some finger action. This requires removing the two bolts that hold on some kind of plastic belt guard in back of the pulley

    On the T6 you'll have to remove a vibration damper on the crank pulley and a possible coolant hose in the timing cover area. The vehicle may or may not have the hose depending on the year. Clearance is also an issue on the T6. Disconnecting the engine mount and raising on the passenger side may make things easier. Hope that helps.

    You might have to loosen the tensioner a little if it's seized, but functionally you can lever the tensioner to relieve the tension to the belt. But if you're swapping out your belt consider replacing the tensioner and rollers at the same time. It's often not the belt that fails but the other components. Hope that helps!
