Sorry, when I said last April I meant April 2021, not April 2022. Even so, the belt is only 15 months old and has done 28,000 miles, so is still a bit premature to be failing.
Thanks for the heads-up I’ll certainly look into the Volvo lifetime warranty. I’ve written to Volvo Customer Care UK, so will see if they come back with anything.

If it were me I would scrap it and replace it. If you are an excellent home mechanic then by al means rebuild it, however I doubt you will be able to get a garage at less than £60 an hour and the cost of rebuilding will soon be huge! |

Any recommended sources for a reconditioned unit?

You want to find one out of a write off that you can hear running, recon doesn't always mean anything more than tugged out of another and pressure washed,
Learn by my mistake in the past, recon box for a Pug, sets off to get it and once fitted it's smashing 2nd gear syncro's, rings up, "no problem mate I'll call you when I've got another one in" the call never came and I disposed of the car a few weeks later, what he actually gave me was a cleaned BX box and I knew when I picked it up he'd done me by just looking at the yard, Personally I'd listen to XC90 and draw a line under it.

When the cambelt gives up or jumps, it usually forces the hydraulic adjusters out of their housings - i.e. fractures the head casting. Some companies offer a welding service but the clearance for the adjusters is critical, so I would be skeptical of that approach.
I've bought and sold a number of Volvos as spares repairs following cambelt failure and I've done it most ways. I would say the easiest and cheapest option is a second hand engine. The cheapest way of buying a cylinder head is a second hand engine (heads on their own sell for circa £700), then you have the cost of gasket sets etc. and I would say it takes a lot longer to replace the head than remove/refit the whole engine. In each case you would want to do all fluids and belts. Their used to be sellers on e-bay selling second hand D5 engines including fitting starting at circa £2k.

For a remanufacturer however paying the Labour rates they do it will cost so Much as to not be viable. Accordingly remanufactured now a days really does so often mean degreased, new timing belt and off you go. 10,000 miles down the line you have leaking camshaft oil seals, etc etc etc all of which should have been replaced. Getting a 40,000 mile engine with history is a go, as is getting a genuine rebuilt one, but many of these £1,800 reconditioned units really are just pressure washed…. In my opinion of course. |

It hasn’t actually broken - it’s just frayed and some of the bits of cord got in the timing belt. I agree it needs clarification of what has caused it, otherwise it will just happen again.
