Timing Belt - Did I mess it up? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 777 on  Mon Oct 23 01:38 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Greetings:

Hey Ken,

I need to replace my timing belt on my 95 850 GLT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I have retained the instructional from Volvo spped.com. You had mentioned that there is no need to remove the crank pulley, aside from that how much easier is the belt replacement? Also can I get around anything else in particular as far as what the instructions stipulate. My goal is to make the transition from new belt,waterpump, and serpentine belt as smooth as possible. I am vry mechanically inclined, however this is my first volvo timing belt. One of the dealers in the area wants 105.00 per an hour! How much time would one need to complete such a task? Don't get me wrong the volvospeed.com presentation is very very informative, its just that I further elect to hear/gather insight from other members of this board who have done these belts time and time again. Please chime in any of your experiences and or important FYIS'. In addition any other members please feel free to elaborate as well. Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
