mk4 agu cambelt change
« on: 22 April 2013, 16:43 »
hi guys over the last few days ive been getting a sqeeking noise coming from the cambelt area so i removed the cover to find a bent tensioner on the cambelt. it wobbles alot while the cars running and its only been on there 3 years/17k from when i had it done last. i havent really got the money atm for a garage to change the belt but i was told that they self tension the cambelt? is this true? i havent got an issue with lining the timing up but im worried about over or under tensioning the belt. is it as straight forward as it looks? cheers

Self tensioning.  How much is it moving?
