cam

Here is mine. Car was built March 2008 and now has 25k on it and running nearly 290bhp. The autotech has been in for approx 8-10k. The pics are good quality as it looks like it does in reality. You can see a circle that's gone light and in the centre the coating has worn off. It was still very...

I've had a search on here and it seems that everyone has their water pump done at the same time as their cam belt service. Mine's a 4 1/2 year old mapped 150 TDi Leon, 50k miles. The garage I've booked it in to said they don't do the pump on diesels as they don't need it - should I get it...

After reading several guides and getting the video from cinctdi I will be (with a little help from my mechanic cousin) be changing the cam belt on my 1.9 TDI 110 asv. Does anyone know where I can locate some aftermarket copies of the VAG tools used by technicians? I have had a look at...

Hey all, I'm new to this forum and currently own a 2002 Black leon Cupra AUQ engine. When I got her it had 52,883miles and was told it did not need changed until 60,000miles. However, I got the belt changed immediately to be safe. I have had it 16 months and has never skipped a beat but she...

Ok just about to get my cam belt changed, anybody got any idea of the sort of cost I should be looking at? I will be getting a GATES kit incl rollers ect and also I will change the other belts at the same time, so what sort of cost would I guess to see from a local garge to supply and fit all of...

just wondering at what mileage people have had there cam belt changed or going to get it changed at?

Hi All, Had my car back for a couple of weeks now following a cam belt service (plus all the usual service changes). I noticed pretty much straight away that it wasn't as quick (oh and the aircon is making a really annoying whistling sound). When the turbo kicks in, about 2k RPM, it used...

Hi there people , need a little help.. tried the search but couldnt find what i need! Got the belt and tensioner , apparantly i need water pump and another roller or something? wonderd if anyone had the correct part numbers ? many thanks

Hi Guys, My car has reminded me again that it's Service time... Also, I've got an advisory notice from my local dealer that my cambelt is due for a change, however my logbook states that it's 6yrs or 60,000 miles, as I've only done ~46k and it's only 4yrs old, I'm a bit reticent to shell out an...

Need some help... my FR TDI (56plate) Leon is approaching 60,000 miles and i am due to have the belt changed. I have spoken with the local dealer who gave me a price and told me that the tensioner may need replacing and that it would cost a bit more if this was the case. So i then called a...

Hi, i was in the SEAT garage today to book car in for it's 80,000 mile service. Last time it got its service i was told that the Cam Belt gets changed at 120,000 miles on my car (52 reg Leon Cupra). Apparently it gets checked every 10,000 miles from 60k upwards and if it looks like it needs...

hey guys, had my cambelt and water pump changed today at Cambelt King in Rayleigh Essex. And i must say I am well pleased with the service i received. I dropped my LCR off at 08:50 this morning and got a call at 16:00 to say it was all ready to pick up. Turned up and my car was parked...

Yes I have done a search but I can’t find what I need. I’m looking for a comprehensive guide on changing the timing belt on an LCR. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

my ayp engine has a basic cam chain tensioner and i want to know if i can use an auq one. it has a solinoid on it which my ayp doesnt.... Cheers guys HoocH

i've been looking in to what cams to get and im a bit lost. im after something that will give me good power but with out moving it up the rev range to much( if that even posible) with a good idle. i was looking at newman cams (as they seem a good price)and there road cam is 264/264 i always...

How often should this be changed? Am I right in thinking every 60k miles? Also how much are they? Just for the part BTW, I have a 1.4 .cool/s (MPi engine)

Hi, Does anyone know where/what the camshaft adjuster is and how much it cost. I've just come back from my local seat dealer in swansea because my eml light was comming on and they told me it could either be the MAF or this cam adjuster thingy, so I asked how much for the MAF £145.64 ,then I...

Hey all, Last night I managed to strip the cambelt teeth on my 1.4 and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much damage there's likely to be (all my tools are at home in Southampton and I'm at uni in Nottingham so I can't have a look at the moment!) Basically what happened is I...

Hi, Is there any types of cam belt kit i should keep away from. Anyone used a conti? £70 seams cheep. cheers
