Title: Leaky cambelt cover gasket - difficult job?
Post by: mudflap on 21 February 2010, 19:36:01

While visiting my friendly local National Tyres depot on Saturday  for new tyres I asked them to let me have a look under my car under the lift,  i noticed the underside of the engine around the sump was wet with fresh oil and suspect the cam cover gasket is leaking, a common fault on 2.0 apparently - could i do this myself or is it a difficult job?   :-/

On a 2L its straightforward if you have the right torx bits, torque wrench etc.

General advice on here is to source the new seal from Vx.

BTW its also highly worthwhile looking up the guide for cleaning out 2L breathers (written by Grumpy) - in the maint section :y   That will have contributed to the leaking seals in the first place.

Have a read of my guide here:

Its for a 2.2, but 2.0 is very similar, EcoTec strip has torx bolts, rather than clipped in, leads instead of coil pack.

Its a very, very easy job on the 4 pots  :)
