WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The timing belt must be installed correctly to obtain the correct timing. Before tightening the screws between the camshaft and camshaft pulley press hard (or hit with a plastic mallet) twice on the belt between the camshafts and then twice on the belt between the exhaust camshaft and the engine coolant pump. Do this to ensure that the gears mesh with the timing gear pulleys.
Secure drive belt
Press hard or knock the belt twice in the direction of arrow (1) and twice in the direction of arrow (2) using a rubber mallet.
Secure camshaft pulleys
Tighten the camshaft screws (2 x 3) to 20 Nm.
