A warning for you all...

Change your cam belt when it's due



Luckily not mine but we were warning the owner for months to get it changed

Oh dear :sad:

I'm always meticulous when it comes to cambelts, I guess that's a great reason to be!

Definitely mate. Second hand head to be fitted to that one soon, all for the sake of a cambelt kit and a bit of labour...

One thing definitely not worth the risk, for the sake of £200-£300 pound if you know a decent garage its madness not to change at the interval and there's no excuse because most come with a sticker that you write the year and mileage on and stick it on the suspension turret  :laugh:
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
