FYI, the mark on the end of the crank pully to the mark on the engine body is not TDC as it is purely a mark for aligning the pistons so that they do not collide with the valves when the camshafts are turned by hand when there is no belt in place.

Another timing belt question Volvo Forums Volvo Enthusiasts Forum
Volvo Timing Belt Replacement S60 Timing Serpentine Tensioner Rollers...
A simple question but the answer is not simple. The vid is purportedly good and you'd be much better joining the forum or an other Volvo forum if you aren't in uk, if you run into problems.

SOURCE: Replace timing belt on Volvo S60

There is no room for error...... Zero clearance. If off one tooth it can and will bend valves. if you are one that just feels the need to get alittle dirty or just can't pay for the service, then get out your Haynes out and turn to .....Tune up, and look at replacing timming belt. Get a cam gear tool that locks them into place so as that they will not move when u have them lined up. make sure they are lined up with marks as said in book. then make sure crank as well as all marks are lined up acordingly. make sure belt marks are lined up with everything. i would reccomend using a volvo belt though cause it will have all the marks on it.However other company's make good quality belts also at a fraction of the price. So it is really up to you.
Good thing when doing timming belt is to also change out your timming belt tensioner. YES do this it will save you a engine in the long run. it is a moving part that will go bad, it will freeze up and snap timming belt. rip out teeth in thebelt and bend valves. So as a gen rule...When you change timming belt, Change belt tensioner at same time since you cant just change tensioner without changing or getting timming belt off. Remember to use your HAYNES. It is your friend and will save you money in the long run. Good luck... Hope this helps you.

if you do not have the tools or the knowledge it is better to leave it to a qualified mechanic because if it is not done properly they have to fix it but if you do it you could create a lot of heartache for your hip pocket

SOURCE: setting the marks at the proper degree where do they need to be set at

your best bet is to acquire aldata on the internet and download it ,lots of information and maps that you would not imagine it only cost about 30.00 /yr to have it and is renewable for 14.95 /yr,you could never go wrong

How do i do valve timing from scretch after timing belt broke on a volvo t5,2.3l s60

If the belt broke while the motor was running, the motor is likely badly damaged since, I believe, the five cylinder Volvo engines are "interference engines". The crankshaft and pistons keep moving while the car is in gear and still moving, but the valves stop dead the instant the timing belt breaks. The pistons would have hit some of the valves, cracking or badly damaging the cylinder head and some pistons. If the motor is not damaged internally, though, just line up the timing marks on the cam shaft sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket and put on a new belt. Go online for a diagram of how to align the timing marks.

Where is the shift solenoid located on a 2002 Volvo S60 T6?

I will assume you meant S80 (the S60 is a 5 cyl). The side case has to come off to replace the solenoids. It's not an easy task, so replace all 4 solenoids at the same time.

When should you change cam belt on volvo s60

Well, most belt companies and aftermarket folks recommend 60,000 to 80,000 miles on a timing belt. You have an interference engine which means if the belt breaks while the engine is running it could damage the valves and pistons. So I would recommend doing it soon.

2002 volvo S60. AC blower fan turns on by itself with the key in off position

This is supposed to happen. After so much time has elapsed using the AC, the blower comes on and cleans out the condensation on the inside of the system. Freaked me out, too, but I had read this in the manual so I figured out what it was. This is NOT a problem.

My timing belt broke and I have purchased a new one; however, I need to know how to set the correct timing for a 2001 Volvo S60 witha 2.4L engine?

you need a service manual, if you don't have one i fear that you maybe in over your head-either timing belts or chians there are always timing marks which indicate cylinder id and tdc, basically top dead center of cylinder #1 matched to camshaft position of intake and exhaust valves inclosed position (cam lobes off valves and valve springs relaxed to full height-not compressed as that indicates valves are still open or in overlap-you must know you four strokes and consider which stroke will be required) anyways if your belt broke you may have larger problems than lacking a service manual as most engines today are interferance which means that it the valve timing is incorrect you could be tagging valves against the pistons, and if your belt broke you may have already done so-check your valves as they maybe bent and in this case you require a head job as well.

I'm loocking for advisore in order to set the engine time

What car is it? If you timing belt is not broken, just ton turn the crankshaft because could damage the head valves. So remove the head as is, without turning the cams or the crankshaft. The when you have the head out, set the block on TDC, this is the first piston (close to the timing belt) on the top and the head on position por the TDC and is here that we need to know what car is your and probably we need the Chiltons book!. to set the time again.
