How to replace the timing belt on a P1 Volvo, S40, V50, C30, C70, etc., also Ford Focus ST – VOTD

Timing belt replacement: 3 to 6 hours ($175 / $700 / $1200
WARNING: Failure to properly install the timing belt, tensioner, etc., will likely result in internal damage to the engine. You should ALIGN THE TIMING marks before removing the timing belt, and INSURE the crank and both cams are properly aligned with the TIMING MARKS, then roll the engine over a full cycle prior to starting the engine.

In this video I helped a friend replace the timing belt on his 2010 S40 R Design Volvo. The is NO NEED to install a cam locking tool on the back of the cams unless you are removing a cam hub for a front cam seal replacement. This process should be the same for the following vehicles:
S40: 2005 through 2012
V50: 2005 through 2012
C70: 2007 through 2013
C30: 2007 through 2013
As shown in the video, I did NOT use any cam locking tool.
If I find torque values for the parts, I’ll post them later.

Heyo! Love all the videos you put out there, I just ordered a timing belt kit for my new c30! I remember doing a belt on a 2003 v70xc and remember using a camshaft locking tool due to the engine having Variable Valve Timing and the timing gears and the camshaft being able to move. Do I have to use a cam locking tool on the c30 as well? I didn't see one in your video, thanks!

Is it normal for the electric power steering pump in these p1 cars to be loud/whiny sounds like a high pitch noise
Not terribly loud but noticeable
Mine does that but it seems to work fine

Looks like the same engine that's in my Ford Focus ST225 2005. I remember having to lift the engine up and down multiple times. Not much room in that bay to get at some bolts. The water pump was a pain.
