Re: Timing belt time
graeme was super careful and made sure i didn't **** it up.
if you're confident, give it a go. worst that happens, is you're looking at new valves. :P
but seriously, crank the belt until the cams are aligned, MARK the cams and the crank, and their positions on the engine, and then make sure when you crank after you replace the belt, that everything lines up. i'm sure there's some DIY's.
seriously, hardest part was getting the front end off and scraping burnt on G12 fluid off the fucking engine.
EDIT
it feels strange positively contributing.Last edited by luunta; 12-07-2010, 07:33 PM.Jess

Re: Timing belt time
Theres a few DIY's floating around audizine/audiworld. I cant remember, but i dont think you need anything but the socket.
Doing it the second time around, I could do it in under 4 hours

Re: Timing belt time
labour isn't complex, just takes time. i'd try it, and if you feel lost you can just pack her up and send her to a shop.Jess
