GM ALL, I have a question about Klaus's favorite Volvo, the 2001 V70XC. I have 209,000 miles on it and I am planning to do the timing belt. I replaced the TB at 105,000 and according to Volvo's maintenance schedule the Beast(yes, I lovingly named her that because she works like a beast) needs the TB changed. I need some advice from all the good people on this forum. I saw a timing belt and water pump kit on FCPEURO for $170. The pump, TB tensioner, TB idler come form GMB. 4 seals are from Elring. The TB is from Contitiech and a camshaft plug is from Volvo. I have not gotten a price for a similar kit from Volvo, but I was looking for advice to FCPEURO in general. Are these OEM parts up to Volvo specs?? Am I looking for trouble by not using a Volvo TB and water pump kit??
Thanks in Advnace
