It seems a Haynes Manual for your S80 will solve your problem.

If it's the same as the 5-cylinder engines then there's a 30mm nut on the end of the crank that's damn tight. You'll need to make something to stop the crank turning as you undo this. Haynes manual suggests a Y-shaped homemade tool, made out of steel flat bar, that you bolt to the serpentine belt pulley. Oh and the timing marks are mere dimples so some white paint may be useful. This is all assuming it's the same as the

YES, A Haynes manual would solve my problems --too bad they don't make one! I'd love to find a repair manual for the S80. I've tried Clymer, Haynes and every other vendor I could think of --nothing. So that's why I thought I'd ask the Volvo comunity for information on changing my timing belt --but no luck here either.

I have not changed the timing belt on my '99 S-70.

But I have changed the timing belt on my '74 J-H.

You have to make absolutely sure that the cam shafts do not change position. I used several zip lock ties to hold every thing in position.

On my S-70 engine, a transverse 5 cylinder, there is not much room to change the belt.

The dealer charged about $280 to change it last time, so I am going to let the dealer do it this time.

yea, everyone needs to think about what their time is worth, per hour... it would take me hours to chase around 1/2 of the small issues i get w/my high mileage s80t6.....not to mention i probabally wouldn't get it right the 1st time.....i tinker w/the 1993 940t, but not the 00 s80...
