| Timing Belts and Kits 
Timing belt maintenance has never been so important. The ‘white’ engine introduced into the US in 1993 in front wheel and all-wheel drive models is a interference engine. Unlike the ‘red’ engine of days gone past, a broken timing belt on a white engine will result in catastrophic internal damage. Intervals for replacement vary from 50K to 105K depending on model year but we really recommend replacement every 70,000 miles. ipd offers complete timing belt kits with belt, tensioner and idler pulleys. Please see the engine section of ipdusa.com for current pricing and applications. |
| Serpentine Accessory Belts and Tools  
You may not know it, but the charging system, power steering and air conditioning in your Volvo are all driven by a single serpentine accessory belt. These belts have proven to be pretty reliable, but it is not something you’d find at Joe’s discount auto parts. We recommend keeping a spare in the trunk along with the required installation tool, available below. Volvo recommends that the belt be replaced every 8 years or 80,000 miles. That’s a bit of a stretch on our opinion and we recommend having it inspected annually and replaced at least every 5 years or 60K miles.

Cam Locking Tool Misalignment of the cam shafts during a timing belt replacement in the 5 and 6 cylinder engines can be a costly mistake. Our cam locking tool holds the camshafts in place during timing belt replacement to prevent unexpected movement and ensure proper cam shaft alignment. Made from 3/8 inch anodized aluminum plate with 3/16 inch dowel pins spaced for placement in between the intake and exhaust cam gears.
