No it's a petrol one. But one would think it to be a diesel one... I am changing all the engine mounting rubbers.

Just exchanged my thrusty S 80 2.4 from 1998 for a newer 2-litre 2008 one, only to discover that it shows a lot more vibrations.
Typically at 3500 revs,even at tickover when cold. I am used to the sweet 5-cyl. engine. Is this normal?

OK, I'll keep that in mind when searching for a spare block! Thks.

nearly impossible to do a good weld in the car. Plus do not want to run the risk that something breaks again just the only time ever I'll decide to go through a desert somewhere.I am looking for a secondhand engine but understand that all electronic parts will have to be reprogrammed by Volvo. Also ...

Thanks,You confirmed my fear! Car is 20 yaers old,200000 km but in good condition.Not worth the work I am afraid.

Difficult.it is the alu support structure where the cam belt tensioner is bolted on. I am afraid that it is part of the block,i.e. that there is nofront alu cover on the block,which means engine out to weld it.As far as I can see on a parts catalog,there is no separate front cover. Car is now 20 yea...

Hi all,
The alu part where the cam belt tensioner screws is has broken off. Is this an engine out job? I have no idea if that support is part of the engine block.A foreign part fell into the cam belt,put the whole under tension,something had to give.
Thks for response,
Dirk
