Timing belt OEM FORD or OEM Volvo
I replaced the original belt on a 1997 ranger 2.3 last month it looked about the same and had 126,000 miles
Pros: long lifespan, good condition
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Mileage: 126000 km
I know I’m in the UK but a Volvo dealership changed the timing belt, auxiliary belt and kit last year on my V60 D5 and I had change from £300.
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I have a 2009 C30 with 80k miles and I just did the timing belt and serpentine belts. The timing belt had noticeable cracks and the tensioner was pretty worn out. Better to get it done and spend the money now than have it snap and have a bricked car.
Pros: noticeable cracks, tensioner worn
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
Mileage: 128747 km
My 94 ranger had 230k on it on the original belt. Looked about like this too, sold the truck in 2018, still had the original belt on it.
Pros: original belt, 230k longevity, still functional
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Mileage: 370148 km
My Ecoboost is supposed to have a belt replacement at 150000 miles or 10 years. I cannot fathom how it is supposed to hold up that long.
Vehicle:
Ford
Id stay away from that motor. It uses a wet timing belt. Not a great design. Expensive to replace and will only last about 100,000 miles.
Cons: expensive to replace, short life
Mileage: 100000 km
Nako hindi na ako bibili ng Volvo! Sirain pala mga timing belt nun.
Cons: prone to breaking
I forced him to take it to my current indy Volvo garage and they gave him a huge lost of everything wrong with it, including a timing belt and fan belt. It had the distinctive whisp/chirp of worn belts.
Pros: worn belts, distinctive chirp
Cons: huge list of problems
Vehicle:
Volvo V50
The newer Ford EcoBoost engines are notorious for their wet timing belts failing and clogging the oil pickup, thus killing the engine.
Cons: wet timing belts failing
Vehicle:
Ford
About 67k on the clock, 17 plate. Engine blew on a dual carriageway. Took it to a proper, full-fat Ford Dealer and Repairer to have a look and turns out, bad belt. They tried to replace the engine but they couldn't work out how to fit it, nor code it correctly. Ridiculous. Always had Fords, but this entire experience put us off them completely.
Cons: engine blew, bad belt
Vehicle:
Ford Transit
Mileage: 67000 km
