Want this question answered?
how do adjust timing belt on a volvo 240 DL ?
Volvo have a tool to do this. I just used long nosed pliers on the lugs on the piston. You have to put pressure on using pliers whilst turning piston in an anti clockwise direction. slowly but surely it should start to decompress. I had a problem with one but used a 'G' clamp to put more pressure on.
When you replace the timing belt (every 70,000K).

From Spokane Volvo Jag and Land Rover......the initial timing is 10 to 12 degrees!

You MUST replace the cam belt every 50,000 miles on this Volvo. Warning: This is an interference engine.
The timing marks on your 2001 Volvo S40 can be found on the outside of the main pulley. The timing marks will be scattered around the edge of the pulley.
It has a timing belt,
75000 miles based on what I hear and see. These engines wont tolerate a broken timing belt. Change it now
