Hi Gavin. Be prepared to read lol
Hi
I hope you can answer this puzzle for me as I am sure you are a very busy man.
My son bought a 2008 Ford Mondeo Titanium X with the Volvo T5 engine and I think VVT as there are two solenoids on rocker cover driver side. Its petrol also. It was going great until he changed all belts and belt tensioner. When he started it the crankshaft Balancer pully collapsed and damaged the head. Had the head rebuilt at engineering firm at dundrod and all looked good. Refitted head, set timing and it started first time but ran very rough. We thought timing might be out so reset but it refused to start. Worked on it for months in our spare time replacing sensor after sensor and finally gave it to local garage to get started. They failed to get it running also but still charged £250. Now got information from another friend who claims its the timing for sure as head owned one and had the same problem. Could you please tell me how to set timing correctly please?? Hate to be beaten as its a great car and he cannot afford another. We have built engines in the past but this has us stumped to say the least. I would pay you if you emailed the correct timing for this Volvo engine please.
