Signs You Need a Volvo Timing Belt Change

• Strange oil puddles or leaking
• Abnormal rubbing sounds or ticking noises from under the hood

Volvo Timing Belt Replacement Interval & Other Maintenance

You'll likely need a Volvo timing belt replacement once every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, which usually equates to every five to ten years, depending on your driving frequency and habits. Be aware of the signs that you need a timing belt replacement, and discuss those symptoms with our staff.

Timing belt aside, your Volvo vehicle will need other work at routine intervals. If you have a Volvo vehicle with a gas engine, you may be due for a Volvo oil change. These usually need to happen once every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, which typically occurs every six months to a year. You may also need a cabin air filter change, spark plug replacements, and tire or braking system service. Check your owner's manual for specific instructions. We can look at your timing belt during these other appointments.
