S80 T6 crankshaft lock nut torque (timing belt)

Post by Dextrobrick »

I've been rummaging through the old and trusty copy of VADIS, as I'm in the midst of replacing the timing belt on the '02 S80 T6, and it appears that the tightening torque for the crankshaft's lock nut (part # 3531111) on the B6294T twin-turbo 2.9L straight-six is reportedly 300 Nm (~221 lb-ft).

Is this correct?

I'm wondering if this a typo considering that the tightening torque listed for the same crank lock nut (also part # 3531111) on all of Volvo's 2.3-2.5L 5-bangers of the same vintage is just 180 Nm (~133 lb-ft). I'd surely hate to either strip the replacement lock nut or shear the end of the crank clean off by putting too much torque on said lock nut.

Oddly enough, there's no mention in the VADIS procedures of having to remove the serpentine belt pulley from the crankshaft prior to installing the new timing belt but, as I've already found out personally by removing the old timing belt and then reinstalling it just for grins as a reference, there's little chance of installing the new timing belt with the serpentine belt pulley still installed without damaging the new timing belt in the process.

The tighter the better! Lol 300 is the desired torque. As for the serpentine belt, sometime it make assumptions that you removed other items before working on youor current item. It would be almost impossible to complete this job with the serpentine belt still on place. impossible!
