Older pre 2007 thick wide aux belt no problems . New models : 2008 std tensioner but thinner narrower Aux belt for the new Mk 3 cars which are pendulum mounted . 2010 a mod introduced to fit a hydraulic tensioner at the factory . 2012 - 2014 ish still a problem so final Dealer mod to drill the block to refit the original tensioner and a new more compliant belt introduced . 2014 the above being done in the factory now for the remaining engines until the 5 cylinder phased out . Its always worth asking the dealer if all the remedial work has been carried out .. or any outstanding ...

Thanks for that info. So the ones with issues were 2010-2014, which were done under recall. After 2014, it was done from the factory.

Thanks for clarifying Clan.
I understand Clan's timeline as follows: P3 cars affected from introduction in 2007, until they spec'd the wider belt in 2014? Last edited by ferg55; May 12th, 2021 at 20:55. Reason: typo |

2008 cars have a narrower belt (just a standard tensioner). 2010 - Mod fitted so a hydraulic tensioner was used (factory). 2012-2014 - Mod fitted again to reuse the old style tensioner, with a new belt design (recall). 2014 onwards - Mods done from factory until the 5 cylinder engines were phased out.

By affected, I meant that whilst pre-2010 didn't need a new tensioner, sounds like they did need an upgraded belt.

Its also worth nothing that the P2 models had one long aux belt. My S80 P3 has an aux belt & a separate a/c belt.

better quality belt rather than wider , more able to withstand the massive jerk as the engine fired .
