My Volvo S40 , 2009 model 4;5l

You mean the transmission fluid should be changed? Yes, every 60k miles or 100km, the transmission fluid should be drained and refilled. Dealership charges probably around US dollars $189.99. If you are talking about having the timing belt changed, then no, the mileage is still low enough and I bet that it is fine. You can pull back the plastic cover on the side of the engine and look at the timing belt yourself. It's actually very quite simple to do. If it looks black and not faded, it should be fine. BUT, if there are tiny cracks in it or the belt itself is starting to shred, CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY! Hope this helps. Owners manual for Volvos say that the timing belt should be changed every 60k/100km, but Ive had Volvos all growing up and 99% of Volvo Mechanics say that the belts can go at least 100k/160km. My 2004 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD went 128,500 miles and 10 years before my Volvo Mechanic said it was time. It all depends on several different factors, but realistically, you probably will be fine for another 25km at least.

When to replace volvo v50 wagon timing belt?

I believe it's every 80k. Just do it if you don't know when it was done last , these are non-tolerence motors and you will do damage to the valves if you break the belt in motion.

Does the 2006 Volvo S40 1.8l petrol model have timing belt or timing chain?

Belt, and in the 2006 it's due to be changed at 120000 miles. I wouldn't wait that long in an interference engine though. If it breaks, your engine is often toast when the valves and pistons impact.

The key is to not just replace the belt, but the idler pulley, tensioner pulley and the water pump while you're in there. Some people suggest going the water pump every OTHER belt (and pulley) change, but to me it's cheap insurance to do it every time.

2002 volvo s60 cylinder 3 misfire detected

I have a bad feeling. I own a Volvo SW XC70 and I had to change the timing belt because I didn't want to have to buy a new engine. I changed it at around 150K miles. The belt is a composite and is not a chain (metal), so it can stretch, thus giving you "bad" timing and making it impossible to tune. If you have not checked or changed the belt, try it. It really won't cost that much (depending on where you take it. I went to Volvo. Good luck.

66,000 miles/6 years.

Volvo V 70 TD Auto 1999 year

Go to www.FCPgroton.com and enter your make and year, then check under timing components. They sale a few different kits for this job. I would recommend doing the timimg belt, idler pulley, tensioner, water pump at serpentine belt at a minimum. you can check and see if you need to do the cam seals also one of their kits includes all these. I would only do those if they were leaking.
