2003 V40 drive belt replacement

Is the belt replacement on the V40 anything like the V70? I haven't found any specifics on the V40 belt. I have 60K miles and have been trying to be proactive on maintenance. I've handled spark plug, fuel filter, and thermostat replacement on the car. Looks like a special tool is needed for the V70, or you make your own.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

I hope this helps:

The 'special tool' is a spark plug spanner.

Bill...think that's the service belt. Believe he meant drive belt- isn't that the timing belt? Sorry if I'm wrong- could be I have the terminology messed up.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I am referring to the drive belt or serpentine belt, not the timing belt.

Sorry about that...and thanks for the clarification. I hope that Bill's nice diagrams and explanations are helpful to you.
