Understanding the Importance of the Timing Belt in Your Volvo 850
The timing belt is a crucial component of your Volvo 850's engine parts system. It synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft to ensure that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. A well-maintained timing belt is essential for the smooth operation and longevity of your vehicle's engine.
Recognising the Signs of a Worn Timing Belt
Over time, the timing belt in your Volvo 850 may wear down due to continuous exposure to high temperatures and stress. Some signs of a worn timing belt include a ticking noise coming from the engine, the engine not turning over, a misfiring engine, or oil leaking from the front of the motor. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time to inspect your belt drive system and consider replacing the timing belt.
Choosing the Right Timing Belt for Your Volvo 850
When selecting a new timing belt for your Volvo 850, it's important to choose a belt that meets the manufacturer's specifications. A high-quality timing belt will ensure reliability and help prevent potential engine damage. Remember, using the wrong type of belt can result in inadequate tension, leading to engine performance issues or even catastrophic engine failure.
Professional Installation and Maintenance
Replacing the timing belt in your Volvo 850 is not a simple task and often requires specific tools and expertise. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic handle the replacement to ensure it is done correctly. Regular maintenance checks are also vital to monitor the condition of the timing belt and to replace it at the intervals recommended by Volvo.

What is a Timing Belt?
The timing belt, also known as the cam belt, is a crucial part of your engine’s function, helping the cylinder head and valves to synchronise with the pistons and crankcase so that the engine’s valves open and close at the right points. Without this timely functioning, your timing belt may begin to slip and cause severe misfires — this happens suddenly rather than gradually. If the belt snaps, it can render the whole engine useless, so it will need repairing immediately. Our handy guide shows you step-by-step how to change your timing belt
If your car has a timing chain instead, you will need to listen out for any unusual noises or cracks that could indicate it has broken. Replace your timing belt as the manufacturer’s handbook instructed, or around every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
If your timing belt needs replacing, you might be interested in our timing belt kits which include all you’ll need to ensure your engine is functioning correctly. We also stock timing belt tensioners that will usually need to be replaced at the same time as your timing belt — these ensure your belt has enough tension to work correctly.
