Doing a cambelt change tomorrow so will photo it and post the results as a guide.

That will be a great help!  If you have a camcorder and could vidoe the procedure, I would happily pay for a copy of the tape.

Could you post a picture of the contents of the cambelt kit?

Thanks

The cambelt kit contains (from memory) the belt, the tensioner (which is the tensioner below left hand cams (your failed one) and between the cams), and a roller (halfway down on right).

Allenm pm me your address and I will get a copy of the video(DVD) to you Monday.  I think it stands at about an hour and a half at present so will need some serious editing before general release.   ;D

The current status of this sorry saga is..

having stripped down to the check the state of the belt (Thanks to Theboy), it has slipped a couple of teeth.  Mark DTM has suggested re-allignment of the cams, new belt and hope like hell.

So the next step is to get the cambelt kit, water pump etc and do the following. Roate the crank to 60 degrees before TDC, Which I am hoping the steps below are correct (Confirmation?).

1. remove the locking tools
2. Turn the crank (clockwise) until the notch mark labelled 1 on the first cam from the left is at approx 8 o'clock.
3. remove the belt
4. turn (by hand?) all the cams until their marks correspond to the notches on the backplate then fit the red and green locks.
5. turn the crack until its TDC point (without a belt on) and fit the locking thing onto the water pump.
6. Change the belt.
7  Put it all back together  :-/
8. Turn it over and drive off into the sunset ;D - or not  :'(

I will post the results when I have a go, probably this weekend,  well lets be honest, I will post loads of really noddy pictures asking where bits go ;D

Step 2 is wrong, you need to turn the crank until its 60 deg before TDC, the cams would only be 30 deg before the timing mark ...

You will probably need a torx bit to rotate the cams or grip the pulleys using the old belt.

Cheers Mark!  I suspected that I might have got that bit wrong :(  

I now have the parts, so will start this afternoon,  60 deg before TDC I am going to do this.. is this right?

with the locking kit in place (which I assume makes in certain to be at TDC) make a mark on the crank sprocket at 12 o'clock, turn it (through 300 deg) until the mark is at 10 o'clock.

Are there any markings on the crank that I can use to double-check?

There are markings on the crank and pulley but, they are not easy to spot, with the locking kit fitted its at TDC.

Better to make a mark.

confidence is the key to success, before I tackled the oil cooler problem I had never worked on an engine containing a multitude of parts and electronic gizmos. Now that is finished and feeling very confident, I intend to do the timing belt and accessory belt next before I end up with your problem.
Go for it Al.

OK - First update of many

* removed the old belt and re-aligned the cams as per the following pictures.
Cam 1


Cam 2


Cam 3


Cam 4



Does this look right?  I have put the locking bits in, and am about the re-turn the crank to TDC, before chaning the pump etc..
