The 2008 Volvo XC90 comes with a timing chain as standard instead of a timing belt. All Volvos made after 2005 automatically feature these chains. This is a huge advantage for you in terms of saving time and money because the chain is designed to last for the entire lifespan of the vehicle without requiring a replacement. In fact, the warranty often covers any costs associated with the chain breaking accidentally for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you do end up needing to replace it, the parts alone can cost anywhere from $58 to $340. Additionally, hiring a service professional or mechanic to replace the chain can tack on an extra $50 to $430 in labor costs.
