2.0l cambelt kit with waterpump, should be 2 - 3hrs for most people....  ....if you've done a couple before, then possible under and hour.

....and don't forget to use a locking tool.

Just noticed, only use genuine Vx kit.

Hi there
Did mine about a month ago, took about 2 ½ hours with genuine vx parts, just take your time and do it right. Use a locking tool , draper one cost me about five pounds and a torque wrench also a good time to flush the rad and read 50/50 mix.
Good luck
