After going to my local tps and pricing up a cambelt kit for my fabia vrs. Came to 63 quid . Bargain.

Anyways be fitting it between xmas and new year. So we shallsee

Have I read sosomewhere that the engine mounting bolts are stretch bolts and to be used once? Upon asking fella on the desk . He said they are ok to reuse :S

The engine mount bolts are fine to re-use. Don't forget to reset the timing after you've finished and run it, it will be out a twitch.

Ahh thanks . Ill get having a little look on guides closer to the time. . Is it simple enough as belts go?

It is indeed, just a single cam and an idler and tensioner, doing the water pump as well?

It was the first belt I've every changed. No bent values

You will need to use your VCDS to check the timing using group 4.

Ahh thanks for that. Never thought about that.

I've just done mine! lot of work but use vcds after to set timing right!

Silly question but ...

Think I got mine to -0.5

But yeah aim is to get 0.
