Replacing the timing belt on my Volvo 850R!

Welcome back to episode 5 of my Volvo 850R restoration series! In this video, we take a closer look at the engine as I tackle a crucial maintenance task—replacing the timing belt on my budget-built red Volvo 850R sedan. What starts as a routine repair quickly takes an unexpected turn when I discover that the engine timing was off. That’s right—the previous owner had the cam timing wrong, which could have led to some serious performance issues. This episode dives into the step-by-step process of removing and installing a new timing belt on the legendary Volvo 5-cylinder turbo engine.
