►The drive belt system attached to your Volvo XC90's engine drives the water pump: a critical engine component. If the belt, pump, or any of the pulleys fail, it can mean your engine will stop circulating coolant, leading to overheating. Replacing the water pump and drive belt system together is a great way to ensure smooth, trouble-free driving from your cooling system.

Within the drive belt system are a couple of pulleys, a belt tensioner, and the belt. The pulleys will make a whirring noise once they've started to fail, as their internal bearing has worn out. In other instances, the drive belt can crack and snap if left long enough. Instead of waiting for a failure to occur, perform some preventative maintenance with the help of an FCP Euro DIY.

In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, replaces the water pump and drive belt system on a P2 Volvo XC90 3.2.
