OEM Volvo Timing belt

Rating 4.0

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.

Pros: noticeable cracks, tensioner worn
Vehicle: Volvo C30
Mileage: 128747 km

I changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 99 accord last year for a grand total of 24 years and 110k miles. To be honest it looked really good and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 15 years

Pros: looked really good, long lasting potential
Mileage: 177027 km

Use a genuine Honda belt if you decide to replace it, a new auto parts store belt will likely fail before that old Honda belt.

Pros: superior longevity (Honda)
Cons: generic belts fail faster
Vehicle: Honda Civic

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.

Pros: fun to drive
Cons: timing belt blew
Vehicle: Volvo C30
Mileage: 155000 km

I have a 2007 S60 and the timing belt was replaced by a non-specialist soon after I purchased it. The tension on the belt has to be just right, and the non-specialist mechanic way over-torqued it. Had I not noticed the issue and taken the car to a specialist, it could have pulled the engine apart.

Cons: over-torqued, engine damage risk
Vehicle: Volvo S60
