2010 Volvo Xc60 Serpentine Belt Diagram ((top)) -
The correct path for the 2010 XC60 T6 (B6304T2) is as follows, visualized from the front of the engine:
Replacing the belt on a 2010 XC60 is an intermediate DIY job. You will need: 2010 volvo xc60 serpentine belt diagram
To follow the routing diagram, you must identify these key pulleys: Crankshaft Pulley (The primary power source) Alternator (Generator) Pulley Power Steering Pump Pulley A/C Compressor Pulley Tensioner Pulley (Adjustable) Idler Pulley (Fixed guide) The correct path for the 2010 XC60 T6
| Feature | 2010 XC60 T5 (2.5L) | 2010 XC60 T6 (3.0L) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Number of accessories | 5 | 6 (includes extra idler) | | Tensioner location | Lower left (near crank) | Upper right (near alternator) | | Belt length | 6PK 2230 mm | 6PK 2345 mm | | Common misrouting | Routing belt under idler instead of over | Confusing smooth idler with ribbed idler | Rotate the tensioner again to create slack
Equation for belt life expectancy (empirical for 2010 XC60): [ L_belt = \fracCT_max^2 \cdot \theta_wrap \cdot f_OAP ] Where ( f_OAP = 1 ) for functional OAP, ( f_OAP > 3 ) for seized OAP. A seized OAP reduces belt life from ~100k miles to ~10k miles.
Rotate the tensioner again to create slack. Slide the belt onto the final pulley. Slowly release the tensioner so it tightens the belt.
