FOR FUCKS SAKE

Are you going to wait till cams go in or replace the belt asap?

Something simple and effective then Ad's?

Just get the belt done when the cams arrive, were you planning on anything else with the cams when they got fitted?
Id probably try and avoid using it so much until its done just as a precaution.

Thats shit, get the cams in asap.... Although the predator plugs are not around

It's so simple to pull the cambelt cover to one side, so you can peak at the belt. That'll soon tell you if it needs changing...

Car looked very nice yesterday, didnt get to see it up close much though.

Glad your happy with the cams though

thanks man, it's a VTS interior... I'd love a GTi interior but I'd always be paranoid about increasing the wear on it, whereas the VTS interior seems to just be rugged as they come and can replace them easily

To clean the backend up now you've de-badged it.

replace belt and lob cams in at the same time... I didn't want to have the cams fitted if the car was going to remain unmapped but... sod it!

With the cams I'd like to fit the predator 3-plug when it arrives - and then the AT throttle bodies towards the end of the year

yeah, I'm sure I read a report by the Citroen dealership I sent the car to to have a mechanic go over it and check for probs and I'm sure he wrote that he believed the cam belt was replaced around 45k miles... but can't find the paper.

I'm not chancing it anyway, I've been driving like a granny, I mean SERIOUS granny driving...

cheers man, thanks so much for holding on to them for sooo long...

here they are...

AlexB^p · 21st June 2009, 19:54

sayer the cambelt cover has some 5mm allen bolts in the side
undo them and pull it over to see

i would say if your camming you might aswell do the belt
but a good choice with the newmans (im assuming ph3)

right guys... checked the cambelt (well about 1/16 of it) and it looked fine.... no cracks nothing... so I'm guessing it's been changed at some point, what do we reckon?
