2001 v70 Timing Belt Replacement
Went to replace the timing belt on wife's 2001 V70 B5244S non-turbo FWD w/ 107k miles. AllData shows two different ways depending on if I want to "adjust" the VVT. Since the VVT was working, and I don't have a 999 5451 Adjustment Tool, should I go ahead and time the cams to the crank according to the notches in the top cover and oil pump ?
?Hi
I havent done a timing belt with VVT, but when replacing the belt you just make sure nothing moves (or if it does then pull it back). The car wakes up and doesnt even know it has a new belt.
In other words, if you dont want to adjust the VVT, I cant see why replacing the timing belt would be any different.
Good luck!

Dave,
I would get the crank timing mark correct and the cams close (i.e. not 180 dgrs out) and then make new marks for the cams using a triangular file and some white out/ scratch all. You could also use the cam holder that IPD sells, and just insert it once you have the crank correct and the cams close. It is fairly easy to accidentally move the cams slightly when trying to get he belt to slip off and on, and thus you need either good reference marks or a tool to make sure nothing moved.
Just my 2c,
Sean

Thank you. As I Googled this topic at work, someone had the shown the cam gears on a Volvo tied up with HD zip-ties. The belt replacement can't be any harder than the one I replaced on my Subaru.

Dave,
It was fairly quick for me to do it. I had changed more timing belts than I care to count on the BMW m20 engine, but the first time for the volvo (2001 XC70) took me about 2.5-3 hours from start to finish. Look in the repair database (top of this page), I followed the instructions there and made sure all my marks were right. The hardest part was keeping things aligned as I tried to coerce the belt back on.
