Cambelt Change info
« on: 18 January 2009, 02:54:23 »

Not sure if Im doing it or someone helping me but anyway need to get the parts am I right in thinking all i need is (for a 2.0);

Parts
Cambelt + Tensioners (or all in 1 kit)
Water pump + Rubber Ring
Loctite (which one?)
Coolant

Tools
Spanners/Socket set
Screw Drivers

Do I need anything else? I did remember a while back someone at the garage said about a torque wrench and/or torx set? Also lastly is it worth doing the aux belt + tent. at same time?

4 pot dvd from the club shop? I guess it goes into all that you need.... never done the pot but i would have thought you will need a torque wrench, which brings up the question of which range to choose. Mine deals with 8nm  to 55nm which is big enough for the v6 cam belt, but is not enough for wishbone(90?) and wheel(110nm) bolts. Torque wrenches dont come with a range to cover all jobs on the omega, you need 2 if you diy everything  :-(

you need two idlers unless your buying the kit...
torx sockets are a good idea for the crank pulley (the outer one that drives the aux belt) which'll be 4 torx bolts

you need a set of allen keys or just the 5 and 6 mm ones (im not sure which size it is)

and i dont know where you need any loctite to change the timing belt from when i did mine lol

and yes it's worth changing the aux drivebelt while you've got it off and might be worth greasing the tensioner on the aux belt too

i have to admit i miss working on the 4 pot because its a piece of pi$$ tbh lol

See I said about the loctite as changing the waterpump, thought I would have to loctite the screws/bolts?
