Timing belt OEM FORD or OEM Volvo

I replaced the original belt on a 1997 ranger 2.3 last month it looked about the same and had 126,000 miles

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.

My 94 ranger had 230k on it on the original belt. Looked about like this too, sold the truck in 2018, still had the original belt on it.

My Ecoboost is supposed to have a belt replacement at 150000 miles or 10 years. I cannot fathom how it is supposed to hold up that long.

Id stay away from that motor. It uses a wet timing belt. Not a great design. Expensive to replace and will only last about 100,000 miles.

Nako hindi na ako bibili ng Volvo! Sirain pala mga timing belt nun.

I forced him to take it to my current indy Volvo garage and they gave him a huge lost of everything wrong with it, including a timing belt and fan belt. It had the distinctive whisp/chirp of worn belts.

The newer Ford EcoBoost engines are notorious for their wet timing belts failing and clogging the oil pickup, thus killing the engine.

About 67k on the clock, 17 plate. Engine blew on a dual carriageway. Took it to a proper, full-fat Ford Dealer and Repairer to have a look and turns out, bad belt. They tried to replace the engine but they couldn't work out how to fit it, nor code it correctly. Ridiculous. Always had Fords, but this entire experience put us off them completely.
