Understanding Engine Timing Control in Volvo 140
The engine timing control system is a crucial component of your Volvo 140's engine. It ensures that the timing of the engine's valves is in perfect synchronization with the crankshaft and camshaft. This precise timing is essential for the engine to run smoothly, efficiently, and to avoid potential damage to internal components. When it comes to maintaining your classic Volvo 140, sourcing the right engine parts is key to preserving its performance and longevity.
Components of the Volvo 140 Timing System
The timing system of a Volvo 140 typically includes a timing belt or chain, tensioners, pulleys, and sometimes gears. These components work together to keep the engine's timing in check. If any part of the system fails, it can lead to engine misfires, decreased power, or even catastrophic engine damage. Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect and replace any worn engine timing control parts to keep your Volvo 140 running optimally.
Signs of Timing Control Wear in Your Volvo 140
There are several signs that the engine timing control system in your Volvo 140 may need attention. These can include a ticking noise coming from the engine, the engine not turning over, a loss of power, or the engine running erratically. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to inspect the timing components immediately. Regular maintenance can prevent most timing-related issues and save you from expensive repairs down the line.

What is a Timing Belt?
The timing belt (Or cam belt) is required to turn the camshaft at the correct speed in synchronization with the crankshaft to ensure that the valves in the engine cylinders open at the right time. This makes the timing belt an integral part of any internal combustion engine.
To ensure the correct tension, it is recommended that all timing belt parts be replaced and the timing belt kits feature the timing belt, the idler and the tensioner pulleys which are required to maintain, increase or decrease the tension on the belt.
When does Timing Belt need to be Replaced?
It is important to replace timing belts at recommended intervals because if the belt breaks when the engine is running it can cause catastrophic and irreparable damage.
If a timing belt is broken or slipping, you should consider changing the belt.
Look out for:
- High RPM engine problems
- Performance and low acceleration issues
- Engine misfiring due to a slipping timing belt
- Ticking noise from engine (This could also be low oil pressure or low engine lubrication)
- Oil leaking on the timing belt cover
Cost for Timing Belt Replacement
If you're handy in the garage then changing the cam belt (timing belt) can be replaced with a little mechanical knowledge. However, if you're unsure get your local garage to do the work. The costs vary, and are around £300 upwards depending on the garage and make and model of your car.
What is a Camshaft?
A Camshaft sits at the top of the engine and features egg-shaped cams to open and close the valves in the engine.
What's the Difference between a Crankshaft and a Camshaft?
Sometimes the crankshaft and camshaft get mixed up. The crankshaft and camshaft work together in a tightly-choreographed function for the engine in your car to operate smoothly.
The camshaft sits at the top and usually uses egg-shaped cams to open and close the valves. The crankshaft at the bottom converts the cranks to rotational motion. They are connected by the timing belt and must work in harmony together. This is called valve timing.
