SOURCE: how do i replace the timing belt on the volvo s40

this is a difficult job to do if you've never chaged a timing belt before, but not impossible for the novice. I recommend that you get a book for you car and follow the directions very closely. do not get your info from this site. even though there are experienced mechancs that can guide you thru it. you need that book. also if you replace the belt replace all the components of the timing system, including the water pump, if it's in there. you only want to do this one time. labor intensive
