Howw can I find the time of the volvo S40 2001 in the crankshaft.

what marks are you looking for the timing marks if so they are on the timing gear

If the belt broke while the motor was running, the motor is likely badly damaged since, I believe, the five cylinder Volvo engines are "interference engines". The crankshaft and pistons keep moving while the car is in gear and still moving, but the valves stop dead the instant the timing belt breaks. The pistons would have hit some of the valves, cracking or badly damaging the cylinder head and some pistons. If the motor is not damaged internally, though, just line up the timing marks on the cam shaft sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket and put on a new belt. Go online for a diagram of how to align the timing marks.

It should be on the plastic timing cover, in the form of a couple of notches.

Try the front of back of the crankshaft. I think they only put them on the front because of the transmisson. Then possibility of oil contamining it if its has a TC but if you have a timing belt try under that housing.

960 does not has a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley. The engine timing and firing are controlled by the ECU.

Timing belt alignment markings




Here is all the tech info for removing and replacing....hope this helps you:

4-Cylinder Engine

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • Negative battery cable
   • Right hand engine cover
   • Cover over the right headlamp
   • Accessory drive belt
   • Front timing cover
   • Servo reservoir
3. Position Volvo lifting beam 999 5006 or equivalent slightly in front of the front lifting eyelet for the engine. Use Volvo lifting arm 999 5383 or equivalent and Volvo lifting hook 999 5460 or equivalent to raise the front of the engine a few millimeters.
4. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • Right-hand engine mount
   • Right front wheel
5. Turn the crankshaft until the markings on the crankshaft and camshaft pulley correspond. Turn the crankshaft a further 1/4 turn clockwise and then back again until the markings correspond. The markings are illustrated. Remove the upper timing cover.
6. Slacken off the center screw for the belt tensioner slightly.
7. Turn the tensioner clockwise to 10 o'clock.
8. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • Air baffles
   • Lower belt cover
   • Timing belt

To install:

1. Turn all the pulleys listening for bearing noise. Check to see that the contact surfaces are clean and smooth. If the tensioner pulley lever or idler is seized, replace it.
2. If replacing with a new idler pulley, tighten to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
3. If replacing tension pulley, screw into place using the center bolt by hand. Ensure that the tensioner fork is centered over the cylinder block rib. Ensure that the Allen hole on the eccentric is at "10 o'clock".
4. Install the timing belt in the following order:
   1. Around the crankshaft sprocket
   2. Around the idler pulley
   3. Around the camshaft sprockets
   4. Around the water pump
   5. Onto the belt tensioner
5. Carefully turn the crankshaft clockwise until the timing belt is tensioned. The belt must be tensioned between the intake camshaft pulley, the idler pulley and the crankshaft
6. Hold the belt tensioner center screw secure. Turn the belt tensioner eccentric counter-clockwise until the tensioner indicator passes the marked position.
7. Then turn the eccentric back so that the indicator reaches the marked position in the center of the window and tighten the center bolt to 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).
8. Press the belt to check that the indicator on the tensioner moves easily.
9. Install or connect the following:
   • Lower belt guard
   • Air baffles
   • Upper timing cover
10. Turn the crankshaft two turns. Check that the markings on the crankshaft and camshaft pulley correspond.

NOTE Check that the indicator on the belt tensioner is within the marked area.

1. Install or connect the following:
   • Lower timing cover
   • Front timing cover and tighten to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm)
   • Accessory drive belt
   • Engine mount and tighten to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm)
   • Servo reservoir. Tighten bolts to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm).
   • Front wheel
   • Right hand engine cover
   • Cover over the right headlamp
   • Negative battery cable

Bring #1 cylinder to top dead center. as high as it will go. Set distributor in line with #1 plug wire. Then begin using timing light to get it set on.
