Volvo suggests replacing the timing belt in the V40 D2 every 90,000 miles or 6 years, whichever occurs first. They recommend having it regularly inspected to avoid costly engine repairs if it becomes too worn and breaks. A common sign of a failing timing belt is a ticking sound from the engine. If you notice this noise, it's important to schedule a service appointment promptly. In more severe cases, the engine may not start or could misfire due to the timing belt issue. Replacing a timing belt on a V40 can be expensive, typically costing between $780 and $970, with labor making up $390 to $490 of that total.
As an American, I can rephrase that for you: You should plan to change the timing belt on your Volvo V40 D2 every 6 years or when you hit 87,500 miles.
