2006 v70 timing belt replacement instructions

2forty · Post by **2forty** » 22 May 2022, 16:07

Is there a link to a video for changing the timing belt on a 2006 V 70?
I have replaced the timing belt on my 96 850 and watched videos on changing the belt on v70's up to 2005.
Thanks
Owner of, 87 240, 96 850, 97 850 and 2006 V70

last belt i changed I just lined it up and locked the cams, switched the belt , rotated the engine a couple of times by hand to confirm and it was done. If it was timed good at the beginning it will be the same after.

As long as you lock both the cams and the hubs relative to the cams this will work

If all you’re doing is replacing the belt, and not removing sprockets or hubs, then you don’t have to lock anything. Just make sure all three timing marks are on their marks before removing the old belt and after the new belt is installed. I like to make my own reference marks with a Sharpie (especially on the crank sprocket) before I remove the old belt.

I did mine last year on my '03 XC. Make sure you change the water pump and idler and pulley if you haven't seen any evidence of this having been done on your car before.
Mark your old belt while its still on the pulleys before you take it off with a while paint marker so you can reference the marks on your new belt to ensure you have it timed properly. No need to lock the cams, or remove the crank pulley. See photos below.
