Today i decided to replace timing belt on my S40 T5 with k miles. I also replaced water pump, timing belt idler pulley, timing belt tensioner, and 2 accessories belts. Job was 6 on scale from Fisrt sep was removing the inner wheel well shield which has about 6 torx and 2 10mm plastic nuts: Next step was removing the 3 piece timing belt plastic cover.
Next step would be removing the coolant reservoir so you can gain access to side engine mount by wiggling it while pulling up as its not secured by any bolts and it just slides on 2 pieces of aluminum: Next step is removing the bottom engine shield and putting a jack and a foot long piece of 2x4 under oil pan to secure the engine when you unbolt side engine mount. Next step would be removing the accessories belts which is very easy by releasing the tension from two seperate pulleys: Next step is to remove the 4 x10mm bolts on crank pulley and to remove 30mm crank pulley nut.

I dont have air tools so I used infamous starter method. Now mark the cam gears with marker and mark the crank sprocket with marker just to make sure nothing moves. Remove the idler pulley, it has 2 bolts underneat it. Remove 10mm bolts on water pump and let the coolant drain out in wide bucket before completely removing the pump.
For all the bolts, except the 30mm crank pulley nut i approximated the torque using some experience. One tricky thing was installing and setting the tension on timing belt tensioner. Once you see the tensioner this will make perfect sense. Also, you will have to raise and lower your engine using jack thats already under neat it to be able to access bolts and see the proper position of the tensioner "needle".

Here is the shot i took: Befor taking the timing belt off, rotate the the crank few revolutions by your hand so you get a feeling of how much resistance you are suppose to get from compression, so when you change the timing belt and when you rotate the crank by your hand to test everything out you will know if you did something wrong if the resistance your getting is higher than before.
