Do Volvos come with timing belts or chains?

★ Top Answer
This Volvo uses a timing chain instead of a belt, which is intended to last the full lifespan of the vehicle. While it typically doesn't require maintenance, it can still get damaged or fail, leading to immediate overheating of the car. Replacing the timing chain may cost around $100 for the part and another $100 for labor. When purchasing online, be careful as some retailers may incorrectly label both a timing chain and a timing belt as a cam belt, which could result in getting the wrong part.
