If they get it done at a dealer, and follow manufacturers guidance and it all goes wrong then the people that gave that guidance are liable. That being the case, where are all the people that have had it go wrong and claimed against Volvo over this?
Thar being the case, what evidence do you have that you know better than the manufacturer? Why waste customers money and add to landfill over something that the people that made the car says is not necessary?

Is this the same manufacturer that says the transmission oil doesn't need changed?
Really? Volvo are liable. If after a timing belt change the pump goes 9 years later then volvo would stand over it.
Your having a laugh.
Doesn't make sense to change every bearing but leave 1.
The waterpumps are recycled as they worth money they are not filling up land fills and its not wasting customers money. If you want to save money stay away from the main stealer. And stop paying stupid prices for genuine parts coz it comes in volvo box. An skf pump and timing belt kit comes to ,£100. And your looking to save £30 on a waterpump but your willing to pay stupid prices for the same brands coz it says volvo on it. Gates, skf, INA etc make the parts for the dealers, then the dealers double the price.
