Title: Z22XE 2.2 cambelt due soon-Who can do it?
Post by: joshwyatt on 23 June 2009, 20:18:51
Hello all,
My cambelt is due for replacement soon, in about a month. I've had a look on the trade club website and cambelt kit is £86 I think from memory. I assume this kit does include rollers and tensioners etc?
Forgive my ignorance but could someone explain what the different bits are i.e tensioners etc?
Also I believe the advice is to replace the water pump at the same time...is that right?
And I know there are members on here who do cambelts. What do you charge for doing it? Much rather someone on here did it, as I'd know it was done properly :)

I'll do it for nothing if you've got the bits Josh.

Yep, the kit includes all rollers, belt, and tensioner, so it's complete.

I would also change the water pump, and auxiliary belt.

You'll need anti freeze too....

Wow James,
That's most kind of you...maybe a few cases of beer or something of your choice would be in order for payment as you can't do it for nothing...not fair on you.
I really appreciate the offer, I'll be buying the parts in the next few days or so, so is it ok if I pm you when I've got the parts to arrange a time convenient for you?
Cheers :)

Liquid payment is fine with me  8-)

i can vouch for James cambelt work, he did my 2.2 cambelt about 2 years ago now??

Made a huge improvement, there was a lot of slack on the old belt.

Make sure you change the waterpump as its cambelt driven on 2.2 and for the sake of £40 or what ever it is, its worth it.

I personally would change the aux belt too.

Yup, need 5L of Vx anti-freeze too.

Would it involve copious amounts of alcohol, and a lot of talking 'dangle berries'? If so, I'm in ;D
