not too hard, 16v is harder than 8v though

you can get a little kit which lock the cam pulleys in place which helps allot too

It's a 1.6.

Therefore the waterpump is on the belt, it's a bit trickier then the 1.8/2l 8v's.

Not hard though as long as you don't mind simple spannering and mark up the belts.  :smiley:

Our 1.8 belt went two weeks after we got it and lent it to someone, no damage at all, sure it's non-interference.

The 1.6's ARE NOT non-interference and bend the exhaust valves when they go.

For the sake of 30 quid I think it was for a tensioner kit (trade) I'd definitely do it.

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.
