Just remember how much the old CAM belt turned with your fingers this is to gauge the tension the 8V belt turns like nearly all the way around (360 degrees) The 16V is a tad more stiffer so remember how much the belt twisted around before you tension up the new one! :wink:

clipperjay gave a good tip on timing belt which is to leave old one on but cut it lengthways....

PIKEY methods ahoy!!

Such a great cheat when doing cambelts.  :grin:
