Title: '02 2.2 Petrol cambelt change
Post by: glosdave17 on 16 August 2015, 11:02:53

Looking to change the cambelt and was wondering if there's anything that may bite before starting?

Seems fairly straight forward from what details I can see on OOF. Obviously will replace the aux belt at the same time.

Thanks

Oh you'll need to do the water pump too.

Nothing too strenuous. Need to replace the "cambelt kit" (cambelt, idlers and tensioner) and the waterpump (as its cambelt driven). Therefore, you need to do coolant as well.

About an hours work on the 2.2, double that if its the first time you've done it.


Photo exactly how the waterpump sits before removal, as its not always obvious how it goes back :)

Only small faff is making sure water pump sits right, other than that straight forward.  :)
