Is there a timing belt or chain in the 2010 Volvo XC70?

Question

Accepted Answer

In 2010, the Volvo XC70 is equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Unlike belts that need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, the timing chain typically does not require replacement. Chains may only need replacing in cases of total failure, which is rare. Belts are exposed outside the engine, while chains are inside the engine and benefit from engine oil lubrication, which is why belts need replacing more often. Opting for a timing chain over a belt seems like a wise choice to avoid the hassle of frequent replacements.
