Thanks for the video. Me and my 16 year old daughter just used it to change out our 2002 V70 2.4T timing belt. Successfully and efficiently. Took 4 hours.

Great video - thank you very much. I did it yesterday and it took me 2 1/2 hours, following your detailed instructions. I really appreciate you listing the tools needed. It was pretty smooth - the worst part was cracking loose the over-torqued wheel nuts from the tire installers impact wrench!

SO clean, so perfectly explained, so amazingly filmed, so immaculately done. I just go t a 2002 Volvo V70 and Sir, congratulations!!

This is a great demonstration of the basic process for the timing belt. Generally, you should take the extra steps of replacing the oil pump gasket and o-ring, the front crank seal, and the water pump. It's a false economy to skip these items. Also, if you choose to replace the cam seals, know that the adjustable cam pulley has an o-ring in it that is a common failure. The pulley is not inexpensive, but if the o-ring leaks oil will end up on the timing belt. No bueno.

It's great to see you guys dive into a more complicated repair, like this one. Thanks!

I really did enjoy your well made tutorial. I have one ammendment: in Volvo Vidas workshop manual the 3 positions of the belt tensioner stand for: cold-minus 20C, warm-20C, hot-50C ambient temperature. So it is best to set it to the middle position with a cold engine instead of the cold position. otherwise the tension applied will be too much.

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 good amount of grease was coming out of those bearings. My near-245K S60 is definitely happier.

This video especially helped with the tensioner pulley segment. Thanks!

You guys are amazing. I am going to do a timing belt/water pump job today...have watched a few of your Volvo timing belt jobs and am now confident that it should go fairly smoothly...
Thanks guys!

What a superb video! I'm in the UK and just bought a 98 V70 2.5 20v, I shall be doing this when the weather gets warmer, nowhere near as bad as I imagined :D Thank you for such an informative video - makes owning one of these lovely cars even easier!

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to produce this - tackled the timing belt on my brother's 2.4 at the weekend and all went smoothly thanks to this very helpful vid. Cheers.!

[joseangelgalan]

Great video. I spent two days trying to put off the big nut. With your video I change the belt in few hours, thank you very much.

Great tech help on this video.  Gave me confidence to give it a try and saved me big $$$. Part kit came with belt, idler and tensioner, and water pump...@ $200.  Cost me a Saturday afternoon, a little patience required to re-install belt, and was done.  Best shop quote I got was $750 one was over $900!  Thank you and my wallet thanks you!

[patrickjansen]

Great video, used it yesterday and it works perfect. My volvo xc 70 is now ready to go over 500k. waterpunp also replaced. thanks1AAuto

[nestordupo]

The best tutorial video I've ever watch now I can change the timing belt of my s60 2000 model. Thank you for sharing.

[ScottHz]

Glad to see he had as much trouble positioning the timing belt cover as I was having!

[MartinKrijgsmanMusic]

Thank you. You saved me 800 euro's; about a 1000 dollars worth of labor. Excellent video. 

[raydice]

Have seen a lot of UTube auo repairs- this is by far one of the best (including the other A1Auto ones, lol)

[josecerv]

Thank you for your patience to show us the steps to change the timing belt. appreciated, one question, if timing belt breaks out, is it possible to get damaged cylinder head valves?

[cityboyfarmer]

This video was great, I followed and got the job done with no hitches. I went ahead and changed out the water pump while I had it apart.
