Timing belt AISIN or OEM Volvo

The belt in the Asin full kit (pulleys, water pump & belt) I installed on my 2000 ej205 earlier this year lined up perfectly.

Get an AISIN timing belt kit with water pump. Uses OE parts. Don’t use gates, dayco, and esp not no name timing belt kits.

Be sure to buy an Aisin timing belt and water pump kit. If it has an automatic transmission, replace the radiator as well or add an external transmission cooler.

I had the belt service done on my 2015 last year at a shop in my area and it was about $900 parts & labor using Aisin brand belt & accessories as I specified. Consensus on the Pilot owners' forum is to use either Honda OEM or Aisin brand parts only.

I just had my timing belt and water pump replaced as well, but I bought the Aisin kit myself off of Rockauto.com for around $270.

I’ve done them on Toyotas with more miles than this and they weren’t even starting to crack.

I just did the timing belt in my new to me 2004 limited and bought the aisin timing belt kit (tkt-021) with water pump. I bought it from summit racing for $183 had it overnighted to me for additional $33 and still cheaper than any parts store near me by $70.

I know I’m in the UK but a Volvo dealership changed the timing belt, auxiliary belt and kit last year on my V60 D5 and I had change from £300.

I have a 2009 C30 with 80k miles and I just did the timing belt and serpentine belts. The timing belt had noticeable cracks and the tensioner was pretty worn out. Better to get it done and spend the money now than have it snap and have a bricked car.

Mine has been unreliable. The timing belt blew, both lower control arms and shocks needed to be replaced, and also both wheel bearings. Just my experience, I got mine at 130k and I'm at 155k now. Im getting rid of it. \n\n\nSo if anyone wants a c30 with a ton of work done feel free to message me lol. Its perfectly good now, fun to drive and I bet thats about everything that needed to be replaced.
