New cambelt
 

Hello, I have my v40 D4 with 90 thousand. miles. I read some recommendation to change the cambelt after that so I did.
When picking up the car, I asked about the warranty on the new cambelt and I was surprised. The new cambelt has a warranty of 2 years or 40k miles.
Shouldn't that be similar to the previous timing? 90k
I don't know what brand of cambelt I got.

I will be grateful for any opinions about that

really no one has changed the timing belt on their car yet?

Given that you say you don’t know the make of cambelt you had fitted I am assuming you did not have the work done at a Volvo main dealer?

The warranty on the cambelt is almost irrelevant as a pattern part fitted at a non franchised garage will likely have only a limited warranty meaning consequential losses are not covered. So you might get £30 back to cover the cost of a new belt if you can prove a manufacturing defect, you would unlikely get the £3000 + you would need for an engine rebuild or replacement. You should check - if you went to a major chain like Halfords or Kwik Fit they may have a stronger warranty.

I think at a Volvo dealer there’s a 12 month warranty on their service and repair parts and you get 12 months recovery.
