They look lined upto me but whether thats the right/wrong way I couldn't tell you as I have only done the Cambelt on 2.0's.

Good luck with it though, I am sure someone will be along with experience of the V6 engine.

Cheers for that Mark  :)

Sodding Typical!! Its bloody raining  >:(

It was a nice sunny day when I started!!

Picture of the Workshop ;)


Note the laptop, armed with DVD and wireless network (I am not alone!! ;D)

Hopefully it will just be a shower.  I've so far managed to get the water pump changed and am just putting the new back plate on.

Anyone know the opposite of a rain dance. ::)

My father always used to say 'you cant hit your own car hard enough'.

So the moral is, if its stuck, hand the hammer to somebody who doesn't own the car!

Update 2 - This morning.

Fitted the new belt and timed it up.  Pictures below.








Just about to put it all back together.

Any hints/tips on refilling the coolant without getting air locks?

Cheers

Looking good, as hard as you thought it would be?

On the coolant, just run it with the heater on hot and the header tank cap off.

Looks impressive I have to admit the V6 engine looks rather daunting to me hence the 2.0 but hey I may get a V6 in the future.  :)

Fingers crossed for you mate when you come to turn the key.

Good Luck not that you'll need it.

So far so good  :)

Quick question, what do I torque the crank pully, water pump pully and Aircon pully to?

Cheers

I cant remember....

25Nm for the crank and power stereing and 18Nm for the water pump ring a bell (could be 15 for the water pump).

With regards torque values just looked at your piccy the haynes on the table should have the values you need.

It should be near the start of the relevant chapter.

So it does!  Cheers nixoro

Crank pully               20 Nm

Water pump pully      Stage 1 - 8 Nm
                               Stage 2  - angle tighten a further 30deg
                               Stage 3 -  angle tighten a further 30deg

Power steering pully  Stage 1 - 20 Nm
                               Stage 2  - angle tighten a further 30deg
                               Stage 3 -  angle tighten a further 15deg

Not really sure what the stages mean, but I will torque them to the value then give it a bit more.
