Three days :o

The best people on here do it in three hours  not much more than an hour;D

Ftfy.  :y
It takes me about three hours, but Im sure I remember MarkDTM mentioning his time being around an hour and a quarter.
Ive never has any inclination to do the job on someone elses car though. Its one thing messing it up on my own car ,but someone elses is a whole different thing altogether.

He won't boast himself, but James did mine in little over an hour, including changing the water pump!  :y :y :y

The first belt I did took me about 3 days. I started it & then didn't feel well so did it a bit at a time over the whole week end.  ;D ;D

I did my first V6 cambelt change change in days, the belt having jumped a couple of teeth and making a terrible rattling noise. I was on a different forum at the time, and a Doc Omega talked me through the replacement job. That car ran several more years, until daughter ran it into the back of a parked car.

The first one I did took just over 3 hours, mainly because it was so far out that I had to time it from scratch which was time consuming.

First time 19 hours, next 12 hours, then about 8 hours, then in 240 000 km I did it several times each 3-5 hours, had problem with bent tensioner.

I’ve seen DTM do one in 45mins, from car being put in position to it being started again. Long plenum car as well.

Mind you, it was beer o’clock and he wasn’t allowed to have a beer until job complete.
