We recommend timing belt, tensioner bearing and idler bearing replacement every 70,000 miles. Timing belt failure on these engines usually results in catastrophic engine damage. This is because they are non-clearance engines and belt failure means the valves will hit the tops of pistons.
Contrary to popular belief, the most common failed components are the tensioner and idler bearings. It is actually more rare for the belt on these models. A failed bearing will shred a timing belt in a hurry. It is also highly recommend to replace the water pump when replacing timing belt components. The timing belt drives the water pump and water pumps are considered a common failure component so we've included the Aisin brand OES water pump.
Kit contains all OES components:

*Please note some 2006+ P1 chassis S40, V50, C30 & C70 models were outfitted from Volvo with a different style timing belt tensioner. Volvo superceded this part to a different tensioner. If you have a 2006 or later S40, V50, C30 or C70 you will also need a new tensioner bolt, part number 987498 (see recommended products).
