Re: Timing belt time
do it yourself. 1.8t is probably radically easier than the 2.7t.
i gave graeme my cam shaft lock tool, he'd be happy to rent it to you.Jess

Re: Timing belt time
yeah, no sweat. handy bar though. i think it fits on some of the non-turbo engines as well. not sure. i know it does 1.8t and 2.7t. might even fit some diesels. no idea though.Jess

Pff. I did mine without any fancy tools. The only thing that I had to buy was a 12pt 19mm socket.Originally posted by luunta View Post

Re: Timing belt time
That's kinda what I figured, but I thought maybe there was some magic lock bar that could be adapted to fit either engine type.Originally posted by Triple G View Post
The 1.8 doesn't have twin exhaust cams like the 2.7T, so the 2.7 cam lock bar is not even close to the same design.

Re: Timing belt time
pretty easy job. Graeme walked me through mine, and I'm borderline retarded when it comes to mechanical stuff. Could be right about that lock tool, but you don't REALLY need it. just mark stuff and be SUPER fucking careful.Jess
