DIY Cam Belt!!
Jul 15th, 2010 at 6:40am
 
here is a quick guide for 1.3 12v cam belt change.
before you attempt this you need to make sure you can remove the crank wheel 19mm bolt
.
its easy saving of £150 Smiley.

1. jack car up and remove driver side front wheel and use a axle stand as you will need your jack to support the engine when the engine mount is remove.

8. this is the 19mm bolt i mention in red.this bolt is hard to remove without good air impact gun.i use a 1/2 impact to remove it then take off the crank pulley.

10. take out all the spark plug so you can turn the engine by hand.use a 17mm on the cam wheel to turn the engine till you have all the timing mark line up.never turn backward,alway turn forward till the mark is Aline.

11. loosen the 1 bolt and do not take it out and loosen 2 bolt and dont take that out too.the tensioner will need about 12lb of force to pull it back but if you not that strong then use a long strong flat screw driver on the back of the tensioner where theres a small leaver and take belt off.when new belt gose on and under tension,dont tight those bolts up just yet.hand turn the cam wheel few times round so the belt sit in.once is in,give the tension side or the straight side of the belt the twist test and if it can twist more then half way round then its not tension up.
the twist test must be done right
.if its right then it wont twist more then half way round.once you check and it right then tighten number 2 bolt first then follow by number 1 bolt.

12. once the step 11 is done you are almost done the timing belt so go back to step 1 and tighten the all the bolts and put the timing cover back on.job is done Smiley.

the belt only took about 9lb of force to snap it so i was lucky that i change it or it would have snap on me at high speed Smiley.
