Just asking for your help as I usually do when I'm in trouble. I am working on my own vehicle listed above T6 2.9 turbo. I am replacing the timing belt and water pump, please help me with all the best steps to get the best job done. Also, will need pictures as necessary including serpentine replacement.
In advance thanks so much for your all-time help to many people. God bless all of you.

Hi,

I would be happy to help, but I need to confirm something. I am showing only a 2.5L turbo or a 4.4L V8 as options for the vehicle. Can you confirm the engine size?

See pic below.

Let me know.

My Volvo is a 2005 XC90 T6 2.9L turbo by the way I order and received a timing belt ready to remove bad parts and install the new ones just the Timing belt has no marks so how sure are the cams and crank on time? I can send the VIM # if necessary

Hi,

Happy New Year to you as well.

As far as the timing belt is concerned, I attached the directions for the removal and replacement of the timing belt.

Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe
