If you're curious about whether the 2016 Volvo S60 has a timing chain or timing belt, you're in luck. The Volvo S60 is equipped with a timing belt, which helps ensure the camshaft and crankshaft rotate properly to regulate the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves. Typically, you'll need to replace a timing belt before reaching 80,000 miles, depending on the specific type used in your vehicle. The cost of replacing a timing belt usually ranges around $600, but it may vary based on your location and the labor charges in your area.
The timing belt is a standard feature on the 2019 Volvo S60.
Timing chain refers to a chain that regulates the timing of the engine's valve movement.
Make sure to swap out the tensioner and idler while you have the belt off, as they tend to fail before the belt does around 90% of the time. It's best to take care of all these components at once.
