Hi everyone
this is my first post on the VOC forum
My wifes 2003 S80 D5 is at 99 000 miles and i need to do the cam belt for her. I dont know the exact engine code or how to read it unfortunately so maybe someone could tell me how i tell.
I have done belts on all our other cars no problem including my Audi A2 diesel which needed special tools so i am not scared of the job and have all the tools and a nice workshop.
Do we have a "how to" resource on the site here with step by step pics and "what not to do" tips?
Or does anyone have a link to a technical manual?
Thanks in advance
David

Well it's fairly straightforward except you have to take the lower crankshaft pulley off . This means 4 new bolts and one new securing nut . The Nut is 300 nm torque to restrain this you need a special tool which bolts to the pulley .. The four bolts are torqued to a low figure then angle torqued , It's vital on a diesel that the pulley is tightened properly ...
