Do I need to change my Volvo C30's timing belt?
I own a volvo C30 T5 polestar.First registered 2011. Mileage 40 K. Do I need to change the timing belt or is it a chain at this mileage!?
Our answer:
Hi Bill,
It has a timing belt, not a timing chain, and it should be replaced at least every 180,000km or 10 years - whichever comes first. I.e. if it has never been done, you really should get it done asap.
