CAUTION:Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result
in serious engine damage.

The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be
checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some
manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified
mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive
belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components
on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve
contact. These designs are often called "Free Wheeling".
Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty
schedules in the mid-1980’s to reflect timing belt inspection and/or
replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules in
this manual reflect these changes.

Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any
of the following conditions exist:
*Cracks Or Tears In Belt Surface
*Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
*Oil Contamination
*Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
*Incorrect Tension Adjustment
Volvo recommends replacement of the camshaft timing belt at
the following intervals:

Application Interval (Miles)
1993 ................................................... 50,000
1994-96 ................................................ 70,000





TIMING BELT
Removal
1) Remove spark plug cover and 2 fuel line clips. Lift out
expansion tank and place on top of engine. Remove front timing belt
cover. Remove auxiliary drive belt. Remove right front wheel and
release wheel arch liner to gain access to vibration damper. Remove
vibration damper guard. Turn crankshaft clockwise until all timing
marks are aligned. See Fig. 8.
2) Remove tensioner upper mounting bolt and loosen tensioner
lower bolt. Twist tensioner to free pulley. Remove lower bolt,
tensioner, upper timing belt cover and belt.
3) Remove tensioner upper mounting bolt and loosen lower
mounting bolt. Twist tensioner to free plunger/pulley. Remove lower
bolt, tensioner and belt.
CAUTION:DO NOT turn crankshaft or camshafts while belt is removed.
Inspection
1) Spin tensioner and idler pulleys and listen for bearing
noise. See Fig. 11.
2) Ensure pulley surfaces in contact with belt are clean and
smooth. Check tensioner pulley arm and idler pulley mountings, and
tighten bolts as necessary. See  TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Check tensioner
for signs of leakage, no resistance when depressed, or a plunger that
cannot be depressed.

Installation
1) Compress tensioner and tighten center nut. Wait until
compression has taken place and insert a 2 mm locking pin in plunger.


Install tensioner and tighten mounting bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 N.m).
Place timing belt around crankshaft pulley and right idler. Place belt
over camshaft pulleys. Position belt around water pump and press over
tensioner pulley.


2) Rapidly remove tensioner locking pin. 

To complete installation,
reverse removal procedure. Turn crankshaft 2 revolutions to ensure
timing marks on crankshaft and camshaft pulleys are aligned.


WATER PUMP
Removal
Remove expansion tank cap and drain coolant. Remove timing
belt. See TIMING BELT. Remove bolts holding water pump to engine
block. See Fig. 13. Remove water pump.
Installation
Remove old gasket from cylinder block. Install water pump.
Tighten mounting bolts alternately to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m). Install
timing belt. See TIMING BELT. Fill engine with coolant. Start engine
and check for leaks.
