2001 C70 2.3 Timing Help Please

Post by Lewsc70 »

First time Volvo owner. Changed timing belt and cam seal leak. Locked cams with tool. All went well. Runs bad now. Think timing is off. I set cams at tdc because that's all i knew. Heard it's maybe supposed to be one tooth before on exhaust cam and 1,5 teeth before on intake. It's this correct. How do I test?

I did this 2 years ago and as I recall all I did was put marks in the various places, did not use any locking tool. The marks I put allowed me to get the new belt on perfectly. There should be plenty of threads here on how to do this, and youtube videos, I would start there if no other responses here soon. Good luck.

What is the timing showing as being at at the moment on a scan tool? And prior or current codes?

Engine code would help to look it up, think we had an article by engine code as to where everything was supposed to be set - I may be in error though.
