Does the 2013 Volvo XC60 have a timing belt or chain?

The 2013 Volvo XC60 is equipped with a timing chain. Unlike a belt, a chain is designed to last the life of the vehicle. However, there are exceptions to this. This part features links that interact with the teeth to the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. Its role is to ensure those two components are synC-HRonized at all times because they operate the intake and exhaust valves. Since the chain is constantly in motion, friction can cause tiny fragments to break off and fall into the oil drain pan. If You hear rattling coming from the engine compartment, there is a good chance this is what is causing the noise. Even though the part should last as long as You have Your vehicle, it's a good idea to have it checked periodically. A broken one can result in very expensive engine damage. Replacing the chain in the 2013 XC60 will run You between $720 and $890 with labor accounting for $600 to $770 of that total amount.
