Hi, should I be nervous about my timing belt change? The kit was named "Optibelt", parts were marked "INA"? These things seem global, the kit was almost half volvo price..

Thank you for your opinions!

INA is the manufacturer of the Volvo-branded rollers, so you should be fine there. And those seem to be the crucial parts.

Are the hydraulic tensioner and belt, also marked INA?

Thank you! I didnt look too closely at the belt, other than comparing the size with the old one.. And the tensioner and water pump were not changed, the kit included belt and two rollers, I guess I will notice if I saved money at the wrong place :D
