racecourse42 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi everyone im a bit of a newbie here so apologies if i make mistakes in posting or if its been covered.I just need some info about doing a cam belt change and I have a few questions...First do i need to remove the cam belt sprocket, or can i just loosen it somehow?Do I need to remove intercooler?Can I use a bolt as a timing pin if so am I right in thinking its a M10 cut to 63.4 mm as per Petrol version.Can I just use (or do I even need) a bar of the correct size on cam slot?Do I need a Clavis gauge as per haynes manual, or do new tensioners have auto type setting?Also when I come to mark TDC on crankshaft pulley where do I mark ?I think thats it, Ive never done a cam belt so just wanting to make sure I dont make any errors. Thanks in advance for any advice.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
