- I installed a new drive belt, timing belt and water pump on my Volvo 850 T-5. & did some fault finding.
This video is for entertainment only.
I'm a self taught mechanic, just trying to keep the family car on the road and to save a few memories along the way
If in doubt, always seek advice from a qualified mechanic.

re-watched this...
I realize i would have been scared shirtless if you told me to do this, and i would have used really foul language during my attempt at doing it.
Mechanics are frigging Heroes, i tell you.
Applause. Hat´s off to you.
Thanks for taking time to film, not easy to do whilst trying to do job aswell. My next jobs, rear main, clutch, engine mounts, cv boots, motronic 4.4 conversion, shocks and top mounts.
Thanks Mathew, I enjoy making them. It sounds like you have alot to keep you busy. I need to replace or repair the turbo on my t5, just weighing up my options at the moment. There are Mallet chras for sale on ebay, but not sure if they will fit.
Yes it must be aggravating to get decent camera views while working in this tight space.
This is very helpful. I believe you did some things out of order, but it is easy to sit in judgment watching you work. The serpentine belt got in your way of putting the crank pulley guard plate back in. You should turn over the engine twice to be sure your timing is correct - which you also would do before the serp belt. It looks like having the idler pulley removed would make the water pump access easier. Personally, I would not refill the coolant until I was done, but with all the fiddling needed with the water pump you may have been concerned about dirt on the gasket causing a leak. I bought a stubby T45 for the tensioner, and a stubby 3/8" extension to make it easier to access the bolts.
Yeah access to the drive belt is very restricted. Rather thsn struggle I just decided to put the belt on at the top.
... you want the high speed long reach milwaukee. I didnt lock the cams, just used the factory marks on them to align to plastic cover, crank cambelt pully has mark aswell. Pulleys dont move, crank did a bit when i removed aux pulley, but just moved back to timing mark.
Milwaukee is still top of my want list. 👌🇺🇸
I can see why he used the cam lock tool - he needed to service the seals, so he had ready access - AND most importantly he had the tool. If I owned that tool, I would whip it out too just to use it. I just bought the locking tool for the gear side, because I don't want to deal with more things moving than I need to when I am in there - though my guess is I might not need it. The wonder of Ebay is you can easily sell stuff you don't need. Except my adult movies, because Ebay stopped allowing them a few years ago LOL.
@@donmoore7785 It's just my personal preference Don, If I'm replacing the cam belt I want to know the cams are in true alignment, rather than locking the cam sprockets. I do have a cam sprocket locking tool but it's rather bulky and would obstruct access to the belts which negates me from using it. I know there is a ipd sprocket locking tool but postage is a b!tch to the UK. As you say I'm also able to check over and service the oil seals etc at the same time as locking the cams.
Just did this today on my 850r. Removed aux belt tensioner for more space, had to remove crank pulley as i couldnt get belt out, maybe should have cut it. Engine on 150k, water pump ok so left, car just been put back on road, old belt made in 2005 and fitted 2006, belt still had volvo writing on and no cracks, but tensioner pulley really tight, glad i ordered one. Laughed at ratchet joke, thought the same.
Was it difficult getting the crank pulley off?
@850BRICK 10 years ago, yes it would have been hard when I worked from a single cantilever toolbox. But now my milwaukee 1/2" mid torque go the 30mm nut of easily, and I have a chunky adjustable ribbed pulley puller, so was pretty easy, more annoying was the wheel well liner that yes you can fold up, but would be nice if you could remove/unscrew. Trying to do pulley with breaker bar might be awkward with trying to hold pulley.
I am going to remove my aux tensioner too - it is just two bolts and quick to remove. You just need to slide it around to get it in/out.
i see 5cyl P80 content, i subscribe!
Green Trubobrick too... double love!
Welcome aboard 850BRICK 😁👍
Having several m12 Milwaukee ratchets… my favorite is the m12 non fuel 1/4 drive. Smallest and fits the most spots. I will tell you any Milwaukee ratchet will have minimal value in a timing job on an 850 - even the smallest ones have very limited quarters to work with here :)
Oh no, I had my sights set on one 😫 a hand ratchet/ wrench is such a pain, but useful to know. 👍
@@850BRICK there will just be a handful of fasteners where it just doesn’t fit. The lower water pump bolt fasteners are tight. I have a set of 1/4 drive 10mm sockets in regular, mid depth and deep lengths and that really helps fitting in there. But you only do timing service every 70k on an 850 turbo and they are extremely useful in lots of other maintenance jobs on an 850 so you should still get one :)
Yeah that's a good tip. I'll be doing my other 850 when the weather conditions improve, I'm a glutton for punishment me.
@@850BRICK I own 3 and am in the process of purchasing 2 more :) one of the 3 will become a parts car in the spring due to a recent collision. Always tinkering on something and prefer it that way. Have one teenage driver in the household and will have a second after his birthday early in 2024! Just not that many 850s left on the roads in the US but I don’t think there’s a safer car on the road!
@johnwartjr 😀 I completely understand, I would fill my garden with 850s if I could. Such a great car. The prices only seem to be going up ↗️
I have a vacuum leak at the same spot. I believe it is the rubber grommet around the PTC. Have you fixed it?
I have clamped the vacuum tube down with cable ties for now. I will swap the ptc from a 1998 V70 one as that is slightly wider. If you check out my last video I started to look into it.👍
You can buy that grommet. Also the PTC. I may have a clogged PTC - I have to rip into it to see. PCV box and hoses were replaced 16k miles ago, but I have positive pressure in my crankcase.
