REPLACE!
You won't forgive yourself if it fails during a spell of bitter cold.
Remember, my HEPU failed close to after 18K.

Yeah,

The weather man says this weekend is 60F-64F, unusually warm for early December here in Omaha Nebraska.
I hate to kick myself in the butt for not doing it and the wholeTB thingy blows up!

So, I will do the entire overhaul:
- Serp. Belt + 2 pulleys
- TB + 2 pulleys, tensioner and WP (Aisin)
- Front Cam Seals x2

Will do an updated write-up.

I just came across this video, it is for a 2007 Honda Odyssey van.
Believe it or not, Honda also uses Aisin Hydraulic Tensioner and Aisin Water Pump.

This is how a HT works in real life:

The front end of my engine sounded like that as well. I found the old tensioner to have a leaking seal. The plastic safety bushing likely saved my valves from the old tensioner.

Hi Everyone,
I have a 2011 C70 that I have to replace the camshaft seals on and I have read all the procedures but I am a little nervous in making sure the timing marks are all aligned before beginning the process. I have taken some pictures, and was wondering if anyone can verify if I am good to go? I am not new to mechanical work but very new to a Volvo. Attaching pictures and if someone could get back to me, that would be great.
Thanks in Advance,
MJ67

Well, the 2011 models are in another forum, but you will find people who know both here, so lets give it a day or two to find those folks...

Welcome!!
