Volvo Timing Belt Tensioner - INA 30637955

Minus 1 star since this did not come in a box and just bundled with my other items in the shipping box so it is new just no box

Works as expected but the proper way to set this is not clearly defined. Not a fault on the part or FCPEuro but just a heads up if you are purchasing. Also beware that there are different types of tensioners and that are used, potentially even different ones for car models of the same year and engine type. I believe this style is often referred to as the "new version," evident by the two vertical bunny ear metal tabs with no backward bent portion. Keep in mind these require a special tensioning procedure to set it right during install. If it helps, here is the procedure I did to properly tension this (keep in mind, even some of the FCPEuro videos did not cover this procedure). -Get the tensioner on with the bolt loosely secured -Get the timing belt on and routed -Tighten the tensioner bolt about 90% of the way, leaving enough looseness to adjust the center allen key adjustment (make sure tensioner is vertical, with bunny ears straddling a metal pin/tab on the engine block). -Ensure the belt is seated properly on all pulleys and bearings (PS. make sure the crankshaft has not turned and the alignment tabs are still correct) -Insert an allen key in the center adjustment hole on the tensioner and turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the vertical adjustment tab is on the RIGHT side of the adjustment window (keep in mind, turning the center adjustment hole COUNTERCLOCKWISE will actually cause the adjustment TAB to turn CLOCKWISE). -THEN start turning the allen key/adjustment hole CLOCKWISE until the vertical adjustment tab is in the correct position for the temperature (left for cold, center for 68F, right for hot, look online for diagram). -Continue holding the allen key and tighten the main tensioner bolt. -Remove any camshaft locking tool and turn the engine clockwise at least two rotations from the crankshaft (use the nut). Verify timing marks and ensure the vertical tab on tensioner is still set where you set it (it may move as you pause between cranks from the crankshaft as tension is released but the tab should stay where you set it WHILE the engine is being rotated forward, aka with tension). Look around online for this tension procedure and you will find some helpful information. Hopefully the above will help someone out.

Installation went well (thanks to FCP’s YouTube I stall Video). I’m very satisfied, more orders coming your way !

Recently replaced the CAMs so I changed out the timing and serpentine belts and hardware too well before service intervals. This specific tensioner looked practically new after 2.5 years and 25k mi. There are 2 different tensioner designs for the 2.5T engine so make sure to check your specific engine number for fitment.

Worked as expected with great OE quality. Just follow the guide for how to set it for proper tension.

appearance identical to original volvo part it replaced

Loved it, perfect fit, I was very happy when I pulled the old one out of the car and it was also stamped INA and Volvo. Why would you pay for the Volvo logo when you can get the "EXACT" same part at a fraction? The how-to videos helped a lot! Great pricing, ultra fast shipping. So far a pleasure dealing with FCP.

Same as OEM no difference, installed 3 of these no problem.

Im pretty sure its the same as the oem unit
