★ Top Answer
The 2011 Volvo XC60 comes with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. This chain is built to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle and is more durable because it is made of metal. Unlike belts, chains operate inside the engine, so they don't crack or dry out. In addition, they can help improve fuel efficiency. Typically, belts need to be replaced every 60,000-100,000 miles, but the timing chain in the Forester should not require maintenance. However, there is a risk of the chain breaking or the tensioner stretching, which could cause significant damage to the engine. If you notice metal shavings in the oil, experience misfires, or hear a rattling noise while idling, schedule a check-up for your vehicle.
