Is this the sound of the belt going???
Hi all, I'm new here (just bought a 99 T6 w/ 100K), thanks in advance for your time. I've read the posts about replacing timing belts/tensioners/pulleys and wondered if this is the dreaded sound. It kind of whines, but there's a sound like something is causing friction as well (bearings going maybe?). Engine still starts and drives, but the whine sound becomes higher pitched with higher RPMs.
It's my first volvo, and I only paid 4900 for it so I'm more than happy with putting in $800 to get this taken care of, I just wasn't sure if I correctly identified the sound... Thanks!

RE: Is this the sound of the belt going???
My 02 S80 2.9 just crossed the 100,000 mile mark and im considering the timing belt change.. However, I dont think I want to do that right now unless I specifically have to.. Is there any way to look at the belt and judge its condition? Also, if I part hunt online, what do you think the cost of the timing belt, pulleys and tensioners will be? I only bought the volvo on 98,000 miles so I cant speak of the prior service history (although the prior owners seem to have treated it quite well)..
I just did the same on my 96 Accord (family owned since it was bought), near 160,000 miles... the belt was fine but it was a precautonary measure.. Reason being, the belt burst in our 99 Mitsuibishi Pajero (Montero in the US) 2.5l Turbodiesel and the repair cost was relatively high..

Yes I am in Florida.
But over in Orlando.
I work at a Independant shop thats about 4 miles from the Volvo dealer here in winterpark.
Unless something changed I know the service manager there in Tampa. Last I knew he was still Service Manager.
His name is Eric Rivera. If you ever happen to talk to him tell him ALAN said hi!!

No problem Alan, I plan to be there in a few weeks to get a few odds and ends done. I guess if I really have any work I want done, I can make the run up to Orlando, doesnt take me very long to blast up I-4 anyway..
If you dont mind me asking, what is the labour cost at the establishment your wou work for?
Thanks
