Re: 850 T5 wrong timing belt tensioner?

My tensioner did not match up to the pully flange it was not as tall as the one that came out in my kit! I was told by FOP Groton to call the Volvo dealer, give them the correct engine number etc. and get the correct part number so Groton could send me the correct tensioner!!!...so yes... I guess th...

MNC01 thanks for the comment... it was a bummer...pat on the back to you!!!... but if I had to do it again ..I would pull out the serpentine pully FOR SURE.. the part problem was with the tensioner not being as tall as the one that came out so yes it will go back. One thing I did learn/try and it wo...

Re: 850 T5 wrong timing belt tensioner?

This is a VERY diffuclt job! due to the VERY tight clearances at the pully..not for the weak at hand or bad backs, etc. the problem is... it wasnt ment to be insttalled this way!, so the bad thing is kinking the belt, and twisting to get it on the sproket! not good for the belt...it seams almost imp...

Re: 98 V70, sunroof stuck shut, not the motor

Thanks

Thats what I thought...to get to those cables/guides the roof must come out
the cable is $100 buck new..so an entire sunroof may be a good way to go if the used cables are good(:

Steam from exhaust suddenly....did I cause it?

1995 850 Turbo I think maybe I screwed something up by spraying a lot of contact cleaner at the MAF sensor without removing the attached intake pipe! Now the steam doesnt stop from the tail pipe, could I have damaged the turbos seals? or damaged the cat ? does water build up in the exhaust after was...

Re: 98 V70, sunroof stuck shut, not the motor

Re: How to remove/replace sunroof?

I have one of the two cables that moves the sunroof back and forth stuck! why its stuck is beyond me, but maybe rust and silt in there, unfortunately there is no way to get any cleaner spray in there... the fit is tight between the cable and guide but I cant figure out how to get the cable and guide...
