timing

Hi guys just a quick one, I searched but could not find. Any ideas how much a timing belt change would cost. My first time so no idea. From what I've seen it can vary from 100 to 450! I wont be going to a dealership and the garage most likely won't be a VAG specialist. The cheaper the...

Hi. Can anyone in or near Birmingham with vagcom help me to check my pump timing please. I'm happy to pay or by you a drink. Thanks.

Hey guys having a nightmare trying to set the ignition timing up on my ibiza (spec as in title). Got number 1 cylinder at tdc and fitted the distributor so number one on the dizzy cap is slightly in front of the rotor arm. Can't find where the timing mark is to set it up through with a timing...

Have written to Watchdog regarding the problem a lot of us have had with the timing chain slipping on the 1.2 Ibiza engine during a service. This appears to be quite a common occurance and I urge everyone to write to Watchdog with their stories and how much it has cost you. Hopefully after...

Hi all, i am just a newbie to the forum and also a new seat 1.2 sport owner. i have read in the forum that quite a lot of you have had problems with timing chains after about 30k- 50k miles. I am currently at 3k and a little worried about what I have read so far, I was hoping to get some good...

Hi I'm getting this polish guy in work to get me a timing belt when he goes back to poland tomorrow. Supposedly car parts are insanely cheap over there. He asked me engine size, bhp, and engine type. How would I find out the type of engine? He described what I'm looking for, something...

Hi all, Looking for a bit of advice/experience: Is changing the timing belt on a 99 2L AGG engine a realistic DIY job? Are there any specialist tools required? I'd like to be able to pay for someone else to do it but I've been quoted £270 - £320 which is a bit much at the minute...

Having just bought a cupra as a few of you are aware im thinking a good idea would be to change the timing belt.i was wondering if anyone know's of the best website to order parts for your car from?

I have just had my timing belt, tensioners etc , and water pump replaced on a Leon Mk1 110 tdi. The engine is running fine but there is a noticeable vibration at idle (steady 900 rpm) through the steering wheel and driver's seat. This was not there previously. From various searches I have...

Hi all, Following an earlier post about the 1.2 model, which resulted in extremely positive opinions....I am still slightly worries about the timing chain situation. We are literally just on the verge of going out and finding us a used 1.2 SX, but i really wanna find out what date the...

My car is a Y reg 1.6 with 55k miles, I bought it last march and the log book didnt have a timing belt renewal entry in it so I thought I'd better get it done, by a local garage not a Seat dealer. So have I made a mistake of not having a full belt/tensioner kit renewal done the other day? I...

Hi guys I'm currently in the process of possibly buying a imperial blue 02 ibiza cupra. It's currently covered 61k and hasn't had its cambelt changed!! I'm viewing it on sunday and was looking for some advice: - how do you decrease the risk of the belt snapping? I assume driving slowly at...

Havent had the car back long from a rebuild and i'm getting a camshaft position sensor error. I've checked the timing marks/flywheel and the belt is on correctly. Next check was the CPS itself, was fine. So i took the cam cover off at TDC to see the front cam off by one tooth, rotated...

Well Im getting the chain changed in the next month or so, getting the kit put on that seat make for it. Just wondering if other than a standerd service there is anything else that I should get done?

Hey guys, My car is currently sitting at 62K ... I was going to pass on getting the timing belt done until 80K as a number of my friends have done with their TDI's. But I got a bonus from work recently and was thinking perhaps as a safety measure just get it over and done with...

As Above?
