Hi all has anyone replaced one before thanks.

On what engine?

1.9 tdi BLS engine code 

Yes then. 

 

Quite a few, especially on poorly serviced car or one that’s not used the correct spec oil. 

How hard is it to do any heads up or advice would be great thanks.

Fairly simple. Change the camshaft and the buckets under it. All new bolts for the camshaft and new adjusters for the injectors (plus their basic settings doing). 

 

Cambelt, tensioner and water pump too. 

Thanks.

The timing belt was done about 6 months ago would it still need replaced.

 

Personally a havnt done this kind of job before on any car so am kind of not looking forward to doing it but a can't afford to pay someone to do the job.

Hence thats why am doing it my self.

Is there anymore advice you can supply would be great help thanks.

Do you have the camshaft locking tools? A good decent tool kit? Not essential but a dial test indicator is useful for setting up the injector lash adjustment. 

Is that the locking pins your talking about which yes a do have and a dial test indicator a do as well.

A don't understand the injector lash adjustment tho.

A don't have the puller to remove the cam flywheel where the timing belt goes around apart from that all's good lol.
