Hello. I am new to this site. I have a 2007 XC90, 6 cyl. 111k miles. I had it in to the Volvo dealer to get a code checked, the rep asked me if the timing belt has been replaced. I said no, I was informed it has a chain. He insisted it has a belt. An experienced mechanic friend of mine says it has a chain. Could someone clear this up for me? Was an actual Volvo employee wrong, or is my friend misinformed?

 

What's the VIN?

Thanks

 

Thats a chain.

 

Thanks. No offense, but I am cautious about info I get on the internet. Is there a place I can view this info for myself?

 

I don't know, maybe. But it would be on the internet too, so... Your engine code is 98, which is the new inline 6 cylinder, which uses a chain. It might even be in your owners manual maintenance table.

 

Great. Thank you so much.
