Title: How do i change Cam belt
Post by: frog on 25 April 2006, 19:42

Does any one know of a link or site where i can get a guide to changing the Cam / Timing belt.
Would it be of benefit to also change Alternator and Power steering belts at the same time as these look like they have to be removed  :rolleyes:

it depends on what condition they are in?are they cracked or perished??
changing a cam belt is very easy once you done it once.dont forget to replace the tensioner aswell! :grin:

Convert the BMP (bitmap) into a JPEG (basically a file type that's good for photo type images) using you favourite image editing program.

Compress as much as you can without it looking blocky and crap. There will be a slider or something called "quality" or "compression".
