D2 1.6D D4162T Correct Timing Belt Interval is 87.5K miles
1 Attachment(s)
I have it confirmed from Volvo that the timing belt change interval is 87,500 miles & not 150,000 miles as some may believe it to be! There is an advisory that Volvo brought the interval forward towards the end of April 2014 here: http://workshopsupportguide.volvocar..._41en37_ir.pdf
(Also attached as PDF). Quote: "Replacement interval for timing belt kit The replacement interval for timing belt kit on D4162T (84) has been changed to 140 000 km. This affects the following variants: C30, S40 (04-), V40 (13-), V40 Cross Country, V50, S60 (11-), V60, S80 (07-) and V70 (08-) from model year 2011 and forward, which have adapted service programs." Just thought I should make you aware; apparently Volvo haven't issued a recall, but rather are including the timing belt replacement when your vehicle goes in for it's next service! This of course would only take place if you are having the vehicle serviced at Volvo dealerships! So be warned & be aware ;-) |
Great, the news for us 1.6D owners simply gets better and better so proving that the Ford/Peugeot/Citroen supplied angines are weak compared to decently designed and built ones.
The cost of maintaining Volvo's "eco" models is so high it completely negates the point of buying them. That combined with the MPG falling so far short (about 25 to be precise) makes it less than a sound option for most. Thanks for the heads up though. |
Thanks for this info. The service cost indicator on Volvo UK website now includes the timing belt replacement at 87,500 miles and quotes £405 for this service.

The D4162T is the D2 which is now on 87500 miles or 10 years .. I wouldnt worry too much these engines have been on volvos for 10 years now and no particular problems with cam belt life .. We need to know WHY volvo have gone to 87500 miles for the D4162T ( D2) cam belt |

Where's the best place to buy the drivebelt from if you want to change it yourself? I've seen as cheap as £13 for Contitech branded belts but thought the belt would be a lot more expensive......
Just went through the Haynes manual and didn't realise it was so simple to replace. |

I'd make your generic part savings on less critical areas of the car. |
