Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I'm doing mine next week. Looks a lot easier than a VW Touran, and no "special locking" tool required. Good job my son!
I got quoted €500 to replace the timing belt, some Radial seals and the valvecover gasket at my regular mechanics shop. Decided "fuck that" and im gonna replace em at home myself for less than €200. Saving this video for that date, Tänud mees!
Between stuck bolts, stuck nuts and the belt being a pain to get back on. It was a successful change. It took a long time because the nut just would nut move. Required penetrating fluid in the end to lubricate it up. Appreciate the video, helped me a lot. Now I'd like some new finger tips after getting the belt back on.
Thanks for a very clear and full tutorial. It's a job I'm intending to carry out on the 2007 XC90 D5 I have here along with the aux belts and associated tensioning and idler pulleys.
Good video, how did you torque the crank nut up, did you use the locking tool? And when you finish tensioning the timing belt has the pionter on the tensioner got to be bang on in the middle, thanks
Normally I do use the tool that goes under the 4 bolts to hold it but I didn't have it here so I used just rattlegun (have to be decent one). It's supposed to be in the middle when the engine is 20 deg C, 1mm one way or the other won't matter but I like to get it in the middle (might take couple goes).
the D5 refers to the engine? I have to do the same job in an XC70 D5 2013... it is exactly the same as yours?? i've never done a timing belt on a volvo before but as I can see in the video, it's extremely easy, you didn't even need to take the engine mount off... i'm guessing the hardest part would bee to take off and tighten the crank pulley if you don't have an impact wrench
XC70 is generally the same but you have engine mount there which you have to remove so you need to support the engine from the bottom. Also your accessory belts have different tentioner. If you don't have impact wrench you need a locking tool for the crank pulley.
Thanks! You will need the tool if you are going to remove any of the cam gears. If not then you just make sure you align crank and cam markings, rotate the crank by hand for two revolutions and check the markings again.
Great video it possible to change only the water pump? My timing belt and tensioner are brand new, so I do I need to follow the whole procedure? Please let me know thanks
How many km did you have on the old belt? Did you notice any codes or manufacturer markings on the belt? I have the same engine but don't know when the timing belt was changed but I can still read INA on the belt.
Not sure about km but often the belt will start developing small cracks while the text is still there. Sometimes you can see cracking with only 80-100 000km.
For P2 D5 anything over 2-2.5 hours just for timing belt and water pump would raise questions for me. It takes me about 1.5h when I take it really really slow.

@@HeapsofProjects I am also wondering why they (Volvo service) need almost 8 hours to replace the timing belt. But, I see that they changed: - Coolant - Micro belt (set) - A-C Belt - Timing belt (set) - Water pump (set) Total price: ~600$

Excellent 10/10, thanks for taking the time 👍

Well done!
Brilliant video, one of very few on a 5244T4 engine.
Excellent video, couldn't be clearer, thank you for taking the time.
Thanks!
I have just booked my XC90 in to have this done. Your video helped me decide the job doesn't need to be done a Volvo main dealer. 🙂
Thank you from France! I have to do mine and i feel more confortable after whatching this.
You can do it!

Sehr gutes Video. Herzlichen Dank für deine Arbeit! Gruß aus Berlin
Cheers!
❤❤ thanks for the video men
Brilliant video. Very informative.
Cheers for that!
Cracking video I've just got a xc90 and it's job I want to do love how it as such clear timing marks and how u shown exactly were they need to be
Good luck with that, it's not hard at all!
Nice video. I have to do one of these in the morning.
How did you go?
Awesome! Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!
Do you know what the timing belt intervals are on these XC90 D5 engines?
Great video and thanks for the time and effort 👍🏻
I think it's 120 000km or 140 000km in Europe (or 10 years), depending of the country. I usually like to do it around 100 000km.
@@HeapsofProjects I’m located in Victoria, Australia. My wife’s car is about to hit 300,000 KLM’s so I think I’ll be doing this next service.
Should i put in neutral the transmission befor doing this job to move the cam ?
Thank you 👍🏻
If it is a manual transmission then yes, for automatic it doesn't matter.

Hello, I have a 2004 XC90 T5, would I need a locking tool? Great video by the way!

@@HeapsofProjectsThank you for your fast reply !

Yes you can change just the water pump but you still have to pull everything else off first.
Hi. Any idea why the centre console (arm rest) would need to be removed (slid backwards) for the cam belt change please? Thanks
No, never heard of that before
Thought so. Thank you
Greetings, will you be continuing with the 242GT project?
Yes, it is on my list, hopefully I will get there in the next 2 months.
@@HeapsofProjects May I suggest a re-spray in polar-white to match the Group A touring cars, cheers.
Gud Job
Thanks!
Do you not lock cam or crank? Just leave it on the Marks?
If you don't remove the cam pulley you can just go off the marks.
No locking of any shafts needed.?
If you don't remove cam pulley you don't need to lock anything but of course you can if you want

@@HeapsofProjects The engine I have d5244t15 should have 180k km interval
Hi, which oil to use is best for these engines?
Super 💪💪💪👍👍👍
Maybe this looks easy but it's not. Authorized service takes almost 7.5 hours to change the timing belt with all other stuff.
For P2 D5 anything over 2-2.5 hours just for timing belt and water pump would raise questions for me. It takes me about 1.5h when I take it really really slow.

@ That is included in the timing belt and water pump replacement anyway.
