All I can say is that the belt in this picture is 1000x better and will probably last longer than any non Volvo OEM pieces of garbage you’d buy off the jungle sales app. Heck those might not even get you back home.

Pros: better than aftermarket parts
Cons: aftermarket parts are garbage
Vehicle: Volvo

AISIN Timing belt

Re the timing belt, if that has not been done I would get to that immediately. At 350K km it is a ticking time bomb. Use, specify, or supply the Aisin TKH-002 timing belt kit. It is OEM quality

Pros: OEM quality
Vehicle: Honda Pilot
Mileage: 350000 km
Part number: TKH002

AISIN Timing belt

I’ve used dozens of the Aisin TKH002 kits- they come with koyo bearings, a decent tensioner, and a Mitsuboshi timing belt, all very similar to the oem Honda parts. I think the only major difference is the Honda water pumps are usually made by Yamada and the aisin ones are made by aisin… I can’t say I’ve ever had failures with them

Pros: similar to oem Honda parts
Cons: Honda water pumps Yamada
Vehicle: Honda Pilot
Part number: TKH002

As the title says, I changed my timing belt today. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley, serpentine belt, and serpentine belt tensioner. All replacement parts were OEM Volvo. There are two noteworthy cracks that go all the way across the belt and tiny cracks all over.

Pros: OEM Volvo parts
Cons: noteworthy cracks, tiny cracks
Vehicle: Volvo V60
Mileage: 107000 km

The timing belt failed kindly early 65k later, so could have been bogus Aisin parts.

Cons: failed early, bogus parts
