A properly tuned ignition system is one of the most important factors of any engine. It will keep your engine running smoothly, economically and will deliver the most power. The increased heat under the hood may lead to premature degradation of the ignition wires. These wires are made by the original equipment supplier to Volvo so you are assured of the best quality in replacement wires.

1999+ models (excluding first generation S/V40) have distributor-less ignitions and do NOT use plug wires.

Timing Belts and Kits

Timing belt maintenance has never been so important since the 5 cylinder ‘white’ engine was introduced into the US in 1993. Unlike the ‘red’ engine of days gone past, these new engines are interference so a broken timing belt means valve and piston damage, an expensive alternative to belt replacement. Intervals for replacement vary from 50K to 105K depending on model year. Some kits include the belt with a DVD instructional that includes complete removal and installation procedure. With our available cam locking tool, perfect alignment can be ensured and no more potential for the camshaft to jump while the belt is off. This job used to intimidate even the most skilled individuals, but with ipd helping you out, timing belt maintenance is back in your control. Timing belt kits complete with tensioner, tensioner pulley, idler pulley and belt.
