Does the 2008 Volvo XC90 have a timing belt or chain?

The 2008 Volvo XC90 comes standard equipped with a timing chain, rather than a timing belt. All Volvos after 2005 are automatically equipped with the chains. This is very beneficial to You from a time and money standpoint, as the chain is expected to last for the lifetime of the vehicle, never needing a replacement. Due to this, warranty often covers the expense of an accidental break for up to 10 years, or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. If You do find it needs to be replaced, it can cost between $58 and $340 for parts alone. Having the chain replaced by a service professional or mechanic can add another $50 to $430 to Your costs in labor.
