Cam belt question
« on: 26 August 2008, 22:01:46 »
Looking at having the cam belt changed at Newent , I understand I need the cam belt kit I also want the water pump changed too .
Real question is besides the obvious bits what else do I need to buy .

   If only Cambelt kit & Water Pump, then just Water Pump Gasket.

there are six o ring seals between the plenum and upper manifold.

They come as a kit from VX and it won't hurt to change these also if you are taking the plenum and throttles off at all.

The set weighs in under 14 quid retail. PN: 9118135 if my memory serves me correctly.

    He should only have to remove the Plenum if it's the extended one, not sure if it is on his MY.

Plenum seals will be fine!

Water pump will come with a seal
Cambelt kit (obviously, I rate the contitech ones from buypartsby)
and aux belt is optional (get genuine!)
