I wanted to ask which of these two is in V40? When I bought the car in July
Hey Luca
Not sure if you have the Misubishi GDI or the Volvo motor. If Volvo. it's a belt. Not sure about miles but in Australia, service interval is
7 years or 120,000 km. Might be a good idea to change yours just in case.hope this helps.....

on the top cover of the engine there are three big letters GDI.....so maybe its a mitsubishi engine
Yes you're right, Mitsubishi - not sure if its a belt or chain. Sorry.

If it is a belt, every 80,000 miles, I believe. Don't know about chain. My V40 arrived with 103,000 miles on the clock and I had the belt changed just in case. (Ex-unmarked police - no service history, but whatever was done, was done very well.)
(Are you in the UK? If you are anywhere near Gloucester I could point you towards an ex-Volvo Volvo specialist whom I have found excellent, and whose labour charges do not cause a heart attack. Very friendly one-man band.)
yeah, I live in Sheffield...

That's a pity, it is a bit far. There should be somebody nearer you, and Sheffield is a big place. (I lived in Walkley for a short time.) I was recommended the guy I use, by another Volvo driver, a stranger. I just approached him and asked where he got his done.
