Fan belt? gone?

Hi
I have got a V70 from 2003, and this morning I heard something falling when I turned the engine on, the servo-steering did not work, and the battery light came on. Just managed to drive the car to a garage, and we found a wheel that held the belt in place had fallen off, and the belt was also off. What is this wheel called, and the belt? The man in the garage said he might not be able to get the part within a week. I am on holiday in Ireland, and might get stuck here over Xmas (live in UK). Is there anywhere I could buy the part quicker on the internet?

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

I am assuming that the 'wheel' is the belt tensioner as every other round thing on the belt circuit is a pulley. The belt is called an auxiliaries belt, also known as a serpentine belt.

For fast service try Parts Gateway. They will pass your requirements to several parts suppliers who specialize in Volvo parts. The suppliers will contact you, very quickly, with prices and availability. They will post to Ireland.
