Re: 960 Timing Belt 900 1993

I changed mine at 70K. It was a snap compared to the 740. On the B230, all those engine accessories had to be loosened to get the belts off, and there are lots of nuts and bolts to loosen. Then the crank pulley off, cover off, new belt on, on and on.

The 960, fan out, Serp. belt off, cover off, tensioner off, belt out, new belt, compressed tensioner in, pac man in, one revolution of the crank to make sure no valves and pistons collide, cover on, serp. belt on, fan reinstalled and you're ready to go.

See, a snap compared to the B230. Look at www.volvospeed.com/bay13 which shows the procedure for an 850 and is mostly the same for the 960.

When doing a timing belt change, it's a good idea to make sure the water pump is OK since it's driven by the timing belt, so why do it twice if you don't have to?

Smooth and powerful cars.
