2014 S60 Belt Tensioner Replacement

Post by Biggertuna »

Recently purchased a 2014 S60 T5 (155K miles) and I'd like to replace the drive belt tensioner and serpentine/accessory belts. I've read that once the tensioner starts to fail, the drive belt can slip off and enter the path of the timing belt; catastrophic engine failure ensues.

I'd like to avoid this (who wouldn't?), but can't seem to find a decent video or instruction set detailing the replacement of the tensioner. I thought FCP Euro would have a vid though I can only find one for the 3.2L engine, not the 2.5L.

Anyone have a good writeup or link to a video?

Btw, here's what I plan to buy. I assume these will last at least 60K?

Thanks in advance.
