Many thanks for your videos! On my 2012 xc60 I did not have to disassemble anything at all. I just removed the oil filter cap with the filter to have little more space and then disconnected and unscrewed the alternator, put a wooden block under the alternator so the pulley was sticking upwards between all the hoses and managed to change the pulley without having to take the alternator out completely, which I can not imagine doing on my car. I had to buy the tool of course (6EUR approximately). Thanks for all the instructions!
My generator belt snapped on my xc60 '14, this video showed me exactly how to mount a new one! Thank you. Car is due for a service on monday and ill get my mechanic to replace both pulley and belt again.
Thank you for your great video! I did the exact same thing today. No more noisy rattle from my XC70 now!! The old pulley was completely solid, no more movement!! Did the two belts and tensioner pulley too. The silence is amazing. :)
Best tutorial ever needed. Replaced my freewheel pulley on my alternator an Sunday. I had no worries getting the alternator out through my engine bay (V70 D5). I fpunf it easiest to turn the alternator to have the pulley pointing up anf the two lower mounting tabs pointing to the left. Then carefully pull it up. Plops straight out. But great videos!
Another great video, I enjoyed watching it. I’ve just bought my XC70 after studying your videos, it’s a 2008 D5 UK car. I hope you upload more diesel videos in the future. Thanks so much for the time & effort you put into these videos.
My dealer Volvo service has recognised it as an A/C compressor problem and offered me exchange that part for 800$. Thanks for uploading it in the right time and saving my money. Got new SKF pulley wheel and no irritating sound anymore.
Amazing, I was about to get it done as well, my S80 MY2012 has 131k km on the clock, it is always better to change the pulley along with the alternator belt when the latter starts to fall apart! Damn, I bought the Volvo pulley, did not know INA was making it. Thanks for the video !
Your video is very clear and informative. Filming techniques when zoom in / out or panning are very stable and professional. I really enjoy watching you two working together on the project. Thank you for sharing and educating us (the DIYs).💚

your videos are always helpfull and full of honesty.
Maybe a tip! To pull out the alternator its a small effort to dismantle the cooling unit after the radiator. The vent unit is hanging in on de front and secured by 2 clips and pulled out simple.
Very instructive I 've changed it on Volvo garage yesterday for 1500€ after broken belt on the highway Mine is xc70 2011 D5 205 Hwith 350 000 kms Thanks you for your videos Friendly from France Angers Juan
Just done this job on my D5 and was able to get the alternator out without removing the air duct from the filter, one less thing to do. My pulley was on really solid, it took a long bar to get it off. Thanks to you guys for your clip :-)
Many thanks, I had the same problem on my V60. Maybe one tip. It isn't necessary to remove the alternator from the engine room. Its enough after the unsrewing rotate 90 degrees.So you can remove the pulley. So I skipped the complicated part with the pipes.
Funny that you upload this video now, I just changed the pulley on my -07 S80 D5 2 weeks ago. It locked up completely and made a very deep strange noise
Great video guys, good close ups of the necessary details. I had a bit of difficulty trying to fit a new belt. Seems a really ill considered design. As you said in the video, you definitely need two pairs of hands to complete the task. I look forward to a cambelt and water pump video. Mine is due in the next couple of months 🙄
Replacing the alternator pulley on my 2014 XC60 due to an incremental squeal & battery charging issue which I thought was due to a bad tension pulley since I had this same issue on my 05 Porsche Boxster. When I pulled everything apart I found that the clutch in the pulley has failed at 49,000 miles. When I took the cap off of the old one it was filled with a dark sticky substance, probably the old grease. There is a white plastic sealing ring on the front of the new one and this was completely gone/dissolved on the old one! I bought the new one from FCP as part of there accessory belt/tensioner refresh kit. I almost only purchased the belt with the tensioner pulley & pulley wheel separately because I had read on a few forums and video comments that the alternator pulley generally fails at much higher mileage. Since it was a $130 part I didn't want to really spend the cash on something I didn't need. Then I did more research and found that replacement of the pulley is part of Volvo regular maintenance. I'm so GLAD I bought the kit with the pulley!!! Turns out the tensioner & auxiliary wheels were fine and had no issues but the pulley was done for!! If your working on an XC60 you should do the recommended service since it's a bit of work to get everything apart to do the job. Volvosweden thanks for the video it was very useful in helping me get the pulley off.
I'm thinking about replacing the whole alternator rather than just the faulty pulley. Its a small extra cost for piece of mind of having a new alternator.
Much easy if you remove the oil filter house to get out the alternator. I sort already the freewhel clutch replacement. Mine was locked and in idle had a drive belt tensioner vibrations.
Great thanks for this video instruction of this job. I do like all your videos of this Volvo XC70 modell same as mine 👍😀😀🥂🥂. All your videos are perfect in HD and perfectly explained. Keep on doing this job. Great thanks in advance 👊👊👊👍👍👌👌🥂🥂🥂 Best regards from 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 Volvo home country
+volvosweeden. Just done my 120,000km service on Volvo XC60 2009 T6. Only things I haven't done yet are replacing the serpentine belt and the external fuel filter. Could you please do videos on these. Looking at your videos, your engine layout is pretty much identical to my car (except mines right hand drive). I'm pretty sure I know where the fuel filter goes but it looks like you have to pull off a bunch of panels on the bottom of the car. As for the serpentine belt, looks like a big job. I think you have to remove a lot of things from the right side of the engine bay. Looks like I'll have to take out: air box, battery, A/C compressor and maybe even some more stuff further back in the engine.
If you have the same car with same engine it will be the same to do this work. The car is still the same as left hand drive so you should just follow this.
I changed the pulley on the alternator without actually removing the alternator... it can be done better to change the whole alternator... changing just the pulley is a temporary solution v70 drive e
I really enjoy your videos. They help me a lot with fixing my 2008 xc70. Thanks so much. I want to ask your favor. I need to replace serpentine belt. But I couldn’t find diagram. Can You tell me where to go to get one?
Another great video from this man, would it be possible to swing alternator upwards after removing the lower 2 bolts? saving removing the alternator then insert tool to remove pulley? would be interested to hear any comments.
I'm getting some noise but not sure if it's from alternator pulley or another one. I replaced serpentine belt and tensioner but noise is still there. Any thoughts?
Thx ! Love your videos! Can u tell me how high torque should be when replacing tensioner pulley screw on sepentin belt ? And on Flywheel of Generator ??? Thx ahead
My engine xc60 2.4D is roaring from the alternator area when I reach 1000rpm and nothing is heard at idle or when I go above 1000rpm. Sounds like plastic rattling against metal. What could it be?
Thanks, great vid! Have the same issue on my 2014 V70 D3 with the D5204T7, has just 104000km on it, practically the same engine. First I thought it was the bearings or the mechanical pulley. Also there seems to be a similar issue with the AC compressor giving you this noise, the clutch I believe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QBlTIq_VdP4.html and this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1RduFj8b8Nc.html
So you're telling me that they make 2 different quality of pulley in the same factory? No way they are the same part in a different box. Dont be stupid.
Maybe it translates to him better or hes used to saying generator. Not the same but they do the same job just one is driving the alternator to give power and the other is being driven for power.
