Replace a Serpentine Belt On Volvo

Replacing the Serpentine Belt with a tensioner is a pretty easy job. On a Volvo it can be a little tight and there are a few things that got to be removed first. So lets go over what has to happen to make changing the belt on your Volvo easier.

First you need to get the radiator and power steering reservoir out of the way. To do this you only need to slide the line going from the power steering pump out of it's restraint on the top of the pump. Then remove the line on the radiator reservoir that is closest to the fender. Be sure to plug this line once remove to reduce the amount of coolant lost. You can now simple lift the radiator and power steering reservoir out and lay them on top of the engine. See picture and video for further details.

Next you their is a plastic cover the is located forward of the radiator and power steering reservoir that clips in place. This can be unclipped and removed to further improve your the room you need to install the belt.

Now we have to get the belt on, and if the belt is gone, use the diagram below. When I installed the belt it was easiest to start at the crank pully. I thin looped the belt over the alternator. Once here it was a little challenging to get the belt looped under the AC pully, but once done you are on the home stretch. Lastly I simply looped the belt over the power steering pump and it was ready to be tensioned.

Now the tensioner can be a little bit of a pain. You have to make sure the the belt is between the 14 mm wrench and the tensioner or it will never go on. Then with the wrench you want to turn clockwise to loosen the tensioner and allowing the belt to slide on. Once on it is just working in reverse to get everything installed back in place.

And one note when installing everything back in place. That plastics cover has groves on the inside the must be lined up to get it back on.
