940TD, Ticking Noise when engine is coasting

Hi Mike, Please excuse the fact that I have jumped in on this thread. When I was in the trade (Rudds of Southampton) I used to do a lot of the diesel work. We used to set the pump belt tension to 12.5 units on a special tool (No 9995197). Maybe Peter has another method of setting the tension without the need for the special tool. Beardy Rich.

Thanks Beardy, I have told him how to get hold of the tool in a private e-mail. I was about to do so but checked your message first. Thanks again, mate. All the best, Peter

Thanks Beardy and Peter, If this task requires a special tool, then the garage I had the work done would never had used this gauge, they just tightened it as much as they could. I had a look to see where the adjustment was on the pump, I found there is bolt on the end of the pump and there is also a line marker with three lines. I tried to loosen the bolt and reduce the tensioning but for some reason there must be another bolt because I could not even move the adjustment the slightest. Yesterday I drove the car on a motorway and later I could hear the ticking noise continuosly when driving slowly up a enclosed car park drive. I think inevitably I will have to take the car for its 76K service at a Volvo dealer and tell them to also take a look at the pump belt tensioning and the ticking noise for a fixed price estimate otherwise I could possibly see another £1000 bill arising very quickly at £90/hr labour rates currently charged by Volvo!!!, for older cars surely there should be an incentive for owners to get their cars serviced at a lower rate, what do you think??? I guess it is wishful thinking it will never happen. I greatly appreciate all your help and advice. Thanks, Mike
