I thought it was a good idea to replace while I was in there. While not leaking, I noticed a small amount of coolant crust built up on the freeze plug of the pump. It resembles a rear main seal leak but its actually coming from the power steering pump. What happens to these cars is that the fluid travels down and across the balance shaft cover and down along the block and down onto the transmission. This was leaking….and leaking pretty bad. They’re also known to over heat on these cars so I thought it was a good idea to replace it.

Another reason as to why this cover needs to be replaced can be due to the serpentine belt idler or tensioner failure which, when fails, put a tremendous amount of pressure on the boss incorporated on the timing cover itself. I created this kit which includes all of the gaskets, seals, and hoses needed in order to reseal or replace the timing cover on the Volvo V8’s. However, it’s no secret that the timing cover on the Volvo V8 can leak over time and after recently having to perform this job on my own personal vehicle, a 2006 XC90 V8, I quickly realized that there are a ton of parts to replace to do the job correctly and that there really wasn’t a good kit on the market for us enthusiasts. So I’d take care of it.Īnyone who has a Volvo V8 is usually a big fan of its performance, reliability, and feel. It’s a problem, sure, but overall V8 Volvos are good vehicles and worth this effort.Īnd face it, if you have a V8 Volvo, you have an engine that will certainly never be used again in a Volvo. A leaking timing cover on V8 Volvos ( XC90 2005–2011 and S80 2006–2010) is both a common and certain eventuality. Jason at FCP Euro has a 2006 XC90 V8 and this is his parts list for fixing a leaking timing cover.
