cambelt

[S34MER]

anyone have any idea how much a cambelt costs, mines starting to get a bit noisy now, and i think she's calling for a change, so prices for a garage to supply and fit anyone?

cheers

Oli :y:

how easy is easy though steve, you are abit of a pro tbh though lol, i have a haynes, take it, it tells you in that?

just didn't know if i had to mess about with timing or anything tbh, as i've never done one before!

[WestyVTR]

citreon £30 ish. not simple get a mechanic 2do it as they can check things like the belt tensioner etc etc it has to be the correct tension also so needs "mr i know what im doing" to do it lol. just had mine done also and needed a new tensioner. if the tensioner is gone engine goes bang bang puff pttsssh. . . . pop. lol

consolt ur haynes mate, have a read and see if ur confident, its not hard but people are scared of the timing but u lock the crank and the cams and then remove and replace the belt lining the marking on the belt up and then set the tension, it tell u how in the haynes, also to set the right tension the haynes shows u how to make a tension checkign tool using a door hinge or something lol
its only gona be about £60 to get someone to fit it 4 ya so might be easyer to get someone to do it but if u do it yourself u learn something and save urself a few bob plus means u know how to do it again when its next due

Valves start flying out of the engine lol.


Its meant to be replaced every 60k or 5 years i think, as citroen reccomend that is. If its getting close to either then you may aswell replace it to eliminate serious bills if it goes snap

[hesslevtr]

im getting mine today its all stripped and ready for a new belt

its simple really just gota make sure its locked off when replacing the belt and mark everything just incase it moves

[williamsvts]

even if it moves you cna lock them up without the belt on.

thanks for the help lads.

I've rep'd the helpful ones, and if you haven't got rep, then its because i have to spread it around first lol!
